Current Favourite Lip Products

I have never been a lip gloss girl. I have always tended to go for lipsticks of lip stains. If you have seen some of my other posts you may have noticed that I also tend to go for the deeper shades of lipsticks. It's now rare that I leave the house without a bold lip as that is what I feel most comfortable wearing. I like wearing stains as it means I don't have to keep reapplying constantly throughout the day. I thought I would share some of the lip products I have been loving over the past few months.

1. Rimmel Kate Moss Matte Lipstick- 107 

This lipstick is quite new to my collection but I have been wearing it so much. It has become a necessity for me. You can read my full review HERE

2. Bourjois Rouge Edition Lipstick - 14 Pretty Prune

This too is pretty new to my collection. However, I have been switching between this and the rimmel lipstick on a daily basis. I have a full review of this product HERE

3. Maybelline Superstay 10hr Tint Gloss-  Timeless Plum

The superstay glosses are sometimes compared to the YSL glossy stains. The longevity of this stain is amazing and so perfect for applying in the morning and not having to think about it again. It has a gorgeous fruity scent and can be purchased for £6.99 in Boots.  

4. Revlon Kissable Balm Stain- Crush

When these were first released I was quick to race down to my local boots to pick them up. This is a gorgeous deep berry colour. It's great for those you are not so comfortable wearing bolder lips as you can build up or sheer out the colour to your preference. 

5. Revlon Kissable Balm Stain- Romantic

This stain is a lovely red shade with an orange undertone to it. Although I would have preferred this shade to be more pigmented the shade can be built up with a few layers. These revlon stains can be purchased for £7.99 from Boots

6. Gosh - 134 Darling

My last favourite lipstick is sort of the odd one out of the bunch as it is the only nude. I tend to wear this on the days when I am in more of a rush or need to wear a much more natural look. This applies so smoothly and has a lovely glossy finish.

What lip products are you currently loving? Have you tried any of these?

I really should be packing right now but I wanted to get this post up. Tomorrow I will be getting up at 4:30am to get a boat to Dublin. I am then driving up to my gran's and I'll be staying there for a week. I have scheduled some posts for while I'm away so it'll be like I never even disappeared. I hope you all have a lovely week.

Review: Bourjois Rouge Edition Lipstick 14 Pretty Prune

In the past couple months bourgeois released a new range of lipsticks called the Rouge Edition. There are 18 different shades to pick from which are divided into three categories: Preppy, Colour Block and Night Out. The shade range is amazing and there really is a shade for everyone.

I picked up only one lipstick to try out. I chose number 14 which is named Pretty Prune and is from the Night Out category. Although I am not particularly fond of the name it is a gorgeous deep red/plum shade. The lipstick applies very smoothly to the lips and is also very hydrating.  The pigmentation of the lipstick is absolutely incredible and it also has great staying power which is perfect for those who don't like to be constantly reapplying their lipstick. The lipstick is not glossy but also isn't matte, it has a very subtle sheen which is absolutely lovely.

I am completely in love with this lipstick and cannot wait to get more use out of it. I will also be sure to pick up some more lipsticks from the range as I'm sure they're all just as amazing as this one. The Bourjois Rouge Edition Lipsticks can be purchased for £7.99 however they are very often included in many offers HERE

Have you tried any of the Rouge Edition lipsticks? What are your opinions?

Review: Graze Box #2

Another week, another graze box. I was super excited to see what new snacks I would get to try this week and I definitely wasn't disappointed. As always it came nicely packaged in it's recyclable box.

What I got this week:

Copacabana- milk chocolate buttons, dark chocolate buttons and brazil nuts. This was seriously the tastiest thing ever! Brazil nuts are my favourite and with chocolate too, couldn't ask for a better combination!

Honeycomb Flapjack- rustic rolled oat flapjack with honeycomb and milk chocolate. This too tasted amazing. I don't tend to eat flapjacks because usually because they tend to be too sweet for my tastes. However this one had the perfect balance!

Chocolate Orange- granola seeds, blanched almonds, dark chocolate drops and orange infused raisins. Again another chocolate snack which is perfect for someone like me who is a complete chocoholic! I added this on top of my porridge for breakfast and I must say it was delicious.

Lightly Toasted Pistachios- roasted pistachios with a touch of salt. This was the only snack in this box that did not contain any chocolate. I'm still undecided about this one. I had never tried pistachios before and I'm unsure whether I like them or not. I'll definitely try them again in the future and see whether I can actually decided whether I like them or not.

This was definitely my favourite box so far and I'm excited to try some more. The graze boxes are definitely perfect for satisfying those cravings I get throughout the day. After this box I don't know whether graze can make a better one but I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Review: Rimmel Kate Moss Matte Lipstick 107

I feel like I am the very last person to try this lipstick. For months bloggers have been going crazy for this lipstick creating a lot of hype around the product. I avoided purchasing it as I felt I already had enough lipsticks. However the time came where I was tired of hearing about it all the time and wanted to finally try it and see whether it was actually worth all the hype.

First of all I must talk about the packaging. There is something about the bright red packaging that catches my eye. The bright colour makes it easier to find when rooting around in your makeup bag. It definitely helps make the product stand out a little more amongst my other lipstick.

Now onto the actual product. The lipstick is a deep red plum shade, which is definitely the sort of colour I tend to wear more often. I was a little hesitant about the fact that this lipstick is matte as I tend to suffer from dry lips. However this lipstick applies very smoothly and doesn't drag on your lips at all. On first application it felt smooth and creamy and not drying in any way. The staying power of this lipstick is great too. When I first tested it's staying power I applied it once in the morning and only reapplied once during the day to brighten up the colour slightly after eating. Another plus side is that this is easy to apply without the need for a lip liner!

Overall, I absolutely love this lipstick. It has quickly become my everyday lipstick. It is definitely a bold colour and not for the faint hearted when it comes to lipstick. This lipstick has definitely made me want to try out more of the Rimmel Kate Moss lipsticks and for only £5.49 each how could you say no?

Have you tried any of the Kate Moss Lipsticks? If so, what are your thoughts?

Review: Graze Box #1

A few weeks ago I received my first graze box. I came across grace when I kept seeing photos of the boxes on many instagram profiles. So I finally made the jump and ordered one. 

Graze is an online company that sends out weekly or fortnightly boxes which contain four healthy snacks. The aim is to help relieve those  cravings many of us get as the day goes on. Each box is small enough to fit through your letter box and so you don't have to worry about picking up a package if you don't happen to be home when they are delivered.

In my first box I received healthy popping corn (salted), super berry detox, cheddar gorge and honeycomb crunch.

Healthy Popping Corn (Salted)- This was definitely my favourite snack I received and as soon as I opened the box I headed straight to the microwave to try it out. This tastes just as good as any popcorn I've tried in the past. The flavouring is not over the top and you get such a good size portion. I was surprised by how much I actually got.

Super Berry Detox- I am a big fan of dried fruit and so I was really excited to try this.  In this you get blueberries, green raisins, goji berries and cranberries. These were very tasty and surprisingly very filling too. 

Cheddar Gorge- With this you get cheese cashews, baked herb bites and salsa corn sticks.  Although this sounded quite strange to me I actually ended up loving it. The only thing I would say is it can be quite drying but as long as you have a glass of water you won't have a problem.

Honeycomb Crunch- This was the final snack I tried. In it you get milk chocolate coated honeycomb, raisins and almonds. This is definitely perfect for when you have that sugar craving. 

The best part in my opinion about graze is the fact you can rate each snack. You can choose bin, try, like or love. This then helps the graze team choose what snacks to put in your box more often than others. On many snacks you can also select 'send soon' which is great if there is a particular snack you are craving. 

I think these boxed are such a great idea and definitely something you can look forward to coming home to each week. Each box is only £3.50 which include p&p. If you would like to receive your first graze box for free you can use my code 7Z24YQL. Or you can use this link to take you straight to the graze website by CLICKING HERE.

I am definitely excited to receive my next box and can't wait to try some new snacks.

Have you tried graze boxes?
