Charlotte Tilbury Very Victoria Lipstick!




I finally caved and bought my first Charlotte Tilbury lipstick, after lusting over all things CT the past few months I just couldn't resist any longer. I must admit what completely sold me was the name-Very Victoria, of course being a Victoria myself I just had to have this as it felt very appropriate especially for my first purchase. At £23 a lipstick these do not come cheap but you certainly get everything you pay for. From the packaging to the scent everything about the CT range is perfect. 
First things first, the rose gold packaging is just to die for! It was another reason as to why I couldn't resist having one for my ever growing lipstick collection. The ribbed packaging and the stamp of CT approval on the lid adds to the luxurious appearance and the product inside is equally as perfect. I absolutely love when I open up a new lip product and it's vanilla scented so for me I couldn't have got a more perfect scent. Very Victoria is from the matte revolution range and is the perfect color for recreating the true suede, taupe 90's nude lip look that is completely on trend at the minute.
Charlotte Tilbury ticked all the boxes for the perfect lipstick, the name, scent, packaging, color and most of all the long lasting effect. My Charlotte Tilbury wishlist just got a whole lot longer.

Have you tried anything Charlotte Tilbury?

Collection Little Mix Makeup Range

For so long I've been wanting to try out the Collection's Little Mix Range and for Christmas I got the Eyeshaodw palette and the lipstick collection. Their range has been very popular since it was launched which has made the products pretty hard to get a hold of otherwise I'd have picked up some products sooner. I love the collab between Collection and Little Mix as they've definitely made their products affordable for their audience who may be on a budget.

All about the eyes palette £2.99- This is the perfect little eyeshdow palette that I think everyone needs to have in their collection. The lightest shade is a slightly shimmery highlight shade called Feather(1) which would be perfect for brightening the inner corner or used on the brow bone. The next three shades Sunkissed(2), Golden Sand(3) and Dazzling Brown(4) are more shimmery, bronze shades that would look perfect all over the lid especially the first two for a really bright eye makeup look. The fifth shade in the palette is called Cocoa Dream(5) and I think this would look perfect in the outer corner of the eye to deepen and make a smokier look or it could be mixed with Dazzling Brown(4) for a lighter corner look. Finally the last shade in the palette is the dark black called Blackbrid(6) which could be used for liner or to further deepen the outer corner of the eye. The only downfall of this palette is that there are no completely matte shades which I feel is essential in any eye makeup look even if just for transition but apart from that I love this palette and it's definitely one you can play around with to create a few different looks. The eyeshaodws are very pigmented especially the black shade which means they still look amazing without priming the eyes and they blend super easy so I definitely wouldn't hesitate to buy the palette especially with the price!

Lipsticks £2.99
Jade-This lipstick has been on my Nude lipstick wishlist for so long now and I was desperate to get my hands on it but everytime I went to try a buy this in Superdrug there were never any left! It's the perfect everyday lipstick and is very much a 'your lips but better' shade. I can already tell that this is going to be a favourite lipstick of mine as I'm already reaching for it a lot because it goes with every makeup look.
Jesy- I have a lot of red lipsticks in my collection but I don't have any quite like this shade. Jesy's is a super pigmented bright red lip which will be perfect for in the summer time and definitely makes a statement.
Leigh-anne-This lisptick is more my kind of red lipstick shade as its deeper, glamourous red. This shade is definitely easier to pull off and you can still make a statement with this lipstick without being too in your face.
Perrie-This was the shade that I really wasn't sure how to pull off at first because it's a pastel purple shade but after trying it on it quickly became my favourite of the collection. Although it can look a little scary in the tube it's actually really easy to wear and I definitely don't have another lipstick like this.

I love the colour range of this lipstick range becsuase there is definitely something for everyone but the only downfall is that they don't last very long on the lips so you do have to keep topping them up throughout the day in order to sustain the look but that's something that really doesn't bother me. 



Have you tried out any of the Little Mix Makeup Range? What are your favourtie products?

Drugstore Nude Lipstick Wishlist

1) L'oreal Liquid Lipstick Nude Ballet. This nude lipstick is the one I am most excited to get my hands on because I currently don't own any liquid lipsticks and I've seen so many people recommend this one. It's also the lipstick that Kim Kardashian wore on her wedding day which looked absolutely stunning so I really can't wait to go out and get this! You can get this from Boots here.
2) Bourjois Rouge Edition Lipstick Rose Tweed. Bourjois seem to be the place to go for lip products at the minute and I've heard so many people talk about this particular shade. When in Boots the other day I swatched this and I fell in love too! I own a red lipstick from this collection and I love it so I can't wait to try out some neutral shades as well. You can get this from Superdrug here.
3) Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet Lipstick. Other lip products that I have seen everywhere at the minute are the Rouge Edition Velvet lipsticks. I can't believe that I don't have any of these in my collection yet because I'm always on the lookout for super long lasting lip products so I definitely need to invest in one of these soon. You can get this from Superdrug here.
4) Collection Little Mix Jade Lipstick. Every time I go into Superdrug to buy this lipstick it's out of stock and I have tried everywhere! I already have a couple of Collection lipsticks and I think they are amazing quality for their price. When I first started looking around online for nude lipsticks this was one of the lipsticks I was first drawn to so I might order this online soon if I'm still unable to get it.You can get this from Superdrug here.
5) Collection Deluxe Lipstick Shade Talullah 2. I've seen quite a few bloggers talking about and recommending this collection nude lipstick. From some swatches I've seen it really does look like a beautiful neutral shade so next time I'm Boots or Superdrug I'll definitely be checking this out, You can get this from Superdrug here.

Do you have any nude lipstick recommendations?

High End Lipstick Wishlist!


The majority of my lipstick collection consists of drugstore products so I've been on the lookout for some high end lipsticks to try out and these are my top 5 favourites that I cant wait to get for my collection!


1) YSL Rouge volupte in the colour Coral intuitive- 15 'Summer Look 2014'. The YSL lipsticks are currently sitting right at the top of my to buy list. I've looked through many of the nude/peachy/pink shades and this one is definitely my favourite. A lot of my lipstick collection consists of darker shades so I really need some different shades that I can reach for. Also how stunning is the packaging?! I seriously can't wait to get my hands on one!
2) Chanel Rouge Coco-56 Teheran. Chanel. This colour is very different to something that I would normally go for but it's the shades that I was instantly drawn to so i'm hoping that it will be the perfect shade for me when I purchase it.
3) Estée Lauder Pure Color Long Lasting Lipsticks in Scarlet Siren-Creme. Whenever I pass the Estée Lauder stand I just can't resist going over and having a browse. This shade is the one I'm always drawn to and I think it would be perfect shade for the autumnal months. It's also a shade that I don't own anything like so hopefully I can pick this one up soon!
4) MAC in Russian Red- The majority of my red lipstick collection consists of bright red shades and when I was searching for a deeper red shade I came across this MAC lipstick and it was exactly what I was after. Hopefully I'll be able to find this shade in a MAC store near me.
5)YSL Rouge Volupte in Rouge in Danger-04. The second YSL lipstick that has made it into my top 5 is the shade Rouge in Danger. I just can't resist red lipsticks in pretty packaging so this one obviously caught my eye.
What are your favourite high end lipsticks?

Autumn Drugstore Lips

Go to lip products this season:







Rimmel Kate moss lipstick 107
Kate Moss lipsticks are one of my favourtie drugstore collections and recently there's been a large amount of rave reviews about the shade 107. Surprisingly this was a shade I didn't have in my collection so I went out and purchased it because I felt like I was seriously missing out on something. After only a few times of trying out the lipstick I realised I had been missing out and big time! Its a deep wine shade which makes it a perfect lip shade for this time of year, so if you're looking for the perfect autumnal look then this is the product to go for.
Price: £5.49
You can get this from Superdrug here or from Boots here.
Essence 04 On the catwalk
You know you've got a really good and long lasting lispstick when the swatches you did in the shop still haven't come off a day later. I have been so surprised at how amazing these lipsticks actually are especially with them being so cheap, I just wish they were easier to get hold off! Even without a lipliner these lipsticks last hours with only a slight fade of colour. At the minute I'm super impressed with Essence and this is my go to lipstick for when I know I need a lipstick to last throughout the day.
Price: £2.30
You can get this from Wilko here or find out where your nearest Essence store is here
Collection Gothis Glam Seduction 1
I've heard a lot about the collection lipsticks on the blogging scene recently so I just had to go out and try one for myself. While on the hunt for the perfect autumnal lip I quickly swatched a few of the tester shades and Seduction was the one that caught my eye, but with my luck the shade was out of stock, so it was only on my second visit that I actually purchased this and even then i'd snapped up the last one! If i'm totally honest I still wasn't expecting much from the collections lipsticks but I'm actually so impressed! Once again it's the cheaper options that i'm preferring over the more expensive lips.
Price: £2.99
You can get this from Superdrug here
Soap and glory Mantrap
This shade is my go to red lipstick at this time of year, when I fancy a change from the berry undertones and the purples this is the shade I reach for. Its not your typical bright red lipstick so it still works great with Autumn looks because it's not too bright. The texture is super soft and creamy so it leaves your lips smooth and doesn't dry them up. As always Soap and Glory products smell gorgeous so I just love it when I've got this on my lips. This is the most expensive lipstick but its definitely worth it.
Price: £9.00
You can get this from Boots here
Gosh lip liner 003 csardinal red
To ensure that you get the most out of your lipsticks at this time of year lip liners are a must especially  when wearing dark lipsticks. Lining your lips beforehand ensures that the lipstick is longer lasting and stops the lipstick from bleeding out onto the lips. It also helps with being much more precise when applying the lipstick so you end up with a flawless finish. This colour works really well with most of my autumnal shades so it was the perfect buy.
Price: £4.99
You can get this from Superdrug here
Soap and glory sexy mother pucker gloss stick Raplumzel
I've been wearing the gloss sticks in two ways recently. The first way is, on days when i'm not feeling the intense lip and i'm trying to go for a more subtle look ill reach for this and apply it straight onto the lips, Its such a quick and simple look and when the colour fades it isn't noticeable because the product is light. The other way I've been wearing this is on top of my other lipsticks just to add to the look and make my lips appear moisturized and glossy. I also love the scent of Soap and Glory because they smell like vanilla which is huge bonus.
Price: £8.00
You can get this from Boot here

What are your go to lips at this time of year?
