Today I'm going to share with you which drugstore lipsticks I love the most. Honestly, I only own drugstore lipsticks so I get to choose form my whole collection.
MUA lipstick shade "1" - This lipstick is only £1 and for that reason alone I suggest you check this out. It is one of my favourite lipsticks because it is super long lasting, pigmented and feels like you're not even wearing lipstick. It doesn't transfer much because it is a slightly matte finish and I adore it. The only disappointing thing is that the line as a whole is a bit hit and miss so it really depends what shade you choose.
Makeup Revolution "rebel with cause" - another £1 lipstick that is worth way more. This is not quite as good as the mua one but is still beautiful. It lasts a long time but can be a bit patchy so if you use this I recommend a lip liner and to scrub your lips beforehand.
Rimmel lasting finish "058 drop of sherry" - This is a beautiful lipstick, it is dark pink and shimmery. It goes with most things and eventhough it doesn't have a very long lasting time (despite the name) I don't mind touching up. It doesn't transfer much and has a metallic finish.
Rimmel Kate "03" - This is a pretty nude lipstick which applies nicely and is long lasting. I honestly got this is poundland which is amazing but they retail for £5.99.
Avon lipstick "In the Buff" - This is a stunning nude shade for pale skin and is my "my lips but better" lipstick. It was literally £2 from the Avon catalogue and I definitely suggest you check it out!
Hope you enjoyed this and it helped! <3

Favourite lipglosses
In this blog post I want to share with you some of m y favourite lip glosses that I recommend you check out.
Tanya Burr's new range - I have the shades "lunch date" and "I found nemo". They have good pigmentation; however they are sticky and don't last for a very long time. I would recommend these if you want pigmentation and don't mind touching up often.
Tanya Burr's old range - I have the shade "smile, dream, sparkle". I don't believe you can get these anymore but they are non-sticky and quite pigmented. It's a shame that Tanya seemed to make the packaging better but the actual product worse.
Bourjois Aqua Laque - I have the shade "06 feeling reddy". These are super pigmented and are completely non-sticky. However I don't think they last very long.
Soap and glory sexy mother pucker - I have the shade "rose and shine". This is a sheer, pinky shade and I enjoy wearing it on it's own or on top of other products. It is plumping and I like how it looks on my lips.
MAC Toledo lip glass - I have the shade "Barbecue". This is a stunning bright orange red colour which lasts for ages. It smells amazing and is very comfortable to wear. I got this as a Christmas present and eventhough I never would've bought it on my own, it is one of my favourite products. I feel like this colour is perfect to wear in any season and I love wearing it. MAC lip glosses are good but the pale shades don't last very long and don't have a good colour payoff.
I hope you enjoyed this and it helped you out! <3

November favourites
This month has been cold but as normal in winter(even though it's still autumn) the sky was blue and there was few days of bad weather. If it's raining I don't usually wear makeup because it just comes off or gets smeared across my face, but there was a lot of good weather. I tried to do my makeup as often as I could so I could test out some new techniques.
Maybelline lash sensational is my mascara favourite and loads of others love it too! I don't have the waterproof one but it still has a good staying power and I could probably get away with wearing this in a drizzle. The colour is strong (mine is the shade black) and it fans out my lashes the way I want - it might be my favourite mascara!!!
Rimmel Match perfection is my choice for foundation, I have the shade 010 light porcelain. It does pretty much exactly what it says on the bottle and I have really enjoyed using it. It is a bit light but all of my concealers are too dark so this balances my face out. My only fault with this is that it has a dewy finish (it does say it keeps skin hydrated) but I can easily fix that with powder. I would recommend this to any skin type (if you can find a shade - they don't go very dark) but take caution if you have oily skin.
For my powder I like to use the MUA pro base prime and conceal powder. This has 4 colours but is a shade of beige when you swirl them together, it looks translucent on the skin so any skin colour can use it. It does mattify and I use this alone on days I just want to set my makeup. If I want a matte finish for the whole day I will use a matte powder and this on top to lock it in place and it lasts most of the day.
Chapped lips are a big problem for me in the colder months so I always have a lip balm to hand. Recently I have enjoyed the body shop's born lippy in passionberry. I love the scent, it moisturises my lips and lasts a while so I don't have to reapply it too much.
Also, I have been getting into matte liquid lipsticks more and more, testing different ones to find my favourite. I love the MUA velvet lip lacquer in "tranquillity", I have a review of it on my instagram, so go check it out!
That was all of the makeup products I've been loving this month, hope you've enjoyed it!<3

Matte liquid lipsticks-drugstore best and worst
I own 7 matte liquid lipsticks in total an today I want to show you which I like the most and the least. They are all drugstore but range in price from £2 to £9. I will do them in price order, of what I paid for them.
£2 - PS super matte liquid lipstick(Primark) in the shade "07 Kendall"
I think I might have one from a bad batch because I have heard a lot of rave about these, but I was really disappointed with mine. Therefore, I might purchase another shade to try it out again.
*side note* after swatching them I found that the W7 and the PS were the most long wearing.
If you want a pigmented lipgloss, go for the essence one. Overall I found that the best are by MUA and the PS one is also good for the price. I think you need to test for yourself to see what suits you and what you are looking for in a lipstick, these are just my personal opinions.
£2 - PS super matte liquid lipstick(Primark) in the shade "07 Kendall"
- Dries down quickly
- Longlasting
- Large applicator, too big for my personal preference
- Drying(but most matte ones are)
- Doesn't dry down, looks like a lipgloss
- Pigmented
- Longlasting
- Wears away evenly but comes off if you eat
- Dries down quickly
- Short staying power
- Wears away patchy
- If used with gloss it balls up
- Not much product

MUA lipsticks review
Today I'm going to show you and give a review of my whole collection of Makeup Academy (MUA) lipsticks. This isn't too big of a collection but I just wanted to share which ones worked (for me) and which ones really didn't. I just love lipsticks and want to help you choose the best of this amazingly cheap brand!!! The lipsticks are all £1 each!
The packaging is very cheap, some of the lids are good quality and some are just terrible, it's hit or miss. When the lid is off the bullet is silver and with the black lipstick, it comes off when I twist the lipstick up! It doesn't happen with any others of mine but my friends claim that the same thing happens to theirs, so it is something to be wary of.
Shades:
Number 1 is a dark, pinky red that aplies really smoothly and looks good on the lips, however it wears quite patchy.
Number 9 is a frosty browny pink that is very sheer and takes quite a bit to build up, but looks nice on the lips, especially layered.
Number 11 is a warm toned dark nude brown, not as bright as the photo. One of my favourite and goes nicely underneath shade number 9.
Number 14 is a beautiful, pink undertoned nude shade, perfect for people with pale skin. This is my all time favourite nude lipstick, helped by the fact that it is £1!!!

'Barely there' is a really pale pink, however the formula is terrible!! It is really thick and patchy, it doesn't look nice on the lips and I just can't wear it. Eventhough it is £1 I do not recommend it
'Raven' is a jet black shade and is perfect for halloween or any occasion where you would want a pigmented, creamy black lipstick. I don't wear it often because I can't really pull it off but if you can or want to test it out, you should definately give this a go!
Overall there are some shades I would definately recommend and some that I really wouldn't, but in general they are good lipsticks for only £1!!!

Favourite lip balms
Hey guys, today I'm going to share with you which lip balms I've been loving(and wearing tons!!) recently.
As you can see, I have quite a lot of choice!!!
The first lipbalm that I'm currently loving is the Nivea Essential Care (dark blue lid). I got a set of 4they'rea lip balms for christmas, this one is by far my favourite. It's just really simple and has a lovely texture. They are around £1.50.
Next I have more tube lipbalms, which I love for their convenience, they're just great for on the go! These are the Barry M Cor Balmys. I have the shades "Adam and Eve" (left), which is quite a sheer pale pink, it gives a lovely sheen. The second one "Current Bun" (right) is a dark plummy shade. Obviously, it isn't the most pigmented product ever - it is just a lip balm! - but it has a beautiful, wearable colour. I find that berrys are hard to wear, but this one isn't. They are £3.50 each.
The next lipbalm that I'm going to tell you about is (in a tin and it's) the body shop's glazed apple lip balm. They are christmas specials so they are unavailable at the moment. They have a gorgeous smell (funnily, its of apples!) and a really nice texture. They are just great and are £4 each.
The last lip balms that I'm going to show you today are the Nivea Lip Butters. I have 4 flavours: blueberry blush, vanilla and macadamia, caramel cream and raspberry rosé. These are my favourite of all time and they been for a while. They smell amazing and the formula is so good. They are quite thick so they're really good for putting on before you go to bed, you wake up with soft lips! They are about £2 and I really recommend them.
