The Perfect Holiday Lipstick

You can never have enough lipsticks right? That's what I say to myself when I spot a new lipstick that I want. I picked this beauty up on the weekend when I popped into MAC with a friend. While she was on the hunt for a new foundation, I swatched my way though the lipstick stand and came across this lovely orangey, red, lipstick called 'Crosswires'. (As you can tell I'm not the best in describing colours). I have been after a coral-red lipstick for my holiday as I think it will look lovely against a tan and so when I swatched 'Crosswires' I fell in love. It is the perfect red-orange colour without being too in your face. I originally thought it was a lustre finish because it has such a lovely sheen, but later found out it was cremesheen which is why it has such great colour payoff. I think MAC lipsticks are such fantastic quality and are definitely worth price tag of £15.50. I think next on my list is Vegas Volt - a beautiful coral lippy also ideal for a summer holiday.

Bloggers Beauty A-Z with Vouchercodespro

A few months ago I teamed up with a website called Vouchercodespro. The website is a money saving site with money off vouchers, handy tips and helpful blog posts. Alongside a number of other bloggers I helped create an A-Z Beauty Glossary for the website. The glossary provides a comprehensive list from A-Z of numerous beauty tips and tricks and helpful beauty recommendations. The Glossary finally went live on the 20th May! I am so proud of the work that has gone into the glossary and would love for you to check out my contribution along with all the other wonderful bloggers who took the time to contribute their great ideas.

You can check out the A-Z Glossary HERE to read up on all the amazing tips and tricks from the bloggers. You can find my post under the letter 'U' which talks about one of my favourite eyeshadow pallettes of all time.

Hope you enjoy reading the glossary as much as I enjoyed writing for it.

The Ultimate Luxury Lipstick

Can we all just take a minute to appreciate how beautiful this lipstick is? I honestly don't think I have ever owned such a luxurious product. A few months ago I entered Sophia Meola's 3000 followers give-away competition and was lucky to win a Tom Ford lipstick of my choice. It was a difficult choice choosing between so many beautiful colours but in the end I decided to choose a colour which was easy to wear but still so pretty. After um'ing and arr'ing, I finally chose '04 Indian Rose' - a pretty, soft rosy pink colour. When I received it in the post, I opened it and was overwhelmed by how luxurious and expensive looking the packaging was. The lipstick felt heavy and the bullet itself smells of sweets. The lipstick's formula is creamy yet extremely long lasting and provides a sei matte finish which isn't drying on the lips. The added 'TF' embossed lettering in the top of the bullet just adds to the luxurious look and feel of the lipstick. Definitely a lipstick to splurge on, costing £37.00 it certainly isn't cheap but well worth the high end price tag.

What is the most luxurious lipstick you own? I'd love to know.

5 Products Fast Approaching Holy Grail Status

Many of us have products which we constantly reach for without noticing. We do this usually because they have performed so well for us in the past that we couldn't bear to use anything else. Here is a post of all the products which I am constantly reaching for because they are all just so wonderful. They are all fast becoming my 'holy-grail' favourites.

The Body Shop Tea Tree Foaming Cleanser 

I have mentioned this product from the body shop countless times on my blog as I adore it. It's such an easy product to use, applying a few pumps all over my face whilst in the shower makes cleansing my face super easy and quick. It is from The Body Shop's Tea Tree line and so is great for blemished skin which I can suffer from. At £5 it has fast become one of my all time favourite skincare must haves!

MAC Lustre Lipstick in 'Patisserie'

This lipstick has also been previously mentioned as I was lucky enough to receive this gorgeous lipstick as a Christmas gift and I have been in love ever since. It's a 'your lips but better' shade with a hint of shimmer. It is the perfect lipstick for all occasions and is my go-to work lipstick.

Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette

I was over the moon when I received the Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette as an early Valentines Day gift a few years back. The palette is so versatile and with 12 shades of varying finish from matte to satin and shimmer, you are able to create numerous looks ideal for every occasion. I reach for this palette every day making it my holy grail eye-shadow palette without a doubt.

Dove Summer Glow Body Lotion

I never would of thought this as a holy grail product of mine but when I really gave it some thought I realised this is a product I use a lot. I reach for it on every night out to give me a lovely natural looking tan and I use it lightly day to day to give my skin a natural bronzed glow. At only £4.99, it's affordable and great quality as I have never had a bad experience with it, (streaks, patchiness etc). Definitely a must have if your a fake tan lover like myself.

Rimmel Stay Matte Face Powder in '001 Transparent'

A drug store favourite of mine and probably the best face powder I have ever used. After I apply it in the morning it keeps my face shine free for going on 8 hours. It's so affordable and even though the packaging looks a bit on the cheap side, the product outdoes itself making it my holy grail face powder.
