PRODUCT REVIEW - CLARINS INSTANT LIGHT NATURAL LIP PERFECTOR 04 PETAL SHIMMER AND LIP BALM PERFECTOR IN 01 ROSE

Now anyone who knows me will know that I do not like lip glosses, there too messy, they get in my hair when a gust of wind comes. Just no. 

However I looked at this and it just looked intriguing, so I went ahead and got the colour 04 Petal Shimmer. I would like to point out that despite the name there is no shimmer in these products. The funny thing was that I actually really liked this product it wasn't tacky and sticky. It half skins into the lips, half stays on them, but they are more like a balm than a gloss. I must also say that it does have a scent to it, but when on the lips you cannot smell the product. But if you do like nice smelling things this is lovely, kind of like caramel. Yummy!

The shade I got was more pink that I usually go for, but it just looked so nice I went for 04 Petal Shimmer, this is like a slightly pink version of your lips. These aren't massivly pigmented but you can see a slight colour on the lips.



I really like these! If you don't like lip gloss, try these out and tell me what you think! 

I just wanted to add on to this post that Clarins recently came out with a new product in this line which are the Clarins Instant Light Lip Balm Perfectors and I got the shade 01 Rose. This is beautiful and very similar to just the lip perfectors, however these come in a blam form in a stick. I really like this product. The only downside is that mine has almost melted and isn't still solid, which is unfourtunate, but this may just be mine!

PRODUCT REVIEW - BY TERRY OMBRE BLACKSTAR MISTY ROCK AND BRONZE MOON (UPDATED)

Image
If you saw my previous blog post on the By Terry Ombre Blackstar eyeshadows you would see that I wanted to originally get 'Misty Rock' and 'Bronze Moon' however when I went on Space NK, they were out of stock (cries!) however I did get them a few weeks back and I said I would do swatches, sorry they are so late but it's better than never! So here they are... (Bronze Moon on the left and Misty Rock on the right) These are super pigmented and very shimmery and simply look gorgeous on!  I have never know another eye product to last so long, even swatching them on my hand it took a good scrub to get the product off! These retail at £28, not cheap but so worth the money in my opinion!  In terms of colour Bronze Moon is a almost a bronze/gold/brown shade and Misty Rock is a pinky/mauve colour. Both utterly stunning and really make the eyes pop when you wear the colour on your lids. You can either do a quick swipe and go or you can really layer on the prod

PRODUCT REVIEW - KEVYN AUCOIN EXPERT LIP COLOURS IN SIREEDAN, ROSERIN AND MICAVEL

Image
After reading a few posts about the Kevyn Aucoin lipsticks I decided to bite the bullet (anyone else get the lipstick pun there?!)  After looking through the variety of colours on offer I couldn't choose between three so typically got them all! ...More swatches for you guys! The first one I really wanted was so different in colour from my usual pink/coral/orange lipsticks. But after seeing a picture on the Internet a girl wearing it, it just looked so damn good! Queue ROSERIN - Described on the packaging as a 'plum rose'. A very apt description I would say.  Up next is SIREEDAN - described as a 'peachy nude', again bang on with the description. This is a perfect lipstick for day to day wear as it's that 'your lips but better' colour. And lastly, but definitely not least, is MICAVEL - a 'creamy coral'. So true, this is a very light coral/apricot colour and is great if your getting into oranges or corals. This is a very good colour to star

PRODUCT REVIEW - MAX FACTOR COLOUR ELIXIR LIP LINERS

Image
These have become my favourite drug store lip liners! Max Factor has come out with a pretty great shade range from nudes to pinks to browns to reds! Horaay! I have found these last a good 5 hours plus and the don't dry your lips out like some liners can...These are easily sharpened and last a long while (ie. use) My favourite colour is Pink Petal, which is a nudey pink, like a 'your lips but better' colour (It looks completely a different colour in these photos by the way!) I have also found that Red Rush last ages and doesn't bleed and it matches most of my red lipsticks (winner!) I would say that these aren't the cheapest drug store lip liners, retailing at £4.99. The texture of these it great, they are quite creamy and sit on the lips very comfortably and the pigmentation of these are very good. At some reviews I have looked at said they loved the product but when comes to sharpening it, it breaks...this has not been an issue for me personally, so make sure yo
