REVIEW: Guerlain lipgloss

Hello Cupcake

So firstly a big apology for not being around lately. As i said in my previous post things have gotten rather hectic in my life recently. But hopefully i can get back to regular posting.

Today i want to talk about my favourite lipgloss at the minute and that is my Guerlain lipgloss.

A bit blurry. Guerlain lipgloss

I love the classyness of the packaging

So i must admit i actually didn't pay for this as my lovely mum got this for me. The colour of this is fikkin amazing. Its a gorgeous pink with gold sparkles in it. This gloss looks amazing on it's own but can totally transform any lipstick it goes over. Last week i wore red and this gloss on top omg it created a gorgeous colour.

I am totally a fan of drugstore and high end and in the near future i will do more reviews on makeup that i own especially high end. I find that it's valuable reading reviews on high end products as it can save you from making a mistake in getting the wrong thing.

This gloss wasn't cheap i think it must have been nearly £20. Blimey that's quite steep. But in saying that i would buy more of these because this justifies the price.

What's your favourite high end lipgloss??

Ciao for now

Primark Haul..... (Picture Heavy)

Hello Maltesers


It's been a few days since i did my last post only because i have been uber busy at work. Must admit i don't take to heat very well. Let's get on with it. Last week i went to Primark. Here's what i got....



Blue Collared shirt-£5 BARGAIN

I love the collars and especially the 3 gold button detail

Ruffled long sleeve top -£10

Primark stamp with the 3 buttons again

I like this detailing so i got it in the beige and blue too :)

Long shirt with roll up sleeves can't remember the price

I adore aztec type prints and this is defo a versatile shirt

Sleeveless floral shirt -£12

This design is amazeballs and the collar is so my style

Blazer-£15

3/4 length arms look great with arm candy

Same as the other top in blue. £10

Blue and gold make a good combo i thinks

Overall i was quite impressed with the goodies i picked up on this shop. A few things though i wish the staff would take an extra minute to make sure they fold OUR clothes properly so by the time they get home they are not slaughtered with creases, as you can see from the visuals above!!

When i go shopping now i try to be sensible! LOL no i mean it. I try and get things that will be quite versatile. All the tope that i got i can easily wear to work and on the weekend to with a pair of jeans or whatever it may be.

I do still think Primark is worth it compared to other highstreet stores but i can't pick up as many things as i used to becauses the prices have rocketed.

Do you shop at Primark? do you ever return with uber creased clothing?

Ciao for now

Blistex.... Sort it out

Hello Sweet cheeks

This is going to be really random and i'm not one to complain. I have mentioned before that i am obssessed with lip products especially balms etc. A feww weeks ago i picked up a tube of the Blistex relief cream.

I absolutely love the stuff the only thing that really get's to me is... well have a look below.

Blisteze Relief cream doesn't stop coming out of the tube

I hope you can see it in the picture but as soon as i press the tube even a tiny bit to get a bit of product the stuff just carries on pouring out like there is no tommorrow. So i literally have to squeeze a little bit and them put the cap back on straight away. But every time i open it the nip and cap are manky :(

I love the product just sort out the pressure or whatever it is that build up in this as it wastes so much product.

Rant over

Have you ever tried this? and have you encountered the same problem?

I mean try standing in these bad boys for more than 5 minutes!!

NOTW: H&M Beige

H&M usually come out with these miniature nailpolish sets that are totally random and super cute. I picked up a couple last year and have never worn like my most favourite ever shade!!

H&M Nail polish in Beige

How original. 'Beige'

I love this colour, i love the pigmentation. Only two coats for my satisfaction and it's been on a whole week. Enough said.

NYX haul and first thoughts.....

Hello my Lovlies

Yes yes the sun is out and it's time to see people inappropriately dressed as i encountered a double take situation this morning!

So i am not new to NYX cosmetics but it has been a while since i ordered new stuff from them. So a few days ago i indulged in more makeup that was quite uneccesary really. So i thought i would give you my first thoughts on these newbies in my collection.



LtoR. Xtreme lip cream-Bonfire, Freebie, Cream Blush-Tickled, Concealer in a jar
Tinted Lip Balm

NYX Service: It's the first time that i ordered off the Nyx website and must say there service was phenomenal. I ordered on a Saturday and got the products on Tuesday. Keep up the good work guys.



Colored Lipbalm in 'Shukran'



Swatch on my veiny wrist of Shukran

What they say: 'Add colour and moisturize to your lips in one application. When your lips crave hydration and you crave colour, NYX Cosmetics new Colour Lip Balm is the perfect option! Get the moisture, shine, and a sheer wash of colour your lips desire while still looking natural. Available in 12 shades.'
4g of product
Price: £4.00

What I say:  I got the colour in 'Shukran' as on the site it is swatched as a nice dusky rosy pink. However on my lips this does not show at all whatsoever. BUT i am not dissapointed this is the most moisturising lip balm that i own and i am on it in terms of lip products. It feels so smooth on the lips and for £4 i will defo be trying out more shades. 'Obrigado' a deep red is my next victim.

XLC - 'Bonfire'



One stripe of this badboy

What they say:  'Beautify your lips with this velvety rich lip cream that provides extreme pigmentation with a silky and glossy finish. This lip cream is a hybrid of lipstick, lip gloss, and lip stain with intense pigmentation all in one. Complete your head-turning look with the Xtreme Lip Cream in any of the 11 luscious colors'

7ml of product

Price: £6.50

What I say:  This product is uhh mazing!! I really did not expect the pigmentation to be so intense. I would say this is definately a liquid lipstick but the intensity is out of this world. I got the shade in Bonfire, on the site it looked like a muted pink but on me it looks more of a magenta pink. But i am ok with that. I can't comment on the staying power of this but will give my second impressions once i've used it a bit. Overall i want more!!

Cream Blush in Tickled

Swatch of Tickled

What they Say: More delicious than peaches and cream? We like to think so. Our velvety smooth mineral Rouge Cream Blush offers a sheer wash of radiant colour. The glorious payoff is dewy, sultry and long-lasting. Available in cream blush 12 shades.

NYX Tip: Use our Cream Blush Brush to blend a beautifully, natural colour to your cheek.

5.3g of product

Price: £5.50

What I say: So it's not easy purchasing make up that is not in front of you. After seeing quite a few reviews i thought i would give this a go. I am seriously into cream blushers especially when the sun is out. So when i tried this i used my real techniques stippling brush. I would definately say that the colour is not as pigmented as it looks. This is more of a subtle pinky peach with gold speckles. So after the first time i applied this my face looked wet. Literally i looked like i had sweaty cheeks!!! errr. Second time i applied it just to my cheek bones and dabbed a bit of translucent powder on top. OMG this combination is amazing. This blusher is brilliant if you want highlighted cheeks etc. I am obssessed with highlighter and this gives the perfect glow. Overall i love this product and will definatley see a place for this in my everyday makeup bag. I think i want to try some more and see if they are as wet.

On my hand which is a different colour to my face obviously

and it's gone. not literally i blended it

What they say: 'A moisture-rich, emollient formula designed to conceal discoloration, dark circles and blemishes. Applied with a brush, the concentrated concealer goes on like a dream, is non-comedogenic and creates medium to heavy coverage. The Concealer Jar will last a long time. Available in 13 shades. Use the lavender for sallow skin, the green to neutralize redness, the yellow for under-eye darkness and the orange for under-eye darkness for those with olive skin tones.'

Price: £5.00

What I say: I heard so much about this product and being the self confessed make up addict that i am i had to give this a go. I got the colour in Glow. It's so hard choosing a colour over the net but i gave it a go. So i have been using this for the past couple of days mainly for my under eye darkness. I would say i judged the colour quite well as it does blend in seamlessly. In terms of the formula it is quite similar to MAC studio tech but a thinner version. It claims upto heavy coverage but to be honest on a daily basis this would be in appropriate for this concealer. So far it does sit in quite nicely in my creases and makes them show but apart from that it isn't that bad. I can't really say much more than that until i use it more.

Free gift with my order

To top it all off the lovly people at NYX sent me a free pot of their on the go Glitter. To be honest i'm not into eyeshadows or glitter at all right now but maybe one day soon one of you lovlies will recieve this as a gift from me, it would be a shame to not put it to good use. I mean check that sparklage out!.


This is how i feel today
