Liquid Lipsticks- Perfect Pink

Its no secret that I am a lover of lipsticks and cannot resist buying more and more, so when I heard the hype around liquid lipsticks I knew I had to get my hands on one. I love the finish of matte lips so I was very excited about this product.

I ordered the Gerard Cosmetics liquid lipstick in the shade 'Serenity' as I had seen this shade a lot over Instagram and it looked like a gorgeous warm pinky shade.
This colour does seem to come up slightly darker on my lips, yet it is still a beautiful colour, perfect for everyday and very wearable. I love how it goes on like a lip gloss with a easy doe-foot applicator but then instantly dries completely matte. I thought this would be very drying however once I applied it onto the lips its not very noticeable at all and the staying power is incredible- it was still on my lips at the end of the day!

I also love the packaging, the frosted glass and gold lid looks very fancy and high end and is a nice new addition to my lipstick shelf.

I am keen to venture further into the world of liquid lipstick and try out other brands to compare. I already have my eye on the Dose of Colours 'Stone' shade, it looks amazing however this brand is not stocked in the UK yet, so unsure if I can afford to spend on the high delivery but I am tempted.

Have you guys ever tried liquid lipsticks, are you a fan?

UNI ROOM TOUR

So this is exciting I'm all moved into my new uni flat for 3rd year and I've been reunited with all my uni gals :) I thought I would share some pics of my uni room as I do love it and have tried to make it as pretty and homely as possible! It is quite a small room, I got the short straw but I am happy with how it looks and I'm excited to live in it now. 

 I love how cosy my fairy lights make my room!

A close up of some items:

 Picked this fancy glass up from Primark for £2.50- great pre-drink cup! I also couldn't resist the pink glitter

 Made this cute pug picture just by printing off the photo from the internet and buying a cheap ikea frame- I think it looks quite effective

 love my Cheshire babe mug that my mum got from the hollies farm shop

 old photo frames and 3 candles: love candle from next, Yankee candle that smells of krispy creme donuts (incredible) from Debenhams and the far pink one from Primark for £1.50!

 My organised makeup storage which is great for all my lippies and this was pretty cheap from ebay!

 I also bought this cute jewellery stand from ebay, think it may be a bit crowded though

 Made both these frames to fill up my room and they are all filled with so many memories

 Plant pot from Ikea that I turned into a stationary holder and a love heart from Dunelm

And finally my cushions which I think tie in with my bedding really nicely and I especially love the middle one its so pretty!

I hope you like what I have done with my room, 

Let me know what you think in the comments below?

Top 5 Lipsticks

From Left to right:
Mac Lipstick in Shy Girl
YSL Rouge Volupte in Peach Passion
L'Oreal Colour Riche in Crazy Fuschia
Nars Lipstick in Jungle Red
Mac Lipstick in Rebel

Is there such a thing as owning too many lipsticks? I think not. If there’s one thing I continually spend my money on that I don’t really need, its lipstick, with a growing collection I thought I would share with you some of my faves. This post was inspired by the lovely Zoella who recently did a blog post on her top 5. I have included all different colours suitable for all occasions, ranging from the everyday lip colours to the more daring darker lip, perfect for a night out on the toon (yes, I like to think I’m a Geordie).

As you can see I have two Mac lipsticks in this collection, many people would say Mac are the lipstick queens and I couldn’t really argue with them. They are brilliant. First up I include Mac’s ‘Shy Girl’, this is the ultimate nude and for me it complements my olivey skin tone perfectly and I love pairing this with a black smokey eye on a night out! It is a cremesheen finish, which means it has a creamy texture and is non-drying on the lips, however the only downside is the longevity, which is maybe not as good as other lipsticks and you may find yourself re-applying it more often.

Next up is The YSL Rouge Volupte in Peach Passion, and oh my, this is my favourite lipstick, especially in summer. The colour is a gorgeous coral peachy colour and looks fab with a tan, it is moisturising but the pigmentation is still really good. The packaging is very luxurious and pretty, making it a real treat to put on your lipstick. Simple pleasures, right?

The only lipstick I chose which is not a high-end product is the L’oreal Colour Riche in ‘Crazy Fuschia’. The colour of this is the perfect ‘barbie pink’ and it really adds a pop of colour to your face. Another great summer shade.

4^th in line is ‘Jungle red’ by Nars and as a lover of matte lipsticks I love this, it is the perfect bright red statement lip. The texture is great,it glides onto the lips smoothly but then has a matte finish on the lips. It has excellent staying power and would definitely last a whole night out partying!

Lastly is another Mac lipstick called ‘Rebel’, this colour is pretty unique, I would describe it as a deep plum/berry and although probably more suited for the autumn and winter I thought I would include it. I like wearing this on a night up to give my outfit that vampy feel and with it being extremely pigmented, it is a dream to wear.

I hope you enjoyed this post, What is your favourite lipstick?

Fashion | August Wishlist

1. Bijouled Boutique- Ariel iphone 5 case.£13.99 OK this isn't fashion related but how cute is this? I found these adorable Disney inspired phone cases on Instagram, and they are all hand jewelled. Ariel is probably my favourite Disney princess, and here she is holding the apple logo in her hands, I just need this in my life!

2. Lamoda- Leila Candy Pink Suede block heel sandal. £22 I love these, I can never resist a pair of heels and I do not own a pair of pink heels as of yet, so these would definitely add something to my wardrobe. They are super girly but the gold strap acorss the ankle adds a little edge to them, but also perfect if like me you want support when you are tottering back from town after a night out.

3. River Island- Black leather-look panel racer front dress. £38 I love leather, real or faux and this contrast piece is so perfect. It is effortlessly chic and could be dressed up or down, I love the racer style top as it is very flattering and the length of the dress is ideal.

4. Topshop- Pink Josie crop top by motel. £22 This gingham print is so summery and cute, and I would love to style this with high waisted ripped jeans. 

5. Zara- Leather Backpack with clasp. £79.99 Ah this bag is amazing! It is small, compact, leather and has the exciting chain detail on the strap, I would love this hung over my shoulder but with the hefty price tag, I think I’ll just be staring at this through my screen for now(sob) 

6. Topshop-Black snake peep toe platforms. £55 You can never have too many pairs of black heels and these black, croc print beauties are fab. With the chunky platform and heel they look like they would be easy to walk in, which is a major bonus. Plus, recently I have been wearing white or cream shoes and these have been a disaster on a night out, especially in the toon where it seems impossible to go out without your poor shoes being utterly ruined, so these would save me the pain! 

7. Pretty little things- Amelie coral mesh insert dress. £22 I really like the style of this mesh dress and also the colour, the coral is a perfect shade for the summer and I think this would look great with a tan!

8. Inthestyle- Lauren Pope Mottled print zip skirt £26.99

and print crop top £17.99 I've been eyeing up this two piece ever since I saw Lauren Pope's collection. Co-ords have been a huge fashion hit this summer and I feel this one would also take you into Autumn as the colour is very versatile and I think you could style this in a number of ways.I am a huge fan of monochrome and the pattern is a little bit different which I love.  

As you can tell there is a bit of a colour scheme going on with Pink and Black, but pink is my favourite colour and black is just a great colour to wear, so flattering and also perfect to style. I just wish I had endless amounts money,(don't we all) so I could buy everything on this list. 

Hope you enjoyed this post!
