L’Oreal Rouge Caresse lipsticks

 

Hello my lovely readers today I’m doing a quick review on the L’Oreal Rouge Caresse lipsticks in the shades Fashionist Pink and Cheeky Magenta. First of all the packaging looks and feels more expensive that it actually is, and for the price of £7.99 I think there fantastic quality. There are 10 shades available ranging from nudes, pinks, peaches, purples and reds and the formula is a mix between a balm and a lightweight gel. L’Oreal Rouge Caresse lipsticks have a soft velvety texture that glides on the lips leaving them with a subtle tint and a glossy finish. I’ve been wearing these lipsticks a lot this summer because they are easy to wear and are very moisturising. They last on my lips for a good two hours before starting to fade, but the colour is still noticeable, and provides much more coverage that a gloss but not as much as a lipstick.

Wearing Lipsticks 

I’m much more of a bold coloured lipstick wearer, but there are many times I just want quick splash of colour and these lipsticks are perfect for those times. I don’t need to use a lipliner with these lipsticks as they are the kind of lipsticks you can apply without a mirror. All in all I love these lipsticks and I’m so glad I purchased them, now my red lipsticks can have a day off.

Loving Lately

The heat is here and it’s been time to tone down my make-up. I recently bought L’Oreal’s True Match Foundation in Rose Ivory because it was the first foundation I ever used, so I was curious to see what I thought of it seven years later. In all honestly I was a little disappointed but I’ve put it to good use by using it on my legs to mask out little imperfections and it works brilliantly. I received Sleeks Pout Paints in 161 Minx & 154 Mauve Over in this month’s Glossybox and I’ve been wearing them ever since. The shades are perfect summer colours for me, a peachy nude shade and a hot purple/pink shade, they are made to be mixed but I like to be bold. They are best to be applied with a lip brush and they give a glossy full coverage lip. Lasting time is pretty good but nothing to rave about as the colour wears off in the inner part of the lips, leaving a bold outline. Even so I still love these lip paints and I really want to try other shades. Illamasqua Concealer 115 My all round favourite concealer right now, because it’s so smooth and creamy and covers up all my blemishes as well as hiding dark circles. The only niggle I have is it chips the nail polish on my thumb nail because of how the compact opens. Avons Eye Shadow Primer Wow I love this stuff and I think this is a dupe for Lime Crime Eye Shadow Helper, it has the same consistency and does exactly the same thing in exactly the same way but a lot cheaper. Sadly Avon is going to discontinue it!! Avons SuperShock Gel Eyeliner in Flash is a really pretty pearl/pink eyeliner that I’ve been using in the inner corners of my eye, giving a wide awake look that I just love. Its long lasting but Avon are also discontinuing this too, so I’m not going to ramble about it.

Drugstore Haul

Hello lovelies, I hope you’re all having a lovely evening. About a month ago I had a huge clear out and I was shocked at the amount of beauty products I own, so that’s why I haven’t done a Haul post for a while. But being me I decided to treat myself, just a little the other day. So this is what I bought.

Barry M Gelly Nail Paint in Blue Grape & Lyche I’m a fan of the Barry M Nail polish’s but hadn’t yet had the chance to try the Gelly polishes so I decided to pick some up to try. I painted my nails the shade Blue Grape later that day and I have to say I LOVE the formula, it’s easier to apply, super shiny and seems to be long lasting. I will be trying out more shades soon. Barry M Nail Art Pen I picked this up because I really wanted to give it ago to see how well it works, If all goes well I will try other shades. L'Oreal Lipstick Rouge Caresse Cheeky Magenta I already have one of the Caresse Lipsticks in Fashionist Pink which I’ve been wearing a lot this summer. They give a tint to the lips and are very moisturising; I like these lipsticks because they are like tinted lip balm and perfect to keep the lips hydrated in warm weather. MUA Intense Colour Eyeliner Lovely Lilac I’ve been looking for a lilac eyeliner to create a look I have in mind. The sales assistant recommended this to me and I was wowed by the color pay off and the effect it gave. Glamour & Lash Studio False No real reason for buying these lashes, I just always seem to pick them up when I’m shopping. 

Single Synthetic Hair Extensions in Pink, Black and Purple I buy these from time to time because I like to add a bit of colour to my wigs for make-up looks. They are extremely low quality but are perfect for what I used them for. 

Freederm Overnight Clearing Serum I decided I could no longer use the night product I had been using because I really didn’t like it nor did it do anything for me. I choose this product on whim, I’ve never used any of the Freederm products before so I’m hoping this works for me. Johnsons gentle eye make-up remover I’d just used up the last of my make-up remover and fancied a change, my friend recommended me this one, and I’m so pleased she did. I used this the other day when I had heavy eye make-up on and it removed everything superbly, I will be buying this again once I run out. Nail The Habit I have a gross habit of biting the skin around my cuticles; it’s something I’ve done for as long as I can remember. Hopefully this product will help me beat the habit.
