Revlon UltraHD Matte Lip Colour - Review

For some time now I have been really into liquid lipsticks, especially matte as this is the big trend at the minute and being a make-up lover, I have to jump on the band wagon and embrace it. So when I seen that Revlon had released a new lip product, I had to get my hands on them and I'm so glad I did.

These retail for £8.99 each and they have 7 shades - as Revlon was on offer in Boots for 3 for 2 I decided to only picked up 3 of my favourite shades.

The packaging of these products is lovely - its a frosted glass bottle with silver detailing so it looks and feels like very good quality. 

The product itself is a dream, it has a slight sweet scent which I love, the formula is very moisturising and velvety - even when it dries to a matte finish, it doesn't dry out my lips or make them uncomfortable which is a big plus. It also doesn't go patchy or rub off around the inside of my mouth which is great, and it lasts all day/night long! The colour payoff is amazing also, with one swipe you get a very opaque colour so this will last me a very long time.

Overall, I think this product is great and as it's from the drugstore, its widely available and affordable so go check it out! :)

Spring/Summer Makeup Shopping

So I may have gotten a little excited when I got paid.... I have been dying to get some new makeup and with lack of money rolling in - you can be well assured that when I got a decent amount, I may have went a little overboard. But ah well, it's done now :)

I picked up quite a few things from Superdrug as they were having a 3 for 2 on all of their makeup - and offers just ruin my bank account. But I picked up 3 of the single eyeshadows from Revlon, a Rouge Edition Velvet liquid lipstick from Bourjois, Makeup Revolution Setting spray and blush, a Barry M contour kit and two lottie london make up brushes

I then picked up two of the Tanya Burr lip glosses from Gordon's Chemist 

And finally, I got the most amazing, perfect, clean Spring/Summer bag ever! I got this from Newlook and it is amazing! Its rucksack and it's mine <3

Revlon Lip Butters

I absolutely adore Revlon Lip Butters – although to be fair it took me a while to actually get into them. I bought my first one a way last year and it was in the shade Cupcake 055, and it didn’t really do me any favours – it didn’t flatter my skin tone and made my teeth look more on the yellow side which is not flattering. But the past month or so, I have really been loving them and I have bought 6 shades in total so far, which are (from left to right) Crème Brulee 095, Peach Parfait 025, Strawberry Shortcake 080, Macaroon 096, Berry Smoothie 050 and Candy Apple 035.I love everything about these products, the packaging – it’s simple but effective, the texture is incredibly smooth and moisturising, the colour payoff is brilliant and buildable, even the smell is good and for the price, they’re hard to beat!

I would highly recommend these, if you haven't tried them already!

MIA and Shopping

I'm going to apologise for being so MIA lately, I've been so busy with tech everyday and working nights that I haven't had time to properly sit down and do a post - granted I don't really have the time at the minute to either, but I don't want to leave you guys hanging.

Plus... I have been doing quite a bit of shopping this past month - like, a lot. Especially in Boots and Superdrug... I'm addicted. So I thought I would share with you the items I have purchsed in the past few weeks, beauty and non beauty. 

 I intend to do a blog post about the make-up items quite soon and I'll obviously be going into a lot more detail as well so keep an eye out :)

First Impression - Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Really Red 006

This is the perfect, snow white shade, it's probably the most perfect red lipstick I own, it's absoloutely gorgeous, and it's matte which I also love, I actually don't own very many matte lipsticks but considering how beautiful this one is, I'm definately going to invest in more from this line. 

I love this lipstick, not only for the colour, but because of the fact that even though it's matte, it doesn't accentuate my dry lips, it doesnt make them look dry or make the dryness stand out and it doesn't make my lips feel dry and that's incredible. The lasting power is actually really good as well, at least a good few hours before I have to reapply and that's inbetween eating and drinking etc.
I also love the packaging, it's not very big so I can carry it around no bother, I also love the colour scheme, you can't go wrong with black and gold.

Overall, this is a holy grail product and I intend to purchase more of these :)

Small Haul

My intial plan when I went into town was to buy a new lipstick, just one... but my plan failed. With help from my boyfriend, who egged me on to buy things, I may have bought too much. The shops I bought from were Superdrug, Boots, TkMaxx and Poundland, we'll start with Poundland and work our way back. 

The reason I went to Poundland was because I really wanted a glass mug for the likes of hot chocolate and smoothies etc. and I seen this... yes it is a classic beer mug, but for only being £1, I had to get it. I will be using it for smoothies and what not because it is really quite awesome. I love it

Next I went to TkMaxx, I love there wee storage boxes and as I'm a huge book lover, when I seen these storage boxes I just had to get them, plus they were really inexpensive. The smaller one, Paris, was only £3.99 and I'll be using this to keep my passport and house kets etc. in. The larger one, Italy, was £4.99 and I'll be using that to store some of my make-up

And lastly I went to Superdrug and Boots. Initially, like I said before I just wanted to buy a new lipstick, so I went to Superdrug because they usually have really good offers, unfortunately I didn't see any, which sucked, but then I went over to Sleek and seen that their Lipsticks are only £4.99! I was really surprised and had to get one. I then went over to Collection and looked at their lip pencils and seen they have a really nice plum shade, which I've wanted for ages, and for only £2.99  had to get it. 

From Boots I got two Revlon lip products because they had an offer on, two lip or nail products for £10, and as I've been eyeing up their moisture stains, I had to get one and then I seen a really lovely matte red lipticks which would be perfect for autumn/winter.
