Favourite | Winter Lip Colours

Hello my lovelies. Today I've decided to do a post containing my favourite lip colours to wear in the Winter. There are a mix of reds and nudes, I notice I start wearing a lot more daring colours in winter compared to summer.

Rimmel Lasting Finish  By Kate | Colour 107 | £5.49

This is one of my all time favorite reds, its a very flattering dark matte red. This lipstick lasts for hours without needing to touch up. Sometimes I will use my MAC lip liner in the colour Cherry with this but most of the time I don't use a liner.

Models Co Party Proof Lipstick | Colour Kitty | £12.00

This is a really nice creamy formula that feels really moisturising on the lips, it's a brown-y Pink-y nude colour. I got this in one of my Birchboxes, it's a really nice everyday lipstick. I tend to grab this one if i'm in a rush as you don't need a mirror to apply it. 

YSL Rouge Pur Couture | Colour 28 rose boheme | £25.00

I love the YSL lipsticks, I am a sucker for pretty packaging but their formula is beautiful as well. The Rouge pur couture collection of lipsticks are very moisturising. This colour is a lovely plum shade with a slight sheen to it.

Tanya Burr Lip Gloss | Colour Afternoon Tea | £4.99 

I first bought this gloss because it was Tanya Burrs and to be honest wasn't expecting it to be great, but after trying it I was pleasantly surprised, it is a lovely formula something you'd expect from a more expensive brand. The colour lasts a good amount of time. This one is one of my favourites it's a lovely nude, a your lips but better sort of colour. I wear this all the time and will definitely be trying some more from her collection. 

Rimmel Apocalips | Colour Big Bang | £6.49

This is a liquid lipstick and this probably has the longest lasting power out of all of these lipsticks, it's a beautiful vibrant red that once on your lips it almost stains them, so you can eat and drink and this stuff won't budge! At £6.49 you can't really go wrong, plus it comes in 13 lovely shades!

Current Everyday Eyeshadows | MAC

Hi Guys! For the past couple of months I've been going through phases with my eye-shadows. I will either use my Urban Decay Naked 3 palette or my MAC shadows. I thought I would show you my favorite MAC shadows for everyday wear.

Vanilla 
Description - a “peachy-ivory with reflects. This is just a really nice matte beige colour. I like to use this under the brow bone.

Naked Lunch
Description - a warm, peach-beige with a frost finish. If I'm having a natural make up day i like this all across the lid. Its the only MAC shadow I've hit pan on and re-purchased!

Shroom
Description - is soft, light beige with a hint of warmth and a lightly frosted finish. I use this colour on the inner corner of my eyes and occasionally i'll use it as a brow bone highlighter.

Era
Description - is a dark beige/ light brown with a champagne sheen. I like to use this through the crease to add a bit more depth.

Wood Winked
Description - Golden bronze colour with a warm orange undertone. I like to use this all over my lid or just through the crease, it has an amazing colour payoff. This colour is great for blue eyes the orange tones really bring out the blue but i think this colour would look great on anyone.

Sable
Description - is a bronze with plum undertones and a frost finish. This is one of my favorite shadows, the shadow is very creamy and easy to blend. The colour is so versatile and has great pigmentation.

NARS Sheer Glow Foundation | Review

Good Evening!

I recently went to London with a friend and whilst there the one thing I wanted to get was Nars Sheer Glow Foundation. I have wanted to try this for a while but there is no counter near me and didn't want to risk choosing a colour online!

Whilst in Harrods, on our last day in London I went to the Nars counter but there was no assistant around so I was unable to get colour matched. Luckily there was a Space.NK opposite Harrods so I went in, the lady that colour matched me was lovely and so helpful! She matched me with the colour Deauville. After using this foundation for about a month I have fallen in love with it.

What Nars Say About The Foundation:

"A glowing, natural radiant finish foundation with sheer and buildable coverage that immaculately evens skin tone. Replete with skincare benefits and the NARS Complexion Brightening Formula, it leaves skin hydrated, more luminous, softer and smoother. Used daily, Sheer Glow Foundation improves the skin's brightness and texture."

This Foundation has no SPF which I personally prefer, especially if your wearing it over the festive season as a no SPF foundation is great for flash photography. I found it looked very natural on the skin but was still a medium/full coverage, you could layer this up to get more coverage but it never goes cake-y and feels really light on the skin. The silky texture makes it really easy to apply and I think it looks really nice if applied with your fingers rather than a brush! I was really impressed with this foundation. I find it a struggle to find foundations that don't cling to my dry patchy skin and this foundation felt very hydrating. It comes in 20 different shades.

There are two downfalls to this product. Number one it doesn't come with a pump. However if this really bothers you then you can get one for £3.00 on the NARS website. Number two is the price it retails at £31 which isn't outrageous for a decent high-end foundation but it is still quite steep!
