6 Lipsticks: For Spring

- I may or may not be guilty of going overboard on the Spring theme -

I have so many lipsticks in my collection that I thought I should make use of them all some how by giving them some love on my blog. What better way to let them know I appreciate them despite not wearing them often enough? Am I really personifying my lipsticks? Oh dear.. 

ANYWAY today I'd like to share with you 6 lipsticks from my collection that are perfect for wear throughout Spring 2014. 

As you can see I have chosen a range of bright Orange-y Reds & Pinks. These colours are really on trend this year - it's all about the bright lip and the orangier (is that a word? I think not) the better! Though sadly I don't own or suit many orange shades. 

Lets get the obvious over and done with. MAC Morange is the perfect orange toned red creme sheen lipstick that suits most if not all skin tones and has fantastic staying power. I like this a lot and as it is the nearest to full on orange I have, I'm sure this will be making an appearance a lot these coming months. Find it here on the MAC website for £15. 

This Zafi lipstick (which I'm not sure but from swatches online I believe to be shade 1645) was a super cheap buy from a random shop in Scotland. It is a pretty coral shade with a creamy formula. It is not at all drying and very flattering. Find it for £1.25 here. 

It is no secret that I am a fan of CK lipsticks. They are cheap, there is a huge range of colours and I love the formula. This beautiful red is a perfect transitional shade for Winter/Spring. I think it will suit all skin tones though the colour pay look slightly deeper on darker lips. Find it in it's new even better packaging on Amazon here for £3.79. 

Now onto the MUA lipsticks, of which I own a LOT. This beautiful bright pink is shade 11. It is ideal for Spring & Summer. Bright, light and oh so flirtatious. It's £1 in Superdrug.

MUA shade 3 is a lovely pink peachy orange colour. It is subtle and flattering on most skin tones yet the perfect beach look colour. Do you get what I mean or am I making no sense? I just really like this lipstick in S/S. 

Finally, one of my favourites is MUA shade 13. It is the perfect bright red, enough said!

I know half of this post was MUA but I just love how cheap they are yet such good quality - creamy and moisturising and a great colour range. A dream for us beauty bloggers, eh?

Which lipsticks will you be sporting through Spring?

Until next time

WOMF - Spring Edition

Hello lovelies

2014 is moving fast, as February is fast drawing to an end we enter Spring and so I took Sunday's beautiful weather as an opportunity to get outside and was inspired to do a What's On My Face - Spring Edition. Basically I'm going to share with you a pretty, feminine makeup look I think will be my 'go-to' this Spring. 

For base I'm using my Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation and concealer combo because I love the dewy, awake affect it gives my skin and how brightening the concealer is under my eyes. To set, I use my Rimmel Stay Matte powder. A win for Rimmel this Spring! 

To contour (a must have step for me) I'm using my Bourjois chocolate bronzer to add even more shimmery Spring fun and on the cheeks my BRIGHT and cheerful Flamingo blush from Sleek. A little goes a long way with this product!

On my eyes, as a base I'm using my favourite from the Maybelline 24 hour Colour Tattoo collection, 'Pink Gold' beneath anything from my Naked 3 palette (I like to mix it up on a day to day basis) which has beautiful rose gold shades perfect for Spring time.

Maybe on top of the shadow I'll add a sprinkle of Sleek eye dust in Innocence. This product just brightens up any look and adds some glamour. Just what a girl needs in her life when the sunshine finally starts to show its face!

Finally, to match the blush, I'm using my Bourjois Colour boost lip crayon in Red Sunshine on the lips for the full on pink, spring look! Yipee. I told you it would be feminine and pretty. This swatch doesn't really do it justice, take a look for yourself at the product here. 

So that's what I'm wearing this Spring, what about you? Do you have a go to look for the coming season? Is pretty and pink your thing or not so much? 

Until next time
