A LIP BIT OBSESSED

For those who know me, know I did not use to wear anything on my lips other than vaseline I was more focused on my eyes, and black liquid eyeliner (still a fave). This time last year I had ONE lip crayon, 'The Redder the Better' it was a good product as I could wear it lightly or as a deep bright red. 
I don't think I was really into lip products as I always thought  when looking in the mirror I just looked daft, anyone else? 
But now I'm not too fussed - I think I look okay.

I started looking at lipsticks and decided it'd be good to have a different range of lip colours. It started off just wanting a nude and the purchases just got darker and darker. I personally think that the darker, redy/berry tone colours suit me alot more.

I mean, my collection is still extremely small and pretty rubbish compared to so many people... don't judge (haha) - its gonna take a while to build but at least I now have a range of colours to choose from.

L-R | Rimmel 107, Revlon 477, Rimmel 128, Rimmel 077, Rimmel 38

Lots of Rimmel as you can tell, I really love it at the moment and definitely a go to favourite brand, everytime I'm in my local drugstore I have to go and have a look at the lipstick stands to see what I could be purchasing next. I just find it so strange how this time last year I was't interested and now I can't get enough and want to grow my collection.

My most worn at the moment is Rimmel 128 as its fits well for this time of year but I'm trying to mix it up daily. 

I'm not sure how spring/summer will go when the brighter colours become more popular as its just not me, but hey we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. 

I purchased Rimmel 107 today - here is a silly picture of me trying it out :)

Do you have any recommendations of any lipsticks I can look at purchasing?
I just can't get enough of lipsticks and eyeshadows at the moment, really loving going out looking and seeing whats next on my 'to buy' list :)

Peace Out xx

CURRENT FAVOURITE EYESHADOW

bad swatching skills haha

MAKEUP REVOLUTION- FLAWLESS ULTRA EYESHADOWS - £8

To those who have been reading this blog will see how much I have raved about this eyeshadow palette recently.
A real little star buy.
I really am loving it at the moment! I don't own a massive collection of eyeshadows but this is still my go-to everyday fave, definitely the first one I pick up! I purchased this because I was wanting a palette with more autumny/winter colours in and this was just the perfect fit- can you see all those coppery golds? The most used ones of course. There is a range of shimmer and matte shades but I mainly use the shimmery ones, I just love abit of Glitz at this time of year.

SWATCHED (top-bottom)

Buff, Universal, Red Night, Gold Digger, GreenStars, Silver Smoke and Darkest Shimmer.

All shimmer shades of course, most of these I've used- some I haven't yet but still love all the same. I really love the consistency of these, really good and so easily blend-able to create many different looks. I find the more shimmery shades a little more creamy (if thats the right word) but it still goes on so well and you can get away with just using the one shade. I find using just Copper Shimmer or Darkest Shimmer on there own really make my eyes look a little more green and stand out-ish.

I really love an eyeshadow palette where you can use it so freely and create a range of different looks, which I feel I can do this - perfect for this time of year. The more gold tones will definitely be carrying me through to christmas.
see previous post here for some 'looks'

Next time I'm in my local shopping centre make-up shopping, I'll be going in to have a look at the other palettes Makeup Revolution have because well...why not? Any recommendations?

Do you own one of these palettes, whats your favourite shade?
