My top three favourite lipsticks!

Hello lovelies! How are you doing?

I have three other Essence items to review but I thought that it would be nice to give it a break and upload them later, after all, too many reviews of thesame brand can get a little boring.

 

Today I'm going to show you my top three favourite lipsticks. They are probably not what you'd expect or what everyone would wear, but it's a matter of love it or hate it. I love it, that's for sure.

 

There's only one lipstick in this top three that's not high end and that's my red lipstick, it's by Kate Moss for Rimmel London and it's in the colour "111 Kiss Of Life" (on the right in the picture). I'm about to get another one of the Kate Moss lipsticks, I am obsessed with them! Not only do I like the packaging, the pigmentation is outstandig! I was actually surprised by how good it was! Rimmel really keeps on coming with amazing products lately; Rimmel, I love you!

With "Kiss of life" on my lips!

The other two lipsticks that I have are high end lipsticks. They're actually the ony two high end products I have in my collection. The purple lipstick is by Estée Lauder, it's a matte lipstick and it's called "Violet Crush". I saw a review on another blog just a couple of days before I got this one and it looked so good on the blogger that I got it as well! I thought it would be too crazy, but people have been a lot more positive about it than I had expected!  

Wearing "Violet Crush"

The one in the middle is by YSL, it's the Volupté Sheer Candy Glossy Balm and this was actually my first high end purchase! At the time I wanted to play "safe" with the colour so I just got a lip balm. I've been quite afraid to use it the first months after getting it, because I didn't want to use it up rightaway. Haha, how silly, but still, I have this with all of my most beautiful/most loved products. Beauty blogger obsessions?

 I might get a fushia coloured lipstick by YSL as well, I love it!

Also, look at the packaging... Oh my ....
The packaging just screams "luxury" and I'm the kind of girl who really likes a product that looks nice. Well, I guess we all love products that look amazing, right?

Which lipsticks are your favourites?

November Favourites!

Hello everyone! We've been December for a while so I wanted to do a post on my favourites of November. In November I tried out a lot of things, I emptied a lot of products and I loved a lot of products! I'm going to show them now.

The first thing is my Mega volume black smoke mascara by L'oréal. This came in my October Deauty box and made me so happy! I was running out of other mascara and I actually wanted to try one by L'oréal so it was the perfect timing! Lovely product! I really enjoy using it!
This mascara is extreme black and seperates my lashes perfectly. It also makes my lashes very long!

Another product that came in my October Deauty box! The Kiehl's lipbalm. I think that I'm going to empty it soon if I keep on using it as much as I do now. I really can't help it, it's an amazing product! So moisturizing, not sticky, just perfect!

Two palettes by Essence that I've been wearing and loving! The first one (above) is a palette with four neutral colours called "To die for" and the second palette (below) is from the Sun Club collection. It's in "02 long beach". Lovely fall colours! The pigmentation is great! They were both $3.91.
Super affordable!

 

This blush below, called "Apricot smoothie" was a gift from my friend, a beauty lover like me. I love how there's a red, shimmery part and a more orange toned part. I love blush because I'm pale myself, especially in winter, so this product is really one of my favourite products of these last couple of months. Also, I have a thing for cute names, and this one is so lovely! I like to use a little bit because the colours are quite bright, but if you wanted to, you could build up the intensity.

 

Well, well, well. You shouldn't be too surprised to see the YSL volupté sheer candy glossy balm in this post. Ever since getting it, back in September, I've been using and loving this. Expensive, but so worth the money. I love the packaging by the way! (Click here to read more about this product).

Another lipproduct! This jar filled with strawberry scented nourishing lipbalm is by Yves Rocher. I let my sister convince me to bring this home. Holy moly, that is one of the most expensive lipbalms I've ever got (basically because I normally just get the cheap drugstore ones- they work just fine). But okay, it's worth the price. Oh, and also, don't count on finishing this jar in a month, it'll take a lot longer, trust me!

Recently I had an acne break out so I was so so happy I had this allround concealer palette by Catrice to help me hide the blemishes!
This one comes with a green to conceal rednesses, a pink to conceal dark circles under your eyes and three shades of brown. You could mix the colours to get the shade of your skintone. This palette is a good buy because it costs a lot less than buying five different single concealers. Also, like all the other Catrice products, you can count on quality.

 

And last but not least: "Basic instinct" eyeshadow by New York Color (NYC). I use this as a highlighter and god, it is such a lovely colour! 

 

October Favies! ♥

Hello everyone, happy Tuesday!
I know I'm a little late with this post but today I wanted to write about the products I loved and used a lot in October.

 

  

This first product is a mascara. I'm very picky when it comes to mascara's because I hate spending money on one when you can't even notice it. This is the L'oréal Mega Smoky Black (Volume 24h) mascara. It came in my October Deauty box. I was pretty excited to try it out because a lot of my favourite mascaras are often by L'oréal or Maybelline. So I was kind of expecting this to be a good product and it didn't let me down for sure. I have days that I only wear mascara and I get compliments on how long my lashes look.

Another product from the October Deauty box! I had never tried this lipbalm by Kiehl's before, in fact, I had never even used a lipbalm in a tube. But I decided to try it out because I was pretty curious, and also since it's getting cold, I could use some lipbalm every once in a while. Let's just say that I don't want to apply it because I'm afraid it's going to get empty. This lipbalm is very smooth and moisturizing. Also, I personally like how it looks on my lips, it's like I'm wearing a clear lipgloss.

This YSL Volupté Sheer Candy Gloss Balm was my first high end beauty product I ever purchased. I got it somewhere in September, I believe (or maybe it was at the end of August). First of all, I love how the lipstick looks. I already feel pretty when I look at it! Also, this glossy balm is very moisturizing, it's great to wear on a daily basis and you could build up the intensity of the colour (so if you don't like really bright lipstick or lipglosses, you could just put on one or two layers). Lovely!

Aaah, this blush by Catrice! I can't say anything negative about it! I love it so, so much! I did a post on it yesterday, so click here if you want to read it! (It's a lot more detailed) 

This strawberry scented lipbalm by Yves Rocher is absolutely amazing! I love the smell, I love the colour, I love the product! Let me warn you, I didn't think I'd ever spend a lot of money on a lipbalm and after getting this I was regretting it already, but when I started using this I really fell in love with it after all.
(Oh and I don't mean it was like $50, I just mean that compared to my other lipbalms, this was probably the most expensive.) I also have a new raspberry scented lipbalm, again by Yves Rocher. I haven't opened that one. It looks a lot more pink than this one, almost like a Barbie pink!

In this picture, you see two lipsticks by Catrice. Actually the one on the left is my favourite one for the moment. I've been using it for a really long time now, it's a hot pink/ red lipstick that I absolutely love! It's called "Pink me up". Maybe not for everyone, because I'm pretty much the only one wearing hot pink and red lipstick to school, but oh well.
It would also look great if you were putting it on before going out!

My favourite fall palette! The Essence sun club palette called "02 Long Beach". This is the palette with more neutral colours, there's also another one that holds a lot of bright and shimmery colours. I recently wrote a post on this palette.

Another Essence palette! I think it's pretty obvious that I like Essence for their eyeshadows! This quattro was probably one of the most used palettes in October. I might have used it more than the Sun Club palette!
I love this palette because it holds four neutral colours that look good on every skintone, so no matter if you are pale or a little darker, these colours will probably look great on you! The pigmentation is good, it's easy to apply and as always, it is cheap. This palette is called "To Die For". It's one of my favourite neutral makeup palettes ever.

Let me know what you liked last month!
Thanks for reading!
