Review on the Kate Moss lipsticks

If you ask anyone I know they will tell you that my favourite makeup product is lipstick. I just love adding that extra colour to my lips, and to me it finishes my makeup look off. So I really wanted to find a good high street brand that do good lipstick for an affordable price, and I found it... Rimmel London, Kate Moss Lipstick Range.

One thing that I love about them is their colour range, they have pinks from fluorescent pink to a subtle pink, Reds, pinky-reds and a few nudes.

I personally think nude doesn't suit me as I have quiet dark hair and feel it washes me out a bit so I go for colour rather than nude. However, if you are one to go to nude I would recommend you go for the lasting finish Kate Moss lipsticks (The black packaging ones) as there are more off choice as in the matte Kate Moss lipstick range (the red ones) there is only one, 113.

This is quiet a light colour, and if you are a bit scared of applying lipstick then I think this is really good choice as it adds colour to your lips but you can build it up if you want to. I also found it quiet easy to work with. I would recommend this if you are starting out your makeup kit and looking for a good lipstick which is affordable.

This colour lipstick is amazing, if you are new to lipstick I would say not to go for this colour yet as it is such a bold colour. It will look amazing on a night out or just a family party as I think this is a very sophisticated colour. This colour will look amazing throughout autumn/winter/christmas time as I think it is quiet a festive colour.

This is my favourite colour as it looks quiet red but when applied to the lips its a pinky-red kind of colour, it looks SO amazing. This can be worn to work, at home, a party or a family party. You can get so much wear out of this lipstick which is another reason why I love it.

 This is a vibrant cherry red, I would say this is lipstick will make anybody look at your lips as it is quiet bright so if you're not a fan off bright lipsticks then this one is not for you. I think this colour is quiet summery. 

To sum up...

Drying? - I personally think the matte Lipstick range is slightly drying but if you take good care of your lips (use a lip balm) then they should be alright, or even if you put a bit of lip balm on before you put the lipstick on or on top of the lipstick. It shouldn't put you off buying it though. The Lasting Finish range is more hydrating.

Price - Incredible, £5.49 from boots. The colour range is really good, the actual Product its self is amazing, would recommend this lipstick if you're starting your makeup kit especially 05.

How Long it lasts -  I found the matte lipsticks didn't last as long as the Lasting Finish Range. The Lasting finish range claims to last eight hours but I always find I need to top them up every 3 hours. While the matte last for round two hours before they need a bit of a top up. Obviously those times will change depending on what you are doing.

Texture - I love this texture of lipstick, it feels creamy when applying, obviously the matte is less creamy to give it that matte affect.

Packaging -  Simple, but I like it. I especially like the lid as it has the Rimmel crown indented on it.

Pigmentation - Amazing and it lasts for a long time which I think is amazing for a High Street lipstick.

Taste - The lasting finish range has more of a taste to it, which I found very pleasant.

Review on soap & glory

As summer is approaching and many of you are going on holiday, I thought I would do a review on the soap and glory scrub 'em and leave 'em and the righteous butter as both these items can be brought in travel size and would be perfect to bring on holiday. I'm also going to do a review on the hand food, the one I'm reviewing isn't travel size, but they do do it in travel size if you're interested for £2.50.

 Scrub 'em and leave 'em body buff - £2.50

This body scrub smells amazing, not to sweets, it left my legs feeling moisturised but didn't leave my legs feeling greasy, which is always a good thing.

To be honest there was nothing that made this body scrub and different from the rest, it moisturised and left my legs feeling better than they did before. For me it just didn't have the wow factor, this may be because of my skin but I will definitely be on the look out for other body scrubs. If any off you have/know off a good body scrub comment below and I will give it a try.

If you do want to give it a try I would recommend buying it with the righteous butter as I found that was when I got the best results.

Hand Food - £5.00

During the winter my hands can get really dry and painful so I use a thick Nivea cream, but during the summer my hands don't need such a thick cream so thought I would keep the Nivea cream for winter and find another hand cream to use during the summer. This cream is perfect for that as its not so thick but still hydrates them. If your hands are like mine I would recommend his cream as it keeps them hydrated but without using such a thick cream.

This is honestly one of the best hand creams I have ever used, It smells amazing, Hydrates my hands and the next day they feel SO soft! I put this cream on my hands before I go to bed as I'm not touching stuff (laptop, phone etc.) and I'm not washing my hands, so it's just left to sink in.

On the packaging it says 'non-greasy hydration' and I would totally agree with that as you can put it on and then get back to what you were doing previously without thinking you need to wait for the cream to dry. 

The Righteous Butter - £2.50

This has to be one of my favourite smells as it reminds me off my childhood for some reason. You are supposed to use it after your bath but I also use it sometimes before I go to bed as it doesn't take long to dry, which is what I like in a moisturiser. It leaves my skin feeling refreshed and hydrated! I would totally recommend this, as when you are on holiday you are in the sun all day which can make your skin dry so giving it that extra hydration will make your skin look amazing for the rest of your holiday and not looking like leather.

As I said before the smell is one of my favourite smells and it really calms me down for some reason and makes me feel happy, so thats another reason I love to put this on before I go to bed, as who doesn't like going to sleep feeling happy?

This body butter works so well after using the scrub 'em and leave 'em they complement each other perfectly, and would recommend you use them together.

I would totally recommend you buy this for your holiday as it's not expensive and it leaves your skin feeling amazingly hydrated and smooth.

I personally think that the Soap & Glory products make a perfect gift idea, they're not to expensive and they are at a good quality. 

All the Soap & Glory travel items are £2.50 so here is a link to their website:

Haul!

On Saturday I went shopping with my mum, and thought I would show you what I got.

Clothes

All of  the clothes I brought were from H&M

This blouse was £14.99

 I've been wanting a skater skirt for ages but always found they were quite expensive for a skirt, so when I found these in H&M I just couldn't help myself.

These two skirts were £7.99

These two skirts were £7.99

The main reason I was looking for these items was because I was invited to a party with a smart casual dress code and thought this look would fit that perfectly. I wore the black skirt with the blouse tucked in with my hair up with a dark pink lipstick. 

There was a wait for trying on clothes and while waiting I saw this top (picture below) hanging up, and thought I would try it on. I'm so glad I did as it goes really well with leggings, jeans and shorts so it will be perfect for summer!

This top was £7.99

Deodorant, Tangle Teezer and Makeup

Sure - clear diamond

 This is my favourite deodorant, it smells amazing and reminds me of summer every time I put it on,  It's not too harsh on the armpits and lasts for a long time! What more do you want from a deodorant?

Tangle Teezer

My natural hair is wavy, so find it gets really tangled and knotted, so find brushing it really hurts and takes ages. I heard about the Tangle Teezer a while ago, but didn't want to buy it as I didn't really know how well it actually worked, but decided to buy it and it is amazing! It works so well with my hair and it does give me pain free brushing, would totally recommend it!

This was £10.99 from boots

Maybelline Falsies

 I've heard people rave about Maybelline Falsies mascara on YouTube, especially Tanya Burr, so thought I would see how amazing this mascara is. It really is one of the best mascaras I've ever used. The wand is amazing it picks up the right amount of mascara so your eyelashes don't feel heavy. The shape of the wand is perfect for eyelashes as it picks up everyone giving it volume and pushes them up.

Race for Life...

If you live in the UK I'm sure you know of Race for Life, but if you don't it's when you do a sponsored run for cancer research. I've wanted to do it for ages but never got round to do it so, this year I made sure I did. 

My Granddad suffered from cancer, I was about 10 so I didn't really know what was going on but my best friends mum has been diagnosed with cancer and I now know it doesn't just affect the person, it affects everyone close to them. So I did Race for Life for her, my Granddad and all others affected by cancer.

We will find a cure for cancer one day!

The atmosphere was amazing, I didn't really know what to expect but it really did feel like we were all working together to find a cure for cancer.

 Obviously I know cancer affected peoples lives but doing this has shown me how many and I'm glad  I was able to help, even if it was just a little!

Anyone who is suffering from cancer I admire you and your bravery, you're an inspiration to me and millions of people around the world, you may see your self as different but you're not, you're are putting up a fight, some defeat it and some put up a fight but the cancer knocks them down, RIP to those who have lost the battle, but you are truly amazing people & hope you are in a better place know. I admire you and your bravery <3
