Lip Lusting beauty | lips | wishlist

With all the other stuff going on in life recently, I've had absolutely no time for my beloved make up. I've seriously been lucky if I managed yo grab ten minutes mid morning to put something on my face. Now that things are slowly, but surely settling down, we are finally finding somewhat of a routine again. Which means....all the makeup, GET ON MA FACE!!!

With this new found time, I've gone a little cosmetics crazy and I'm dying to go on a bit of a spending spree. Now, of course I have to start with lips. They are my favourite products after all. I'm looking to add a bit of variety into my collection, and try some new brands. You're going to wondering, after I've said that, why I've added MAC products in there; and the truth is, I don't own any!!!  Well, I own one lipstick, and I'm pretty sure it's an internet fake. I've kept it for yeaRs, but never actually used it.

Brands on my radar at the minute are the likes of Gerard Cosmetics. LA Splash (gimme all the lip couturiers please and thank you,) and Essence. I'm also constantly drooling over products from ColourPop. Holy moly, those new ultra matte lip colours are insane!! The moment they hit the UK, you know I'll be all over that.

I feel like I've been out of the makeup loop for soooo long. I don't know what's good at the minute. So I need recommendations guys. Fellow lip product addicts, what do I need in my life.

Lips   L-R  1//2//3//4

Nails L-R 1//2//3//4

Hey beauties, 

This post was meant to go live yesterday, but I'm guessing blogger didn't like me so it's going up today instead. (It's not quite a Wednesday wishlist now.)

After my little shopping trip at the weekend, I've found myself with the shopping bug. I'm trying ever so hard not to spend any more money until next month, but these are just a few of the things I'm wishing I had picked up already. 

I'm finding myself a little addicted to nail polish at the moment. Barry M is my all time favourite, so that is usually the first place I head to. The new Gelly and texture polishes are a definite must for this summer. 

Other than nails, you already know how much of a lips freak I am. I'm always adding to my lips wishlist, and these are just a few that I've been wanting this week. I'm loving the new purple Topshop lipstick and the MAC Viva Glam Nicki 2. So perfect for Summer. 

What are you lusting over at the moment?

Rimmel Kate Matte Lipsticks 101 | 110 | boots | kate | kate moss | lips | lipstick | makeup | matte | orange | pink | red | review | rimmel | swatches | when flowers fall | whenflowersfall

When I heard that Rimmel were bringing out a new range of Kate Moss lipsticks, I knew I had to have a couple. But, when I heard that the new range was entirely matte, I dashed to my nearest Boots right away. 

Luckily for me there was a 3 for 2 offer on, so I ended up picking two of the new range and one shade from the older line. (I'll blog about that one soon.)

First, I picked up shade 101. Surprisingly enough, I don't actually have many soft pinks in my collection and this one caught my attention straight away.

I'd definitely describe this as a soft baby pink with blue undertones. 

The second shade I picked up was 110, a really bold and daring orange red. 

This colour is amazing, but something I wouldn't normally pick out in fear that it would hake my teeth look incredibly yellow. Which, you'll be pleased to know, it doesn't. 

Both lipsticks are ridiculously long wearing. I actually wore shade 110 a lot whilst we were staying in Leeds and I found it even lasted throughout me eating a 3 course meal. It did need a teeny bit of touching up, but if I had left it back at the hotel, it wouldn't have been the end of the world. 

I much prefer a matte lip for the A/W months, and an extra bonus to these lipsticks, is they don't dry out your lips at all. They're actually pretty moisturising.

For £5.49, you cannot go wrong with these lipsticks. I'm now constantly choosing these over any of my others in my pretty large stash. Hopefully I'll be able to get my mitts on the other three shades in the matte collection soon.

MeMeMe Lip Cream in Berry Crush berry | berry crush | blue | lip cream | lip stick | lips | lipstick | mememe | mememe cosmetics | pink | purple | review | whenflowersfall

Hey lovelies!

Today I'm sharing another good from my MeMeMe Groupon Buy. 

This is the gorgeous Berry Crush lip cream. It can be seen worn here.

Now, you all know how much I love a good lippy, and this is most definitely that. The packaging to begin with is gorgeous and simple. 

The lip creams themselves are long lasting and are enriched with shea butter and vitamin E. 

This amazing pink, almost purple shade has a lot of blue undertones. So much so, I think you can actually pick them out in the above two photos. 

When on the lips, the lip cream is moisturising and smooth. Even without lip liner, this product doesn't feather, which means if you are on the go you can re-apply without having to worry about it too much. 

You purchase this product from the MeMeMe website here. Lip Creams sell for £8.50 and you get a nice 4 grams of product.

I will most certainly be purchasing more. :)

Astor Perfect Stay Lip Tint - Nude Plum astor | factory outlet | felt tip | lip colour | lip tint | lips | nude plum | perfect stay | review | tint | whenflowersfall

Hi my loves,

I purchased this lip tint a few weeks ago from my local factory outlet store. 

I only paid £2 for it, so I wasn't expecting miracles. But, this product has nicely surprised me. Application is super easy and you have complete control of the product.

Worn alone, the colour is a little drying on the lips, but this is where the balm on the other end comes in handy. I feel the balm does remove some of the colour though, making it a little less bold and a little more subtle. This I like. 

I found I could get a good 4 hours of wear out of this product before it started to fade. Which if I'm completely honest is a little less than I had expected, but it doesn't bother me too much.

I'm a little dubious as to how long this product will last before drying out. I've never owned a 'felt tip' style lip colour before and I'm interested to see how long it lasts. 

Have you guys ever tried a product like this?

BeautyUK Lipstick - Naughty beautyuk | cosmetics | lips | lipstick | make-up | naughty | red lipstick | review | shade 8 | when flowers fall | whenflowersfall

Hi lovelies! 

I thought it had been way to long since I last did a lipstick post. Haha, not really but I wanted to share my newest purchase with you guys.

This lipstick jumped out at me on a recent trip to Superdrug. I wasn't planning on buying a new lipstick, but I couldn't resist. Under the shops yellow lights the shade of the lipstick looked really orange. But in the photos here it looks far more red. 

The lipstick is very creamy and easy to apply, the colour is really opaque and lasts pretty well. I did a little test and after application it lasted 3 hours or so before a re-application was needed. During these hours I had eaten a meal and drunk a couple of cups of tea. 

Just so you guys can see the true colour, (I'm thinking the lighting whilst taking these photos may have altered it a bit,) I have taken a photo of the BeautyUK lipstick next to MUA shade 13 which I believe to be a true red. 

BeautyUK is on the right and as you can see is a little larger than an MUA lipstick also. 

BeautyUK lipstick retail for £3.49 and I would say they are totally worth the pennies. For a 'drugstore' brand I am really impressed. 

MAC Naked Paris Lipstick cosmetics | lips | lipstick | mac | make up | make-up | naked paris | review | swatch | when flowers fall | whenflowersfall

Hi Lovelies!

I thought I'd share with you one of my favourite lipsticks. 

This is MACs Naked Paris. The lustre lipstick looks so dark in bullet form, it can be a little shocking. 

The colour comes across as a deep brown/purple berry tone and makes the perfect lipstick for any autumnal look.

As you can see from the swatch below, because the lipstick is a lustre, it actually gives a very sheer colour pay off. It's also filled with very fine glitter, which I love, with that addition it gives amazing dimension to your lips. 

The colour is definitely one of those that you have to try before you turn your nose up at it! It's so different on your lips, to what you see in the tube. Honestly, I probably wouldn't have bought this otherwise. 

Has anyone else tried this lipstick, and if so what did you think of it?

Rimmel Vinyl Jelly Lip Liners lip colours | lip liners | lips | pink | red | review | rimmel | swatches | vinyl jelly

Hi Lovelies!

Believe it or not, these are my first ever lip liners. I've never been one for lining my lips, but as I have started to wear brighter lipsticks, I thought I'd best invest in a couple. 

Again, these we from the big sale I found. They were £1.50 for the two, which I thought was a bargain, seeing as I really don't know how much use they are going to get. 

Scarlet is definitely a a soft red, swatched it looks ever so slightly peachy, but I kind of like that. I don't think I'm ever going to be one for very bold lip liners. 

Moreish is a lovely smooth pink. It swatches very light and doesn't quite look like what I imagined when I saw it in pencil form. But never mind, I like it anyway. 

Both pencils are very, very soft and I think with regular use, I could get through these quite quickly. If you can get your mitts on these, I would very much recommend them, especially is you are like me and you don't tend to wear lip liners very often. 

Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick - Fleur-Tatious beauty | bold lips | cosmetics | lips | lipstick | pink lips | red lips | rimmel | sale

Hi lovelies!

I recently purchased this lipstick for a pound!! Yes, one Great British Pound. I found it in the cosmetics sale I have mentioned in previous posts and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the sale is still on when I'm not poor again. 

The first thing that stood out for me was the packaging. Anything bright and purple is likely to catch my eye and I was even more surprised when I didn't hate the shade of lipstick inside. I usually find with sales, that the colours aren't the greatest and are usually the ones that didn't sell so well in the first place.

Now, we all know by now that I love my lipstick. I generally lean towards brights and pinks, but I fell in love with this deep pinky red. It applies opaque and the formula is soft and smooth to apply, so doesn't tug too much on your lips. 

I have to admit, my favourite thing about this lipstick is the name. Fleur-tatious just reminds me of Fleur De Force! I wonder if she knows about this lipstick! 

Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick - Pink Blush cosmetics | lasting finish | lips | lipstick | make up | pink | pink blush | review | rimmel | rimmel lasting finnish | swatch | when flowers fall | whenflowersfall

Hi Lovelies!

I've been on the hunt for a cute pink lipstick to add to my collection, so when I came across this one, I snapped it up right away. 

The shade is a beautiful blue toned pink, it gives an opaque coverage, and brilliant wear!

I will certainly be reaching for this one on a regular basis and I think it'll fast become a favourite of mine.

Calvin Klein Lipstick - Rose Rush calvin | calvin klein | cosmetics | face | klein | lips | lipstick | makeup | review | when flowers fall | whenflowersfall

Hi Lovelies!

Check out this bargain!! I recently found this lipstick for sale for only £2! I'm tempted to go back and get a couple of more shades.

I purchased the colour Rose Rush, a pretty dusky pink. In stick form it looks rather deep and I originally thought it would be quite a powerful colour, but when swatched you can see that it's definitely more soft.

I love the colour on, with the flash of a camera the you can really see the gloss of the lipstick, but without you can see the soft dusky colour. The lipstick wears very well, I didn't need to reapply for a good 4-5 hours after first application and that was only because I had eaten. 

I really can't complain about this lipstick, especially the price I paid for it! I honestly feel like,even if the lipstick was more expensive, I would certainly be purchasing more.

Cargo Cosmetics Lipgloss - Tokyo cargo | glossy | glossybox | lip gloss | lipgloss | lips | new | non sticky | pink | review | smooth | when flowers fall | whenflowersfall

Hi Lovelies,

I received this Cargo Cosmetics lip gloss in the December Glossybox, a full size gloss retails for £10.00 and is available at Cargocosmetics.com. 

This sample is their new formula, which gives a high shine and isn't sticky, which I love in lip glosses. The shade I received was Tokyo which is a very pretty pink, it gives a very good colour pay off and wears ridiculously well.

If you received any of the other shades in your Glossyboxes, please let me know what they were like. I'd be really interested to see them!

EOS Lipbalm - Sweet Mint eos | eos lipbalm | lipbalm | lips | moisturising | review | sphere | usa | when flowers fall | whenflowersfall

Hi Lovelies!

Big news! I lost my EOS virginity! Haha. I've been searching high and low to find one of these little egg shaped beauties, so when I found a reasonably priced one on ebay the other day, I had to buy it! I'm pretty sure most of you will be aware that they're not available in the UK and if they are, I've never seen them.

I've seen them on various online shops, but they generally sell for about £5-ish and I did really want to be spending that much just in case I didn't like it. That price wasn't including postage either. 

I was indulging in some Ebay window shopping the other day when I came across this seller, who has 3 flavours for sale at £3.99 and free postage. I found it quite hard to choose which one I wanted, but picked the sweet mint because you really can't go wrong with that. (Unless you don't like mint.)

EOS stands for 'Evolution Of Smooth' and this product definitely stands by that. I have only been using it a day, actually I'm rather addicted to it now, and my lips feel amazing. I've been suffering a lot recently with chapped lips and this lip balm has sorted that right out!

I visited the EOS website and below is what they had to say about this product. 

" eos lip balm is 95% organic, 100% natural, and paraben and petrolatum free. Packed with antioxidant-rich vitamin E, soothing shea butter and jojoba oil, eos keeps your lips moist, soft and sensationally smooth. "
If you can get your hands on one of these, I really recommend it. I'm going to purchase the other two flavours soon and will be keeping my fingers crossed that they get some of the others in too.
