Review: ROUGE COCO HYDRATING CRÈME LIP COLOUR

Apr 9 13 under Beauty, Lips, Makeup | Leave a comment

I’m a sucker for packaging and Chanel really know how to package their makeup. The luxurious black and gold packaging get’s me every time. It’s definitely a lippie I am proud to show off in public

The texture is super smooth and very pigmented, I don’t have to apply it over and over to get the deep colour I want. Of course a few layers will give you a really intense colour and coverage but whats great about this lippie is that one swoosh is saturated enough. The finish is beautifully creamy with a healthy almost glossy look, mine lastED about 3-4 hours before needed a slight touch up. Another great feature to this lippie is the stain it leaves behind, I have actually worn this lipstick and forgot it at home and have topped up the stain with a little bit of carmex and it looks amazing.

ROUGE COCO HYDRATING CRÈME LIP COLOUR in shade 53 – £24.00 available at most beauty counters.

Cheek colour in ‘Narcissist’ £45

Eyeshadow Quad in ‘Emerald Lust’ £62

They’re just too pretty, I cannot bring myself to use them, the thought of the TF logo disappearing on the ‘Narcissist’ blush kills me. Tom Ford makeup fans talk to me, how do you bring yourself to use this beautiful makeup?

Clinique: Quickliner For Eyes Intense

Feb 5 13 under Beauty, Makeup, Review | Leave a comment

Clinique Quickliner For Eyes Intense in: ‘intense ebony’ and ‘intense midnight’ £14 each

These eyeliners are my complete faves atm.. the lasting power of these is crazy.. once applied they DO NOT BUDGE. They come with a smudger on the end, I would advise you use it asap after applying the liner if you’re going for that smokey eye look because as soon as you let the liner dry for more than 20 secs its not moving let alone smudging.

Have you tried Intense quick liner by Clinique, what are your thoughts?

REVIEW: Jemma Kidd In Vogue Perfect Blush, 02 South Beach

May 23 12 under Beauty, Makeup | Leave a comment

I’m really impressed with the ‘Jemma Kidd In Vogue Perfect Blush, (02 South Beach)’, It’s quite difficult to find a bronzer/ bronzer blush that is light enough and not overly orange. As you can see from the image above this Jemma Kidd blush has little blocks of various different colours making up a great combination for the perfect glow.

The block includes a Biege shimmer- esque shade which really makes cheek bones pop, I also love the pinkish colour which really does tone down the orange hues.

The Jemma Kidd In Vogue Perfect Blush gets a fabulous thumbs up from me and priced at £12.00, I think its a complete beauty steal!

Have you tried any Jemma Kidd makeup products, if so which are your faves?
