A Little Something Extra

You can never go wrong with a red lip in my opinion. If I have to face the outside world and have no idea what to do with my face, I will skip the perfect eyeshadow look to a simple wing and a classic red lip. I own a lot of lip products and I have a fair few red shades from different brands with different formulas. These will be my personal top recommendations for anyone who is looking for a statement red lip. Mac Ruby Woo For anyone who knows anything about the beauty industry, Macs Ruby Woo Retro Matte bullet lipstick is a cult classic. It's a blue based red making it a really versatile shade that suits everyone. I have seen this shade on multiple skin tones with multiple looks, and its safe to say if you haven't found your red shade yet, give this a go. The only downside I would have to say with this particular lipstick is that it's quite drying. I am a massive lover of liquid lipsticks so I can tough out the dryness, however, if this is an issue for you I w...

If you have already read my blog post on my favourite liquid lipstick formulas, you know I love the Jouer Lip Cremes which are their liquid lipstick formula. They go on an airy creamy consistency but dry down to a non-drying matte. Then they released what they now call a lip topper, which has a gloss consistency with very high impact shimmer running through. They don't feel chunky on the lips whatsoever, and after your lips has absorbed the coconut oil that they contain the glitter/shimmer particle stay on your lips giving you a really nice sheen. Some people might find these intimidating, however, when you wear them right they look stunning. I love seeing people who rock the really bold glittery lips as I find them so stunning. I personally can't wait until they release a full blown ruby red lip topper so I can wear it on a night out. However, I do not wear these on my entire lips, even though they are probably considered as nude shade toppers. What I personall...

After months of waiting, I finally have this in my hands. I have been wanting the Kat Von D Alchemist Palette ever since I saw her very first sketches on her Instagram. It has been available in the US since before Christmas and it finally became available in the Uk on the 2nd of May. I had it marked on my calendar but I completely forgot until the 3rd and it was already sold out. A couple of weeks later, however, it became back in stock and I bought it straight away, along with two of her new everlasting liquid lipstick shades, Ophelia and Ludwig.  It states on the Debenhams website that she has been working on the formula for years. From what I can tell this is unlike anything that I know. They are nothing like an ordinary highlight. The shades have a transparent base, however, when the light shines at the swatches the pigmented pearl-like sheen, shows off the colour. This is why it's perfect for your eyes, face and lips as it doesn't apply straight up colou...
