Pucker Up: Edition 3

Hello everyone!

-

I am bringing to you the final edition of 'Pucker Up' today the lipstick and lipgloss series that I have been posting for the past 2 days. If you missed any of the editions you can look below this post and scroll down or click on the link to the post directly from my g+ page which is linked to the g+ picture on the right. Today is the 'lipsticks and glosses I am not brave enough to buy'. There are a lot of these products out there for me and because I am a little scared of colours other than nudes and neutrals but hopefully I will find some lipsticks and glosses that you guys are a little scared to use too!

Revlon Black Cherry is quite a dark colour a little lighter than MAC punk couture, and to be honest a pretty scary colour if your used to nudes and pinks. 

MAC Morange is a colour that has always intrigued me and I might buy it for my holiday's this year but I will definitely be trying this one on in the store first!

MAC Diva is quite a popular colour but people often are unsure whether it suits them or not. I think this one has red undertones unlike the Revlon lipstick which is more brown. 

MAC Punk Couture is a colour that one day I would love to try but probably in winter or autumn when I am feeling the colour a little more.

Kate Moss 010 is a really bright red colour that is one of the most well known colours in the collection. I have worn a red lip before but this one seems a little brighter than others so this will be an experiment much like the Rimmel 084 lipstick that I will have to use when I'm more confident with colour!

Comment the scariest colour you have ever tried below and thank you for reading!

Pucker Up: Edition 1

Hi everyone!

-

Today I am doing edition one of a three edition series - pucker up. In this edition I will be doing a lipstick wishlist type post, in the second edition I will be doing a lip gloss wishlist post and finally I will be doing a third edition on lipsticks I'm not brave enough to buy but would someday love to try. Anyway here are my top lipsticks at the moment from drug store to high end.

-

-

Topshop Ohh La La Lipstick is such a summer colour and would set off a white summer dress so nicely. Topshop is a great upcoming make up brand that I am loving at the moment.

Rimmel Pink Blush Lipstick is one of the nicest pink lipsticks around and Rimmel is such a great drug store brand and has amazing prices for a large range of products.

MAC Creme Cup Lipstick is a colour that has been on my wishlist for a while because you guys know I love my nudes and this one is such a pretty pink toned colour that would make a tan look gorgeous in summer.

Revlon Nude Attitude Matte Lipstick would be my perfect lipstick to finish a natural spring look.

MAC Huggable Lip Colour In Touché is a colour that I haven't tried before but I would love to try it one day because I am getting into reds/oranges at the moment.

Thank you for reading guys! What's your favourite lipstick brand at the moment?

Favourite High End Products Of 2013

Good evening everyone!

-

Well I am going back to school tomorrow so I need to get my make up sorted and whilst looking through there were a few high end products I received this year that I love so I thought I would share them with you guys!

-

If you are a regular reader you will know that I adore this lipstick because it's the very first MAC lipstick I ever brought. I always get comments on this colour when I pull it out my make up bag because the colour really is gorgeous. It's quite a dark pink colour so it doesn't wash you out like most nudes, and it's very subtle when it's on. It isn't that matte however if my lips are flaky (which they rarely are) it can tend to cling a bit but a bit of gloss sorts that out.

(MAC Blankety Lipstick)

 If you saw my haul post you will have seen me mention this blush. I love this blush because the colour is so spring/summer however it also gives a lovely fresh glow in winter too. I would repurchase this over and over again however I do like trying out different colours with blush so I would perhaps try dolly mix next time. The only downfall with this product is you have to apply quite a lot to get a good colour however it is build-able and not cakey at all.

(MAC Stay Pretty Blush)

 This is the only product in this post that isn't MAC! This primer is so amazing and I would recommend to everyone - whatever your skin type. I have quite oily skin but it doesn't at all increase that. It sinks into the skin well and gives me a nice base coat that doesn't make my foundation settle on top of my skin with visible brush marks.

(Clinique Superprimer)

 These paintpots are my new favourite thing! I adore this product because unlike other cream products I have tried it is blendable and buildable however it maintains a beautiful colour. I would repurchase this very colour because it is so beautiful however I don't know if I would apply one colour paintpot then another colour paintpot over the top because I think they would mix quite a bit creating a bit of a strange colour but as a base with a powder eye shadow as well they are great.

(MAC Paintpot In Bare Study)

 Finally another one of my Christmas presents. I pretty much liked my Rimmel Stay Matte powder however with finding my skin getting more and more oily since using the much more fluid Rimmel Match Perfection foundation I wanted a better coverage powder. This powder gives amazing coverage and I think in a day I might re-apply this product about twice which is really good seeing as my previous powder would need about four applications a day.

(MAC Studio Fix Powder)

So comment your guys favourite high end product of 2013! I have just loved MAC in 2013 and probably will increase my collection this year. Thank you for reading!

Love Claudia

5 Favourite Drugstore Products Of 2013

Hola everyone!

-

This post has been really hard for me to think what products to feature because as I am getting older my parents buy a lot less make up for me and as I am a teenager I don't have that much money for myself, so I find myself shopping for more and more drugstore products. By the way in the title I don't mean products released in 2013, I mean products that I found out about, purchased and used in 2013. Well enough rambling, let's get started!

-

I went shopping for a drugstore foundation after finding I had almost used up all of my No7 Beautifully Matte foundation and I ended up with this. To be honest, first off I wasn't a fan, but as I got used to using this foundation I actually really liked it and it was really easy to blend because it's so fluid. It gives really good coverage and it is also pretty inexpensive at around £7.

(Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation Shade 2)

 If you guys saw one of my very first reviews you will know that I love this concealer. Because I had used poor coverage ones before this concealer seemed incredible! I know everyone loves the Collection concealer but I really can't seem to find a colour to suit me, but this colour is perfect. Sure you have to re-apply sometimes but it blends easily and smoothly and doesn't crease.

(Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer Shade 1)

 After getting my hair cut and coloured (see 'New Hair!' post) I found that red/wine coloured lipstick suited me a lot more and I found this lipstick at the bottom of the pile as I always thought I was too bright and daring before, however now I love this lipstick! I think it's such a pretty colour and it also has a little bit of glitter in it so you don't really need a lipgloss over the top. (Rimmel Lipstick 010)

 I never could apply liquid liner or gel liner because I found that liquid liner would be too tricky and gel liner would stick and crease, however this marker style liner is really simple to apply and gives great precision. I still don't do winged liner that often but I do apply a gradual line on my top lash line.

(No7 Stay Precise Liner) 

 I'm not really sure if you would call these drugstore products but these are my favourite brushes of all time! Left to right - Powder Brush, Stippling Brush and Shading Brush. I have now literally ran out of space in the jar I store my brushes in! The brush from this brand I want next are is the brush that Tanya Burr uses for her highlighter!
