NEW Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation

Last month Rimmel London released their new and improved version of the 'Match Perfection' foundation. I was fortunate enough to get sent this to try and review for you all. I enjoy the original formula as it is light weight on the skin, so I was keen to try this one out!

The product states that is has invisible coverage and promises fresh looking skin all day long.  This new formula differs from the old as it contains light-reflecting & soft focus powders that convey a poreless finish. 

The new Match Perfection is a light weight foundation. It has SPF20 and is made to hydrate the skin and provide a flawless finish. I found the best way for a natural finish is to use a buffing brush. This allows the product to work into the skin, creating a subtle glow and light coverage. The foundation is lovely for everyday wear and great for the summer time. If you're after more coverage, I found applying it with a damp sponge will do the trick without looking caked on. 

This foundation worked well for my skin. It gave off a healthy glow and made my skin look more awake. There are a total of 8 shades in the range and I have "100 Ivory". These are shades:

Unfortunately, the shades in the range are mostly pink based. Meaning that if you have a yellow undertone they may not work so great on your skin. Another downside is that if you are someone who likes a thicker coverage foundation, you probably won't enjoy this one!

Overall, I did like this foundation because it's easy to wear everyday. I truthfully did not see a difference between this formula and the old one except that the new version has more SPF. This foundation will be sweet if you're starting out with make up or want something light for the summer. 

Rimmels' new Match Perfection Foundation retails at $18.95 and you can purchase it at pharmacies and your local supermarket.

Let's talk about LUSH Christmas

It has been far to long since I have talked about LUSH! It is literally one of my favourite stores and Christmas time calls for the best bath products. 

Sadly, I only picked up two things because everything was gone! Although, I will be placing some online orders! The two I picked up were my favourite 'Butter Bear bath bomb' and a newbie "Peeping Santa Bubble Bar".

Butter Bear Bath Bomb: If you've read some of my older posts, you would know that 'Butter Ball' is one of my favourite Lush products. Butter ball in a form of a bear is so damn cute! It's so moisturising on the skin because it contains cocoa butter. The comforting vanilla scent makes you feel so cozy! 

rp: $5.95

Peeping Santa Bubble Bar: This cutie is a new addition to this years Christmas collection. How cute is he! He looks like a strawberry and smells like one too! He contains cocoa butter and soft shea, leaving the skin feeling so soft. I love bubble bars because they create excitement in the bath. - Who wouldn't love bubbles that smell of berries? 

rp $10.95

I could talk about Lush products for days! What's your favourite product from the Christmas range?

Too Faced Le Grand Château

You know when you're having a bad day and need something to cheer you up? For me it includes shopping and shopping for things I probably don't need but still make it's way in my cart. I decided to splurge on an early Christmas present from Mecca Maxima. Too Faced would have to be my favourite high-end make up brand and I could not pass up this purchase. As such I picked up the Too Faced Le Grand Château gift set which includes three palettes and a mini mascara.

My first impression on this gift set was the cutest packaging. All of Too Faced products have the most gorgeous packaging so I was not surprised when I saw this. The gift set is limited edition as it is part of the holiday collection. When you open the box, you see a cute little house that opens to three palettes which include 6 eyeshadows in each and either a bronzer or blush. The eyeshadows are high quality and range from bronzes to purples. The gift set also includes a deluxe mini 'Better Than Sex' mascara which is the perfect touch to the set.

The pink palette includes cool toned eyeshadows. The palette includes 5 shimmer shades and 1 matte shade in an ivory. The shimmers include a peach, pink, champagne, blue and purple. This palette would be a perfect one for the spring time. It also includes a bronzer in the shade 'Jolie', which has a slight orange tone to it. The bronzer is lovely for creating a 'sun kissed' look to the skin.

The blue palette is my favourite out of the three. It includes warm toned eyeshadows with 3 matte shades and 3 shimmers. On the top row are the mattes ranging from a bone colour, light brown and dark brown. The dark brown shade 'La Femme' was sadly quit chalky when swatched so you may have to do a little extra blending.The bottom row include the shimmers which include 2 gorgeous golden shades and a charcoal. The blush, 'Mademoiselle' is also included and is a beautiful baby pink.

The black palette is perfect for a night out and even a great one for those with brown eyes as the purple tones will make your eyes pop! This palette includes 3 mattes and 3 shimmers. The mattes include a pale highlighting shade, a light-pinkish-brown (great description Sara) and a typical black. The shimmers include a bold purple, a light champagne and a black with specs of purple shimmer. I haven't used this palette yet but i'm very keen on playing around with purples, especially Tre's Chic'. A baby doll pink blush is also included. 

Overall, the Too Faced Le Grand Château gift set is a perfect, seasonal gift for a friend, partner or yourself (like let's be real here). It retails at Mecca Maxima for AU$70 and is only available for the holidays!

Have a wonderful day!

2015 November Favourites ♡

Hello my lovelies, November is over and it's officially the festive month. I didn't do a post of last months favourites as I didn't really have any to share and wasn't in the mood.

♡ Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette: Firstly how cute is the packaging! Too Faced products are my favourite and this was my first time trying out the eyeshadows and I love it. There is a mix of mattes and shimmers in the palette. The shades blend out seamlessly and are so pigmented. I did a full review on this palette here. 

♡ Maybelline Hyper Sharp Wing Liner: My all time favourite felt tip eyeliner is the 'Maybelline Master Precise' and I have to say this is even better. This liner is so much easier to use as the thin tip allows for better precision. A cat flick has always been a struggle for a lot of people and this literally saves the trouble. 

♡ Covergirl Smoochies in #Luvu: I've had this lip product for a while now and it's my go to tinted lip balm. The colour is quite similar to Mac's "twig" lipstick. This product moisturises the lips as well as provides a beautiful pink colour. The packaging isn't the most attractive but it's my favourite to wear for school and work.

♡ Neutrogena Hydroboost Eye Roll On: If you're someone who always has tired eyes then this is your life saviour. I struggle with dryness under my eyes and I suffer from a lot of dark colouring. I use this product before I go to bed or in the mornings to hydrate my under eyes. It's makes under eye concealer application a lot easier! Quick tip; put this in your fridge so when used it's cooling.

♡ Sigma F80 Flat Kabuki Brush: It's true when they say this is the best and most popular brush from Sigma. I picked this up quite a while back at a Sigma pop up store. Since then i've been obsessed with it for applying foundation. Buffing brushes are always great for creating a flawless and natural base. This brush blends my foundation in seamlessly and I love it.

Music:

Purpose (whole album) - Justin Bieber

Talk Me Down - Troye Sivan

The One - Kodaline

Tv Shows:

American Horror Story; Hotel - This season of AHS is so interesting. A lot of people have mixed views on it but I love it! It's quite scary and makes me jump.

Scream Queens - This show is a bit of a laugh to kill time. I love Emma Roberts and I love her in this show. Does anyone think they know who the 'red devil' is?

Food:

So Good Dairy Free Ice Cream: Where are my vegan loves at? This is the best ice-cream - well the only dairy free ice cream I've tried. It's low in fat and is perfect as the Sydney weather has been so hot! 

And they are my favourites from the month of November! I can't wait for Christmas! We're in the last month of 2015, let's make it a good one.

Too Faced Chocolate Bar Eyeshadow Palette

Hey lovelies, I received a little money on my birthday so I decided to pick up the Too Faced Chocolate Bar Eyeshadow Palette. I've been wanting this for the longest time as I've heard nothing but great reviews on it. I walked into Mecca Maxima, determined to buy this palette, so I did and now I shall share my thoughts with you.

My first impression of this bad boy was the amazing packaging! The palette is evidently a chocolate bar and it even smells like it - like many of the Too Faced products. The eyeshadows are made with 100% Cocoa Powder which is so cool! I'm a sucker for cute packaging and this definitely was right up my ally.

The palette comes with 16 eyeshadows and 2 can be used as a cheekbone highlight as they are a little larger in the pan. All the shadows are so buttery, soft and easy to blend. The pigmentation is incredible! I think they may be even better than Urban Decay Eyeshadows, which is insane for me to say. The palette includes a mix of matte and shimmer shades. My favourites at the moment are 'black forest truffle' and 'amaretto'. Those two shades compliment each other really well and are perfect for a night out.

The down side to this product is that the names of the eyeshadows are not printed on the actual palette, rather on a plastic sheet that covers them. I'm not too fused over that but I believed Too Faced has improved on that on the latest 'Semi-Sweet Chocolate Bar Palette'. I love all shades in the palette except 'strawberry bon bon', which is a baby pink.

Overall, I really do think it is worth the money if you're looking for a great quality eyeshadow palette. I look forward to playing around with the different shades and creating new make up looks.

Have a wonderful day!

Social Media

Apologies for not posting my November favourites. Truth is, I have been in a lot of mental/emotional distraught and didn't feel motivated enough to ramble on about make up and the highlights of my month. Recently, there has been a blow up on social media since Essena O'Neil called out the fake and dishonesty floating around. This did cause a lot of controversy and opinions on the internet about social media not being real life.

Social media has developed into an arch of our generation. It was always and still is used as a way of communication but it has kind of transformed into expression and creativeness. - Whether that is depicted through youtube videos or Instagram posts. It has also been used as a platform for many young people in speaking up about certain topics or issues that are needed to be addressed. 

I've always looked as social media as the normal thing to do. - I wasn't sure what to do without it as it has become apart of my daily routine. It wasn't until Essena spoke her mind that my mind opened up about the negative effect it can have on an individual. I realised that I looked at my phone literally every few minutes to check what other people were doing instead of focusing on my own life. I had no reason to go on my phone - no one called or texted me. I just went on my phone check my snapchat, twitter, instagram and facebook for NO REASON AT ALL. When you start to notice that it's become something you have to do when you wake up and before you go to sleep, then it becomes a problem. I've always had this thing of worrying about other people's lives and feeling jealous when other people are out with their friends or going different places while i'm at home - it really just makes me feel angry and saddened and I start telling myself that my life sucks because 'Sally' is hanging out with 'Annabel' and I'm alone. Seriously though, why has it become this way?

I love instagram - it's probably my favourite form of social media and I'm able to post the things that are apart of my day. I love admiring other people's photos to, so I can learn new things and see other people's creativity. It's great when you look at it from that perspective. However, it can be really draining. As Essena said, she saw instagram as' the way to fame' and she felt like she needed followers and likes to make herself happy. The strange thing is, I loved Essena's instagram; I felt so jealous of her life and I thought she really did have it all. It wasn't until she opened up about how her photos were 'staged' or she was pretending to be a certain way just for the public eye. That brings up the whole idea of social media not being real because a photo of someone smiling doesn't always mean they are truly happy. This made me question my instagram and start remembering a time where I did post photos that I didn't enjoy taking just to show people that my life isn't bad - when it really was. 

Another big topic was the idea that social media is fake. Essena covered on how majority of big following accounts are paid for posting photos that they are not passionate about. I honestly did not know about this - all I knew was that people get sponsored by brands to promote their products, not so much being paid money for it. There were a bunch of accounts on instagram that I admired and I noticed how some were continuously positing photos in which they were sponsored by brands. I think it's a great thing to work with a company that you really like and share it to the world but it can be quite hard to trust people who are constantly promoting brands when they don't even like the products they advertise. 

I do think social media has it's perks and I guess the way you view it all depends on how much you know about it. My opinions has definitely changed on the whole thing and I want it to make it a challenge to reduce my time spent on social media and enjoy the real world.  Let me know how you feel on this topic!

Have a lovely night.

FEAR.

It's currently October 1st at 10:24am (not anymore). I'm flicking through a bunch of old drafts that I wrote when I was feeling like crap. I came across one called "greatest fear" and remembered a while ago now, when I wrote that post, I was really emotionally unstable - in a way that I looked at the world, myself and the people around me in outrage. I'd have days where I'd be on an emotional high then that would change into a low. At school, I'd have moments where I didn't speak to anyone. I'd seem like I had PMS every single day. I think it was trapped thoughts inside of me.

One of my fears in life is to be hated on by another person. That sounds stupid but I am still trying to accept the fact that people I meet in life may not like me and that's okay. In life you're going to meet people that will hurt you, dislike you and just make you feel down; however, it is important to take a step back, re-evaluate the situation and think "is this really worth my time". Many people in my life have constantly reminded me to not waste my time on people who make me feel less worthy than what I am. People who make you feel uncomfortable or uneasy are people who you don't want to be around. A reason being; the thoughts you feel around the person are not going to make you feel better about yourself which results in low self-esteem - consequently having a strong impact on the way you think/feel about things.

This was all I wrote in that post. I had to read it a few times to understand the underlying meaning of what I truly meant. It seemed like a reminder to myself that fear causes us to see the world differently and it's about trying to overcome it.

Have I overcome my fear of being hated by another individual? - to this day, I think I've started to find it more accepting in the sense that IT'S OKAY and not everyone has to like me. Although, it's more about being who you are, being kind, compassionate and humble. In life people come and go. You learn so much and discover the right people for you - people who will help you become a better version of yourself. I can't explain how many times I complained to the people that love me about wanting to find someone that will accept me and care for me. I realised that these people are right in front of me. I was caught up in this idea that every individual has to be 100% supportive and kind towards me. In life that isn't the case.

It's now October 22nd at 9:15am, I'm currently in class and that's all had to say.

REVIEW · Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes 4-in-1 Mascara

This mascara may not be new, but it is new to me and my collection. I picked this up at Sephora recently and I thought I should share my opinion on this product. 

This mascara claims to be lengthening, curling, volumizing and conditioning. It is considered to be a dramatic mascara by creating thick, sexy lashes. - Sephora

This is the first Tarte product I own and I absolutely love for what they stand for. They are a cruelty free brand and I've heard a lot great reviews on their products. 

I found this mascara to be quite lengthening, only slightly volumizing and not so much 'dramatic'. However, it is a very lovely product. It doesn't clump or weigh down my lashes, it's build-able and removes easily. It also doesn't irritate my eyes. The wand is made of fibres and is easy to coat your top lashes from root to tip. It can be difficult to coat the bottom lashes because of the size, although my lashes are quite short. I found that after a few uses, the formula improves - so don't get disheartened like me after the first use!

This mascara retails at Sephora Australia for $27.00.

Rimmel London Kate Moss Nude Lipsticks

Hello everyone, I hope you're well! I was lucky to try the new Rimmel London Lasting Finish Nude Lipstick Collection by Kate Moss. It can be quite difficult to find a nude lipstick that will compliment and suit your skin tone. However, in this new collection there are 5 neutral lipstick shades. There may be one for you!

LEFT to RIGHT:

#48 - Coffee Nude

#45 - Rose Nude

#43 - Tan Nude

#42 - Apricot Nude

#40 - Pale Nude

Shade #48 - Coffee Nude: This lipstick is a brown toned nude. It's perfect for warmer skin tones. The warm undertone adds dimension to the lips. It is also wonderful for creating an ombre' neutral lip, which is on trend at the moment!

Shade #45 - Rose Nude: This is my favourite out of the whole collection. It has a beautiful brown/mauve undertone and is flattering on cool skin tones. It can be also great for layering and brightening up your lipstick!

Shade #43 - Tan Nude: This one is perfect for people with warmer skin types. It does have a peachy and beige-like undertone and looks beautiful on the lips.

Shade #42 - Apricot Nude: This shade is a beautiful pink nude with a peachy undertone. This one is flattering on cooler skin types.

Shade #40 - Pale Nude: This shade is most flattering on fair skin tones. However, it is perfect for brighting up the lip by applying it just to the centre. It also has a pink undertone.

Overall, I am a massive fan of Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipsticks and was very excited to try out the neutral collection. They are moisturising, faintly scented and opaque with a semi-glossy finish.  My favourite is shade #45 and least being #40 as it looks quite concealer-like on my lips.

The nude collection retails at $12.95 each.

2015 September Favourites ♡

Good morning my sweeties. The day this post goes up it the day of my birthday!- so today it's my birthday! I thought it would be fun as per usual to share what I have been enjoying in the past month.

♡ MAC Lipstick in 'Twig': Love love love this lipstick. It's a beautiful mauve shade. I admit I only picked this up because it's a lipstick Kylie Jenner wears! Although, it is quite stunning and looks lovely on the lips. It is a satin finish, smells like vanilla and is long lasting. 

♡ Rimmel London Kate Moss Lipstick in '#45': Another lipstick obsession. This is a beautiful rose nude. It's super creamy and opaque; lasts really well and is perfect for everyday. I have a full review on the whole nude collection coming soon. Highly recommend this lipstick for those with cooler skin tones. 

♡ Rimmel London Brow Kit: I have been going crazy about how good this eyebrow kit is. It includes a wax and powder and a mini spooli and angled brush. It creates a defined, natural and full brow. I have a full review here. 

♡ OGX Weightless Hydration Coconut Water Shampoo and Conditioner: I did purchase this thanks to Zoella. I love these products. (1) they're cruelty free and organic, (2) they smell amazing and (3) they leave my hair feeling soft and looking shiny. They are really great at hydrating dry hair and overall great products to try.

Music:

Ayo - Chris Brown ft. Tyga
All I Want - Kodaline
High Hopes - Kodaline

Movie:
The Maze Runner - I really enjoyed this movie! Amazing characters and plot.
The Scorch Trials - This was such an intense movie. Although, I really liked it.
Cowspiracy - I highly recommend this documentary for everyone. It opened up my eyes about the world we live in and is such a good film to watch.

Food:

Alter Eco Chocolate - This is the best chocolate I have ever tasted. It is organic and majority of the flavours are vegan. My favourite right now is the 'quinoa' flavour. It may sound gross but it tastes just like a crunch chocolate bar. 

Cliff Bars - Another vegan quilt free treat. These are so good! I love the chocolate chip flavour. I get mine from Healthy Life but I believe they sell them on iHerb.com.

Have an amazing October!

Rimmel London Eyebrow Collection

The strong eyebrow trend has been on going for a while now. Everybody wants bold, groomed eyebrows! I was lucky enough to try out the new Rimmel London eyebrow collection and I have been obsessed! The collection contains four brow mascaras and two brow palettes.

'Brow This Way' - Brow styling gel 

There are a total of three tinted eyebrow gels and one clear eyebrow mascara in the collection. The tinted ones come in dark brown, medium brown and blonde. These eyebrow mascaras are amazing; they groom, tint, tame and keep your brows in place throughout the day. The wand is also a good size as it's small enough to have control over how much product you get on the brow.

'Brow This Way' - Brow Sculpting Kit

I was so happy when Rimmel brought out an eyebrow kit because there isn't really one at the drugstore. The collection includes two brow sculpting kits; one in the shade medium brown and the other in dark brown. Unfortunately there isn't one for blondes in this collection. In the brow sculpting kit, there is a wax and powder. The wax is perfect to shape and define the brow and the powder fills in sparse areas and creates a bold finish. The kit also includes a mini spooli and angled brush.

These are the new brow products from Rimmel London!

Why I Went Vegan.

Hi everyone, I hope your well. In the month of August I decided to make a change and switch to a plant based diet. This was a decision that I made based on all the research I found over the previous few months......

From a really young age I was always conscious about my health and well-being. I was heavily influenced by the media about what is "good" for my body. Being insecure about my body resulted in me trying out diets. - going from starving myself all day to binging out all night. Eating minimal calories of low carb and high protein fats which wasn't at all healthy. I would go through times where I actually saw results by eating minimal carbs, however, I was always tired, unhappy and hungry. The weight ended up coming back which really affected my emotional health and the way I felt about myself. My "diet" ended up making me have bad digestion problems. I always felt sick every time I ate - like I was going to throw up. No one wants to live like this!

I didn't realise all the saturated animal fats I ate really affected my body. Coming from an Italian household, I never thought of the term "Vegan". I always thought people who didn't eat meat, fish or dairy weren't normal. It wasn't until I discovered you-tuber Essena Oneill whose' videos opened up my eyes about this lifestyle. Followed by Essena, I started to watch Bonny Rebecca and Freelee the banana girl who provided insight into a "high carb low fat vegan diet" (HCLF) and the nutritional benefits of eating plant based. I was starting to become aware of the health concerns involved in meat consumption and didn't want to be at risk. We get 10x more nutrition from meat/dairy in fruits and vegetables. 

As I was learning about Veganism, my meat intake started to decrease as every time I would eat it, I'd imagine the precious animal. I never really ate fish, however, dairy was a big issue in my life. I don't drink milk - almond or soy is to my preference. Milk always gave me stomach aches - which I now understand as human's are not supposed to be consuming dairy milk. I ate cheese, chocolate, and pretty much everything I ate, such as snacks, included milk. It is clear that dairy is very high in fat - I knew this before I was vegan. 

Besides my health, the animals is what really assisted me into making the switch. I definitely learnt a lot watching documentaries about the inhumane, meat and dairy industries. It is very heartbreaking. I had no idea that this treatment occurred and I was responsible for it. I always used to call myself an "animal lover" but never really understood that cows, chickens and pigs are animals too. It was confronting seeing these beautiful animals faces when harmed. Cows do not deserve to be taken from their families, chickens don't deserve to be crushed and pigs don't deserve to be treated like their worthless. NO ANIMAL DESERVES THIS!

The simplicity and deliciousness of whole foods such as fruits and vegetables is what I love about a Vegan diet. Being able to eat as much as you want without the guilt, eating CARBS which I never thought I'd do. It's truly incredible discovering how your lifestyle choices reflect on your overall health and well-being. I feel amazing. I hope this inspires you to try a plant-based diet!

2015 August Favourites ♡

HAPPY AUGUST! We're getting closer and closer to Christmas! This month went real fast, thus I have only three products to show.

 ♡ Too Faced 'Better Than Sex' Mascara: I have previously mentioned this in a favourites post before. I absolutely adore this mascara. I get so many compliments on my lashes when I wear it. It gives your lashes so much length and volume. Highly recommend if you're looking for a new mascara.

 ♡ Australian Pure Beauty Exfoliating Face Scrub: I've been loving this face scrub! My skin has been quite dull and dry this past winter so I was in need of an exfoliator. This is all natural and perfect for sensitive skin. This assists with deep cleaning pores, removing dirt and dull skin cells. It's also very affordable! I use it 1-2 times a week and my skin feels so smooth.

 ♡ Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water: I have also mentioned this in a past favourites but I have been really enjoying it this month. It removes any excess dirt on the skin, waterproof mascara and any left over eye make-up. It's very gentle and doesn't irritate my skin or eyes. Also, it's affordable!

Let me know if you have any questions!

Little things that make me feel better

Good evening my loves. I am currently suffering from a terrible cold and feel awful about myself. I'm laying on my bed with my laptop, my cat by my side and a whole box of tissues. Whenever I'm feeling like crap, I like to think of ways to cheer me up and make me feel my best.

♡ FIRST STEP!
I love making a playlist that makes me feel good and energetic. They say music is the key to changing one's mood, so singing and dancing to a couple of songs can truly make you feel a whole lot better. My current 'feel good' song is "Good For You" by Selena Gomez & A$AP ROCKY.

♡ SECOND STEP!
Something strange I have discovered is wearing undergarments that match. There's something satisfying to me knowing that I'm wearing a matching underwear set. It honestly makes me go about my day feeling confident.

♡ THIRD STEP!
Make up is a wonderful thing. There is evidently nothing wrong about wearing no make up - I love not wearing make up. However, I enjoy accentuating my features to make me feel a lot better about myself. A bright lip always makes me feel better.

♡ FOURTH STEP!
Staying hydrated is so important for our overall health and well-being. I find when I drink a lot of water, I feel good on the inside, glow on the out and look and feel so much brighter and awake. DRINK A GLASS OF WATER NOW!

♡ FIFTH STEP!
As well as staying hydrated, eating well makes me feel real good. What you eat truly reflects on your physical, mental and emotional state. I find that when I eat lots of fruits, veggies and carbs, I feel so energised and happy! Smoothies are my everything, oh and sweet potatoes!

Those are just some little things that make me feel better about myself.

2015 July Favourites ♡

Okay, July went by way too fast! I'm pretty excited that it's August because (1) my birthday is in 2 months and (2) I can't wait for the warmer weather. This post is a little later than usual, but better late than ever.

♡ Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette: I included this in my last post, and talked about how much I love Urban Decay eyeshadows because they're so buttery and easy to work with. This palette has been my latest obsession when it comes to eyeshadows. The palette is perfect for everyday eye looks; it comes with 6 neutral shades including my favourite "venus", which is amazing for high lighting the inner corner of the eye/brow bone area.

♡ Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation: As well as the eyeshadow palette, I mentioned this in my last post. I included how I remember using this foundation a while ago and how I loved it. I decided to try it out again this past month and I have been loving it. It gives the skin a beautifull glow, which has been a necessity this winter because my skin has been looking dull. It's light weight, build-able and overall a really lovely product.

♡ REVLON Colorburst Matte Balm in "225 Sultry": This lip colour is stunning! It's a deep pink with a slight brown undertone. It's the perfect shade for day/night wear, which I love. The formula is really creamy and comfortable to wear on the lips. It also smells like peppermint! Lip crayons are probably my favourite lip products because they're really easy to apply.

♡ Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick in "077 Asia": I have been in-love with this lipstick recently. I've had it for a while now, and I recall mentioning it in favourites post before. It's a beautiful pinky-mauve shade; it's glides on really easily and has good lasting power on the lips. I love Rimmel lipsticks and this has to be my all-time favourite!
