Sephora Rouge Cream Lipstick - Sexy Game Review

Hello Readers!

If you  have read my last couple of posts, you will know that I have been to Paris!

Whilst on my venture in Sephora, I picked up one of their 'Rouge Cream' lipsticks in the colour 'Sexy Game 12'.

I really like the packaging! You can't really see it as well as I would of liked (due to rubbish lighting) But the lid is just plain black plastic, and then around the bottom of the base, it is a shinier black plastic displaying the word 'SEPHORA'. Like the MUA lipsticks, on the bottom of this one has the colour of the lipstick. 

It is a nice deep red/ rosy brown colour. It is amazingly pigmented, within one swipe your whole lip is covered! It is very creamy not dry like most Barry M lipsticks! The colour that it is showing up on my lip picture is more accurate to the real colour, as the lighting is making it look more red/orange in the other pictures!

If I get the chance again, I would like to buy more of these! To me, it is a tad too dark for an everyday colour, but I think it would be nice as an evening/ more sophisticated colour! 

You can view more colours here which is on the US Sephora website.

I bought this €10.90, which is approx. £8.70.

My Rating: 4/5

Estee Lauder Pure Colour Crystal Creme Lipstick - Crystal Pink; Review

Hello Readers, and welcome new readers! :D

I have another lipstick review for you! This one is from Estee Lauder. This lipstick is the only product I own from this brand, and it has not given me any negative views on the brand!





The lipstick is so creamy on application! In colour, it looks quite dark to me, however it matches my lip colour! The lasting power for this lipstick in my opinion would be about 2 hours maximum, and thats without eating! But as it is in such a glamourous and luxurious tube, I'm not too fussed about retouching in public! It is a bit sheerer than a normal lipstick, but some how gives an excellent flush of colour!





What Estee Lauder have to say about it: "Looks and feels incredible. It leaves lips wanting more. Enriched with lip-loving ingredients, including apricot kernel, shea butter and murumuru butter that leave lips soft and creamy smooth." What woman could turn that description away?! If I didn't already have this lipstick, I would definitely want to go out ASAP and buy this lipstick!

This lipstick retails for £18.50 for 3.8g of product. To me, this is definitely a luxury buy, and it is a proud member of my lipstick collection.

Chanel Rouge Coco Shine Lipstick - Boy

Hello readers!

I received this lipstick as a gift for christmas, and have only just got round to reviewing it for you!









(Sorry about the rubbish quality of the photos, the lighting source is really rubbish!)

Anyway, onto the product! The colour of this lipstick is 54- Boy. It is a perfect everyday colour. To me, it is a 'my lips but better' colour. It is labeled as "Hydrating sheer lipstick." The lipstick is very sheer, as it states, so you will not get 100% full coverage with this product. The texture of it is more like a lip balm, but gives your lips a lovely sheen of colour!

To me, all Chanel makeup packaging is so chic, and fancy! Even the cardboard box which the lisptick comes in is nice! The lipstick casing itself, is black plastic, with a gold metal ring around the centre. My Chanel mascara has a silver part, rather than gold!

What Boots have to say about this lipstick "As melt-away as a balm, its lip-embracing texture becomes fluid on contact with the lips and provides a stunning gloss effect with natural shine. Deliciously fresh and soft, it delivers an unforgettable sensation of well-being.Lips are enveloped in the incomparable comfort of continuous 8-hour-long hydration thanks to the Hydratender complex, the secret behind the softness of the ROUGE COCO range.Sparkling with vitality, your smile takes on a new sheer colour."

The lipstick has a slight floral smell and taste, but it is nothing too offensive.

You get 3g of product, for £23. Some people will probably think that spending that amount of money on a single lipstick is ridiculous, my mum being one of them! However, this is probably one of the most luxurious items in my make up collection. I believe that every woman, at least once in their lives, should own a Chanel product!

I absolutely love this lipstick, it is my absolute favorite out of my entire collection. But I need to use it sparingly, as I dont want to run out of this fantastic product anytime soon!

Well done Chanel!

Mini MAC Haul.

Hello readers!

Wow... 2 posts in one night... Impressive! On sunday I went shopping with my mum, and whenever I go to Debenhams, I always want to check out the MAC section Now I'm not one of them girls who only buy high-end make up, I buy what I want to buy! What seems nice, and what has good quality! Whether its the £1 MUA eyeshadows from Superdrug (which have amazing pigment, and I love) to £22 foundation! I just buy what I think is good!

But, with me, and a freshly paid bank account, in a MAC store... Never a good idea! I dont know what it is.. I can never leave there empty handed!

On this mini splurge, I bought 2 items, a single eyeshaddow, and a Lustre lipstick.

The Eyeshadow:

The colour which I picked up is called Idol Eyes
It is a silver shimmery colour, with a hint of lilac. It has quite big chunks of glitter in it, so might not be everyone's choice. Unfortunately, it is not one of MAC's most pigmented colour, therefore you wouldn't be able to wear this colour on its own, you would need a primer underneath, to help bring the colour out.

MAC single eyeshadows retail at £11.50 each, and you get 1.5g of product.






(Sorry about the bad swatching, my camera on my phone cannot withstand its shimmery-ness!)

Idol Eyes eyeshadow: 3/5


The Lipstick:

The lipstick which I picked up is from the Lustre range, and is called Lovelorn. To me, this is the most beautiful shade of pink! It is so girly, and so classic!

MAC lipsticks retail at £13.50 each, and contain 3g of product. According to the MAC website it is "a blue-toned emotive pink". I just love it!

I love the packaging, it is just so sleek! The lipstick itself has a slight vanilla scent to it.











By far, this is one of my most favorite lipsticks!
Lovelorn Lipstick: 4.5/5

Let me know if you have tried any of these products!

L'OREAL Studio Secrets Universal Lip Glow

Hello Readers! :)

Today in Boots I was just having a little look around, and I never usually have a look at L'OREAL, but today I found myself browsing! Now I had never seen any reviews on this product, never even heard of it to be honest! I saw it on the shelf, and the glamourous black and pink packaging caught my eye! I presumed it would be a normal lipstick... Boy oh boy was I wrong?! I hate to admit it, but I am one for a good old gimmick!

I took the tester, swizzled it up, and WOW! It is like a transparent bright pink/orange colour! I had never seen anything like it before! It looks so edible! Like a hard boiled sweet! It has a slight orangey flavour to it, but it is not too over-powering!

Have any of you tried that green Barry M lipstick, which changes colour due to the acidity of your lips? Well this kind of does the same! It changes colour due to the moisture of your lips! So it will be individual to each and everyone of you! The texture of it is alot like a lip balm, rather than a lip stick.




(Sorry about the faint colour showing up, the light was doing it no justice!)



What L'OREAL have to say about it: "A Natural Glow; The Universal Lip Glow feels light and non drying on your lips. A natural shade of pink, just for you.
A Smooth Texture; Enriched with pomegranate extract, emollient oil and polymers, Universal Lip Glow leaves the lips feeling soft and supple.

This product is a little pricey, at £8.49, but to me, it is totally worth it! It was such an impulse buy, but I'm glad I brought it!

Rating: 4/5 ****

Hope you found this review helpful!

Lots of Love,

17 Mirror Shine Lipstick - Beehive

Hello All!
I am doing well today, 2 blog posts in one day! I shouldn't think this will happen alot!

Moving on to the subject of the post! On friday, I purchased Beehive from the 17 collection in boots. This lipstick is raved about in the blogging world, so I almost felt like I had to have it! I swatched the grimey tester on my hand in the shop, and the colour seemed really pretty! So I put one in my basket, and headed for the till.

When I got home, I opened it up, and was so eager to try it! My first impression... horrible. I was so disappointed.I was expecting a really nice pinky nude, but it just made my lips look SO cakey. I wanted a natural look with this, and it almost made me look like I had the typical 'concealer lips'.








However it is VERY moisturizing and creamy, and has a nice gleam to it. I like the mirrored turquoise blue packaging, but others may not!

These retail at £4.69 each. I will conceder buying other colours from this range, but as this is the first lipstick that I have got from there, it hasnt given me the best impression!

What are your thoughts on this lipstick? Have you tried it?

My views: 2/5 ** :(


Lots of Love

Pretige Colour Treat Lipsticks

Hello Readers! Got another review for you! :D


The other day, after I had finished college, I decided to go an have a look around the local Boots, as it is much bigger than the one in my hometown! I fancied going on a bit of a spending spree, as it was payday, and I had caught a bit of a cold, and shopping always seems to make me feel better!

So I was having a bit of a browse around the make-up section, seeing what new products there are, swatching nearly every sparkly eye-shadow, as you can imagine! Then I came to a stand which I had never noticed before; Prestige. This Boots that I was in, must be discontinuing their range of prestige, as the display was practically empty with a couple of bits and bobs still remaining! What drew my attention the most was the fact that they were having a 75% off clearance!

All in all, I picked up 9 products, and Boots are currently having a 3 for 2 offer on all their make-up, so I paid for just 6! I will do separate posts on each item, as I want these reviews to be morse precise!



I personally like the packaging, as it looks girly and pretty, and you wouldnt be embarrassed to keep it in your make up bag, or to whip it out in public! However, some people may not like it, as it is very plasticy! It is just a simple grey tube, with baby pink, fancy writing, saying Prestige all over the lid.



I picked up two of these lipsticks, I think there are 10 different shades all in all, but in this Boots, they only had about 5 shades available. They are usually £6.50 each , but because of the 75% off sale, I got them for £1.62 each! Massive bargain if you ask me!

The first shade which I picked up is: LCL-03 - Radiant Coral. The name of it pretty much describes it to a T! It is more pinky toned than orange in my eyes, and it has a lovely sheen to it! It is quite a bold colour when on your lips, and it comes out pretty much true to colour! They are both very moisturising too! My camera is making the colour look ALOT more red than it really is... I would say it is more of a warmer coral than you would expect.. Its lovely though!

If you take a look on their website, you will be able to see the actual colours a lot more accurately.

This is Radiant Coral Above!


Moving on to the second lipstick; LCL-04 - Beautifully Buff.



This lipstick is my favorite out of the two! It is my lip colour, but better! It gives out a really nice natural, yet classy feel to it. It is a dusky pink colour, with a tinge of brown(?). Haha, my descriptive skills need to improve! The photos of this one are a lot closer to real life than the Radiant Coral one! Stupid Sunlight! Haha!

Both lipsticks go on a dream, and last on your lips for an average time. The texture is not too creamy, but it is not too waxy (like the barry m lipsticks). I would recommend these lipsticks, as they are nice quality, however to me, they are one of them products that once it is used up, you wont go out rushing to buy it again, you move on, and try to find an alternative!

My rating: 4/5 ****

Hope you enjoyed this post!

Lots of Love
