MUA Lipstick Swatches

(L-R - 13, 3, 6, 7, 16, 15)

Apologies for the slow posting recently! The ol' college and work load is a wee bit overwhelming at the moment to say the least! Unfortunately that sometimes means blogging has to sit on the backburner at times =(

BUT! I recommend you get you butt to Superdrug or onto the MUA website because these fabulous lipsticks are just £1! That's right! No waiting for payday! (If your purse is really struggling, check the sofa..)

They're really pigmented, long-wearing and actually quite moisturizing. A complete bargain!

Plus - they ship internationally!

Revlon Lip Butter Swatches

 (L-R - Candy Apple, Lollipop, Peach Parfait, Creme Brulee, Strawberry Shortcake and Pink Lemonade)

SO, a little late on the lip butter swatches but hey! there here! 

Pink Lemonade is by far my favorite and a handbag staple, I probably have one in the car too!

You don't need me to tell you how popular and brilliant these lipsticks are. Pigmented, moisturizing and in an array of colors to choose from, you're bound to find your lip butter love.

Available at Boots and Superdrug for £7.99 but keep your eyes out for 3 for 2 offers that happen on a regular basis!

Review & Swatch - Revlon Lip Butter in Pink Lemonade

LOOK at this beauty!! I instantly swarmed onto this new shade and after I swatched it on the back of my hand, I announced to the rest of Boots that this lipstick was going home with me. It's just beautiful and I find the colour lingers, even after the balm has gone.

Purdy.

MUA Lipstick Swatches!

As you may have noticed, my recent purchases of MUA have excited me a wee bit! And let my purse breathe a sigh of relief! All these lipsticks are £1 and I love them! If you're a student make up artist like me, or just simple on a budget (erm, like me!) then get your butt down to Superdrug or to the MUA website.

I lurrrrve this brown-based lustre! So sheer but buildable. It's a really nice nude and is one of my staples!

Review - Chanel Coco Rouge Shine

I saw these advertised on one of those mini billboards and did the usual "OOOOooh!" but then of course the sensible part of my brain kicked in with "Errm, dude... it's Chanel... that's gonna be pretty pricey" but I've gone mad on moisturising lipsticks recently and I had to look up some swatches.

Long story cut short, I had to get my hands on one! I really couldn't make my mind up and ended up buying two (even though they are very similar!) so I bought No. 50 - Rivage and No. 54 - Boy... If you live in the UK, I'd recommended going to a large Boots if you can to buy these, so you can collect the advantage points!

These lipsticks are really beautiful. They glide like a dream and are really moisturizing without being too creamy. When compared to the Boots 17 Moisture Shine Lipstick (Beehive became quite popular within the beauty community) the Chanel is less opaque but is buildable which I think is a bonus, not to mention the wider range of colors. The Coco Shine also has a longer staying power of 4-5 hours on more lighter colours (I can't really vouch for this personally as I usually reapply when I don't need to!)

If you can fork out for one of these babies, I'd highly recommend it.
