Collection Deluxe Lipstick - Tallulah

Yet another pink lipstick that is being blogged about and the return of the pink background! This is the Collection Deluxe Lipstick in the shade Tallulah and it is £3.99.
Tallulah is a light pink, a mid toned pastel which i thought would be perfect for spring/summer casual 'pretty in pink'-esque look, although i might be inclined to class this as a nude as-well. The packaging i am not a big fan of as the main packaging after a while goes a rusty dark color but that is forgivable as the product is utterly fabulous.
It has a moisturizing non slip texture which sits perfectly on the lips even if they are slightly chapped (possibly too many days out in the sun). It lasts for at least 2 hours before it starts to properly fade. Not the most long lasting lipstick in my collection.
One swish of this over your lips gives an instant color pay off which has to be one of the best things about this product!

Collection Colour Pro Lip Lacquer

 Lets just sit here and admire the packaging of colour of this product by Collection.This was £4.19 ( to be precise) and it is in the shade Prom Queen, love the shade name, very cute.

Lets get into the product itself shall we?

As this is a Lip Lacquer i was expecting it to be thick, luscious and long lasting. Well it certainly is thick, it is super thick that you need the tiniest amount to cover your lips. I warn you, if you put any more than a small blob on your lips, it may look like a make up disaster.

Also it is very sticky, your mortal enemy on a windy day.

 It has a nice long doe-foot applicator which is definitely one of the pros, also it is very flexible, which means it can get into those tiny corners of your mouth.

From the swatch below you can also see the colour is beautiful and I just wish the product was not so sticky.

Have you tried this product? What do you think?

Max Factor Max Effect Lip-Gloss

A little announcement before i commence with this post and it is that i am going to be doing a 12 days of Christmas (Blogmas). So a 12 day countdown until Christmas, with a different post everyday on a range of topics. I have already mentioned this on my twitter @CrushingOnPink so some of you may know.

Anyway so that is my ramble out the way. Today i am reviewing Max Factor Max Effect Lipgloss in Diva Pink. You can buy these for £4.99 at Boots, which is average price for a Lip Gloss.

The packaging is standard lip-gloss packaging, a squeezy tube. Nothing too special here.

Anyway the product itself is quite sticky, never wear your hair down with this otherwise it will be  hair-lip disaster.

 The thing i do like about this is that it has fair amount of pigmentation for a lip-gloss, without being too bold. So if you were going for a day with minimal make-up this could possibly be the lip-gloss to reach for.

Maybelline Volum' Express Mascara

It is nearly the end of September, how fast has that gone? We are very close to the below zero winter, time to wrap up warm (a coat post soon!).

I realised i have not written an mascara post in the last couple of weeks and this has been my favourite mascara for the past month.

This is retailed at £9.00 from Boots, so it is not the cheapest but isn't too expensive. I didn't realise until i bought it but it is in shade brown, which actually i like a lot!

 The brush is quite short and flexible, it is one size so the bristles are the same distance apart.

It doesn't form clumps, which i obviously a big plus for you mascara lovers and it makes my lashes huge. My eyelashes are quite long anyway, but this makes my eyelashes up to 3x longer.

As you can see below it doesn't look brown but it is a lovely lengthening mascara.

What is your favourite mascara at the moment?

Vivo Beauty Balm

This product for me is a 'not much make up' day. It is from Vivo~link~ and retails for £5, Vivo is also available at Tesco now.

First of all is that i like the packaging, its plain and simple-nothing too fancy, which i am a fan of.

The whole idea of this product is that it gives you a light coverage, while evening your skin out.

I wear this on a weekend when i am taking a walk or something when i cant be bothered, as it is nice. 

I think it does make my skin a little less red, and gives me a light glow.

 Though if you have oily skin- like myself- prepare to get your powder out, as it gives a dewy finish but it areas where i am oily it doesn't cover it. It leaves a slightly sticky feeling, but don't worry as it is sorted out with powder.
I would have to add some concealer to under my eyes and blemishes as it is not a super strength concealer.

 I would say is you have dry skin, this is perfect for you or if you don't have blemishes but your skin is a bit red!

Overall i like this product for light coverage but wouldn't use it everyday, as it is not enough for me!

Vivo Haul!

So its September, one of my favourite months, it means going back to school/work (not so good) and the leaves fall off the trees. So i thought why not start September on a happy note- a Vivo Haul!
I am very excited to try all these products (expect a whole bunch of Vivo reviews).
All this (excluding the 1 item not from Vivo) cost me £11 in the 50% off sale, so it usually is £22.

This Trio eye-shadow palette is called Bronze Me Up, and it has a beautiful highlighter shade for your browbone, i can tell i am going to get tons of use out of this one. From what i can tell the pigment is 'ok'.

Is it retailed for £2.50.

Swatches of the colours in order are shown below.

Next i bought was a primer, can't say anything about this yet as i have not tried it.Though it is said mattifying. It is £6.00 usually.

I also this Beauty Balm in warm ivory, as my skin has been good lately so i wanted something lightweight. It is usually £5

Also i bought this Under Eye Roll on concealer, again haven't tried it yet. (£3.59)

Another item was the Gel Liner which was £3.49.

Finally from Vivo i bought this Lip Gloss which isin shade 6- Heavenly. It is quite a Deep Berry colour perfect for winter!

From Boot i ordered a Real Techinque's Expert Face brush on a whim!

I had to buy it though as its by Samantha Chapman, i mean c'mon? :)
