Revlon ColorBurst Balm- Flirtatious

Well i decided to try a different background for this post today, hm not too sure about it but it will do for now!
As you may (or may not) know the Revlon Matte balms have been raved about on the internet, however I bought a normal colorburst ones accidentally due to the confusion of Boots website.
It is a bright glossy balm and costing £7.99 from Boots, fair price for what it is.
It applies nice and smoothly, very similar to a tinted Lip Balm, though this has way more pigment. Even after an hour you can rub your lips together without removing all the skin off your lips (you know the feeling). It is very moisturising and non sticky - Finally something non sticky!
I wear this quite a lot as it is still very bold for my complexion but i love it and looking to buy some more, including the matte balms as they seem utterly intriguing.

Revlon Lip Butter- 096 Macaroon

I have been hiding this is my 'beauty drawer' all summer, but when September arrived (finally) this is the lipstick i was most looking forward to wearing. This is my absolutely favourite Autumn/Winter Lipstick.

I have to say the packaging of all the Revlon Lip Butters are not impressive for a £7.99 Lipstick, but they are 'alright'.


 This lipstick is a deep pink/red and is brilliant with a fair skin tone as a bold red can sometimes pale you out.
I love the texture of this as it is so smooth and moisturising, i love that is does not dry out my lips. Though i have heard that it is hit and miss depending on which colour you get.
It has a gentle shimmer, nothing too bold. The wear would be around 3-4 hours, which is fine for me as i love re-applying lipstick anyway.

It gives a wonderfully glossy finish, so no need to wear lip gloss, unless you want to. 
I just love it!

What is your perfect winter lipstick?

Maybelline Baby Lips!

This product has been reviewed and raved about it the beauty community, so obviously i had to try it! It is £2.99 at Boots here, but i got this for 2.99 euros as i am on holiday. A great bargain for me!
The flavour/colour i bought was Pink Punch (as it was pink!), one great thing about this product is that it has a flavour so doesn't taste horrible in the mouth! The packaging is super cute (they have other colours as well) and it seems pretty durable.
 On this lips is seems very creamy and moisturising while adding colour. When looking it the mirror it honestly looks like a lip gloss, but on the lips it is so soft and moisturising.
The colour is long lasting, i think you would only need to touch up once in a day.
I think the only let down for me is that when i think of 'Baby Lips' i think of a super light natural colour. I feel like i did not get it with this product as it is quite pigmented, but don't get me wrong i love it now, though initially i was disappointed.
This is a picture of it on my lips, bear in mind this is a very thin layer! You definitely can get a MUCH bolder colour than this.

Suncream!

When i think of sun-cream i think beach, holiday's and sun! Also when your on holiday or its hot you need suncream, it is basically an essential. So i am going to share with you all the suncreams i have been using this holiday and that worked!
All the sun creams i have been using.
 Lets start with my face, i have been using this Clarins Sun Control Stick SPF 30, i have loved this. This is very easy application for my 'prone to burn areas'. I have been using this a lot when i have been sailing so it great for being out at sea! It is £16.00 and you can buy it from here.


 Also on my face i have been using Dermologica Oil free matte face suncream. It is a great suncream and doesn't break me out at all, a very big plus! This is around the £35 mark and you can get it from here.
On of my friend actually gave it to me as a recommendation, it is a good suncream but i would not purchase this as it is too expensive and there are cheaper alternatives.
For my lips i have been using this Nivea SPF 30 lip balm and i love it! It is very moisturising and leaves my lips feeling very smooth and soft, what a lip balm should do. This is £3.29 and you can buy it here!
For my hair and scalp i have been using this Sole Mare thing?! I actually don't really know much about it as the lady at the counter said it would stop you from burning. What i have to say about this is that it makes your hair look a bit oily.

For my body i have been using the Nivea Invisible Protect SPF 30 as it so easy to apply and NOT sticky. I absolutely hate the cream suncreams that leave a sticky residue behind and this doesn't! This is £11 and you can buy it here. Basically i love most of Nivea's product!
Finally is this Jason brand of sun cream, this was new to me as i had found it in WholeFoods and the lady was so in love with the product she sold it to me. Basically this is as natural as you can get with suncream and i LOVE it! This is normally £11.00 buy you can get it for £6.00 Here!!



So those are all the suncream i have been using! Comment below if you have any recommendations for me!
