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.

Barry M Nail Paint- Bright Red. #10DaysToGo!

10 days to go! Well today i had a bit of fun with photo-shop hence the photo below, you might be seeing more of these!
So i have BarryM Nail Paint - Bright red this is £3.99. 
As most people know Barry M are definitely up there in the list of best nail polishes, so i thought this would be a good option for a Christmas nail polish.
I like the consistency of this polish and the brush isn't too thin, but i do prefer thicker brushes.
I do have apply over a couple of coats as it is quite sheer, but that doesn't really bother me.

What is your Christmas nail polish?

MUA Lipstick Shade 8. #11Daystogo!

11 days to go, gosh the excitement is building. Anyway today i have a lovely little Christmas Lipstick for you today.
MUA Lipstick shade 8, it is a sparkly berry red.
For £1, this is an absolute bargain especially if your never going to wear a lipstick like this again other than Christmas.
It is quite a deep berry red as i have mentioned so i would say this went with the lighter skin tones.
As for texture, when you apply on your lips it does feel a bit gritty; the sparkly bits explain that. So what has worked best for me is to put a clear lip-balm on before this Lipstick. Therefore you get a less gritty feeling and a more shiny appearance.
This is a lipstick you will need to re-apply but for £1 this is obviously expected.


 It is a rather beautiful colour, so i recommend getting it quickly before they all run out. Which has happened in my local store numerous of times.

MUA Lipstick shade 13

November is here everyone! Now is the time i really start celebrating Christmas- Christmas songs, buying presents, decorations and all that. So i though i would start this month with a colour relevant to Christmas- Red.

This is an MUA lipstick, it is Shade 13 and it is £1.
The packaging is quite sleek, however the lipstick is sometimes hard to get out!
This is such a bold colour, actually the boldest i own. The pigment is amazing in this, especially for £1.
However it does smudge quite considerable, so i wouldn't eat too much while wearing this. As once it has smudged it is an absolute bugger (pardon the french) to get off!.
This is a swatch of the lipstick!

Overall this is an OK product, i probably would not repurchase this colour.

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?
