A change....

So.. I have changed my name! I am now the 'Skinny Lipstick'. I felt like this change was a long time coming, as i continually grew to hate my name 'Crushing On Pink', it had no true meaning to me.

Until i finally bit the bullet and changed to 'Skinny Lipstick'!

Also i have given my site a face lift and changed its design, so it truly reflects what is on this blog.

Starting from now, there will not only be beauty posts but there will be Lifestyle and Food posts being posted regularly. I really feel this has given me the motivation to really blog again and not just go through the motions.

Enjoy life you only have one.

Maybelline Color Tattoo- Permanent Taupe

Eye shadows are my weakness, i seem to be forever buying neutral eye shadows. I swear I have at least 5 of the same shade of brown. So why not buy another one?

This is my second Color Tattoo (I also have the shade Pink Gold) and this doesn't disappoint. It is so simple to use, perfect to take on holiday or travel. I don't use a brush, I just use my fingers to blend it near the corners of my eye or all over my eye lid. It does make a really nice simple and subtle smokey eye.

What I love about this is that it is not your classic neutral, it is a cool grey which goes perfect with most skin tones. It also lasts all day which is great!

Have you tried it? What did you think?

Bobbi Brown Gel Eyeliner

Yes gaze upon the product in all its glory. I thought i would make full use of the lovely British weather which we have been granted with lately, hence the stony background. I bought this for £19 aboard the British Airways plane on the return from my holiday in the sun, if I am honest I think I got quite a deal. A full size pot usually retails for £17 and I got 2 slightly smaller pots for £19! I mean how fast do you go through eye-liners?

For me the packaging is absolutely chick and stylish, classic Bobbi Brown. I had heard many bloggers go crazy over these eye-liners and their amazing qualities.

I forgot to mention you also get a miniture of their 'ultra fine eye-liner brush' which is very handy.

The colours are 'Black Ink' and 'Sepia Ink'. Black Ink is your average everyday black and Sepia Ink is a dark brown, although it gives your eyes a softer appearance. They apply very smoothly onto my eyelid with minimal hassle, always good. And they last all day. There is no chance that this product will come off your lid in the day, even if there was some random rainstorm. I am telling you now, its a lifesaver eyeliner.

There is nothing bad to say bout this product and i can tell you i will be using it for a very long time.

Have you tried this fabulous product? What did you think?

Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation

Apologies for the complete lack of posts on my behalf, i have big exams coming up so my motivation for blogging has been the size of an ant! Exams are the worst.

Anyway lets move on to this foundation! This is the Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation and retails for £8.99. It is a medium coverage foundation with a slightly pink undertone. You can tell you have foundation on which i thought was slightly disappointing, as it is 'nearly naked'.
Throughout the day it seems to wear well, however if you have oily skin like myself you will most definitely need to powder, at least a couple times.
Overall i think the Revlon Colourstay foundation is at the moment staying my firm favourite!

vo5 Plump It Up Back-combing spray

I am going to share a little bit of my hair background, as one could call it. I have wavy/curly hair, however i often straighten it and that is where is loses all its volume and just is not something pretty. My hair needs that bit of oomph to make it voluminous - like Nicole Scherzinger's hair on the Herbal Essences ad (apart from all the sex noises obviously, hehe). That is why i bought this.

I was a bit apprehensive at first because of the word back-combing. Where i live there was a period of time where girls had backcombed their hair so much it was huge and messy (like Bridget Jones after she got out of the open top car?), do you know what i mean?. Not the look i was trying to achieve anyway.

I was a bit disappointed with this product, as i felt this did not give much volume to my hair at all! I will give it a little slack, i mean it did something but not as much as i was expecting. This will probably work on shorter hair as my hair is long so its heavy. For £3.79 it isn't bad either.

L'oreal Touche Magique Concealer

The nuisance of my life, concealers. I am afraid that this is yet another disappointing concealer. For £8.19 i was thoroughly frustrated with this product as I really liked the whole idea of it all.

This is meant to be a dupe for the Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat and it is very much inferior to the mighty Touche Éclat.

The packaging is ok although I don't  particularly like the plastic feel or the colour if I am honest, though that is just my opinion. 

To use this product you have to twist the bottom and the concealer comes out into a soft bristled brush, with which you apply onto your face. I feel like the concealer is a watery consistency with minimal coverage. For me it did none of the'anti-fatigue illuminating' effects as it promised, it was a bit too light for me. As I have ranted about my dark under eye circles on numerous occasions. It lasted a full day (yay a bright side) so it is longwearing.

If your looking for a light coverage very natural concealer this one is perfect  for you!

Have you tried this concealer? Did is work for you?

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!
