FotD: A Foray into Lip Stain!

I was in Boots the other day and on a whim I picked up 17 Berry Crush Lip Stain and decided to give it a whirl. I'm totally out of love with lipstick at the moment because even with a lip pencil nothing stays on my lips or it ends up bleeding out. I thought a lip stain would solve all my problems, so I bought the 'Smoking Hot' version and tested it out!

 I have to say I wasn't that impressed. I like the idea of a lip stain but maybe I just bought a shitty product? When I was using the pen it felt like a felt tip that was running out, it didn't apply evenly and sometimes didn't come out at all! The only thing I could think of that was going wrong was that gravity wasn't allowing the 'ink' to come out since I was holding it upsidedown. Also, this stain comes with a lip balm on the other end. I used the lip balm about 15 minutes before applying the stain so maybe using it and putting the stain on top affected its performance? I will have to try it again without. The good news though is that the colour is very nice (here I have put just a plain red lipstick over the top with is why it's also a little glossy) and it stays on for FLIPPIN AGES. I went out to pub quiz, brushed my teeth and used a make up wipe at my lips were still stained slightly the next day. Very impressive! I would definitely buy a lip stain again but I think I would find another brand to try.

I've also added to my sunglasses collection (I think I have about twenty pairs now!) with these amazing ones from Primark. I just wish I had an excuse to wear them now! COME OUT SUN.

L'Oreal Paris Intense Lipstick FotD!

My mum got a free sample of L'Oreal Paris 'Made For Me' Intense lipstick, and since it was a bright red she gave it to me instead! Score! The shade is 286, also known as Light Brunette I think and from what I gather, the actual product comes with a matching nail polish which is awesome!  I couldn't wait to try it out, so now I'm strutting around with red lips and it's not even lunch time. Is that indecent? I think it's probably awesome.

So this lipstick claims to be filled with omega 3's and all that jazz to make your lips smooth and I reckon my lips so feel smoother and perhaps even moistened, but I don't really like that feeling in a lipstick? I like it to feel invisible rather than lip-glossy if that makes sense. But it definitely does what it claims to!

The colour is absolutely gorgeous, with flecks of glitter that are quite subtle. It glides on very smoothly and is lighter than it looks in the tube. I wore this with a plain red liner underneath but it did still slip around a bit and bled out which is super annoying as I am completely paranoid about my lips bleeding out. If you were going to buy this I would suggest going easy on it perhaps as a shimmery top coat to a stained lip as I wouldn't trust it to stay on all day!

P.S. I'm completely in love with this Bobbi Brown mascara! It stays on forever and separates the lashes so easily.

Spring FotD!

Here is what my face looks like today! Just a little bit of make up, I tried out a mascara I got ages ago and never used and it turned out to be pretty excellent, if not a little clumpy and thick. The lipstick I wore today is actually a bright red one, but I read a trick on another blog the other day of filling in your lips with white liner then blending with red lipstick to make a pink lipstick! It's lasted all day too so it's definitely something I'll be doing often! All my lovely rings are from JWLRY and the eyeball rings are Halloween accessories from Ebay. I have a twelve pack of the bladdy things, but the paint comes off SOOO easy so I'm wearing them all off and then I will paint them with lovely things!

As well as really craving pink hair again I also want to switch my septum ring out for a gold ring, since I usually wear gold jewellery. I'm just a bit bored of it and you don't see much gold body jewellery. What do you think? Gold would be okay in a body mod too right? Since it's like, the most resistant metal ever or whatever. I dunno, I don't know much about body modification!

After my last FotD post I cracked and snipped my fringe. I was flip flopping about whether to grow it out for the summer, but the temptation to cut it was too difficult to resist! I think I'm going to be a slave to this fringe forever, it's been with me since I was fifteen, how could I stop now?

Apparently the weather is going to take a turn for the worse soon, so I'm spending the last day of sunshine listening to 90s radio on Spotify and eating pizza! Tomorrow I am visiting my boyfriend in London for the weekend where we will probably... eat more pizza!

Face Of The Day

This is my first face of the day! The other day my mum gave me a huge box of make up she had gotten for Christmas that she never used because the make up was a bit crappy, so I emptied it and am using it as my make up/beauty product/hair stuff/nail polish storage space! I wish I could tell you how stoked I was to get it, haha. I love a good box, me. Anyway, I thought it was about time I dug through all my old make up and got rid of some stuff. Let me tell you, some of it was pretty grody stuff I'd had since I was like, fourteen! I didn't really use make up for the longest time and I still go bare faced most days just because my skin gets too itchy and I'm not too fussed, but I looove dressing up and putting on my face! I find it a very soothing process. Anyway, it occurred to me that I really only use about 6 items out of all my make up, I mean I've got about six sparkly eyeliners and a whole pallet of glittery eye shadow that I've never touched! I guess I just can't resist the sparkles.

 I've done this FotD showing what my face looks like everytime I go out partying. I don't switch it up too often, I've found what works for me and just run with it. I basically always wear liquid eyeliner, red lipstick and peach blush and I don't usually use any powders or stuff because they wear off on me and make my skin feel all clogged. My liner was a bit off today, usually with this liner you can get a really precise flick but my skills were rubbz!

Why do me eyes only go this colour when I stare directly at the sun?! Boo!

I hope you enjoys my foray into beauty blogging! I probably wont blog about it much because other people are much better at it and much more knowledgeable than I am, but it's fun to kick back and talk to you's GIRL2GIRL sometimes. I would definitely recommend this eyeliner though, it is my soulmate. Also the Bourjois foundation is great and feels really light and pure!
