Review: My Lord & Berry Lipstick crush


So I’m feeling refreshed from my holiday in Antibes, France and have a beautiful sun kissed glow to match. As you all know I have recently become a fan of lipstick crayons and have stumbled across Lord & Berry a brand who specialise in professional makeup pencils. Since becoming a crazed fan of lipstick crayons I am constantly on the lookout new exciting brands and I must stay this particular range is a god send as they offer a variety of beautiful shades, so there is something for everyone. I have two gorgeous shades to match the mood I am in on that particular day.

Lord & Berry -  Lipstick crayons
Here I am wearing a shade called "Intimacy", which is great when I am going for a more natural look. I love that this colour has a slight hint of mauve which is great match for my skin complexion.

I also love bright coloured lips at the moment and here I am wearing Lord & Berry’s lipstick crayon in their “cherry” colour. It’s a beautiful deep bright raspberry shade once applied, and I love wearing this shade to brighten up my outfit and also it’s a focus point as it is the first thing you see.

Everyone always wants a long lasting colour for their lips and look no further as Lord & Berry’s lipstick crayons will give you just that. This product has a beautiful satin finish to give you irresistible lips.

Review: No7 High Shine Lip Crayon

So my beauty lovers!! I’ve discovered a new lippy, from a brand that I never really looked at No.7 in boots. 

 Now whenever I do a shop in boots I often get a £5 voucher to spend on the No 7 range, but I always end up chucking it away. However I was running low on my nude lipstick and thought I would use my voucher to purchase a new lippy. Recently I was introduced to lip crayons and was eyeing up either the Nars or Clinque range, but because I was eager to use my voucher I decided to try No.7’s own lip crayon range. After rummaging through the colours I managed to find a natural/nude colour called “daydreamer” for my skin complexion, which is what I was looking for. 



This particular lip crayon is “High Shine” and gives a nice glossy look. I’m pretty chuffed with my bargain as I only paid £4 with my £5 off(originally £9), ladies hunt through your bags for your No.7 voucher and grab yourself a bargain also.

Maybelline Polka dot launch

So the other weeks Maybelline was hosting an event to celebrate the launch of their “Polka dot” color show collection. This is perfect for adding art work to those lifeless fingertips or for just jazzing up your fabulous manicure.

On that particular night I discovered the Maybelline color show collection. Now when it comes to nail polishes I tend to stick to my fave brands which tend to be pricey because unfortunately I’m one of those people who believe the more you pay the better quality the product is (which isn’t always the case). This is why I’ve never paid other brands any attention.  However I must say this particular collection is great for those looking for luscious nails at an affordable price. The color show collection has some really vibrant and exciting colours with some great names to match.




I’ve already fallen for the “Winter baby” colour which is a white nail lacquer, now I was a bit apprehensive about white polishes in general and always find that the texture is very thin and you have to keep adding layers (which means longer drying time and gooey texture) to get the full colour. With “winter baby” I did 3 layers and I would keep it to a maximum of 4 and you end up with a colour as white as snow which is dead on trend at the moment.  If you want to add a different look to your polish you can add a coat of the polka dot range to either a single nail or your to your whole manicure.

 I would say the only flaw of the Polka dot collection is when it comes to removing it the dots themselves can be tricky to get rid of but other than that you must this nail lacquer is a must try!!!

Big Apple Red

Hello my beauts!! Now that the weather seems to be perking up its time to get the vibrant gloss on those finger tips. As I went to see the Lion King in the theatre over the weekend I thought it best to bring out my inner lioness with this beautiful OPI red nail lacquer. OPI is one of my favorite brands as I find the colour really does last. I’ve had this particular colour since last summer and the polish still feels brand new, not sticky at all and glides on the nails as easy as the first day I tried it.
