Favorite Product Of October!

Hello my lovelies! So i'm thinking of starting a section on my blog, where i tell you my favorite product of the month, and here is Octobers!

 As you know, the other day i reviewed a lipstick from collection (HERE) It's quickly become my favorite beauty product of October. I've been using it with a high pony tail, a tartan scarf, and some brown lace up boots. I really think it's my perfect autumnal lip colour, and if your on the lookout for a fall lipstick, i recommend you try this one!

Collecion Gothic Glam Lipstick:- Seduction

*Sorry for the fact that this was taken in Starbucks! I wanted to apply it, but couldn't without photographing it first!*

Hello my Lovelies! If you've been reading for a while, you'll probably know that I've been on the look out for the perfect deep red/ purple lip colour recently. When i was in Scarborough a few weeks back now, i was looking for a really nice autumn lip colour. I swatched this and instantly feel in love with it, but there wasn't any left! Just my luck! Ever since, I've been in every Collection stocker near me, but it seemed to be sold out everywhere! On Saturday i popped into the Superdrug in Meadowhall, they had it, and obviously i bought it!

Firstly, i want to discuss the consistency of the product it's self. It's very creamy, and applies really easily to the lips, however, its not sticky (i find it hard to find a non-sticky budget lipstick, so an extra bonus)! It lasts for hours too, which is great, because you don't have to keep re-applying! The colour itself, as I've already mentioned, is absolutely stunning! I would probably say, its a deep toned red, with the slightest hint of purple. On my lips, 'Seduction' really brings out the white of my teeth, and leaves me looking like i own a set of really pearly whites! 

The packaging, is actually really nice too the outside, is mainly black with a gold pattern on the lid, but inside where the lipstick is, is a really nicely finished gold colour (that doesn't look the slightest bit tacky, like most gold packaging on 'cheap' lipsticks) I also like the fact that there is a representation of the colour on the bottom of the tube, as it makes it so much easier to store! 

If you know Collection, you'll probably know that it's a budget beauty brand, which means that the lipstick really doesn't break the bank! At only £2.99, this is one of the best lipsticks I've tried, in terms of both product and packaging, so i would recommend it to anyone who wants a staple autumn winter lipstick, for such a small price!

Product: 9.6/10      Packaging:8/10    Price:10/10 

I hope you enjoyed today's post!

Autumn trends- Burgundy

I know what your all thinking, "Autumns miles away yet!"

But in reality, Autumn will fly around, and before we know it Christmas will be upon us. Yes i just used the 'C' word in August! But today i thought i'd share with you a bit of knowledge i found on the internet! Apparently, this year burgundy is going to be back with us filling up our wardrobes! In my opinion, burgundy is a real autumnal colour anyway, i reminds me of crackling fires and baubles (and again I've somehow reverted this post back to Christmas!) So i thought i'd share with you a few of my Autumn wants shall we say?

This or That Beauty Tag

Okay, so this is a post that we are both contributing to! Yay! Abbie's answers are in purple And Leanne's answers are in light blue.

Makeup

  Blush or Bronzer:   Definitely I'm naturally quite tanned anyway so i tend to use bronzers as definition Blush, i   hardly ever use bronzer as i find it looks a bit strange as i am so pale.         
  Lip gloss or Lipstick: Lipstick easy! Lipstick, lip gloss is too sticky, my hair always ends up sticking to it :L
  Eye liner or Mascara: I'm going with eyeliner, as i think you can create a better definition! Eyeliner, i agree, it     makes more of an impact!
  Foundation or Concealer: A high coverage Foundation? Can i say that? It will double up as concealer too! I       think foundation, because i sometimes use mine as concealer also.
  Neutral or Color eye shadow: Neutral, you can wear it on an everyday basis! Neutral
  Pressed or Loose eye shadows: Pressed! It doesn't get all messy! Pressed, yup i end up making a big mess   if its loose!
  Brushes or Sponges: Brushes, i especially love the Real Techniques ones! Brushes, i never use a sponge

Nails

  Long or short: Long but neat I actually think they look better when they're quite short

  Acrylic or natural: I think acrylic looks nice for fancy occasions, but natural for everyday. Natural
  Brights or darks : Dark for winter, lights for summer! Bright colours, like pastel blue and purple. I think they         look really pretty!

Body

  perfume or body splash: Perfume for winter, fruity body splashes for summer! I prefer perfume, because its       usually a lot stronger and stays with you all day
  lotion or body butter : Body Lotion It depends, you can get so many nice scents in body butters, but i prefer     to use lotions because they seem to be easier to apply
  body wash or soap : Body wash, soap can clog up your pores! Definitely body wash, i never use soap ever! 

Fashion

  jeans or sweat pants: Jeans! Jeans for going out somewhere but sweatpants for lounging because they're         super comfy!
  long sleeve of short: Short Short
  dresses or skirts: Dresses, there more roomy! Dresses
  scarves or hats: Hats they cover bad hair days! Scarves, i don't think hats suit me
  studs or dangly earrings: Studs! Studs, dangly earrings get in the way and can get uncomfortable
  necklaces or bracelets: Statement Necklaces Necklaces, i agree
  heels or flats : Flats Flats just because they're comfier, although heels can look nice too
  jacket or hoodie: Hoodies! Hoodie

Hair

  curly or straight: Textured! Leanne that isn't one of the answers! I prefer straight on me, but curly hair can look   really nice on others
  bun or ponytail: Bun Long ponytails look nice
  bobby pins or butterfly clips:Bobby Pins, or 'hair grips' in the UK Bobby pins
  hair spray or gel : Hair spray Hair spray, i've never used gel
  long or short :Long Long, but short hair can look pretty

1. The Real Techniques core collection brush set.

2. Rimmel Stay Matte Powder

3. Rimmel Apocolyps

4. Red and gold glitter nail polish

I Heart Drugstore Makeup Tag

Before anyone starts, I know 'tag' videos are usually only done on YouTube... But I thought i'd bend the rules! Let's go!!!! :)

1. What is your favourite drugstore makeup brand?


I really like Rimmel and  Maybelline, I can't really choose between! I have a variety of both brands and there's hardly any I dislike! I also really like MUA and Sleek!

2. What are your favourite face, cheek and lip products?


    I like the MUA cream blushers, natural collection pressed powder and the Rimmel Match Perfection foundation.  I LOVE the Kate Moss lipsticks from Rimmel and the collection lipsticks.

3. Least favourite product?


    Personally, I don't like the MUA pressed powder, I have really oily skin so the product isn't for my skin type. That's not to say, I won't work for you, everybody's skin types are different!!

4. What is the best makeup bargain?


    I think that the MUA pro palette's are amazingly pigmented for the price (£4). The Sleek palettes are really good too!

    

5. What is your favourite underdog product? (Something you love that often gets overlooked?)


    I don't really know if it counts as an 'underdog' product. But the Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation. I think it gets overlooked as in most drugstores, it stands next to the Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation (the infamous foundation, that EVERY 'beauty guru' On YouTube raves about).

6. A drugstore product that is overpriced?

    Definitely Mascara... Its extortionate!  L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara is £10.99, going on for high end prices!  

7. Show your best drugstore dupe(s)

    I haven't personally got my very own 'drugstore dupe' that I've found myself, I do know of one. The MUA Undress me and Undress Me Too palettes are supposedly really good dupes for the Naked 1 & 2 palette!     

8. Drugstore product that isn't worth the hype?

    The Nivea lip butters. They taste nice and there not dreadful. They just don't work for me. I think this product would be much more effective for people with dryer lips than mine! :)

MUA - Intense Kisses

                                                       Kiss & Tell

Okay, so i thought i'd write a quick post about this 'high intensity gloss' for MUA. And wow its well worth its money!  Who can go wrong for £2?              Available here

I don't exactly know how to describe this 'gloss'. Its a cross between a lipstick, lip stain and a lip gloss. Its very long lasting, just like a stain, very high shine, like a lip gloss, and non sticky, just like a lipstick.I know that this lip.... product, has been compared to the Rimmel Apocalips, which a slightly more pricey opition. You can get a brilliant range of colours, some shimmery, some matte, and the best thing theres practically a shade for every skin tone! Bonus! And, sorry for the photography, um well i wanted to get this post up, and there was a storm at the time i was taking the photo, hence the awful background! It can last for a good 2-3 hours, but if your eating take into consideration that this time might be shortened. I've tried this out many times now, and i definitely think is does the job and more for the price. The colours a beautiful, cross between cherry and a dark pink. So if your trying to find a luscious lipstick, then i'd check this out!
