'A Pink Dream'

Hi everyone,

So posts have been non-existent this week due to a lot of work (sorry!), but I thought I would just show you a few products I picked up a few weeks ago.

The first is the most amazing lip colour - the Maybelline Color Sensational Vivids Collection lipstick in 'Fuchsia Flash', which I believe is Mollie King from The Saturdays lipstick.

 

 

 

I was so impressed with not only the beautiful colour, but for a £7.19 lipstick the formula of this is really good, very similar to the Revlon Lip Butters which I am obssessed with. The image makes it look a bit washed out, but it is very bright in the flesh, so definitely not for the faint hearted! It lasts for a long time too - I only re-apply once a day after eating which is perfect. It's just one less thing to think about in the day!
 

 

 

The packaging again is very similar to the Revlon Lipbutters, but it is a little confusing, as the colour of the packaging is not the same as the colour of the lipstick - so make sure you check that first! Honestly, I can't sing the praises of this lipstick enough, so definitely try it if you get the chance - it's a lovely festive bright statement lip colour!

 

The next two products I brought (again '3 for 2' - why can't I resist a deal!) were two of their Color Show nail varnishes one in 'Fuchsia Fever' and the other in 'Iced Queen'. These are only £2.99, so I wasn't expecting much, but I was actually so surprised how good these were.

 

 

The gorgeous purple colour may not be to everyone's taste, but I think it looks lovely, and the image was just two coats of nail varnish; it dried pretty quickly and did not chip at all until I removed it nearly two weeks later - not even an exaggeration! So for £2.99 these would be perfect stocking fillers, and 3 for 2, you could give one to a friend and then keep two for yourself!

 

 

The second one is Iced Queen and it did need a few more coats than the other polish, but, again, for £2.99 you can't complain. I wouldn't necessarily recommend this as a good white nail polish, but if you need a cheap alternative this is pretty good!

I hope you enjoyed this little beauty review and I'm going to the Clothes Show this weekend so expect to see some photos!

 

Love
