Well Spring is finally here and the sunshine is pretty glorious in Newcastle , and whenever the suns out I always have the overwhelming sense to start looking after my presentation a bit more , eat a bit healthier , even exercise a little bit more! Off i went to boots and since its 3 for 2 i bought 2 products:
-Garnier Micellar cleansing water £4.98 - everyone seems to be on about it so I joined the hype too ( it also helped that i really needed a new cleanser after sleeping for a eek in my makeup) anyways , I understand what the hype was about, it is just gentle , no stinging eyes or lips , it just takes everything off! A Great cleanser , I followed it with my usual Kiehls cleanser and oh lord my skin is just so so so soft now and i haven't even moisturised yet!
-Dove Summer glow £4.98 ( his also half price at super drug atm but since i was doing 3 for 2 it worked out cheaper) In our house I'm the palest of them all and I really don't usually go for fake tans because I honestly think people just get a bit too fake tan happy. Buttttt i'm really missing my ibiza tan from last summer , I want to keep my subbed use to a minimum for my health and to top it off my housemates been using this and she looks AMAZING , i can't overemphasise how golden she looks , she also promised it was super easy to put on with a no streak effect. Ive just applied it and it doesn't smell too bad ( still that tiny hint of biscuits) it is a little bit tacky so give yourself plenty of time to apply, it seems to be super moisturising but we'll have to wait and see what colour i come out! ( You can also get a lighter version for you super pale girls out there
-Balmi lipbalm (in mint flavour) this was kind of an impulse extra as my lips are in awful condition from all the matte lipsticks i wear , I grabbed the mint flavour and gave it a whirl and I'm nor sure how i feel about it - I kind of wish i bough coconut or raspberry if I'm honest although it does give a nice tingle. I'd say it's a little bit greasy , nothing on carmex and I probably won't buy again but I will use it regardless!

Anybody that knows me will understand that over the past few months i have become an absolute lipstick FIEND. I love them I've completely fell hard for them (and became a liiiiiittle bit of a lipstick snob while I'm at it) I just think they're a fantastic way of looking like a lady. Personally I've found I prefer matte lipsticks and therefore lip care is essential because holy hell they really dry your lips out.
For everyday I tend to lean towards carmex for lip care , a little bit less oily than vaseline, and I love the tingle. For when i'm wearing lipstick I stick Macs prep + prime on and although i can say it's pretty good I really wouldn't mind some suggestions on alternative as i find it a little bit greasy.
I tend to lean towards MAC products in general and for lips theres no exceptions my collection so far includes :
- Please Me (Matte) - great summer/spring colour and goes perfectly with girly outfits for me
- Russian Red (Matte) -probably my favourite - its the stereotypical bright red lipstick that i just love
- Diva (Matte) -great winter lipstick and very much in with the kind of goth vibe thats going on right now without being too extreme its a dark rich red colour
-Up the Amp ( A welcome birthday addition from the collection)- This ones not matte , and i regularly can put it on without a primer , its quite creamy , i'd say its a more extreme version of please me. Sassy
I also bought a topshop lip bullet in bewitched as an alternative to diva for this seasons vamp look. It's bang on trend although it is pretty dark which is intimidating and definitely not for everyday. The only thing is , I just don't feel that the colour lasts that long, it wipes off way too easily !?
Opinions on your favourite lipsticks ?
