Review: Natural Collection Moisture Lipstick in Rose Petal

Natural Collection Moisture Shine Lipstick
in Rose Petal

Cost: about £1.99

My Thoughts: This is a little more difficult to wear than my Candy Mist one. It has more of a cream finish than a shimmer so if you have chapped lips it's going to cling to it all. Colour wise - it is a beautiful coral colour that can be layered up to make a statement lip or applied nice and sheer for more of an everyday look. Again, it isn't super moisturising and doesn't last all that long.

Where you can buy:
Boots

Would i re-purchase: yes :)

Overall Score: 8/10

February Favourites

I'm soo proud of myself for remembering to do this post :) I always forget to do monthly favourites :)

Avon Liquid Freeze Spray - How did i ever live without a quick drying spray?? I love this soo much and it makes painting my nails soo much quicker and easier :)

Nars Orgasm Blush - I feel like i've used this a lot this month, and now i have an angled brush i find it much easier to apply :)

China Glaze in Camisole - So i only get this about 2 or 3 days ago but i love it already. The consistency is fabulous and the colour is going to be perfect for school :)

Gosh Darling Lipstick - I find this much easier to apply that MAC's Myth lipstick and it's nice to wear in the daytime

Rimmel Clear Lipstick - I think i'm on my third tube of this now. I love it. It's perfect for when i don't want to use carmex and get lip balm all over my fingers

YSL EverLong Mascara - I recently did a review on this but it is currently scheduled so keep an eye out for it :)

Avon Angled Blush Brush - Used it every day since i got it and i think it makes applying any cheek product a billion times easier :)

Bourjois 10 Hour Sleep Effect Foundation - It's lovely and light and feels fresh and i love the smell of it. I also have a review scheduled for this

Vlog - Day 7: Road Trip :)



Me and my dad took a trip to Bolton and then to Bradford to pick up some things. Enjoy. There isn't a huge amount of talking because i still find Vlogging embarrassing :)

Review: Gosh Velvet Touch Lipstick in Darling (134)

Gosh Velvet Touch Lipstick
in Darling (134)

Cost: i think it was £6.00

My Thoughts: This lipstick has been given A LOT if hype on the internet so i was always a little sceptical to buy it in case it didn't live up to my expectations. This i kind of like what i wanted Mac's Myth to be, a lovely nude colour that is really soft to apply and doesn't require a gloss or balm to make is nice and shiney :) However, i don't know of i would class it as my HG nude lipstick. It doesn't last all that long (but i think that might just be my lips not the lipsticks fault) and when its gone, it can leave my lips slightly dry :(

Where you can buy:
Superdrug

Would i re-purchase: Yes :)

Overall Score: 8/10

The Month In Covers - March

This is my second instalment of the Month In Covers posts i am starting to do :) It is basically where i give my opinion on the cover picture each magazine has chosen for this month. It is ok if you disagree with me, i expect some people will, because this is a complete opinion based post :)

Vogue
I dont like. I think it's bland and boring. And im not really a fan of Alexa Chung. I like her style and stuff but i just dont like her as a cover star for Vogue.

Vanity Fair

An issue like this comes out every year. It showcases the new talent in Hollywood and i've always wanted to buy Vanity Fair just for these issues :) I really dont like how Kristen Stewart and Anna Kendrick are laid, but i do like the colours everyone is wearing and the grass background

US Elle
This issue is technically from February, but because it can take a long time to ship magazines overseas, i havent seen the March issue in my shop yet :( Overall i dont really like this picture. I think Jennifer looks really pretty, but there is ALOT on show

Teen Vogue
I think this i really pretty. It is very teen appropriate and i love Mia's dress. I think maybe the pose is a little boring, but i still really like the cover as a whole

Nylon
I've been really bored with Nylon recently. There is just not much that jumps out and grabs my attention any more Also, i'm not a fan of The Vampire Diaries so this cover didn't really excite me. I do however really like what Nina is wearing

Marie Claire
I really like Nicole Richie and i really like her pose in this picture, i just don't really like the white shirt with that skirt. Other than that, i think its good :)

InStyle
LOVE IT. I love Leighton. I love Burberry. I love lilac as a March colour. I just really like everything about this :) Well done InStyle :) I think i would have just toned down her eye make-up.

Harper's Bazaar
I love this issue too. The picture of Cindy is fabulous :) I love covers with the big 80's - 90's SuperModels on!

Glamour
Meh. I dont like Dannii, but i love her McQueen dress!

Elle
I think Liv has great style. And i love her hair. And the fact that the cover is grey :) One again Elle have impressed me :D

Canadian Vogue
I still view Rachel McAdams as the bitchy girl out of Mean Girls but i think she looks really elegant in this picture. I would have preferred something little more playful maybe

Vlog - Day 3-6: Study Room Pictures


I actually remembered to take my camera to school with me for once so i got a little pit of footage of my shopping for my lunch in town :) haha

I would really appreciate idea's of certain things to film that you are interested in. It really can be anything. I'm hoping that once the weather starts to improve i can maybe film a day on the beach or at the park or something.
