Today I’m excited to have a guest post written by the lovely Bex from Futures, who I’ve met through blogging and has become someone I can call a friend. Bex has an amazing blog so please check it out!
Hello! I’m Bex & I blog over at Futures. I happen to love this lady Lisa a lot – and I mean a lot. She is one of my best blogging friends and I am so happy that she has let me invade her space to talk to you all today! I’m here, sans makeup and dodgy pictures of me ahoy, to review the gorgeous Avon Smitten Red lipstick I got free with this months issue of Marie Claire magazine. I’ve already read and recycled the magazine – which I broke my spending ban for, oops – and had been putting off trying the lipstick for ages, just because it was red.

I don’t know about you but I find myself amongst those hordes of women who think that red lipsticks just don’t suit them. Are you the same? If pushed, I will always opt for a pink or coral tone rather than straying into the path of danger with a bright red. However, I decided to bite the bullet and finally tried it – and was I wowed? I was.
I have always been a fan of Avon lipsticks, having grown up with a mother and grandmother who bought from the catalogue every time they received it! Unfortunately though, I don’t seem to have many in my collection, something I am adamant to change! The casing is super sleek and quite gorgeous – it is different to other lipsticks in my collection and would be easy to find in my handbag. I love that the Avon logo is imprinted into the lipstick too – those little touches really do make a difference.
Yes, you get a picture of me, makeup free with stupid hair, just to show you what this lipstick looks like on. I know I’m not smiling but I looked like a psycho every time I even tried to grin for the camera so a nonchalant expression will have to do. I really do like this colour on me, its quite bright but I actually think it suits me and I do think that I will be using it a lot when it comes to nights out. It is quite creamy and moisturising upon application and didn’t alter once applied. My lips felt incredibly soft and smooth with this on and wear time was roughly 4 hours – not bad for a decent red! It stayed on whilst eating and drinking although did start to slip not long after.
If you are looking for a decent red to add to your collection, look no further – I am truly smitten.

I’m sure if you’ve had a look on my blog recently you will have seen I’ve become addicted to Lush. I don’t know what happened, it’s like one day I just woke up and needed to buy everything from that shop. In fact I even converted two of my friends (who had never been to…
Clinique is a brand I’ve grown up and loved. My mum first bought me some of their skincare items when I was going through my bad teenage skin times, and since then I’ve always felt very loyal to the brand. Despite this I’ve never really used much of their makeup products, only trying out a…
I’ve been a little behind in blogging world recently but a few weeks ago I attended a bloggers tea party hosted by Aqua PR, Ajala Spa, and Sranrom at St Paul’s Grange Hotel with my good blogging friend Louise. I loved the idea of a tea party, and find myself to be bit of a tea…
I was bitten by the nail art bug again recently and wanted to try out something new. I’m still not feeling massively confident about trying out some more complicated designs so I decided to go back to an old favourite, leopard print. Leopard print was the first thing I learnt to do with nail art,…
Today marks the end of my 100 day spending ban challenge – hurrah! If you’ve been keeping up with my update posts you’ll have seen this has been bit of an up and down ban for me, but I’ve learnt a few things when it comes to saving and spending. It’s not been the best of spending…
Lately I’ve got into a bad habit of eating too much rubbish, not doing an exercise, and basically being far too over-indulgent. Christmas is a big part to blame in it, and during the lead up I had a lot of Christmas parties I went to, where I made a lot of bad food choices. I went back to…
