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.

The other day I had my alarm set for 7am and could be found refreshing my Twitter feed constantly from 6.45am. Why? Because Jane from British Beauty Blogger released the BBB Edit Box 2! I blogged back in August about how I loved the first one and I couldn’t wait until Jane brought out the…
Woah when did this year go past so fast? I swear yesterday we were seeing in the new year, and now it’s already 6 months through it! Although May is my favourite month, as it’s my birthday in May! Also I’ve noticed I haven’t done a ‘favourites’ post in about 6 months – crazy. Need…
Today is my first day back to work after two lovely weeks off over Christmas. While I was on my annual leave I didn’t really wear much make up, especially as a lot of the time I was at home doing nothing. It was nice to give my skin bit of a break for a…
Hi everyone! As the title of the blog suggests I have some news. That’s right, Lisahh-Jayne is now on Youtube! After much umming and ahhing and some really positive responses on Twitter I decided to give it a whirl. I’m completely new to the whole videoing myself lark, so this first video isn’t very amazing, and I’m having…
During the cold winter months my skin really starts to suffer. It becomes dry, sore, and I often get horrible flaky bits of skin. Going from cold to warm all the time really starts to play a toll on my skin, so during the colder months I like to step up my skincare game, and…
Sleep is something that I’ve struggled with for as long as I can remember. It takes me ages to drift off to sleep, and I often wake up numerous times in the night. I find I get a better nights sleep when I’m in a routine, and I’ve found a couple of products that can help me…
