So a while a go I found myself in Boots swatching away at lipsticks when suddenly one of them caught my eye. It was the perfect deep pinky lavandery shade, without any shimmer or frost. It just stood out to me from all the other lipstick shades on my hand, Rimmel London’s Vintage Pink, I had to have it.
Now the poor student in me started to think, do I REALLY need another lipstick? So I put the lipstick back and carried on with the rest of my day. As I carried on walking around town I kept looking longingly at the back of my hand at the beautiful shade, and so I went back to Boots and bought it. Finally we were together the shade I’ve been searching my whole life for (okay slightly over exaggerating, but you get the point).
So yes it’s love for me on this lipstick. As it’s from the Rimmel London Moisture Renew range, it glides on so well as well as keeping my lips from feeling dry. It’s also got a slight blue undertone to it, so it keeps your teeth looking white and shiny. I find it also stays on the lips for hours, and since buying this it’s been my lipstick of choice for nights out. I normally go for ‘play it safe’ colours when it comes to lipsticks, and although this one isn’t a very bold or bright colour, it’s unlike any of my others and quite a daring shade for me. And best part about this lipstick? It only cost me the bargain price of £6.29! I actually don’t think I’ve worn another lipstick since I bought this, certainly a new favourite.
I recently made my first Models Own purchase! On the Models Own website you save £7 when you buy 5 nail varnishes. Normally at £5 per nail varnish I thought this was a great deal so I treated myself to 5 new polishes and a new lip balm. From left to right: Purple Mystique, Pure Purple,…

I really like this post and will take on board Lucy’s recommendations if I go to a festival! I’m trying my hand at something new here – not usually a beauty blogger but I’m always up for a challenge and…
Recently I’ve been thinking more about the sorts of chemicals and parabens I’m putting into my body. I’m generally trying to be a lot healthier, and it can be a little scary when you look up what some of the chemicals that are in your shampoo’s etc can do! I have fairly sensitive skin, particularly…
Recently Kat from Tales Of A Pale Face organised an autumn blog swap and I was quick to put my name down for it. I was then paired up with the lovely Tasha from Wand Included. After a few emails we agreed on a budget to spend on each other, and had told each other our…
Having been a makeup addict for years now, you’d think I’d be quite good at it by now right? Well to be honest there are so many parts of makeup application I’m rubbish at, contouring being one of them. For years I’ve been trying to master it, just giving myself dark dirty looking marks on…
Until about a month ago, I was a fake tan virgin. I’d never used the stuff and I was living in my pale little world. Since getting advice off all you lovely’s on Twitter I decided to give fake tan a go. Well I say fake tan, but I’ve only actually used gradual tanning moisturisers…
