Revlon Colour Burst Balms

How beautiful are these new Revlon lipbalms! I am such a fan of these crayon lipsticks and since I love the bourjois paris colour boost lip crayon  collection, I decided to try the new Revlon balms.

I bought 3 colours, two of which are matte balms and the other a lacquer balm. 

The matte balms are a triple butter complex of Shea, Coconut and Mango butters making it a rich moisturizing balm with a velvety matte look. There are 10 colours in this collection, all of which are gorgeous in my opinion, I opted for Showy ( a deep fuchsia pink)and Elusive (a neutral tone).

The other collection is again, a balm with a triple butter complex but with a high shine lacquer finish! I purchased one in the colour Demure. 

Just realised I forgot the 'e' on the end of matt(e) oopsie!

Firstly I would like to say how impressed I am with these and I found it so hard to decide on which colours to buy! As shown Showy is a deep fuchsia pink but in no way is it over powering, Elusive is beautiful blue under toned pink with a slight hint of coral and Demure a glittery neutral shade. 

The texture is perfect and leaves a smooth satin finish with just one application! The pigment of these are amazing and they have yet to make my lips feel dry. One thing I do love about these is that you don't feel like you are wearing any lip product. They are so lightweight, with no sticky or glossy texture and have a lovely subtle hint of peppermint. 

Big thumbs up for Revlon!! :)

MAC: Nicki Minaj Viva Glam

Yesterday just reminded me how much I love summer and how spring is nearly round the corner. I was going through my makeup bag and completely forgot about my Nicki Minaj lipstick! I have a confession to make.. the only reason I received this was because I am a huge Nicki Minaj fan so anything Nicki related would make me over the moon. 

At first I was shocked at the colour, there was no way I would be able to pull it off, however it actually looks lovely on! Yes it is very bright and maybe not for everyone but the colour seems to work very well with my skin tone and the coral shade makes it perfect for brightening any outfit or makeup look. 

It is a vibrant medium pink with subtle yellow undertones, giving it this beautiful coral colour with a satin finish. This means it has only a natural sheen with no gloss or shimmer to it and only needs one coat, applied evenly, to give you beautiful summery lips! 

I loveee this lipstick and I would happily say it is my favourite mac lipstick I have in my collection. The texture as well as the smell is perfect and its super lasting!

Top 5 Perfumes

Every Christmas and every birthday without fail I (and probably the majority) will receive a new perfume. I feel like perfumes aren't something you buy for yourself hence why if I don't know what I want I'll just say a 'new perfume please'. With this in mind, here are my top 5 perfumes that I adore and are always on my gifts list:

1// Chloe 2// Chloe Roses 3// Miss Dior 4//Marc Jacobs Eau So Fresh 5// Benefit Lee Lee

 1/ Chloe: I could say sooo much about this perfume, it is absolutely beautiful and smells so chic. I'm not the best at describing smells but i'll do my best. It's has a strong floral scent (by strong I mean it'll last on your clothes for days) with a musky undertone. It can be slightly over powering but you will get lots of compliments I can assure you. I love everything about this perfume and the bottle with a cute ribbon is so classy. 

2/ Chloe Roses: This has been my 'go to' perfume at the moment! Just like the original Chloe, Chloe Roses offers a strong floral scent with an added freshness of roses, leaving you smelling lovely and elegant! It isn't as overpowering as the original hence why I am more likely to wear this during the day, and the original for evening do's. 

3/ Miss Dior Eau De Parfum: This is a timeless floral fragrance in my opinion and am probably most likely to wear this in the evenings/clubbing. It is bold and elegant with a soft woody undertone. I 100% would recommend this to anyone, its a classic!!

4/ Marc Jacobs Eau So Fresh: Unlike the top 3, this is my day wear scent. It is a bright, sparkling fruity-floral scent which isn't over powering and leaves me feeling fresh.

5/ Benefit Laugh with me Lee Lee: I don't know about you but I really am not a fan of the majority of Benefits perfume collection but Laugh with me Lee Lee is a perfume I have worn for several years now. Its a woody floral scent consisting of light blend of citrus, jasmine and lily blossoms making it a naturally light and classy fragrance. It's so beautiful and has a surprisingly long staying power! P.s how adorable is the packaging.
