Dior.

I've got to admit I'm not usually one for spending a large amount of money on a single item, particularly with makeup. As far as money goes, I try to get the most out of what I have. Extravagant pieces, whether it be fashion or makeup related, are never usually on my radar, with the exception of this fabulous Dior Lipstick. Beauty related posts are also something that I wouldn't be into that much, as I've mentioned before. However, on the rare occasion that I do find a makeup item that I adore, sometimes they're just too good not to rave about!

This fabulous product has gorgeous deep blue and black packaging with the Christian Dior initials at the top. Let's be honest, the packaging is probably the real reason why I went for this lipstick. As for as the consistency of this product goes, it's not unlike Mac. Having said that, red lipstick and I, don't always see eye to eye. I'm pretty picky with them. Considering I don't have nice teeth anyway and the fact that they're not sparkling white makes me a little weary to wear any pinky, orange, red toned lipstick as it just makes my teeth look worse. So if I do buy a red lipstick, I always look out for blue toned red lippies. This way you're less likely to get that orange-y toned lip colour and is also why I love this lipstick so much!

It's a hefty price, no doubt, but think of it as an investment piece. If you're a lipstick person then why not treat yourself?! It's the perfect look for when you're in a rush! Hassle free!

What's your most expensive beauty item?

Current Drugstore Faves.

Decided to do a bit of a beauty post today. Summer holidays have just began so hopefully, I will be able to post a lot more from now on. 

Catrice:
This is a brand that doesn't seem to get much attention, but in my opinion is pretty comparable to  it's more expensive counterparts. Others have compared this concealer to being as good as Mac. It covers and hides blemishes really well and blends into the skin naturally while the powder sets any concealer without making it cake your darker.

Kiko:
I spotted this brand while away on a trip in Italy.everything was reasonable priced and looked amazing. However I wasn't able to buy everything so I limited myself to a few items, two of which are the 30 day treatment Mascara and the Kiss balm in Blackberry. Generally I wouldn't be too keen on balms or lipgloss or anything like that, I usually prefer a lipstick or nude lip.However, this 
smelled devine! And actually adds a decent amount of colour 
particularly for a balm! The mascara does what any mascara is supposed to do. However I would say it lengthens the lashes more then anything.

Maybelline:
This is a great dupe to Mac's paint pots. The consistency is the same and it goes on like a dream. This is in the shade 'on and on bronze' . Personally I think this works great with blue/green eyes!

Mac

Believe it or not, this is my first Mac lipstick. I can definitely say I wish I tried them earlier. The consistency is amazing and they last as long as a lipstick will, in my opinion. I don't think that staying power is a huge factor with lipsticks considering I continually eat and drink when wearing it! I wouldn't expect a lipstick to stay completely intact the whole time. This particular one is called "Morange" which I originally fell in love with on Lauren Curtis Youtube channel "LaurenBeauty". I'll leave a link to her channel below! 

It is an amazing orange-ish colour and looks stunning with neutral eyeshadow. For me this was a pretty bold choice. Up untill now, I didn't wear lipstick a lot, if  I did it would be mainly dark colours, so this is a pretty bright colour for me. 
               My only problem with this lipstick is that you must have relatively white teeth to wear it, well in my opinion. I havent got amazinly white teeth by no means! but i would scrub my teeth like crazy before wearing this lipstick. I feel this applies for all pink/red toned lipsticks.This is probably why i tend to wear dark lipsticks!
I am defiantly open to trying more mac lipsticks though, so any recommendations are welcome!

What's your favorite mac lipstick? 

Marco Polo

Dress,Polo neck+rings-Pennys(Primark)//Boots-River Island//Lipstick- Mac Morange

Just a few bits and bobs I've picked up lately. Since it's starting to get pretty chilly i decided it would be a good idea to get some umber-comfy polo neck jumper, and what better place to pick up these fab basics than  Pennys! They have a tonne in at the moment, along with a 'gizillion' different colours! They're actually pretty good material especially considering the price.( €6 each.. bargain!) 

The boots, I featured in my previous post, they're so chunky and add an edge to any outfit. The dress is also another gem from Penny's. It was in the sale reduced to €7, and with the cute daisy print i couldn't resist! Can't wait to style these!

Thanks for stopping by!

Rimmel London- Kate Moss Matte Lipstick Collection.

Hi everyone, hope you're all well, I decided to do a quick lipstick review as these have been my current 'go to' lipsticks recently.  Im not quite sure how long ago Rimmel released this collection, but i know it's not new. I'm  sure most lipstick lovers have tryed these already and considering they're so cheap i would recommend anyone giving them ago. I got mine from Boots for around €7.00, which I think is pretty descent!

 The shades I have are are quite different. One is perfect and light for summer , the other is quite dark and more suited for winter, in my opinion. However I love both equally. I'm someone who just isn't into lipgloss (never have been) so when I seen that this lipstick was matte it was a bonus! 

 

                                            (Left)-101, (Right)-107.

The pigment in both these colours is quite strong. There's also no bad taste with theses lipsticks. Often I find that drugstore lipsticks can have a pretty bad taste, but these are grand. However they do have a fragrance, but I actually like it. For some reason the baby pink lipstick has a stronger smell than the burgundy one! They both smell like typical lipsticks I quess, but the pink lipstick has a hint of sweets off it! 

    

Overall I would recommend these to anyone, even if your not sure weather or not you'd like the matte, just go for it. They are most definatly worth the price! Don't forget to follow!
