How I do a red lip ♥

 Hello Lovelies. 

With the festive season in full swing I thought I would share with you how I do a Red lip, I know working with Red lipstick can be an absolute pig sometimes but heres a few tips which I hope can help. 

Prepping the lips

The most important step when working with lipstick especially bold colours.

Exfoliate

 I swear by the Lush lip scrubs I think they are amazing, I apply a little amount to my finger and gently massage in a circular motion on my lips for about 30 seconds I then remove the excess.

Moisturise.

I like to use a really moisturising lip balm on my lips and these 2 are my favourites to use especially Honey Trap from lush it smells amazing!! After I have exfoliated my lips I literally cake on one of these  balms, I then leave it to sit and absorb while I do the rest of my face, when its time to move on to my lips I just remove any excess which hasn't been absorbed. 

Application. 

Liner.

When doing red lips lipliner is a must, It helps keep the lipstick in place so it won't bleed out and makes it longer lasting on the lips, it also gives a nice sharp look. The liner pictured is Macs 'Redd' (one of my faves). I outline my lips first and then roughly fill them in with the liner. 

Ruby Woo. 

I think Macs Ruby Woo is just the best red lipstick, I love the colour it's so rich and vibrant, I also love the formula and the finish. The formula is extremely matte which in turn makes it quite difficult to apply. I never apply lipstick straight from the bullet to my lips I always apply some to a lip brush first, I think you get neater more precise results this way. After I have applied my lipstick I then take a concealer brush with a tiny amount of concealer on it and just run it around the out line of my lips just to really sharpen the look up I also apply highlighter to my cupids bow and then thats me finished :) 

Brushes used.

AOFM lip brush for lipstick application and a MAC 195 for the concealer. 

 Thank you for reading and I hope you have enjoyed my post. Please leave me your comments I always read and reply to your comments and appreciate every single one I get :) Have a lovely weekend dolls loads of love

Lush - Twilight Bath Bomb ♥

Hello Lovelies. 

With winter etching closer and the days getting colder what better time to indulge in some gorgeous treats from Lush to accompany you in those nice hot baths. I hadn't treated myself to anything from Lush for a while and when I was in London on Sunday I walked past a shop and couldn't resist a little look. 

Todays post is on Twilight one of the four bath bombs I purchased. It's a beauty. 

I was drawn to Twilight like a moth to a flame because... yep you guessed it its PINK and also it smelt amazing, really sweet but also therapeutic if that makes any sense. While the pink is fizzing away it blasts out an amazing bright blue colour and a load of glitter, if you're not glitter obsessed like me this might not be the bath bomb for you. Once its all fizzed it leaves your bath a blue colour and FULL of glitter...AMAZING!!! The bath bomb left my skin feeling so soft, it obviously contains oils as it made my skin all waterproof if you know what I mean?! I will definitely be repurchasing this little beauty.

Lush Haul ♥

 

Hello my lovelies I hope your all having a lovely weekend.

As my post title suggests I've been shopping wahooooo, I shouldn't of really as I am desperately trying to save all my pennies for my holiday next month but I just couldn't help myself and it is with good reason that I went. I am having an absolute mare with my skin recently and its really getting me down, everyday a new spot seems to rear its ugly head, I think its down to me feeling a little under the weather and also I have been chopping and changing my foundations a lot recently so its probably my skins way of saying GIVE ME A BREAK!!! I decided I was going to treat my skin to some luxury and I have read so many rave reviews about Lush products, I have used their famous bath bombs and shower gels in the past but never any face products, so off I went, The lady who served me was an absolute sweetheart, so soo nice. She asked me what kind of  problems I was having with my skin and spent a good half an hour with me testing all the different products and talking me through them in detail 10/10 for customer service :)

 

Here's my haul...

 

 

First off we have the 9-5 Cleansing Lotion 

"A simple yet beautiful liquid facial cleanser for those times when you’re in a hurry and need to just cleanse and go. We make this by steeping fresh dove orchids in almond oil overnight – then strain the petals out and use the infused oil as the base for this cleanser. Contains a lovely light fragrance of honeysuckle and ylang ylang". This cleanser claims to cleanse and clear the skin, I have seen a lot of posts on this saying how amazing it is for problem skin so fingers crossed it can help me.

 

Secondly we have Grease Lightning

"Spot Treatment, Strikes the spot with lightning precision This is for those times when something erupts on your face and you just need it gone as soon as possible. Grease Lightning is a clever combination of natural ingredients that attack spots without taking it out on the rest of your skin". The lady who served me said this was one of her favourite products and said it works amazingly well so again fingers crossed.

Thirdly we have Tea Tree Water

"Toner Water Comes to the aid of skin that has emergencies, Tea tree is a wonder oil for anyone with oily or spot prone skin. It has antibacterial, antiseptic and antimicrobal properties.

Where the skin needs balancing, where there are spots, gentle tea tree is just the job". This sounds perfect for me and its super easy to use as you just spritz it all over your face when needed even over make-up ladies, winner!!

 

At number 4 we have Catastrophe Cosmetic Fresh face mask 

"Stops you making a mountain out of a molehill, you know those times when you get one or two spots and it throws you into panic? Well, this mask is here to lend you a bit of perspective, to tell you to calm down, it’s not the end of the world and it’s nothing that can't be sorted. Basically, this is your best mate in a pot". I love the sound of this face mask, just what I need and I also cant express how amazing it smells!!!! I kinda want to eat it haha!

 

Okay so my last 2 products are not for my problem skin but I was drawn to them like a moth to a flame because well.. one is bright pink and the other one is glittery!!

 

Okay so we have BubbleGum Lip Scrub

 

 

How amazingly pink is this im in love, so this is an exfoliator for the lips, again I have seen so many rave reviews on this product, it smells amazing and makes an amazing base for lipstick. In the words of lush "scrub and buff your lips to softness, lick off the excess then apply your favourite Lush lip balm".

 

Lastly we have Sweetie Pie Shower Jelly

 

 

Its soooooo glittery!!! I was really intrigued by this product not only does it look really cool it smells amazing, you use this just like a bar of soap I thought it would dissolve or fall apart but it doesn't at all as the lady demonstrated it to me in a bowl of water, im looking forward to using this jelly.

 

So there's my haul I really hope these products can come to my rescue and help out my skin. I will do a Full review on the products after I have used them for a while so stay tuned for that. Thank you for reading, please leave me your comments I always reply to them. Do you like Lush? What are your favourite Lush Products?
