NARS Larger Than Life Lipgloss - Odalisque ♥

Happy Friday my loves, hope you all have a lovely weekend planned. Todays post is about my latest NARS purchase. Now I have said this a million times before but il just say it again…NARS is my all time favourite make-up brand, if I was rich I would own everything they sell…but I'm not so I don't booooo hoooo. When I was last in Space NK this lipgloss caught my eye so I decided to treat myself ;). 

Odalisque is a vibrant peachy/Orange colour with a very creamy and somewhat milky finish. Its a very thick gloss but I have found it doesn't feel overly tacky on the lips like some other thick glosses do. It feels moisturising on the lips even after the colour has worn off which is nice. Odalisque offers a semi opaque colour on the lips, If wearing this alone you will need at least 2 layers to really be able to see the vibrancy of this lipgloss. Its super glossy with a high shine finish, it makes the lips appear really plumped up and full. Odalisque is an unscented lipgloss. 

Let me move on to the applicator brush. Its tiny, the smallest lipgloss brush I have ever seen. The pros to this is it gives precise application. The cons being with such a small brush it takes a while to cover the lips, its defiantly not a swipe and go lipgloss, a little more care is needed when applying. 

I have been pairing this gloss with my MAC coral bliss lipstick (review here) and let me just tell you its a match made in lip heaven. The colours work so well together and popping Odalisque over the top of Coral Bliss really just makes it pop. LOVEEE IT.

Below is a picture of me wearing the lipgloss.

I really like this Lipgloss it works well on its own as well as layered with a lipstick, the formula is lovely and I love how it feels and make the lips look.

REVIEW // MAC Costa Chic Lipstick ♥

Hello lovelies I am here today with yet another lipstick, god I seriously don't know whats wrong with me at the moment lipstick obsessed. As we are now in spring and summer is that little bit closer I decided to treat myself to a summery lipstick (thats a good excuse right). I went for MAC's Costa Chic. 

Costa Chic is a gorgeously vibrant coral colour. It is one of MAC's frosted lipsticks which I must admit frightened me a little at first as I had images of looking like an 80's throwback but alas, the frosting is super subtle and in fact quite unnoticeable when the lipstick is applied lightly. I have found the best way to apply this is to pop a single layer straight from the bullet to the lips and work it in with my fingers. 

Costa Chic is wonderfully pigmented so one swipe is more than enough for a bright, even application. It glides effortlessly on to the lips. On first application it feels really moisturising, however after a few hours wear it can begin to feel quite drying, but fear not a little lip balm fixes this no problemooo. I have found the wear time to be around 4 or so hours however it does leave a coral tint to the lips. I don't really feel the need to constantly keep reapplying this lipstick because of the fact is does leave a tint to the lips. As I mentioned above, when it does begin to wear off pop a little balm or coral gloss on to the lips for an instant revamp. 

Costa Chic is such a perfect summer shade, it instantly brightens up your face. I think this lipstick is an all rounder when it comes to skin tones, as I have said before I am very pale and it still looks nice on me so I can only imagine how it would look on darker skin tones!! 

As Costa Chic is such a vibrant colour I think it would work best with neutral eye make-up, it would also look gorgeous with a simple winged liner. 

I hope you have enjoyed my post. Do you own Costa Chic?! My next MAC lipstick purchase will have to be Coral Bliss I think. Please leave me your comments below or you can tweet me over at @Tiffsbeautyboxx. Thank you for reading. 

Lots of love xxx
