Today, I thought it would be nice to share a makeup look I've been enjoying recently, as it's been a while since I've posted beauty, and I've definitely been enjoying my reflection in the mirror when I've to finish carefully smearing it across my face.

This is a pretty classic look with an orange-red lip and winged liner. It is also very simple and doesn't use too many products.

What do you think?

If you have followed my blog for a while, you will know I'm a lover of lipsticks. Red lips, pink lips, nude lips, purple lips - I'm in. I love the way a lipstick can transform your entire look, and there are so many options.

On my Youtube channel today, I decided to share my lipstick collection with you. I originally I filmed a lipstick clear out - after getting rid of 7 of my 47 lipstick, I'd realised I'd filmed it all on a busted memory card, so frustratingly had to refilm, minus the clear out. But I'm glad I did it, just I've to share them all with you, and I'm really pleased with how it turned out.

I thought I'd write a blog post with the lipstick details and notes on, so you have all the info you need.


The Nudes
- Marc Jacobs Enamoured Hi-Shine Gloss in 316 French Tickler (£22) - I know this is technically a gloss, but it's the only gloss I have so thought it was worth a mention. It's virtually a clear gloss. Not at all sticky, comfortable to wear and minty.
- Soap and Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Gloss Stick in Nudist (£3.50) - Hydrating and Comfortable to Wear. More details in this post.
- Kylie Cosmetics Matte Liquid Lip in Candy K (17usd -it's also worth taking shipping costs into consideration if you're UK based like me) - Would recommend using a liner (I bought the lip kit). A little drying but really long-lasting. More details in this post.
- Estee Lauder Signature Lipstick - 09 Venetian Rose (discontinued sorry!)
- Rimmel Lasting Finish Kate Moss Lipstick in 38 (£5.50) - I wouldn't say it's really got much of a lasting finish
- MAC Matte Velvet Teddy (£16.50) - One of my favourite nudes. Fairly long-lasting without being too drying. Full post here
- Chanel Rouge Coco in 402 Adrienne (£28) - Hydrating and comfortable to wear. One of my favourite nudes.
- Charlotte Tilbury Sexy Sienna (£24)
- MAC Matte Whirl (£16.50) - One of my favourite darker nude shades. Long-lasting and comfortable to wear. Full post here.
-Marc Jacobs Le Marc Lip Creme in 230 J'Adore (£25) - This is my favourite lipstick formula - really long-lasting and hydrating - This is also one of my most worn colours.

The Pinks
- MAC Satin Pink Nouveau (£16.50)

I'm about to make a pretty big statement...I have a new absolute favourite lipstick. It's pretty on-trend at the moment, so maybe this won't last forever, but for the last few months I have been unable to put it down, I've literally worn it most days. Considering I used to be pretty big into red lips, this is a big deal that I'm getting so much wear out of a nude.

The shade is MAC Whirl. I wrote about MAC Velvet Teddy (blogpost here) a while back, as it was the first nude I'd found which I really felt suited me. I'd say the shade Whirl is a very similar brown nude, however, it is a shade darker. It has a matte finish which looks amazing and makes it super long-lasting. I find I hardly need to reapply this lipstick, even when I don't use a liner (as shown in these pictures).

I thought I would share a make up look I have been enjoying lately. It's a simple gold eye with a pop of colour along the lower lash line.

I'm no make up expert, so I'm simply going to tell you what products I used, rather than how I created the look because I'm sure that's pretty self explanatory, and I'm not so sure you would want to copy the look I've gone for completely - however you may be interested to hear what product I used.

Despite having no plans a few days back, I decided to put on a full face of makeup, mainly because I felt crappy and I sometimes I find the better I look, the better I feel (plus who want to cry off expensive mascara, and winged eyeliner which is basically an art form when you get it right?!). Now I'm not the greatest at doing my makeup but I thought I'd share the look with you nonetheless as it's slightly different to what I'd usually go for.

• Rimmel 230 Red Fever - it's a high street blue toned classic red shade. I really like the smell of these lipsticks,  however, they do feel quite 'cheap' on your lips.
• Maxfactor  715 Ruby Tuesday - I've hardly used this lipstick since having it, however, I do love the shade, I just always forget I have it, but I am definitely going to try to start using this a bit more. Once again this is just a classic red shade, but slightly brighter than the previous lipstick.
• Seventeen lipstick, I'm not sure of the shade as it's rubbed off - However, it's a pink-toned red.
• Rimmel Kate Moss  31 - one of my more used high street lipsticks, it's in a muted berry colour and also smells delicious
• Rimmel another one I'm unsure of the shade name, sorry! - this is a pretty pastel pink colour with a small amount of glitter in it, this is one of the first lipsticks I ever fell in love with, and the colour is perfect if you're just beginning to wear makeup as it is still fairly natural-looking.
• Rimmel Provocalips Kiss me you fool - firstly how cute is the shade name of this lipstick? This is my most recent lip purchase and I've got to say I love this, it's super long-lasting and the bright red colour is perfect for the Christmas season, the only downside is it is slightly drying. I'm planning to write an entire blog post on this product soon so keep an eye out for that!
