Lipstick Collection.

Wednesday, 21 June 2017




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)
- Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet 37 L'Exubérante (£28) - Comfortable to wear and hydrating for a matte finish.

- Too Faced Melted Liquified Lipstick in Peony (£19)
- NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Stockholm (£6)

https://shopstyle.it/l/be5Tg (£30)

MAC Matte Lady Danger (£16.50)- Another one of my favourite orange-red lipsticks. Full post here
Kiko Intensely Lavish Lipstick in 03 - Smudges easily - would recommend using a liner with it.

MAC Ruby Woo (£16.50) - Very long-lasting but also quite drying
Bourjois Rouge Velvet 20 Poppy Days (£8.99) - Full post here
Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick in 08 Tesoro (£16) - It actually stays all day and smells like cakes.
Kylie Cosmetics Matte Liquid Lipstick in Mary Jo K (17usd and be aware of shipping costs) - Really long-lasting and quite drying. A bit of a pain to apply - needs liner really. Also smells very sweet.

Poppy Days | Bourjois Rouge Velvet Liquid Lipstick Review.

Thursday, 9 March 2017

When I was last browsing Boots, this lipstick caught my eyes, and I couldn't leave without it. It's the Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet Liquid Lipstick in the shade Poppy Days. The colour is a beautiful orange-red. The formula is great, it's long-lasting and not at all drying. I would say the application isn't the easiest - I'd recommend going in with a liner first!

The colour pay-off of the lip product is lovely. Poppy Days is such a stunning colour to make a sophisticated statement which will take you through to Spring and Summer.
I've already received a fair few compliments wearing this lipstick, and I only bought it last week!

At just £8.99, I've fallen in love with giving my lips some Poppy Days!

What do you think of this shade? I'm sure you'll see it in action in some full outfit posts soon!

3 lipstick loves...

Wednesday, 8 February 2017
Today I thought I'd share some lippy's I've found myself reaching for constantly recently.
There are three which I've been obsessed with and each is a little different from the last so I've found myself simply rotating between the three.





I love this lip product for when I'm looking for something subtle to go on my lips. The shade is so pretty and understated and I love the glossy finish. It's super easy to apply and was also super cheap. The nudist shade is perfect for my lips but better look. This is just a really easy lip product to wear - for £3.50, you really can't go wrong with this!





Firstly I love the formula of these lipsticks, they're not at all drying for a semi-matte finish and they're super long-lasting. They're slightly more pricey but 100% worth the cost, it's so comfortable to wear and hardly most through the day.  This shade is a middle of the road brown/nude, which I just love. It's easy to wear but still, makes a statement, and I just always feel fab when I wear this colour - plus it works with pretty much any makeup look.




Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipstick Glastonberry (£24):

 Another formula I really love, again it's long-lasting and not at all drying. This shade is a deep berry colour which is a little more daring than the other two - but it's perfect for a statement - it's got a berry tone to it rather than a red tone which is a bit harder to come by and it just looks amazing on. Of course, application perfect application is a tad more tricky with a darker shade - but this looks so stunning on it's worth spending a little while longer applying your lipstick. The packaging of this one is also stunning, and who isn't a sucker for nice packaging?





What are your current go-to lippies? I'd love to give them a try!

Love, C x

MAC Whirl Lipstick | Beauty Review

Friday, 15 July 2016
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 find this the perfect shade to throw on which just automatically makes you look more put together. This 90s brown lip is really on-trend, and this is the perfect lipstick for that look. I think the shade suits my skin tone and it works with pretty much any makeup look and outfit, and I'll be honest, I feel pretty badass when I wear it. All you really need is lipstick.


If you're looking for a brown-toned nude lipstick I'd recommend giving Whirl a whirl (ha). I'm wearing this lip so much right now!

Colour Obsession | Oxblood

Tuesday, 17 November 2015
When I treated myself to the beautiful Mulberry purse, I realised I am a little obsessed with the oxblood colour, especially this time of year!
My current go to Lipstick and Nail Varnish are in almost the exact same colour as my purse. I get so much wear out of this colour. The shade some how makes a subtle statement, giving an Autumn Winter vibe to any outfit, and is neutral enough to pair with almost anything.
 
Nail Polish: Essie Wicked
Lipstick: Chanel Rouge Coco 21 Rivoli
Purse: Mulberry Small Oxblood Purse (similar linked)
The perfect items to finish off a classic sophisticated look.



What's your favourite colour to accessorise with at the moment?

I'm thinking of doing more of these colour obsession posts so this may be the first in a little series. Let me know what you think!

MAC Velvet Teddy Lipstick | Beauty Review

Sunday, 19 July 2015





I am sure there won't be many of you reading this who haven't heard of the lipstick Velvet Teddy by MAC, it is, of course, the lipstick which Kylie Jenner is rumoured to wear to achieve her famous 'my lips but better look' which so many of us lust after. After all the hype, and trying the colour out several times, I decided it was the time I picked one up for myself.

I have found I have a love, hate relationship with nude lipsticks. I love them on other people, however, the majority of the time I hate how they look at me. I'm not really too sure why I just struggle to pull off a nude lip, I find they don't often suit my skin tone and quite often I feel they make me look unwell, not exactly a desirable look. 
I don't often wear a nude lip when I do I feel more self-conscious as I'm used to a bright lip, so it's a shock switching to a nude, so maybe they don't look as bad on me as I think. Nonetheless, several times I have bought nude lipstick and gave them away because I have felt they don't suit me as soon as I have got them home. Why am I rambling on about my constant nude lip struggle? Because this one is a keeper. So many have said it's about finding the perfect nude shade for you. Velvet Teddy is mine.

It's quite a dark nude colour with a brown and peach tone to it and a matte finish. The shade is darker than the nudes I usually pick up which I think compliments my skin tone more, and also makes a statement of a subtle lip.

I find this lipstick is fairly long-lasting and not too drying considering it has a matt finish. If you're looking for a new nude lip, I definitely recommend trying this shade out!

Spring Lips | Clinique Peony Matte Lipstick

Friday, 20 March 2015
I recently treated myself to a new lipstick - Clinique 47 Matte Peony (£17.50)

 It had come to my attention that the majority of my lipsticks are red and berry shades - my collection is really lacking when it comes to pinks, corals and nudes.

 As the sky brightens and we head into Spring, I feel I need some pink and coral lipstick shades, whether bright or pastel, to be fitting with the season, which has left me with little to reach for in the lipstick department - my recent purchase of Cliniques Peony, however, seems to be filling a gap!


It is a pink with a coral undertone and a matte finish. I love the shade! I think it looks so fresh and brightening on the face, perfect for this time of year! 

I'm really impressed with the formula so far, it's surprisingly moisturising for a matte finish and it's also pretty long-lasting. 

The above image of the lipstick a few hours after application
It cost £17.50 which is a little more pricey than a drugstore lipstick, however, I think that's a pretty good price for a high-end lipstick, and the quality makes me think it was worth every penny! Also, I  quite like the packaging on this which is always a bonus.


I can't wait to wear this shade some more.
What's your favourite lipstick for Spring?

A Full Lipstick Stand

Monday, 1 December 2014
Being a self-confessed beauty addict, my biggest weak spot is lipstick. I'm a sucker for different lipsticks because no two shades of red are the same, right? Some days are a nude lipstick day, some are pink, some are red - every day, however, is a lipstick day.

Anyway, it has recently came to my attention that I have finally filled my lipstick stand, so I thought I'd share the shades I have with you. To some of you, this may seem like a lot, and to others, it may seem like hardly any - I am in no way bragging, just sharing some thoughts on my lipstick collection with you.

I am not going to swatch any of the colours as there are quite a few but if you wish to see swatches of any or more detailed blog posts feel free to request that in the comments, and I will link any previous blog post that featuring any of the lipsticks mentioned here.









I'm going to tell you the shades starting with the back row and working forwards.

The back row is high street lipsticks, most of which I don't often reach for. Here are all the shades in the back row working from left to right:
  • 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!
The next row is a mixture of both high end and high street lipsticks. Working from left to right we have:
  • Clinique high impact lipstick 'red-y to wear' (I think, the writing has rubbed off but looks the same on the website) -  I love this lipstick, for a very long time this was my go-to red lipstick and has almost run out now. The shade is a shimmery red colour with a slight pink tone.
  • Illamasqua Liable - to be honest, I was slightly disappointed with the product as I find it really drying, and it does not apply very smoothly, however, I like the package and it's is fairly long-lasting. This is a matt, orange-toned red.
  • Nars Heatwave - This is another orange toned red, however, I really love this one. I wrote a whole blog post on this one a fair while ago, which you can find here.
  • Calvin Klein Eros - A muted berry colour, this lipstick featured in my September Favourites which you can find here.
  • Soap and Glory Pom soap Pom - Yet another muted berry shade. This is one of my current favourites. This lipstick featured in an Autumn lips post I did not so long ago which you can find here.
  • Rimmel Apocalips Gloss Apocalyptic - This is another one I don't wear much, I think more because it's a lipgloss rather than a lipstick and I don't often find myself reaching for a lipgloss. The shade, however, is beautiful and super pigmented. It's a bright pinky-red colour.
The second row of my lipstick stand is high-end lipsticks (and a high street gloss on the end). The shades from left to right are as follows:
  • Laura Mercier Sienna - This one is quite new so I've only worn it a few times before. It's a deep purple toned berry colour which I think is perfect for this time of year. I also think the packaging is beautiful
  • MAC Ruby Woo - I am sure most of you have heard of this one before. It's a classic matt red. I find this one quite drying, so I don't use it all that much.
  • MAC Lady Danger - Another one I'm sure most of you have heard of. This is a bright orange toned red which I love. I have done an entire blog post on this one which you can find here.
  • MAC Girl About Town - One of my all-time favourite pink shades. It's a deep blue-toned pink, I have written a blog post on this (a very long time ago now!) which you can find here.
  • MAC Pink Nouveau - This is a pale pink with a purple/blue tone to it. I love this colour, however, I don't often wear this one as I don't think it suits my skin tone all that much. It looks wonderful on my sister though!
  • Barry M Lip Gloss (I'm not sure of the shade, unfortunately) - I never really use this. It's just a simple pink gloss which is handy to have, just in case.
Lastly, we have the front row, which naturally is a lot of my more loved lipsticks. The shades from left to right are:
  • Chanel 21 Rivoli - This is a dark deep berry colour, perfect for Autumn lips.
  • Chanel 38 La Fascinante - This is a classic, matt red shade. 
  • Chanel 37 L'Exuberante - This is a bright pink shade that I get out a lot during the summer months.
    • Chanel 136 Melodieuse - This is a coral shade (you might be able to tell I like Chanel lipstick a lot - they just feel so luxurious and I love the packaging too.
    • Estee Lauder Venetian Rose - This is the only nude lipstick I have ever found which actually suits me. It's a beautiful peachy nude colour.
    • Tanya Burr Picnic in the Park - This is the only lipgloss I ever really wear. I have written an entire blog post on this which you can find here.

    Last but not least, we have the one by the side (which annoying does not fit in the lipstick stand), this is Lancome L'absolu Rouge which is a bright shimmery red colour, which also smells delicious. This does bleed around the lips slightly so I would recommend a lip liner with this one.


    What's your all-time favourite lipstick?

    5 Autumn Lipstick | Beauty

    Wednesday, 22 October 2014
    I'm sure many beauty lovers will agree with me, that when Autumn comes around, it's time be a little braver when it comes to lip colours. Away go the pink, nudes to be replaced with deep reds, and dark berry tones. Personally, I love autumnal makeup, as I feel much more comfortable in a dark berry lip, rather than a natural lip - it's just not really me.

    Just a little warning before you read any further- I would say the swatches look slightly different through the camera lens - so if you like the sound of a lips colour from my description you might be better to go off and swatch it yourself than only refer to my swatches!
    So here are some of my go-to current lipstick for an autumn lip...

    five lipsticks including Channel, Mac, Soap & Glory, Rimmel Kate Moss and Calvin Klien

    Red & Berry lipsticks including Channel, Mac, Soap & Glory, Rimmel Kate Moss and Calvin Klien
    Red & Berry lipsticks including Channel, Mac, Soap & Glory, Rimmel Kate Moss and Calvin Klien

    Let's start with the most pricey of the five. 

    Chanel Rouge Coco in the shade 21 Rivoli - this lipstick is a lot more high end than the rest of the lipsticks here, costing £25. This is definitely a lipstick for if you're willing to spend a little extra, and looking for high-end luxury.




    As you can see this lipstick of mine is well-loved and slightly battered - it has been through the wash and thrown into a million different handbags, however, this is only because it is one of my favourites go-to lipsticks. 
    This is the darkest lipstick I own, so only really comes out this time of year.

    I'd describe this colour as a dark plum. It has a brown, purple tone to it. I love this colour for this time of year and want to invest in some more similar shades. This lipstick has a slight shine to the finish, which I like with a darker lipstick as I feel it gives it a more feminine edge. 

    I really like the formula of Chanel Lipstick, I find them really moisturising and long-lasting. I also love the packaging - I think with Chanel lipsticks you can see the difference from a high street lipstick, and I don't mind paying the high price tag with a Chanel lipstick because so far I have not been let down by one.

    Next up I have a MAC lipstick, it is the famous Ruby Woo. 

    I'm going to keep this one short because I'm sure every blogger and their dog has spoken about this lipstick.
    It's a matt 'postbox' red shade. 



    Being MAC it is slightly more expensive at £15.50. The shade is something I go for if I wanted a classic red lip. Being a matt formula, I do find this lipstick quite drying, however it is very long-lasting.



    From Calvin Klein, I have a lipstick in the shade Eros, which I bought from Fragrance Direct rather than straight from Calvin Klein, so I didn't pay much for it (I can't remember exactly how much). This lipstick is slightly more natural than the other two. I'd say the shade was a muted berry colour with a blue undertone, which I think is perfect if you want a more understated lip this time of year. 


    Another recent favourite of mine this the Soap and Glory Lipstick in the shade Pom Pom.
    The shade is quite similar to the shade of the Calvin Klein lipstick, however, I'd say the Soap and Glory lipstick is slightly deeper and has more of a purple tint to it creating a slightly more statement lip for day to day wear.
    This is my first Soap and Glory lipstick, and I am really impressed, I will definitely be trying out some more of their lipsticks.


    To me, I find this lipstick feels much more expensive than it actually is. The packaging is nice, the lipstick is moisturising and fairly long-lasting, and it even has the Soap and Glory indent in the lipstick.  What I really like about this lipstick, is that although it is a matt shade, the formula is not too drying - unlike the MAC lipstick I spoke about earlier which you pay a lot more for.

    Lastly is more most recent lipstick purchase.
    It's the Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick in the shade 31.


    I have been wearing this lipstick a lot since I bought it.  It is quite similar to the last two shades I spoke about (I'm really enjoying a muted berry lips at the moment!) but it has a slightly redder tone to it, creating a bolder casual lip. This the first of the Kate Moss lipsticks I have tried and really like it so far. 

    What has been your favourite lipstick recently?

    Love Chloe
