Smashbox Be Legendary Triple Tone Lipstick in Sunset Ombre

Hi lovlies!

Ever wondered how beauty companies can make a lip lover (who has all the shades of lipstick you could imagine) buy more lipstick? This is how. Create 3 in 1 lipstick. Ombre lips. I mean, how can anybody resist lipstick this pretty?!

Although ombre lips isn't new thing I think Smashbox did a good job bringing back this trend. I like all the shades but loved Sunset Ombre the most.

I was a bit afraid that the application might be a bit frustrating as you need to turn the lipstick upside down to achieve ombre effect. However, I find it quite easy and I am pleased to repot that it works. The lipstick itself is quite moisturising despite being matte. Thumbs up.

In terms of lasting power it the ombre effect lasts for a couple of hours without drinking and eating, after that all colours just blend into one, which is bright blue pink (the type of pink that makes your teeth whiter).
So is it a keeper? Definitely! I want to buy more shades, can't wait to try the purple one! Love, A.x

MAC Boldly Bare Lip Pencil & MAC Lipstick in Velvet Teddy

Hello beauties!
Last weekend my & my hubby went to York Designer Outlet and I couldn't resist popping into The Cosmetics Company Store, obvs... ;-) So I went into the MAC section and found this little beaut set... (it was about £22) - a true bargain!
The lip pencil is as Mac describes it a "dirty, red brown". It is your regular, ordinary, hard working lip pencil. I love layering lip products at the moment as I haven't been having time to top up at work except for after dinner so my lips need to stay on and look good thought the day. And this lip pencil does the job.

The lipstick in Velvet Teddy is described as a "deep tone beige". It's a matte shade but it is definitely not drying. Again, paired up with the lip pencil it stays on for a few hours before needing a touch up. This combo is definitely my favourite Monday lips set, when you need to really focus at work, not worry about lipstick on your teeth (hello red!) and look like you mean business! Love!

I bought... all I could find. I had it before and really liked the way it worked  - it makes my skin feel refreshed and really moisturised. It does feel a bit tingly at first but after the tinging goes away it feels really nice on the skin. I use it once a week or more if required - it keeps my skin feel smooth and calm.
75p is such a bargain & I am so happy I've got a back up for the next few weeks :)
Love, A. x
