Rebel with cause & Rimmel 107

So hi...

Now it's pretty well know that the Kate moss Rimmel 107 is a glorious shade, Perfect for autumn as well. ( though I like it all year round) so when I was randomly looking through my lipstick and general make-up and picked up Make up Revolution's 'Rebel with Cause' I was surprised that I felt they were quite similar.

107 definitely has more red berry tones to it while Rebel with cause is more purple toned but they are both really pretty colours and perfect for the up coming months.

There's also the price difference, 107 is a few pound while Rebel with cause is a mere one pound, But you can tell with staying power and texture, I love the matte feel of Rimmel's 107 while Rebel with cause is a bit more wet? not sure that's the right word but we'll roll with it, It's also not quite a matte texture like 107, but I still like it.

Rimmel's 107 has much greater staying power, I wore out Rebel with cause a few days ago and found myself re-applying it a 5/6 times during the night, although this was with one meal and drinking in between so it may fair a lot better during a normal evening or day without a lot of drinking.
107 however tends to stay quite well even with drinking, leaving a nice looking stain when it does start to fade.

I'm not trying to build an argument as it seems like but just pointing out the two lipsticks pointers.
I really do feel the shades are similar to each other and it's nice to wear rebel with cause and feel like I'm going a little outside the box of not wearing 107 everyday and still get the perfect colour.

Do you have any shades that remind you of your favourite lipstick?

October Aims.

So hi...

Only 3 more months till we've finished 2015 and I'm barely used to writing 2015 on the date, but autumn is upon us and I have another set of aims for the month of October, As I'm heading into the full swing of University, a few of them are quite uni/Birmingham related.

-Keep in contact with Friends. Both in and outside of Birmingham, Since my uni friends aren't as easily accessible like last year I need to make more effort, and I just generally miss talking to my home friends more when I never see them

-Learn my way around Birmingham Better. Because I lived and had my campus in Perry bar last year I hardly ever went to the centre, and as such I hardly know my way around, now I'm dead centre and looking forward to exploring.

-Visit more Cafes and little food places around the City. I'm a sucker for cafes and little food joints, and the idea of going into cafes, grabbing a coffee and just doing some work on your laptop seems adorable and oh so chic, so I'd love to try it.

-Stay ahead of Uni work. Pretty understandable one here. Although I passed last year and got all my work done, I definitely could have done it better and I definitely could have made more of an effort to keep my notes up to date, So this year, as it really counts, I aim to.

-Do Extra reading every weekend. Adding on to the last point, I really want to read more into my subject and the topics that I'm interested in, I choice to do this at university so I should make a real effort to learn the field.
-Increase Daily Productivity. There are 24 hours in a day, and because I have such a bad sleeping schedule I probably only sleep for 6/7 of that, that's 17/18 Hours in the day that I could be spending doing useful things to be productive and improve my life. I spend way to much time lazing around doing nothing.

-Keep Working The Confidence. One of last month's aims was about being more confident, and I even note a post about it. And I've achieved that amazingly well, I'm not 100% sure how I made myself do it but the same body I thought was monsterous and fat I now look at thinking, I'm not ideal, but damn do I look good in that dress/top etc. I'm still working towards small fitness and health goals, but confidence is growing in me and boy do I feel sassy.

-Read and listen to news more. As shameful as it is, I hardly ever read the news, I see and hear a lot of things through the odd facebook post and tweet but that's a minor amount to what i should be reading, especially as a criminology student. and I do enjoy reading the news, but I think I like to have a newspaper to read the news, online there is just a little too much going on everywhere for me to read and know everything. But I'll start slow and find a way.

-Attend and get involved with my Societies. I joined up to 3/4 Extra societies this year on top of the 2 I was already apart of last year, and two of them are rather active, That's at least 3 societies and meetings to keep up with weekly, as well as the other which meet every month or so. But I'm super excited to be apart of the different communities and I know I'll love it.

And those are my aims for the month of October, very doable and most of them are just a case of setting a new habit for myself.

What are the aims you've set yourself this month?

The Monthly Round Up: September

So Hi...

One or two days late with this but ya know starting back at uni has been a busy time. Anyhow! It's now October and the time of Autumn and Halloween is very much upon us. I actually had an amazing September. I got to do so many things and after being so limited for nearly 2 months it was an amazing feeling, it was like I lived that little bit extra and appreciated everything that little bit more. Anyway, I got to spend loads of time with Jordine, went to Sheffield for a house Party, had freshers AND got to spent 2/3 days with Jordine in Bedford. As well as moving back to Lovely Birmingham and attending the #WestMidlandsBloggerMeet (that post will be up soon I promise!) I also applied for a load more societies this year which I hope to keep involved in and I paid off a few gigs and Holiday plans, SO yeah September has been pretty damn amazing.

House party in Sheffield // House party selfie with bae //  Make-up on point // Packing for uni //
My cute window display// WestMidlandsBLoggerMeet // Beford antics // Night in at bedford//
Freshers week // Fiesta night // Night out with Hazza in bedford // With bae out in bedford.

So with the month of Halloween starting and Uni Soon to be in full swing I doubt October will be as hectic or as Adventurous as September but that's Fine, I'm looking forward to being back in Birmingham and Beginning my Second year at University, Plus I'm already loving living in my own flat with Hew and Kate, It's going to still be a pretty good month I think, Plus I love the cosy yet cold feel Autumn brings, Nights in under covers with hot chocolate is how I'll be spending most evenings

How was your September? And any interesting plans for October?

Autumn Wishlist

So hi...

Opps. Had a Few days off again, but you know life happens and people have reminded me that it's okay not to get stuck up on schedules and enjoy life as it comes. I've also decided to go daily most months, though a few days off each month is likely. Anyhow! it's so cold now, so I thought it appropriate to start thinking of my autumn and winter clothes shopping, these are a few bits I'm loving the look off, especially the gorgeous burgundy coloured boots, ooft. I've already spotted a few bits in Primark Home  I want to warm up my room as well as warm myself up. I definitely think the I don't like morning people would be worn many a uni morning lecture.

The Autumn Lip.

So hi...

It is just me or has the cold come around a little too quickly? It still felt summery last week and now it's absolutely freezing! what's that about, anyway with that in mind I've been having a little look in my lipstick collection to see what lip colours I'll be using this autumn. I like to go two ways with lip colour in cold weather, either the typical dark berry and purple toned colours, or nude and lightly pink toned colours. I don't know why but they are just my thing for autumn and winter. So I got together a little collection of what I think I'll be reaching for this Autumn, and it's a fair few.

From the make up Revolution #Liphug collection there are three colours I'll be using, The top, darkest one is 'Saviour will come' It's a dark browny berry toned colour which would be nice for those milder nights out. The second colour is called 'To get lucky' and is a little similar to the first but is much lighter and has more of a reddy tone to it, I think this would be for days when I was feeling a little sassy. The last one is 'insatiable' and is a lovely Pink tone with a hint of red, a nice staple colour for any situation really.

And there's the rest, The two in the top are also from Make up Revolution and are the shades 'Rebel without Cause' which is a bright berry purple and the other from the Vamp shade collection is '100% vamp', a super dark, nearly black purple, definitely a vampiric color. Both would be for either nights out or a daring super cold day.
The next two are both from the Rimmel Moisture renew range, The first shade is 380 'Dark night Waterl-opps' a super pigmented plum Berry colour, perfect to keep my lips soft against the harsh weather and you gotta have a berry colour for the colder months, it's a must. The second shade is a vibrant dark pink shade called 360 'As you want Victoria' I can see myself wearing this the most, such a sassy and stand out pink.
The last two are the nude tones I mentioned and are different brands. The first is an oldie from Maybelline and from there water shine range, It's called 24 'Hazelnut sauce' And very much fits the name, it's a super browny nude colour, makes me feel super sophisticated, I'll be wearing this on the quick days where I wanna look effortlessly chic.
And the last which is a perfect my lips but better pink nude for me is from collection in the shade 13 'Vintage Rose'. Whenever I just can't be bothered but don't fancy looking a wreck at uni, I'll be slicking this on for a perfect pout.

And those are the picks for Autumn and winter, I will probably also be wearing 107 by Kate Moss because it's my most favourite lipstick of all time, but I talk about that enough so I left it out this time.

What will you be reaching for this Autumn?
