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?

Beauty: My 'Signature' Look

So hi...

When it comes to make up, if you couldn't tell from the fact I have a blog around it, I'm a pretty big fan, My collection grows and grows and I love to try and get experimental and test my boundaries. But I feel like with most people there is always that reliable look I always go back to and can trust to just work for me. Our 'Signature look' Which is what I'm showing off today.
My sort of signature go to look s pretty simple to be honest, a cat flick is essential. I literally don't feel ready for the day without eye liner, Then for eye shadow I quite like to use the Make-up Revolution GO! palette as I hardly reach for anything else, I like to use the light pink colours then add a little of the dark colour in the corner for a little definition.

The base itself tends to change as I test and try out new concealers and foundations but at the moment it's the Bourjois healthy mix serum (Which I wrote about here).
And then it's Lipstick, And as blogger common as it seems I can't help but have my all time favourite lipstick as Rimmel's Kate moss collection in 107, the perfect mixture of berry red, Suitable for every occasion.
And that just about sums up my go to 'signature look'. It's simple, can be adjusted for different occasions ( although it usually goes with everything) and I have the application down to a quick tee.

What's your personal 'Signature look'?

Mac Lipstick Wishlist.

So hi...

Now I'm not fortunate enough to have a mac counter in my home town so I've never really had the opportunity to buy any Mac products, but my want for them continues to grow, especially since reading a fair few blogs, I like the sound of a load of different mac products like the Eye shadows but the real gems for me are the Lipsticks and as much as I'd just like to own all of them that Isn't possible so I have a shortened list of the shade I'm lusting over.


Russian Red: One of the more popular shade next to Ruby Woo, This true dark red colour is to die for and although I own a similar shade, the higher quality will be amazing.

Velvet Teddy: I've seen this shade so many times of instagram and it took me a good 20/30 minutes to hunt down the name of the shade but it looks like the definition of 'My lips but perfect' and I can't wait to get my hands on it.

Lady Danger: Another Red colour with lovely orange tones, It's another I just want it colour, I'd love it for summer and when I want a red lip with  little difference.

Sin: Sin is an almost Burgundy colour and it looks so interesting, I don't have a colour like it and I just want it.

All Fired up: A bright Fuchsia colour, Gotta love a good bright lip.

And those are my top lusts from mac, as well as those I want to collect a palette of eye shadows and maybe try out the foundation and powders but I've heard very mixed reviews about those products.

Any Mac lipsticks you're lusting over?

Rediscovering Lipsticks

So hi...


As a blogger and fan of reading many blogs I've read a few posts about 'Shopping your stash' but I never really thought I'd ever amass enough make-up to do that myself but ALAS, I have definitely collected enough lipsticks.
Recently I've been using the same make-up products because a lot of my things have already been moved over to my new place that I'll be moving to in a few weeks, but I completely forgot that I left a whole bag full of other make-up stuff so I could swap around, and I rediscovered my Topshop Headrush lipstick, a lovely mix of red and orange. As such I've been pretty addicted to it the last week or so, the quality of the Topshop lipsticks is another thing I'd forgotten, and it really made me realize the difference in the more expensive products.
As much as I love my £1 lipsticks from the likes of MUA and makeup revolution, they are of lower quality, though I definitely think they are amazing for the price, you can really feel the difference when you apply the products.
The Rediscovery of this actually quite new purchase made me think that I should make more of an effort to 'shop my stash' as I have a decent collection yet I always seem to reach for the classic Rimmel Kate moss 107, which as much as I find it a godsend, I have about 20+ other lipsticks of different colours and textures.

When was the last time you discovered a new favourite from your own collection?

Those Unusual Lip colours.

So hi

So when you think lipsticks and colours the most common to think of is shades of red and pink as well as nudes and then  berry shades. dark purple shades have also become pretty common place to appear upon the lips. But there are some lip colours that are straight up a little peculiar. I own a few such colours, Most from Make-up revolution as it was a set of 5 for £4 and I decided to get the set despite there strange vibrant tones. So lets go through them.

The first shade I have although is purple it's a little brighter than the typical purple shades you see around, This shade is called Depraved and although strange I could see people wearing it out, I'm not sure how great it would look however. As you can tell the payout is decent but not strong enough, I spent about 5 minutes trying to cover my lips completely and as you can tell it didn't completely work.

 The Most 'normal' or common colour in this little showcase, this shade is called Vice and is a super bright very true orange, dfferent from the orangey toned reds you see around and with it a little more difficult to wear, The colour pay out is slightly better and a little stronger pigmented. It's also the smoothest to apply.
 With the colour pigment and pay out of them all is this yellow shade called Felony which although looks super bright in the bullet has almost no actually colour, I can't ever imagine being able to wear this out and looking acceptable.
 And lastly is this pale icy blue shade called Immoral. I thought this would be the worst one but I don't actually hate it, The color payout is actually pretty good. I could only see myself wearing this as apart of a cosplay or Halloween outfit such as the Ice witch from Narnia or something.

Do you own as super unusual lip colours?

Current Summer FOTD

So Hi...


 In Summer I feel like most people change up their make up a little bit, with the heat it's often not ideal to have a full face of make-up that feels like it could melt off your face at any moment, so not attractive. I'm no exception to this, although the changes I've made to my daily make-up are a mixture of the change in weather and a gain of products. Though tweaks still need to be made I'm becoming more and more content with my make-up application and skills. Anyway I thought I would just list the product's I'm using for my day to day Summer make-up with some selfies showing it off at the end!
Lets start with the base, I use the Make-up Revolution ultra all day primer balm first along with the Make-up Revolution eye primer to help keep my make-up on, which is especially needed in the added heat. Concealer of choice at the moment is the MUA hide and conceal stick. I'm out of collections lasting perfection concealer and have yet to find it restocked and not open in my shade, the struggles.  I unfortunately don't have a full bottle of foundation as I've been using a tester bottle of Urban Decay's Naked Skin Weightless Ultra Definition Liquid Makeup in 0.5 as picked for me at the urban decay event I went to a while back ( Read Here!) I'm absolutely loving it and definitely going to look into getting myself a full bottle. I'm also getting into Bronzer a little now and use the MUA Bronzer in shade 1. And Powder is the forever faithful Rimmel stay matte.
Now for Eyes. I've recently been quite loyal to this Go! palette from Make-up Revolution for my eye shadow, I love the pink toned colours and the range which means I can go super pale and neutral one day and smokey dark another. The curlers are standard own branded ones from Superdrug as I've never really used curlers and wanted to test them out. For eye liner my top favourite is the Collection extreme 24 hour felt tip liner, it's easy to control and gives such good colour pigment off. I own about 4 of these in different colours now. for mascara I don't really have one that I specifically use daily, I have about 4/5 I tend to swap between. At the moment though I'm been loving Soap & glory Thick and Fast, it does what it says and really thickens the lashes. In terms of pencils again I'm not really too fussy and have a number of pencils from different brands, I've recently bought this gorgeous green eye pencil from MUA however and it's a lovely colour that adds a pop and I feel really brings out the green tones in my eyes.


That just about sums up my summer FOTD, the lip colours change daily depending on my mood or the event so I didn't include those.
What's your Summer FOTD Products? any particular look your loving?

A week or so in make-up 3#

So hi...

Once again been a while, rather than forgetting to photograph like with the outfits, I've just straight up been not wearing make-up all that much, or not enough to be worthy of photographing. Think I'm finally progressing with my make-up though which makes me happy, let me know if you agree or not?

The Whole Make-up collection. Lips.

So hi...

Recently I've been thinking about doing a short series showing off a different section of my whole make-up collection and well... here we are. I thought i would start off with lips as it's probably what I have the most of. My collection isn't really that big, hoping to expand it a lot more and test out a load of new products, especially base products. Anyway to the lips collection

 As you can see I have 2 storage thingys for my lip products, my favourites get displayed in this stand I bought of ebay ages ago and it has 24 slots, All the others that didn't quite make the cut go into a make-up bag that sits under my sink in my room, I still use these one but they aren't the ones i want to grab on a daily basis.
 So here comes the fun bit, I'm going to list out each lip product starting from the back row left to right.
Back Row:
PS beauty Lip crayon in nude// Tanya /Burr 'Vampire kiss'// Apocolips 'Meteoric matte' //
Apocolips 'Across the universe'// MUA Luxe  'Funk'// Rimmel Lipstick Lock.
3rd Row:
MUA Matte 'Peachy keen'// MUA Matte 'Scarlet Siren'// MUA Matte 'Wild Berry'//
Makeup Revolution '100% Vamp'//Ps Beauty in Red// Nivea pearly shine.
2nd Row:
MUA 'Shade 11'// Rimmel Moisture Renew 'As You Want Victoria'//BC 'Poison'// MUA 'Shade 3'//
Essence 10 'Cotton candy'// Maybelline 'Hazelnut Sauce'.
Front Row:
Rimmel Kate Moss '107'// Rimmel Moisture Renew 'Dark Night Waterl-oops!'//
Collection 'Vintage Rose'// MUA 'Shade 13'// MUA 'Shade 1'// Miss Sporty '051 Bubble Gum'

Phew that was a lot, these are my favourite shades. I seem do like MUA and Rimmel a lot.

 Next are the few things in my lipstick bag. First in these pockets are two Ps. Beauty Crayons in Red. In the middle in a S&G Extreme-Plump lipgloss. and in the final pockets are two MUA lip liners in 'Red Drama' and 'Brooding plum'
 next are the odd lip sticks and such. For ease I'm going to list these out.
MUA 'Shade 6'// BC 'Vixen'//  MUA 'Shade 4'//
Makeup Revolution Scandalous collection.
'Felony'// 'Crime'// 'Immoral'// 'Vice'// 'Depraved'
And finally the more pen looking products and a backup of Kate Moss '107' cause it's my fav.
One more little list. From the top.
Nars lip pencil 'Majella'// Apocolips 'Galaxy'// Maybelline 'Crimson Crystal'// Apocolips 'Luna'.

And thats it, as I said for someone who blogs about this stuff my Collection isn't all that big!
Next friday I'll be showing off my eye-shadows, palette's and all.

The Perfect Lip I could never find.

So hi...

If you've read my blog for probably a few months you may notice I am a completely sucker for a red lip. But I've been wanting the perfect berry lip for about 2 years now? but I just could never find it. The closest one I had previously was the Kate moss 107 Rimmel lipstick, which although absolutely gorgeous, just wasn't the right berry colour I had in my mind. I'm pretty sure over the years I've swatched and swatched, to be constantly disappointed with lipsticks that didn't match their perfect looking colour of the bullet.


 HOWEVER, finally after a half hour wander and a hand full of colours with my mum, I found what I had been looking for. The perfect colour comes from the Rimmel Moisture renew range in the shade 380, called ' dark night waterl-oops!'
It's such a gorgeous shade, with much for purple berry tones rather than red tones, It's now up their as one of my top lipsticks, plus it's such a good winter bold lip, it makes me happy.

What lipstick have you found to be that ideal colour you've been searching for?

The Recent Buys.

So hi...

The winter season added with the money supply that is student finance meant that I've been able to buy a few things for myself in the last few months. Now I haven't bought much and made sure nothing was too expensive so I didn't break the bank!

 Since It's getting mighty cold now, with it turning winter and all. So Buying a nice wooly hat was in order, I found this one in sports direct while looking for football gear and decided it would be perfect, I have beanie hats already but this one is just much more cosy and winter appropriate looking. If my memory serves me right it was about £6-7
 Next of the thing I've bought is bags, two of them to be exact. The gorgeous burgundy red clutch was £6 from primark and It's just such a pretty bag that actually fits a decent amount in despite it's size, I didn't need this really I just wanted it...
The other monochrome bag was £15 and I ordered it online from New look. I bought it originally as a replacement bag for the monochrome bag I had from primark that broke the first week of uni, but I was a little disappointed. Don't get me wrong I do quite like the bag, but I expected it to be a little bigger than it is, it's a struggle as a uni bag which was it's purpose, so although I may have to buy a bigger bag it is lovely and I will still keep using it.
Onto the beauty related purchases.
On a unnecessary but at the same time SO necessary visit to superdrug I took advantage of the 3 for 2 offer and got myself some more nail varnish, One clear coat polish that can be used for a base and a top coat which is convenient. I then picked up a black nail polish called 'Pitch black' which I don't really need to explain shade wise... I just wanted to have a black nail polish, it felt needed. The last nail polish is a very cute light lilac colour called ' lush lilac' the inner girly girl in me had to owe this, it looks so cute and I like the idea of wearing it in winter.

I also picked up 2 Apocolips up, One I ordered online for £3-4 which is a bargin and it's in the shade 500 'Luna' It's a very peachy shade and although I don't think i work it as well as I'd like I still love the colour. I'll make it work somehow. The other Apocolips I picked up was in boots and from the new Matte range. IT's an absolutely beautiful berry picky shade called 'Meteoric Matte' and I straight up love it. This will most likely be my go to winter lip.

And those are my buys from the past month or so, not too bad I'd say. I'm budgeting myself well And I've already got most of my Christmas presents for people bought. On a Roll.

We'll talk soon lovelies!

10 Things that Cheer me up.

So hi..

This is just a little post. I just thought it would be nice to make a little list of the things that make me happy and the things that cheer me up. Not in order of anything, just a small list

1. Reading Manga/A Book - I'm addicted to manga, I also used to do a ridiculous amount of reading books as a child, but a well written or drawn book or manga get me so happy, I'm one of those people that flail around in their chairs over plot-twists and a good scene, yep, that's me.

2. Baking/Cooking - I have to say, for the fact that baking usually means some brownie cookie related goodness, I'm a tiny bit fonder of baking but cooking a good meal from scratch is also just so satisfying, and then you get to eat it! 10/10

3. My Blog/Blogging - I really do enjoy write my blog, I quite enjoy writing in general most of the time, it's relaxing and distracts you from worries, or it does for me personal, I really enjoy reading about peoples lives and opinions and writing about my own, it's just something that makes me feel really peaceful and connected to people.

4. Late night drives with friends. - A lot of Summer was spend with friends driving, And it was so refreshing and made me so happy as we drove along dark empty roads shouting out embarrassing songs and just enjoying life.

5. Music - Music can bring out all emotional in me, but even if it's a song that makes me sad, angry or any other emotion it's just so different than feeling sadness due to life, music is just something that always makes me happy and I just can't explain why.

6. Youtube - I suppose you could say Tv shows as well near but as I spend  a lot more time watching youtube videos personally, I out that, I'm finding recently that vlogs specifically are just really interesting for me, I don't know why but I love seeing snippets of peoples lives, I love Funforlouis videos the most, they are just so uplifting and inspiring

7. Scented Candles - It feels so homely and warming when you go into a room and it smells of some of your favourite scents, Yankee candles are the best one's I've found that burn scented, My favourite is Fireside Treats! I'm gutted my halls don't allow candles.

8. My Cat Fluffy - Words cannot describe how much I love my cat, sh'es been in my life as long as I've remembered and I am not looking forward to uni being without her, Having her to cuddle when I'm sad or just feeling a bit meh has always cheered me up, she's so cute.

9. Dark Bold Lipsticks - Lipstick is definitely what I think makes a look, I really love it, but most of all I love dark colours, Red is my favourite as it's just classic and I feel like there's always a shade of red for someone, but dark reds, berrys, purples, I just love, and It's perfect for the autumn/winter season, yay.

10. Good Food ( Meals Out) - Now not to say that you can't have good homemade food because damn homemade Roasts are amazing, but there is just something a little special about having a meal out and when the food is good it's just such a good experience! I've had surprisingly a lot of meals out during August and September and all of them have left me pleasantly surprised! So It's been a very happy time for me when it comes to food... Though I've definitely been eating a little too much.. opps.

And that's that, 10 things that really just cheer me up or make me feel happy in general, What things make you feel happy?

Monthly Round up: September

So hi.

selfie before the last supper// Last supper photo// fluffy wrapped up// packing problems// uni selfie
First night Hannah and Becki// Pranks flat 3s door// my flats door// BCU bar crawl//drunks photos
present to flat 3 boys//our flats drink//made an effort selfie// favourite group photo// the three musketeers


September was quite an active month for me. The first week or so seemed to go really slow but then it was busy busy busy, in between trying to sort out uni forms etc etc, me and my friends tried to make the most of our last month together and went for a meal as well as a few nights out and lots of chilled drives. It was really lovely actually and makes me miss them all the more now we're so spread out. Then the 20th was moving day and it was hectic. The last week of September was freshers and it was a brilliant week. I have lovely flatmate and it's all good, but I rambled about that in a different post...
I'm looking forward to what October will bring, with my course and Lectures properly starting this week I'm sure October will be a month of reading, and then of course there is Halloween. My flat has already decided our flat's Halloween theme.

But September was an exciting month of big changes and appreciating the little things.
How was your September?

Make-up Experiments: Poison Ivy

So Hi..

So I've been trying to be a lot more experimental with make-up and I've wanted to try to do a lot of different looks in terms of casual wear and for idea's as cosplays etc.

Saying that this is one successful look I'm quite happy with.  It's a poison ivy look which isn't unusual with me and I absolutely love it. I'm quite happy with how this came out and I am quite looking forward to trying out other looks. My base was just concealer and the lipstick was the Rimmel kate moss 107.
 I used a sleek palette, 2 MUA single shadows and a large unbranded palette set.




I hope you guys like this look as much as I do, I think I'll definitely be wearing this when Halloween comes around while in Uni.

Any suggestions for make-up looks to try?

We'll talk soon lovelies!

A New Everyday Make-up Routine.

So hi.

Recently I've found that my make-up routine has changed a lot and I find my make-up looking a lot smoother and more flawless as a result, so I thought I would tell you all my make-up routine, I don't think it's anything special. More so that I've gotten much better with my ability to blend and generally apply my make-up, which makes me rather happy.

I think two things have greatly contributed to my improved make-up routine, discovering the usefulness of a primer and decent make-up brushes.

The make up brushes I use are unbranded ones I order for only a couple of quid from Tmart, they are soft and fluffy and do the job well, they are also in need of cleaning I know.

For my primer I use MUA's Primer, It was £4 and my first choice in experimenting with primers as I didn't want to spend to much then possibly not like it, I'm looking forward to trying some other primers though.

After priming I use my concealer,which although has been collections lasting perfection offering for a while, after struggling to get another from my local Superdrug, I gave Rimmel's wake me up concealer and I really like it, I'd be so bold as to say I think it's just as good as collection's one.

Next is foundation and recently I haven't been using foundation too much because of the hot weather but when I do it's the Super stay better skin foundation from Maybelline, I think it really goes on well on my skin and I love the finish it gives me. It's the best foundation I've tried so far. I then contour my face with the Two-faced No makeup palette, I absolutely love this product, I bought it off Tmart like I did with the brushes and it wasn't listed as a brand product but when it arrived I was excited, It has the a contour, highlight, cream and powder blush and a shimmer bronzer. and with my face all done and looking the best I could hope I use Rimmel Stay matte powder to set it all and give my face a matte effect.

Next up I do my eyes, if I can be bothered with eye shadow, I get out the Naked 3 Palette, my favourite colours are burnout, limit, liar and mugshot. After is the cat flick which I use either Superliner by Loreal or Collection's Extreme 24 hour liner, followed by mascara, I use two mascaras, firstly Collection's no clumps which gives me good length to build up on and then I use Miss Manga by Loreal.

And that's my make up done, there's also lipstick but I change it up so often, but as I would say I'd mostly use a shade of red, I photopraphed Apocolips in Big bang and the Rimmel Kate moss in  01.

What's your make-up routine like?

We'll talk soon lovelies!

My Summer Essentials.

So hi...




Convenient that now I've sat down to write this post the sun seems to have hidden itself away, however I still thought I'd put this post up. When the sun hit us here in the UK I'm pretty sure i'm not the only one that got myself a arsenal of essential products to last me through the summer heat.

Suncream.
One of the most obvious ( which I ironically didn't have photographed here ) is suncream, can't be dealing with that bright red sun burn.
Sunglasses.
In line with that I have to carry round with me some sunglasses, I don't do too well in heat and I certainly don't like it blinding me, I have two pairs that I swap between, one from a cosmopolitan magazine in a cateye style and the other a rather basic pair from primark for £1.
Face Wipes.
Now don't hate me for this one! I know well the dislike for face wipes in the blogging community, however it's just something I always keep by me, sometime it's nice to refresh your hot sweaty face with a face wipe, I find it refreshes my face and that's good by me.
Dry Shampoo.
This one is quite popular for summer due to festivals and such, and although I wasn't able to go to any festival this summer (boo!) I still use dry shampoo a lot during the summer when i'm feeling hot and my hair is feeling a little lacking.
Sudocream.
So a bit more of a weird one but in summer I get bitten, a lot. My blood must be sweet because a day out near any form of grass of greener end up in a lovely load of red dots all over my legs, though this year the bugs changed it up a bit and left my whole body covered in bites. It's rather unpleasant and Itchy, so I regularly need to put sudocream on the bites to calm them. As I said, odd one but rather necessary for me.
Bright Lipstick.
In summer when I can be bothered to wear lipstick I'm all about the brights, mostly reds and orangey tones, my favourite currently is Rimmels kate moss 101 lipstick, it's just the perfect classic red for me. I think a bright lipstick can really bring together an outfit that may be quite basic due to the heat limiting an outfit creativity.
Headphones.
Last essential for me is headphones. I love listening to music especially when walking around, so for me my headphones have to be on me at all times to stop myself getting bored. I recently left my headphones at my mums by accident  and the week without them was absolutely awful.

And there you have it, my personal summer essentials this year, most of them are pretty basic ones I'd guess.
What are your top summer essentials?
