I wanted to show off my latest make-up purchase; readers/followers of this blog will be aware of my relationship with make-up!
I bought Sleep MakeUP True Colour Lipstick in Smother. I was looking for a shade for Autumn/Winter that I thought would be bold but not too bright. I was drawn to Smother, which I thought would suit me.
Just
bought another beauty product to add to my slowly growing make-up collection!
My
most recent purchase is the Just Bitten Kissable™ Balm Stain by Revlon; the
colour is crush:
"Just Bitten Kissable" Balm Stain in Crush - Revlon
When
I saw that it was a balm stain, I thought that it would quite a subtle shade. However
when I put it on my lips I actually found it to be quite vibrant.

This
is a nice shade, however I found it was the only shade that was suited to my
skin colour and probably the most universal.
It
was easy to put on and actually felt quite nice on my lips – it didn’t feel
sticky or feel drying. It’s lightweight, but it does have staying power. I liked that the balm is like a chubby crayon (similar to/rip off of Clinique?!); not sure why but I found this to be quite attractive!
The
normal price is £7.99 however I bought at the promotional price of £5.99, so it
was a bit of a bargain. As I have mentioned before, I don't regularly use make-up however, I find that this product would be ideal for those rare occasions when I do throw on the slap!
My Giveaway is still ongoing - due to close at 6pm GMT/UK Time. You can enter here; all the best!
So, I’ve not posted for the best part of this month. For a
variety of reasons, mostly concerning that little thing called Lifewhich has included but not limited to crazy times at work, running
errands for my family watching hilarious new shows Girls (Sky Atlantic) and
Some Girls (BBC3) and re-discovering my love for banana cake.
I
could/should apologise, but the reality I have come to face is that I may not
be able to blog as often as I intended to……..and I now don't feel as bad as I did around 10 November 2012.
Having said that I do owe my blog and its readers a few
posts! Hence why this has been posted at an erratic hour :¬)
Wanted to show off a small purchase made about 2 weeks
ago:
Sleek Blush, £4.49 An addition to my tiny (and often wasted) make-up collection!

I saw a post on Sleek Blush in Rose Gold by another
blogger (who for the life of me I cannot remember – the perils of blog surfing!
I remember it was a British Blogger…..). I was very intrigued by the shimmer
and wanted to get one for myself. I saw the Sunrise Blush as well; even though
prima facie (“on the face of it”) they looked the same, Rose Gold had a lot
more shimmer than Sunrise. I felt that Sunrise was more of a blush and would
suit my skin better – I think it’s warmer, whereas Rose Gold was more of a
party blush. And the price ain't so bad either.
Since I bought it, I have only tested it for the purpose
of my blog, but I hope to give it a full try out when I attend my younger
brother’s graduation. And with that I’m off to get a bit of ‘beauty’ sleep, but I will leave you with a song (and video) that has been seducing my ears:
I buy make-up, but I rarely
wear the stuff. And it drives my mum MAD. There’s rarely a week that goes by
without us engaging in the “make-up debate”. Not a debate so much, rather my
mum telling me that I am a woman and therefore should wear make-up. That’s her
stance – end of! My response? “Yes mum” and then be on my way, or if I have energy
to give a proper response, I argue that my two younger sisters wear make-up and
that should be enough for her!
