MAC Satin Lipstick in Rebel

Hello Lovelies,

Hope you had a lovely Christmas and New Year. I have been quite busy the last couple of weeks and haven’t had any time to spend on my Blog, but I guess at Christmas most people are the same.

Today I wanted to share with you something I got for Christmas and have been wearing most days since and that is this beautiful MAC Satin Lipstick in Rebel. A friend got this for me as a surprise and although I had seen people wearing it I hadn't tried it myself. From the first time I used it I absolutely loved it and think it is a perfect shade for Autumn and Winter.

Rebel is a gorgeous dark pink//berry/plum colour that feels really moisturising and leaves your lips with a slightly glossy finish. This Lipstick is really pigmented and the colour lasts really well, even when you eat and drink and when it does start to fade it leaves your lips a lovely pink colour.

This is only my second MAC Lipstick, but I can see why everyone loves them. They are quite expensive, but if you haven't tried one and get a chance to you really should. The other MAC Lipstick I have is Patisserie, which I love as an everyday colour and I blogged about it here.

What is your favourite MAC Lipstick?

Thanks for reading :)

NOTD - Collection Gothic Glam Nail Polish in Dramatic

Hello Lovelies,

Today I have a NOTD Post for you and my NOTD is Collection's Gothic Glam Nail Polish in Dramatic. This is a gorgeous red/brown colour with lots of red/pink shimmer in it. There are three other shades in the Gothic Glam Collection, Phantom (a lovely metallic purple colour), Deadly (a dark green with gold shimmer) and Poison (a shimmery green/blue). 

When I saw this I had to buy it because I instantly loved the colour and think it is perfect for this time of year. It has a lovely big brush which makes it easy to apply and the nail polish is quick thick. I always prefer a nail polish like this that is quite thick because I think it makes it easier to apply. For a really solid colour you need to apply two coats of this.

In the photo I have applied a base coat of Rimmel's Nail Nurse Nail Rescue, then two coats of the Collection Nail Polish followed by a coat of top coat of Rimmel Finishing Touch 3D Plumping Top Coat.

Have you tried any of Collection's Gothic Glam Nail Polishes?

Nuxe Rêve de Miel Ultra-Nourishing Lip Balm

Hello Lovelies,

Today I wanted to share with you something I have been using a lot lately and that is Nuxe’s Rêve de Miel Ultra-Nourishing Lip Balm. I was recommended this by a couple of Bloggers on Twitter and when I was ordering some other things from Escentual a little while ago I noticed this was on offer (I think it had 30% off or something similar), so I decided to try it and I am really pleased that I did. 

This has ‘honey and precious oils’ in it, as well as nourishing shea butter which makes it extra moisturising. It is a lovely thick lip balm that feels really moisturising as soon as you apply it and it feels creamy rather than greasy like some lip balms can. I keep this on my bedside table, because it is perfect to use just before bed, so when you wake up your lips are soft, smooth and hydrated. This comes in a glass jar which I think helps makes it feel like the luxurious product that it is.

I have been enjoying using this for a while, but have found myself using it more recently now the weather has turned colder to stop my lips getting dry. This is usually £9.50, which I think is a good price for this and I would buy it again. 

I am sure this is the first Nuxe product I have tried, but after using this I would like to try some more. Do you have any Nuxe products you would recommend or that you have tried and didn't like?

Thanks for reading :)

Primark Christmassy/Winter Throw

Hello Lovelies, 

Today I wanted to show you something I bought on a recent shopping trip to Primark and that is this gorgeous Christmassy/Winter Throw. 

There is nothing I like more at this time of year than snuggle up in front of the telly after a day at work when it is cold, dark and wintry outside and this throw is perfect for this. I know this Throw is quite Christmassy and it is only November but I already have this on the corner of my sofa and will probably keep it there until the weather starts to get warmer.

It is quite big (125cm x 150cm) and is made of a fleecy material that is really soft. This was only £5 which I think is really good value and would be a lovely treat for yourself or make a lovely Christmas present. 

Have you got a Christmassy/winter throw that you really like?

Thanks for reading :)
