Starting Off; Lipgloss/Stick ♥

Woah, the second to last week for 'The So Project'..I can't believe this has gone soo quick! I have slightly cheated with this post, as I actually used this whole post on a guest blog post for someone else! However, the lip products I was going to choose for this weeks starting off would have been the exact same, so I have just tweeked the post and used the same pictures! Hope you all enjoy and let me know you fav lip products! 

First up, is my newest purchase from Revlon...this is there lip butter in 'Sorbet'. I have always heard so much about these little gems, and really wanted to try one out for myself and when I had the chance to buy one - I jumped with joy. These butters are so moisturising and feel amazing on your lips, there is also a wide range of colours some which are highly pigmented so that the colour shows on your lips and others that are sheer for those of us that aren't very daring. This one is a mix of both, and I love it to death and it smells amazing too. 

Next up, is a product that the blogger world can be blamed for! This is one of the two  Rimmel Apocalips Lip Lacquers that I own - this is in the shade  'Celestial'. This is such a pretty nude pink colour and is great for the night time and day time on your lips, the formula of these lip lacquers is also great because they don't feel sticky and feel very light on the lips. The brush on these however are quite frightening as they pile a lot of product on, so the best way to apply is using the underneath of the wand.

Don't you just love the drug store? One of my favourite budget brands are MUA, they basically bring out all the dupes for the high end and expensive stuff! This is one of their lipsticks, that have recently been re packaged so that the bottom circle can come off - and stores a little bit of extra product. This is in the shade 'Nectar' and is a bright, bold orange colour that goes on your lips and looks beautiful. These lipsticks last for a very long time on your lips and apply so softly. 

This is another Revlon beauty and this is one of there lip glosses in the shade 'Peony'. This is a light, beige pink colour that actually applies and looks sheer and glittery on the lips, I find that it looks great on its own and on top of other lip products especially with the products I have mentioned above. The sponge applicator is great and evenly distributes the product across your lips and leaves your lips looking great!

And finally, I have one of them staple 'I couldn't live without' lip glosses! This is a limited edition BarryM lip gloss I got from a Impulse bottle ages ago, thanks to Nicole telling me! This is a clear, glittery lip gloss that is basically sheer on you lips and on it own it looks amazing as well as it looking great on top of another colour. The only thing about using this on top of other lip colours is that it stains the applicator as it is white :( but oh well - a great product!

Lush | Catastrophe Cosmetic Face Mask Review ♥

These winter/autumn masks are really good to my skin, which is a surprise because I suffer from really dry skin. Saying that though, it does have a tendency to break out loads. In a recent trip to Lush, I asked the lovely assistant which mask she would recommend for skin that breaks out ect and she said  'Catastrophe Cosmetic' which is deep cleansing mask.

Here is what Lush say; "here to lend you a bit of perspective, to tell you to calm down, it’s not the end of the world and it’s nothing that can't be sorted. Basically, this is your best mate in a pot."

This little tub has been my number one skin saviour these past few weeks, due to the fresh blueberries that it contains you have to keep it in the fridge and there is a certain date to finish it up. I seem to have got more use out of the mask then it says on the pot which is 4. The texture is very weird, as it isn't soft and smooth but not rough and gritty. I apply this all over my face every week for 10 minutes; until it is dried up and use a hot wash cloth to wipe it all away. 

I don't instantly see a difference, but after a good few hours my skin feels and looks amazing. It is so much softer, brighter and has calmed down loads. 

If you are like me and suffer from sensitive skin that is dry and sometimes oily, then this mask is for you! This is also my first time trying a Lush face mask and it won't be the last time either.

5/5 for this! 

Revlon Lip Butter Collection | Review + Swatches ♥

These not so little and quite expensive lip butters are a addiction of mine, from only having one I know own three. This post will show you a review and swatches of 'Sorbet', 'Berry Smoothie' and 'Peach Parfait' I can't pick a Favourite as they are all so amazing!

Packaging

I really love the 'faux-quilted' pattern on the tube covers, it looks elegant and adds a little bit of design without being too much. I also really like how the tops of them are clear, so that it enables you to look through the top and see what it looks like. The lids also match the colour of the lip butter which is lovely, as it is coordinating! 

Berry Smoothie ( left swatch) - The shade is a light, cool-toned mauvy pink which doesn’t look over the top during day time since it’s sheer and the shimmer is very subtle. Of all three I have, this is the best for a night time look as well as for suiting every skin tone as it just balances everything out. 

Peach Parfait (middle swatch) - When swatched it makes it look really sheer, but when on lips the colour is really pigmented and makes your lips look really natural and gives them this lovely peachy colour. I find my self always going to this one for an everyday nude lip, as it doesn't make it too over powering - just subtle. 

Sorbet (right swatch) - Sorbet is what I would call a medium bright pink colour with cool undertones. You can build it up to its full intensity in 2-3 swipes, it covers up pigmented lips quite well. If you’re looking for a flattering bright pink lip colour, this is a great option! This is super pigmented and lasts for good 4 hours on my lips leaving the colour on there like a stain. Out of all of them, this is very glossy. 

Overall, I love love love these! They are so moisturising and feel amazing on your lips, they slide on your lips just like normal lip balm yet the colour is so much more intense then your regular tinted lip balms. There are loads of shades in the range, wonder which I should try next?

Top 5 Autumn/Winter Nail Polishes ♥

If any of you haven't guessed already, then let me in on a little secret .. I adore painting my nails! I don't care what time of day it is, or what mood I am! Painting my nails releases my stress and having polish on my bare nails makes my day when I look at them and really like the view! Today I bring you my fav's for autumn winter, the best time to get out all those deep colours and put away the bright pastels. I love these upcoming seasons and the transition from the summer months into the colder months couldn't make me more excited! Picking and narrowing it down to my top 5 was not easier!

Just looking at the picture is making me want to paint my nails yet again! I also bought my self some nail wheels as they are so much easier to show you the nail colours on them my uneven, not manicured nails! 

Barry M Gelly in Blackberry - I go on and on and about these Gelly nail polishes and if you are fed up of me then just say so! But honestly you guys I am not even lying the formula of these are amazing and they are so glossy and last for a lifetime on your nails!This lovely deep blue colour is perfect for the autumn time!

Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Wet Cement - This is one of those poundland buys and my oh my I am impressed! I freaking love Sally Hansen and everything that they do, but a polish is something I have never tried but now I will be trying out more. This grey colour is very unusual as I have never seen a colour quite like it, very cool toned and looks perfect on your nails. 

Rimmel Lasting Finish in Black Cherries - Currently wearing this on my toes, I have become to realise why exactly I bought it last year. For me personally, this is my one and only true berry love. At first glance in the bottle it seems a very deep purple, then when on your nails after two coats it is a dark purple/ black. The name sounds so wintry and the colour is just heavenly. 

MUA Moody Mink - Next up is a all time favourite from MUA - moody mink. I love their polishes, and this is why I fell in love with them in the first place..and moody mink (love the name as well it sounds so sweet and innocent). This is what I would call taupe and what a beautiful taupe it is. If you have never tried an MUA polish I would give it a go, for £1 you are getting a lovely nail polish that may not be great quality but is amazing. 

Sinful Colours in Go Go Girl - I am loving Sinful Colours at the moment, and for only £1.99 they are amazing quality! Go Go Girl doesn't just have a cute name it is an amazing colour, it did take 3 thin coats to build it up, but after it did I fell in love with it. Christmas time is the best time for red polishes and this is my favourite colour ever. 

All of the nail polishes in the picture swatch above is without any top coat! Hope you enjoyed this post and let me know your favourites down below...
