2 Seventeen Lip Products You Need To Try!

If you didn't already know then I am a lip product addict, no matter what brand, colour or type I love all things lips. The newest additions to my collection are from Seventeen, a brand I haven't ever really discovered. When I got the opportunity to test some out as part of their amazing Blogger Network I couldn't resist. Both are completely different to one another, but ones that you just need in your (forever) growing collection. 

First up we have a Lip Crayon in a shade that I have no idea of as I can't seem to find it on the packaging at all but nonetheless it is stunning. I would describe this as a 'baby pink but a muted one' in the sense that the crayon sheers it out. Thus giving you a your lips but better look and with a formula that isn't sticky it doesn't apply patchy on to the lips and gives your lips added moisture. The finish of this lipstick is glossy which is very different from any other lip crayon I have tried as they tend to be matte, but the shine in this crayon makes me like it even more as it lasts all day. These lip crayons are one of those budget friendly products that you can have millions of and use them everyday for a quickie and keep them with you on the go. 

Then we have the Stay Pout lipstick in the shade ' Rule Breaker', my new favourite Autumn shade. As the weather gets colder berry toned lips are a must have and look great with any eye look. This range is relatively new to Seventeen and contains added shea butter to give your lips a hydrating feel. I love that all Seventeen products are made to give your lips a added moisturised feel. Rule Breaker is a lovely berry shade with blue undertones making it cooler and suitable for all skin tones. When I applied it, a little bit smudged but then I used a lip brush to get into the annoying bits of my lips and it was all fine. The packaging is very sleek and the lasting power of this lipstick is remarkable, no fading, bleeding or drying out for my entire shift 9-5. 

The Stay Pout lipsticks come in a whole range of colours and when I was browsing the Boots website I now have my eye on Date Night another one for Autumn. 

Both of these lip products are great quality, budget friendly and ones that you need to try.

Worth The Hype - Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Hydrating Gel Cream

About two months ago, very blogger and vlogger was shouting out loud about the miracle product that is the bareMinerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Hydrating Gel Cream (what a mouthful in short Complexion Rescue).

The complexion rescue comes in a plastic tube with a squeezy applicator, although I would prefer a small pump - but i'm just fussy. I went with the shade TAN 07 as this was the closet match to my skin, but is still a tad too light for my skin. But with other products on top you can't really tell. 

I can't describe how this 'gel cream' feels, at first I was very worried as it felt like I was applying a watered down foundation on my face. Then after using both my fingers and a sponge to see which method is easier I decided that it isn't at all that bad. The coverage is light and great for when you are on the move however I found that you have to be quick. And I mean really quick, it dries like quick dry paint and then doesn't budge. It reduces redness and helps with evening out my skin tone, but this isn't something I would reach for when I was working/had a long day as it personally isn't enough coverage. 

The most noticeable thing about this gel cream is that it feels fresh and hydrating on the skin, I am able to wear this without having to apply a moisturiser underneath even when my skin is full of dry patches. The bareMinerals Complexion Rescue Creams isn’t at all rich in consistency– but very slippery in feel. It really is a great gel-cream; not cakey and with sheer coverage of SPF30 that leaves the skin with a slight sheen and a tiny hint of a glow. Very different to anything else I own. Is it worth the hype? Kind Of. I love the convenience of the product and the feel of the product. On the other hand I only got it because it was 'cheaper' in Dubai otherwise I would have never purchased it as there are many other products out on the market just like this aka the Bourjois CC Cream. 

I would love to know your thoughts on the Complexion Rescue Cream?!

Autumn Is Coming - Nails

Welcome to the first installment of Autumn is Coming, a series where I show you how I am getting ready for the transition into the new season and my favourite picks. Of course I have to kick things off with my nail colour's of the season, and as you can see I am kind of obsessed and all 9 are very similar. The first three are probably the ones I will be going for the most this year as they are by my favourite, the first two are more of your typical purple and then Paprika is a very unusual colour, burnt orange and it is stunning with an all cream outfit!

The next four are 'pedicure colour's' not to dark to make my fee look invisible but also still sticking to the autumnal colour. Uptown is a colour that I have now decided can be worn all year round, and the Ted Baker one (part of a gift set at xmas) looks stunning on the toes as it is all glittery and can be worn alone or on top. 

Finally we have two choices that I adore but maybe won't be using very often and that is because of the colour more than anything. Slip Stream is a bright purple, lovely but maybe not as autumn appropriate as I thought at first and Urban Purple is like the colour of wine and my skin tone like the latter looks washed out when wearing it.

Primark Homeware Haul

Next week it's the big day - the move up north to University! I am very exited, stressed and worried at the same time but I guess that it normal. The one thing that is really getting me excited is my room, I want to make it as homely as possible and for it to be like a home away from home - and what better way than to buy lots of bits from Primark.

This haul doesn't feature anything that is pretty but everything is matching. I have gone for a colour scheme of a muted/dusky pink that isn't so in your face, but also very neutral making it easier for me to use the same things all year round.

The first bits I picked up were bedding sets, and that it what set off the entire theme. The duvet set is grey with butterflies all over it, and with it I got sheets and a pillow case. I also picked up a bath math from Primark, following in the same colour theme. The towel and face towels are super soft and can't wait to use them for the first time. The two things that I am the most excited about are the hanger, a) because they match everything and b) because they are non-slip which are amazing as your clothes actually stay on the hangers.Then we have the laundry hamper which has the prettiest pattern on and a bargain of £3.

There are a lot more things I am getting, all will be shown in the upcoming weeks!
