melony lip goodness!

If any of you have watched my most recent Youtube videos you'll no I've been loving matte formulations in lipsticks recently and unfortunately as beautiful as they look on the lips they absolutely reek havoc in causing them to look and feel dried out, which is something I personally really hate the feeling of, therefore I found myself on the hunt for something that provided beautiful colour, as the liquid lipsticks do but also gives lots of moisture and plumps those bad boys back to life again..

The Stila Lip Glazes were a product I'd heard alot about over the years but for some reason had never picked one up, until I was asked by the lovely guys over at Stila, if I would like to try one out!

I chose the shade Watermelon, which as I'm sure you can see from the photos is such a gorgeous summery pink shade, and smells exactly as the name would suggest too, they are really true to colour once on the lips and rather pigmented for a gloss too, usually I find neutral glosses tend to disappear on my lips, as the natural colouring of mine are quite dark, but the formulation of these allow the colour to completely show through which gives them huge brownie points in my books.

Now usually I'm usually someone who quite likes a sticky gloss as I tend to find these have the greatest longevity in my opinion, therefore meaning they are providing more hydration throughout the day, while the Lip Glazes aren't super sticky, they are very hydrating and extremely long lasting, again big brownie points.

I'd almost go to say that they are pretty high up there in my favourite lip products, which is saying something.. as I have ALOT.

I'm really impressed with the shade I picked up, and will definitely be adding a few more to my ever growing collection, Have any of you tried these, what are your thoughts on them, I'd love to know if you have any recommendations on shades I should pick up, or anything else from Stila you think I would like, let me know below!

Dior - Fluid Stick - Kiss Me

Afternoon my lovelies, today im going to ramble on about another lip product ive added to my already big enough stash, and that comes from one of my favourite brands the wonderful Dior.

Dior Makeup have brought out a new release of these lipstick/lipgloss hybrids that every brand seems to be releasing a version of recently, they are a gorgeous formula, very pigmented whilst nourishing on the lips, there is also 16 colours in the collection, so something to suit everyone!

I chose the colour Kiss Me, aside from the cute name i loved the shade, i seem to have been on a mission this month so find the 'perfect pink' for me, as much as im loving my Hourglass Origami (post below) ive been using this for when i want a heavier pigmented pink on the lips rather than a flush of colour, and this does that perfectly in one sweep.

The fluid sticks contain water for maximum lightness on the lips, they literally feel asif you have applied a lip balm but provide intense colour at the same time, perfect for days when you have no time for touch ups as they create a stain underneath the gloss, so when it wears off you still have pretty lips :)

Ecxuse the pale awkward face, wearing Kiss Me (freshly applied)

I also adore the packaging, housed in the typical Dior lipstick style, it looks like a lipstick from the outside but when you twist the lid it reveals the doe foot applicator keeping the lipstick shape intact!

They also have a really lovely scent about them, which i love!

Have any of you picked up one of these yet? If so what colours did you go for, id love to try some more, what are you reccomendations?

See you soon, Frankie x

Hourglass - Extreme Sheen Lipgloss - Origami

Yep its that's little pink beauty above, the Hourglass Extreme Sheen Lipgloss, a very luxurious little present to myself.

Origami has to be the prettiest spring pink you could pick, one swoop of this loveliness on your lips and your set for a picnic in the park, the formula is just as beautiful too, think pigmented but not sticky, nourishing but not wet, it has the perfect consistency for transitioning from day to night-time, just add a second layer and your good to go for that perfect pink lip along with a gorgeous tan and little dress.

I adore these doe-foot style applicators, this has a large one but is completely fool-proof to apply, I love the way I can literally pop this on the go without a mirror at hand and know that it will look perfected, products like this are a must in my life as im always busy and like to be an 'train journey makeup on the goer'

I also have a personal little place for this lipgloss is my heart as it literally smells to me like my holiday to Cuba with Sam, the scent of it reminds me of suncream i wore whilst there and it literally makes me feel warm inside when i apply it as it just takes me back to my favourite place with my favourite person <3

The lovely sales assistant in Space NK was wearing another of the hourglass shades in Nectar which is the next one on my list to pick up, but I instantly knew Origami was the first shade I should pick up as it just suited my needs for the perfect pink daytime gloss, I definitely think after trying the Tanya Burr range im now a fond lover of gloss again, which needless to say my lips are loving all this hydration after years of matte mac lippies :)

Have any of you tried anything from Hourglass and have any reccomendations for me, let me know lovelies!

eve lom - kiss mix..

I just wanted to write a mini post on this wonder i recently brought, the Eve Lom - Kiss Mix, its a beautiful minty lipbalm with super moisturizing properties!

House inside beautiful, simplistic, typlical Eve Lom packaging, this beauty acts as a sunscreen aswell as protecting against the harsh winter winds so is ideal for use all year round, perfect for this cold weather we have coming up!

I like to pair this with a lip scrub just before bed to really allow it to penetrate into my lips, it has a lovely tingling/cooling sensation which makes you feel like its really working on those chapped lippies, i always wake up with beautifully soft smooth lips :)

Overall i love this little pot of menthol goodness, its perfect for applying before and after lipstick to make it less drying on the lips and is a lovely little gloss by its self, it also has really good staying power so good for days when you havent got much time to keep applying products!

Have any of you tried Kiss Mix?

yves saint laurent - volupte's..

Evening girls (and the occasional guy) i wanted to post just a mini haul of two lip products i brought at the weekend as they are just to godamn beautiful not to share with you all :)

I picked these up from my local House Of Fraser on Saturday, i had gone shopping with my nan (shes actually rather young at heart so going shopping with her is quite fun, im sure she might read this and be over the moon i said that, HI NAN)

I actually intended on picking up one of the glossy stains from YSL but couldnt seem to find one that i really wanted to go home with, i have one of the Rouge Sheer Candys already and love the colour of it, but wanted something a little more neautral for daytime and something i can just chuck on for work..

I chose this beaut #9 from the Sheer Candy collection, this range is super moisturizing, there more like a very pigmented lip balm and give your lips so much moisture which is so good for this time of year and the cold weather coming our way!

The second one i picked up was #15 Rouge Volupte Shine in Coral

These are meant to be lipsticks but again i think they are more like a pigmented lip balm but this time they have alot more colour pay off and are a little more longer lasting on the lips and a thicker formula, i definitely prefer the pigmentation of these compared the the Sheer Candy's but i wouldnt use them for a night out or somewhere i needed a lipstick to stay on all day as they just dont last very long on the lips!

Overall i really like them, i also absolutely love the packaging, in my personal opinion there is not better looking lipstick out there, they look exspensive, chic and such high quality, i just wish i could collect them all :)

Have any of you tried or have these, whats your favourite colours ?

Love Frankie xXx
