Shepherd's Delight.

I won't deny that I wasn't excited when I heard that Kate Moss was releasing a bunch of cosmetics through Rimmel. It was pretty obviously she would eventually but I just had to go out that day and buy most of the lipsticks because as we all know... I'm a lipstick junkie!
I used to be obsessed with reds and couldn't find one to rival an Anew lipstick I got from Avon in Cranberry. 
Until. I. Saw. This.
It's Shade 01 and it is the same exact colour as my Anew lipstick.
  • This is a beautiful colour. It's definitely a cranberry colour and matches a Rimmel nail polish I have to a T.
  • The smell of the lipsticks are addictive. I love it so much and I realise how strange that sounds but it's a lovely, sweet smell!
  • The packaging on these lipsticks is lovely. I usually hate the bright, metallic, cheap cases on their usual lipsticks but this one is chic and the Kate signature on the side just makes it even more amazing.
  • This lipstick itself is moisturising and it's longwearing but it does tint your lips so it can be hard to take off if you've have it on for a few hours. 
  • The lipstick is a sheen-esque formula. It's a little glossy and looks lovely in pictures.
Overall, I'll give it an 8/10.
Two marks down for the plastic packaging still. I know it's a highstreet/drugstore lipstick but I just hate plastic.
It's more of a personal prejudice rather than an overall downgrade.
It's only £5.49 which I think is a bargain. I also have shades 03, 04, 05!

My Travel Make Up!

Whenever I travel or just stay at my boyfriend's place... I just want to take all of my make up but it's just not possible. I did take my huge make up case to Mikey's once but it was sooo heavy and inconvenient.
So I went to Primark for the first time in April... yes, it really was the first time and I saw this really cute & huge polka dot cosmetic case and I knew I had to have it. It's not too big that it doesn't fit into my bags but I do carry huge bags...
 This is everything I carry... I don't usually carry Soap & Glory's Hand Food because I don't like it but I want to use it up!
This is all of my every day make up at the moment. My foundation will change from time to time and I'm finishing Bourjois' concealer and then going back to Collection 2000's as it so much better.
Revlon's Photoready Foundation in Shell. £12.99.
**Bourjois' Healthy Mix Concealer in Eclat Clair. £7.49.
**Rimmel's Stay Matte Pressed Powder in Transparent. £3.99.
The patterned brushes are all by No7. They were a gift and these particular ones aren't in Boots anymore.
The bronzing powder is from The Body Shop and was also discontinued but they have more.
The highlighting stick is by Topshop and is still in store but not on their website.
I love blusher. It's my favourite make up product to buy along with lipstick and I have so many. These are the ones I use most and love to travel with.
The mixed palette is by Ted Baker and was a gift with two other similar palettes. It was a Christmas edition set.
Accessorize's Merged Blush in So Pretty. £5.00.
MAC's Mineralized Blush in Gentle. £19.00.
Topshop's Blush in Powdered. £6.00.
My favourite shades to use are Virgin, Sin, Darkhorse and Hustle. Gorgeous.
Revlon's Super Lustrous Lipstick in Pink in the Afternoon. £7.49.
MAC's Lipstick in Pink Nouveau. £13.50.
MAC's Amplified Lipstick in Girl About Town. £13.50.
MAC's Matte Lipstick in Pink Plaid. £13.50.
Bourjois' Eyeliner. Discontinued.
Urban Decay's Super Curling Mascara. £15.00. *usually, but I got it in the Book of Shadows Palette*
Urban Decay's Eyeshadow Primer Potion. £14.50. *usually, but I got it with the Naked Palette*
Black eyeshadow blending brush by M&S. Discontinued.


**Two stars indicate that I wouldn't and will never repurchase these items again!

Getting ready today...

I always do my hair first... then I just scoop it out of the way after... I like my make up to be as fresh as possible when I head out so I do it last. I don't mind if my hair gets a little messy between finishing it and leaving the house.
Foundation is done and then I fill in my eyebrows and do my eyeshadow and liner. I do like a dramatic brow and I know it's not to everyone's taste but it makes me happy. I use natural colours and they're all Urban Decay. I love their shadows the most.
I'm using Brighton Rock by Topshop. I love how bright it is! It's a great statement lipstick and especially teamed with Sky High nail polish by Rimmel. I'm almost out of it! 
All done! 
Hope you all have a fabulous day!
