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!

Travelling...

I actually really miss Edinburgh. It was such a stunning city and I cannot wait to go back!
But we've decided to travel around the UK first.
We're going to Cornwall and London this year and then hopefully we'll be in Ireland early 2013.
Mikey's uncle invited us to go to Sri Lanka in 2014 but I'm not sure I want to go!
There are so many other place we'd planned... like Paris and Rome! We're dying to go to Pompei.
Japan and Thailand is a biggy for me as well and Mike wants to go to Australia but for now... we'll stick to the little adventure that is the UK.

I love where I'm from and I love that Europe is just next door!

Edinburgh was the first official trip we had as a couple (took a damn while!) and it definitely won't be the last.
Hopefully you'll see Cornwall 2012&& London 2012!

Don't get me wrong... I have been to a lot of these places already but it's not the same when you're with someone you love to bits!
