A Dreamy Review

I've never bought anything from 17 as I presumed it was a brand solely aimed at teens and tweens who were just looking for their first make up so I didn't think anything would appeal to me. I figured it'd be bright, in-your-face colours and have too much scent and no moisture for my lips.

I was wrong... I love this lipstick.

It's quite matte which I LOVE but I know a lot don't. The colour is one that I haven't seen before and it goes on a lot brighter than it is in the solid form. 

It's not the most moisturising lipstick in the world but it doesn't stick to any dry bits and it lasts a long time.

I will be buying more when I never go into town and I look forward to it too!

The packaging is really lovely but IDK if I could stand the bright blue packaging they also have for lipsticks.

Buy it here on the Boots website.

At £4.29... can I really complain much?

Go on, treat yourself!

Nevada's not so hot.

This lipstick... not much to say! I love the texture, I love the packaging, I love the colour... just not on me!

It's a buy that will probably be used once or twice a year... under gloss!

It makes me feel so blahhhh and boring. I hate it!

I have one other nude that I want to review but after that I give up! I can't be bothered wasting the money and then being so disappointed with something!

If you absolutely love nude colours and can pull them off then I'd say get this because it's £8.00 and the texture is amazing. It's a matte and definitely has some staying power. It does cling to dry bits on your lips though so moisturise, moisturise, moisturise!

Brighton Rocks!

I'm so, so, so, so happy that Topshop decided to do a beauty range because I am in love with their lipsticks and nail varnishes. Brighton Rock was my first lipstick and I use it at least once a week! It isn't one for the faint-hearted as it is very bright but I LOVE my bright lipsticks... if you couldn't tell already!

It's retailing at £8.00 but I think that's a bargain as I do wear it all the time!

It's a matte consistency... all of their lipsticks I've bought are either matte or semi-matte.

They do have a habit of sticking to dry bits but as long as long as you're all moisturised... you're good to go!

It doesn't glide on super soft and it isn't moisturising but if you love the matte look... these are definitely for you!

You can see me wearing it with a full face of make up here.

It's such a good make up to lift your mood as well! I always feel really peppy and confident!

I hope you all buy it here! I'd love you all to feel as happy and upbeat as I do!

Oh, and that packaging! I hope they don't change it! It's so adorable and quirky!

I also love the label at the bottom. Straight to the point. No numbers. No fuss!

Pink Plaid by MAC

I've always been a HUGE fan of matte lipsticks. I love Revlon's Pink Pout and it's clearly a dupe for MAC's Pink Plaid.

This is going to be a shock to everyone but I absolutely hate the scent of MAC's lipsticks and at £13.50... I'd rather buy Revlon at half the price.

I saw this in the store when I went to Liverpool and I couldn't resist even though it seemed very familiar!

I have to admit though... I love this lipstick. I love the texture, the colour... I even ignore the smell easily because it makes me feel so good!

I still think the price tag is very steep but it was a gift to myself and I don't smend stupid amounts on make up that I won't use and I use this at least 3 times a week!

The only warning I have to give before applying matte lipsticks is to make sure your lips are moisturised, moisturised, moisturised! Matte tends to stick to all of the dry bits on your lips.
