Vampy Lipsticks


(Left to Right - Diva, 107, Viva La Glam V, Rio Rio, Magnetism)

Hello! The berry shades are now taking the place of the peachy pinks in my current make up routine and I thought I'd share a few of my favourites with you.

MAC Diva - This is a deep burgundy red that has a matte finish. It is creamy in application but I've found it to be quite drying on the lips but a lip balm on top can solve this.

Rimmel Lasting Finish Matte Lipstick by Kate Moss - 107 - This is a deep berry shade which most people and their dogs own or know about. It is the perfect autumn shade and has great staying power and is not at all drying.

MAC Viva La Glam V - This is definitely a MLBB (my lips but better) shade and I can imagine it works well on all skin tones. It is quite a sheer colour with a slight glittery appearance. In the tube it looks more brown but it is pink when swatched. 

Topshop Lipstick in Rio Rio - Rio Rio is a beautiful red shade with orange undertones. This is my go-to red lipstick and it's such a lovely colour. It is matte and extremely pigmented. It is not drying and has great staying power.

Illamasqua Magnetism - Magnetism is a deep raspberry pink which is creamy in texture with a glossy sheen. 

What is your go to lipstick for autumn?

Illamasqua Haul



 I was recently very naughty and saw that Illamasqua were having an online sale so I obviously had to have a dabble. I thought I would share what I bought with you. 

Firstly, I saw that a few of their lipsticks were on sale. I LOVE a good lipstick and I obviously had to take advantage of this. I've never tried an Illamasqua lipstick and for that reason alone I had to add a few to my basket. I went for the shades Fable and Magnetism and both of these were £7.50 each.

- Magnetism - 



I also added a lipgloss to my basket. I'm going to be honest and say I'm not big on lip glosses because I find them too gloopy and sticky on my lips usually. The shade is called Frenzy and the colour of this lipgloss is what made me give it a try (and it was only £5!).



Finally, I thought I would try one of their powdered eyeshadows. I went for Succumb which is a pale colour which I thought was perfect for me as I'm not big on bright eyeshadows and from first try I'm loving it! This was only £7.50.



So, that's what I bought! I will review each product and let you know how they all shape up! I'd definitely recommend having a look at the sale if you're interested in Illamasqua as I saved around £40 from buying this!
