Review: Pouty Lipzz

At the moment I find celebrities seem to be all about the pout, the huge lips but what they seem to not get quite right is that they don't look natural, personally the more natural the more beautiful so here is a product to help achieve a natural pout.

Pouty Lipzz is a new brand which has come to the UK. Pouty Lipzz's is a clear, fragrance free lipgloss in a sleek tube which is meant to make lips "look instantly more contoured, plumped, fuller and moisturised".

Pouty Lipzz states that it can give up to 40% more volume when applied three times a day for 29 days.

What I love about this product is that it doesn't hurt, it makes me feel awake and minty fresh but in no way does it irritate or cause pain so its a winner. Whether I got a 40% improvement on my volume I got to say I couldn't tell by how much in percentage wise but after 2 weeks I have found that I prefer to wear this gloss on top of lipstick to help create a Kylie Jenner lip look, it helps give me a natural pout to give any lip filler a run for its money!

Available at www.poutylipzz.co.uk for £19.99.

Review: MAC Angel Lipstick

Hi Loveys,

Here is my review of the famous Kim Kardashian favourite MAC Angel lipstick. This is a frost finish meaning it is slightly glossy, moisturising, with a shimmery colour. The colour is not long lasting like the matte finishes but still it wears well. The shade Angel is loved by Kim Kardashian, it is a lip colour but better if that makes sense! It is such a pretty nude that would look gorgeous with a smokey eye!

This lipstick is one that I know will be added to ever growing favourite lipstick list! Literally I have a huge favourites list! Have you tried this lipstick? If so what did you think? What is your favourite MAC lipstick?

Review: Clinique Chubby Stick!

Hey Loveys!

How are you all? I have had a thought today, oh my its 2014, its nearly Valentines, then birthdays galore in March, then it will be Easter! Its insane how fast this year is already going! I know its what everyone says.

Todays review is on a present I received for Christmas from my beautiful friend. I had been talking about how I would love to try Clinique chubby sticks and was so excited when I received this! So thanks to my beautiful friend!

This is Clinique stick was what started the revolutionary lip colour balm beauties available on the highstreet! The shade I received was 15 Pudgy Peony, a soft girly pink shade that is super soft and glides on easily, it is such a pretty colour but I wouldn't say it was opaque but you can build it up, I would say it is more of a natural payoff, if that makes sense! It is such a gorgeous pink shade that is perfect to wear all year round. It is hydrating and does last quite well and is super handy for daytime wear especially if you want just a pop of colour.

You can purchase these here

Have you tried these? I would loved to try some other shades!

Review: MAC Pink Nouveau Lipstick

Hello Loveys,

Here is a review on a MAC lipstick that is perfect for spring summer! It is the shade Pink Nouveau which is a satin finish meaning it has a matte finish but with an added sheen and opaque coverage. This pink shade is what I would call a perfect Barbie pink, a bright girley pink that adds a pretty pastel shade to the lips, this would be perfect for the spring summer season with the pastel shades that the fashion world has unveiled for our eyes from pretty pastel pinks to blues and yellow, this lipstick would go perfectly with all those shades.

It lasts well but does need to be reapplied at least once like most lipsticks, I found it was moisturising and added a pretty pop of colour to my face, I honestly have found another MAC favourite! Not sure how many favourites I am allowed!?

Have you tried this lipstick? If so what did you think?

Review: MAC Up The Amp Lipstick

Hello loveys,

How are you all? Hope you are all well! I am not enjoying this weather that's for sure! What terrible storms we have here in the UK, I hope you are all safe and well as know they have caused terrible circumstances for many.

MAC, Up The Amp, Purple, Lipstick, Review, Blogger, Pretty,

Todays post is on the MAC Up The Amp Lipsitck, a purple blue toned shade that can scare a few people, but no need to fear as this would suit so many skin types!

This amplified formula is easy to apply, moisturising with a shiny finish and opaque colour, and as always with MAC I find the formula lasts well on my lips.

This is such a pretty shade that is so unusual which is definitely a shade you may need to get used to but you either mix it up with other shades or wear alone with simple eye makeup such as a winged liner on the eyes and warm bronzer.

I love this lipstick and would definitely recommend this to you lovely lot, a great lipstick for those wanting to step out of their comfort zone without going to an extreme. This gorgeous shade will be great when spring arrives, a lovely addition to your lipstick collection.

Have you tried this shade?

Review: Maybelline Babylips in Pink Punch

Maybelline, Pink, Punch, Lip, Balm, Babylips, Review, Superdrug, Whispersfromangels

Hello Loveys!

Todays review is on the Maybelline Babylips in Pink Punch. I had heard so much about these and was never quite sure on what the hype was all about. I was in my local Superdrug when I saw them, I had a think and thought why not lets jump on the bandwagon.

Maybelline states these offer 8hour moisture and protection, a revolutionary balm with SPF 20.

The packaging isn't amazing, its bright and eye catching, but not sure what I think of the baby lips writing on the lip balm itself. It does have a handy retractable tube, and the balm goes right in the tube unlike others, so no broken lip balm!

They have various shades and scents available, and I chose Pink Punch, a pink punch fruity scent which is quite sweet but not sickly.

I applied this on my way to work and loved the feeling, it was moisturising and made my lips soft after applying. Maybelline states it offers 8 hour protection, not sure I agree as I felt I needed to reapply after a couple of hours.

Pink Punch is a cold toned pink with a shimmer, but if you want fantastic pigmentation and bold colours then don't pick these as they aren't created to give that affect, they only give a "hint of colour". The colour didn't stay on long and I found the balm gathered on my lip, it didn't sink in particularly well to ensure my lips were intensely moisture.

I would like to purchase another shade, as I do think are handy and for £2.99 you cant go terribly wrong. I don't think it looks up to the hype but sometimes when products are hyped so much they then aren't seen as great as the expectation is on such a high level!

Have you tried these?

Which is your favourite?

Review: Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick

Hello Beauty Kings and Queens!

Here is a review on a lipstick that I find is a perfect shade for the summer! The lipstick I am reviewing is the Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in 415 Pink In The Afternoon!

review revlon lipstick swatch pink makeup

Revlon state this lipstick is "infused with silk and vitamins for smooth,conditioning colour". I would definately agree that this lipstick is smooth and has a great colour that lasts. The lipstick is moisturising and comes in 31 colours! Ranging from red, orange and nudes! It retails at £7.49 on boots.

I dont mind the packaging, it has gold detailing which some find tacky but I dont think it does particularly look that bad, it doesnt look cheap at all.

The thing that puts me off this lipstick is that after a while of wearing it, it creases! So when wearing it I make sure that I am rubbing my lips together, sounds odd I know! But the shade is so perfect for summer that I cant resist wearing it!

Have you ever tried this range?

Review: Bellapierre Super Gloss

vanilla pink review lipgloss bellapierre

Hello Beauty Queens and Kings!

I have got a lovely review for you all on the blog today. A Bellapierre Cosmetics Super Gloss Lipgloss in Vanilla Pink that I recieved in a Glossybox.

Bellapierre Cosmetics was founded by David Oren in 2005. The company produce and manufacture there own products, they are the "fastest growing" mineral makeup brand. They are 100% natural and can be found on

lipgloss review pink bellapierre vanilla beauty

I love the packaging of this liploss, with a handy size to pop in your clutch bag, with a great angled applicator. The colour "Vanilla Pink" sounds scrumptious and girly.

The scent is sweet and smells of vanilla cupcakes! The colour goes on well and has a good pigmentation which I dont find with many lipgloss'. I do not find it lasts particularly long but it is a lipgloss that can be worn alone or on top of your favourite lipstick.

Here is a swatch of the fab shade, an everyday shade which is easy to wear with any colour outfit or lipstick.

Have you tried this brand before?

MAC Lipstick Review Twig

Hello Loveys!

MAC Twig Lipstick

As you all know I LOVE MAC lipsticks! I was super lucky to have six empty MAC items to give to the counter to get my free lipstick, known as "back to MAC". I was in a hurry to quickly chose the shade Twig. A satin finish lipstick that is a brown neutral that has a pink tinge.

What is satin finish?

Satin finish is a creamy slightly shear lipstick that is semi-matt.

The lipstick is gorgeous, it applies well and gives my lips a lovely natural finish that doesnt leave my lips feeling dry. The shade is a slightly darker tone then my natural lip colour so is great to wear when I have created smokey eyes! It isnt as long lasting as MAC matte shades but still wore well and I didnt need to reapply repeatedly!

Fifty Shades Of Colour #22!

Monday! The weekend flew past! Cant believe it! I did nothing, just stayed at home and popped to my parents, nothing wild, but todays look is a little crazy! Lady Gaga inspired! From her video Paparazzi! Black lips and clean crisp eyes!

Firstly I put foundation all over, I put concealer on my eyes and lips. Next I outlined my black cupid lips using black gel eyeliner and filled them in. I then applied white shadow to my lids and under my brow, flick of eyeliner and white eye pencil to my lower lash line. Finally I added lashings of mascara to complete the look! What do you think?
