Review: Lipstick Queen Rear View Mirror Lip Lacquer

Rear View Mirror Lip Lacquer in shade Berry Tacoma
Lipstick Queen knows how to make a great lip product. I've loved the brand for years and can vouch for the performance and quality of each of its lipsticks. The Aussie brand recently launched a new lacquer range and I've been loving it. It is called Rear View Mirror and it is designed to emulate the same reflective surface of a shiny new car. Ambitious.

Review: MDMflow Supreme Liquid Lipstick

MDMflow-Supreme-Liquid-Matte-Lipstick-Review

MDMflow is a relatively new beauty brand inspired by 90s-00s glamour that comes from the hip hop culture - can I get a fucking yas kween? The brand offer lipsticks, liquid matte lipsticks and a mascara, with more products to come soon I'm sure. Earlier this year I finally had the opportunity to try an MDMflow product - the Supreme Liquid Matte Lipstick - and I finally understood what the fuss was all about. This liquid lipstick is fucking bomb...

The Tuesday Tip: Lipstick Before Liner

Smashbox-Always-Sharp-Lip-Liner -Nude-Light-Review

When it comes to applying lipstick, the standard rule is that lip liner should come first. Most girls apply liner before lipstick to help them see and trace the natural line of their lips. However this doesn't necessarily make the lipstick look better, it just helps with application. So I like to break the rules and apply my liner last. Imma bad bitch after all...

Urban Decay Slay


If there is one brand that really understands the mantra 'Go Hard or Go Home', it is Urban Decay and the beauty giant's latest launch embodies it. Urban Decay has created a new lipstick range called Vice. But we're not talking about a six, or even 12, shade collection...there are 100 of the motherfuckers and every one of them is to die for. Oh and did I mention that ultimate bad bitch Ruby Rose fronts the ad campaign?!

Review: Illamasqua Equinox Collection


Illamasqua-Equinox-Review

I couldn't have been more excited to review the Illamasqua Equinox collection. Inspired by a "desert at night, engulfed by the starry skies and the constellations of the universe above", the mystic collection features rich broken golds, deep burnished hues and glittering pigments that suit all skin tones.

The new five-piece collection includes a gold liquid eyeliner, eyeshadow palette, red lipstick, pearlescent metallic nail polish and a pair of false eyelashes. I got my claws into three Equinox products and used two of them to create the look below. Here are my thoughts on each...

Illamasqua-Equinox-Review-Swatch-Makeup-Look

Broken Gold (£18.50) is a gold liquid eyeliner designed for creating metallic accents on the eyes. It is highly pigmented, super shimmery and stays put longer than most liquid eyeliners! It creates a gorgeous shattered gold effect that can be worn alone or layered over other shadows. Although it's designed for application around the eye area, Broken Gold also looks great on the lips...if you're feeling brave!

Review: Urban Decay Matte Revolution Lipstick in Matte Temper


Urban-Decay-Matte-Revolution-Lipstick-Matte-Temper-Review

The Price: £15.50

The Stockist: urbandecay.co.uk

The Shade: Orange-red

The Application: The Matte Revolution Lipstick is rich and creamy and feels like butter on the lips. This is because it's formulated with ingredients such as avocado oil, olive oil, shea butter and vitamin E, which help to nourish and protect the lips. Because of these great ingredients, the lipstick applies easily and does not drag on the lips, which is rare for a matte lipstick. As for colour, the lipstick is so highly pigmented that one coat is enough to completely cover the lips.

Weekly Worship: Bourjois & Decléor



Price: £8.99 / $13.49

Stockist:
Boots / feelunique.com

One of my favourite makeup launches this year has to be the new Bourjois Rouge Edition Aqua Lipstick. It is a lipstick...but not as you know it. It is a mixture between a lipgloss, lipstick and lip stain...and I freakin' love it. The collection includes eight gorgeous colours that apply oh-so-easily. The non-sticky formula glides across the lips and feels incredibility lightweight, like you're wearing nothing. What's even better is that the lipstick contains nymphaea extract, a natural hydrator that smooths and moisturises the lips as you wear it.

Each colour in the range is highly pigmented and leaves the glossiest finish on the lips. Now, this gorgeous glossy finish doesn't last all day however, when it fades, you are left with a beautifully stained lip that holds its colour for hours.


Price: £32.00 / $49.00 100ml

Although this next product doesn't launch until the 1st April, I have to share my love for it immediately! It is the Decléor Aroma Nutrition Satin Softening Dry Oil, aka The Body Moisturising Master. This oil is just amazing. Being a dry oil, it absorbs into the skin almost immediately. I am not usually a fan of body oils, as I rarely have the patience to wait around for them to soak into my skin, but this one changes everything - it is the perfect product for a fussy gal like me. After each application, my skin is left deeply moisturised and soo soft.

The experience of applying the Aroma Nutrition Dry Oil is a pleasure all on its own. Firstly because it applies easily - gliding onto the skin quickly and evenly - and secondly, because it smells absolutely amazing. Like, seriously amazing. It contains frankincense essential oil and lipid-replenishing camellia oil, which blend together to make the body smell beautiful.
