My top 5 lip products!

My favourite makeup items are lip products, so I thought I would share with you my top 5!

1. MUA lipstick in shade 13 (Not available online, may be available in your local Superdrug!)
This is a really bright, barbie pink colour and I think it is a great colour for summer! However, on the lips it doesn't come out this bright, it looks more like a subtle baby pink which I love, as I wouldn't be brave enough to wear this out! And for £1 you can't really go wrong!

2. Rimmel by Kate moss lipstick in 05 (Buy Here)
The Kate moss lipsticks are amazing! They have a really matte finish and stay on the lips all day! 

3. Topshop lipstick in 'Nevada' (Buy Here)
This is the perfect nude for pale skin, as it has a slight pink colour to it so it doesn't wash you out! It also smells amazing! The only thing with this lipstick is that you do normally have to re-apply it during the day, but it is such a nice colour!

4. MAC dazzle glass in 'out for glamour' (Not available online, may be available at your local MAC counter!)
I really love this as it has flecks of glitter in which makes It shimmer and it looks perfect on a night out! It doesn't feel sticky on the lips like a lot of lip glosses too

5. Smashbox lip enhancing gloss in 'Illume' (Buy Here)
This lipgloss is a nude with little shimmers in it. However when you apply this to your lips it comes out as a 'your lips but better' as there is no change in the colour of your lips, but it makes them shiny. This is a good lipgloss as it is not sticky, and it's a perfect mini size to put in your bag!

Benifet 'They're Real' Mascara Review!

As most of you know a few months ago, Elle magazine offered a mini bottle of the benefit 'they're real' mascara for £4-so I jumped onto the bandwagon and bought it!

        

I had heard amazing things about this mascara, and I couldn't wait to try it! Especially as it is the UK's best selling, I just couldn't justify spending £19.50 on the large version before trying it!

At first the only problem I had was that it hurt my eyelid, as the wand is quite hard.
However, after using it again and getting used to it I now really like it and I can definitely see what all the hype is about!

Things I love about it:
- my eye lashes definitely look more volumised and longer!

- it stays on all day without smudging.

- it brightens up my eye

- it doesn't weigh my eyelid down 

- there is a huge difference between my eye without it on and my eye with it on!

(Eye on the left is with 2 coats of the they're real mascara, eye on the right is with no mascara)

(Both eyes with the 2 coats of the they're real mascara)

Things I don't like about it
- the price, £19.50 is a lot for one mascara! However you don't need to use that much product so it will last a long time

Overall I really like this mascara! I do think it's a bit too pricey, but the mascara is so good I will definitely be treating myself the full size version when my smaller one runs out! It is the best mascara I have come across and I really recommend it!
