Lipstick I Love: Rocking Red by Smooch Cosmetics
A girl can never have too many red lipsticks and I’m no exception. The latest member of my red lippie clan comes in the shape of this pin-up-perfect red from Smooch Cosmetics. Richly pigmented and vibrant with a glossy finish, *Rocking Red is one of those shades that I think would suit pretty much every skin tone. After a few hours of wear, the lipstick sort of stains the lips, leaving them looking lovely and ‘bitten’ but the gloss factor only sticks around for a short while. The formula is quite ‘wet’ so my only criticism of the lipstick is that it does tend to bleed and feather a little…

Lipstick I Love: MAC Jubilee
My collection of muted and barely-there lip shades seems to be growing lately and my latest addition is the sheer and wearable MAC Jubilee. A pretty beige nude shade, Jubilee is part of the lustre family so it applies smoothly and easily with a creamy gloss-like finish. I love the formula of the lustre lipsticks because they are so easily applied and the soft texture feels hydrating and lovely with just the right amount of stickiness, though the product does sit quite heavy on the lips, if that makes sense. Once again, this look is the complete opposite of what I usually go for but sometimes it’s nice to skip…

Lipstick I Love: MAC Russian Red Review
You may have noticed that I’m pretty partial to a red lip and I’m fairly sure that it’s one make up look that won’t be going out of fashion any time soon. Though I’m usually seen in brighter hues (Ruby Woo, I’m looking at you girlfriend), sometimes I need to channel my inner vamp(ire) and whip out something a teeny bit darker. It’s times like these that I turn to the slightly sultry Russian Red by MAC Cosmetics. Russian Red is a blue toned lipstick, therefore an instant smile brightener. It’s often compared to the cult MAC shade Ruby Woo, though it’s slightly darker. While both shades are a matte…

Lipstick I Love: Topshop Lips in Rio Rio
Topshop describe this gorgeous lip colour as a ‘bright red’. I may well be imagining things because I would call it a ‘ feisty bright orange/coral/red shade of utter fabulousness’. Technicalities aside, the official name for this shade is Rio Rio and I’m a little bit in lust with it. Rio Rio is £8 from Topshop This is a velvet, matte finish lipstick that feels creamy and hydrating on the lips thanks to skin loving ingredients such as shea butter and rice bran wax. Rio Rio is a perfect name for this lippy because this colour actually makes me feel like dancing at a carnival in very little clothing. If I do this,…

Lipstick I Love: MAC Viva Glam V
I visited Harvey Nichols today with my mum for the first time in a very long time and accidentally ended up in a chair being colour matched for a Studio Sculpt foundation at MAC. Turns out I’m NW20, but more on that another day… The purpose of this post is not to wax lyrical about foundation dear readers, but to introduce you to a new found love. We’re an unlikely pair, me and this lipstick but from the moment the make up artist swatched this lippy on his wrist, I knew it was much more than a crush. I wanted to jump on the Viva Glam wagon (you know, do…
