Everyday: Lips

I know, I have been gone for way too long if you noticed :( 

My computer at home is still ruined, so I just check on my ipod, but I'm too lazy to update because of it's bad camera...

I am at my boyfriends now so I have a little bit of time to update!

I will be talking about my favourite lip products that I use on a regular almost daily bases!

Nivea: Milk and Honey, LipIce Water Colour: Kissy Pink, Maybelline Baby Lips: Mango Pie, Softlips: Vanilla and  Etude House Lip Tint: Follow Me.

I'll talk about the three balms first:

I have just recenlty purchased the Nivea lip balm and have fell in love with it, the colour, the packaging and the smell are all lovely. I apply this every hour when I have it because it is addicting! Not too sticky and not too shiny on the lips!

This is my newest Baby Lips! I own 5 of them. The packaging is really what draws me in.. the colors are all so cute and sweet, which compliment the smell very well. They can be a bit sticky, but I try not too apply too much!

The Softlips are the most amazing product ever. They are in no way sticky on the lips, they smell amazing: exactly like vanilla, and have SPF20. They also have that cooling menthol feeling when you put them on. I gave one of these to my brother because he was whining about dry lips and he used it all within a week because it was that good! Dry lips are all gone!

Lip Balms are what I hoard. I buy them because of the packaging or smell, and I never use any of them up before I buy more. These are just the ones I keep in my makeup bag I carry, I have plenty more at home!!

The two tinted ones. I did a review on the Etude house one here.

I bought the LipIce while I was in Singapore thinking it would be similar to the Etude House Lip Tint... Oh how I was wrong. It isn't like a lip tint at all, but more like a VERY moisturising lip stick. The colour isn't 'kissy pink' but more or a pinky coral. 

As you can see the colour is a lot more pigmented compared to the Etude house tint.

What is great about these is that it has the qualities of a great lip balm or moisturiser, but with the added colour. It is very pigmented and stays on for a few hours, which means no drying like some lip sticks!

I'm hoping to go to either Singapore, Malaysia or Hong Kong at the end of the year so I will definatly pick up some more colours from this range. They are very cheap! I think I got mine for S$4, which is only like $3 here or something :D

Do you guys have a lip product you take everywhere with you? Or even too many than needed?

Butter Lips

Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter is finally out in Australia!... with the excessive price tag of $21.95!

Luckily enough Priceline is having a 2 for 1 sale on all Revlon lip and nail products, so I jumped at the opportunity to grab myself the lip butter I wanted, as well as a nail polish I had been eyeing for ages~

cringing at my nails... STOP BITING EMILY!

I think a lot of people are instantly drawn to the cute packaging and the adorable names that each colour shares. 

I ended up choosing Strawberry Shortcake (YUM) as I absolutely loved the colour... it took me ages to choose, and I kept changing my mind!

I've read many reviews and people have been saying that some are very much like lipsticks, but with more moisturising properties to them. Different colours vary in terms of pigmentation and creaminess. 

I found that this colour is more on the creamy and does not add as much colour as I was hoping for, but more shine and glitter. In fact, I found it very similar to the L'Oreal Colour Riche Nutrishine.

Revlon on the left; L'Oreal on the right!

The Lip Butter is obviously has a pinker colour to it, but looks a lot more similar when applied to lips. However, Revlon does stay true to its claims that it will will hydrate lips, which I feel this colour does effortlessly. My lips feel a lot smoother and softer when wearing it! It stays on for ages as well! 

I ever so slightly regret not getting a brighter colour from the range because I realise I do need to start being more adventurous with colours! Altogether though, I really enjoy this product! The colour is very wearable and it feels amazing on my lips. I really can't wait to try more... I just need some money now :(

Do you think Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter lives up to the hype?? Let me know what you think! 

Free Beauty Bag!

I recently got an email from Priceline about a special offer avaliable in store! It is an amazing deal where if you spend $60 or more on selected brands you receive a beauty bag filled with different products worth $220!

Not one to pass up such a good offer, I headed into the city and spent just over $60 on some products I really wanted (I will do a post on them soon) and then grabbed myself a bag!

Extra large image for you all~

I got a bit excited when I received it, so I opened them straight away! The bag includes:

*Eco Tools Bath Sponge

 I rarely use Sponges, but Eco Tools is supposed to be amazing so I'm looking forward to using it!

*Priceline Exfoliating 3 in 1 facial wipes.

Never tried the Priceline Wipes, but so far so good!

*Models Prefer Multi Purpose Sponge

I usually use disposable sponges, so this isn't something I'd usually buy. 

*Nude by Nature Soft Focus Illuminator

Love it Love it!! I have been meaning to get a good illuminator and this one is amazing!

*MaxFactor Xperience Volumising Mascara in Black/brown

Not something I would think of buying. Hoping it lives up to it's name!

*Australis Paparazzi Perfect High Definition Blush in Poser

I wouldn't have gone for this, as I find it hard to work with darker coloured blushes.

*Rimmel I Love Lasting Finish in Disco Ball

My last one of this exploded when I took it to Japan so I'm really happy to get another! I love any glitter nail polish!

*Innoxa Lovely Lips Lipstick in English Rose

I absolutely adore the colour, I have to review this one for sure! Probably my favourite piece in the bag!

*Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Really Red

Not a fan of really red lipsticks.. I find them hard to wear. But it's free so I'll give it a go!

*Savvy by DB Luxury Liner in Glitzy Gold

Very pretty! Got to find a way to make the gold work though...

*Press & Go Press on Manicure

I have absolutely no nails... so this would be great if I liked the design... but I don't :(

*1000Hours Nail Foils in Pink Swirl

No nails to put them on... I should really stop biting. Also, design isn't my cup of tea.

*Manicure Soft Touch Grip Tweezers

Not pictured! I was too busy using them. One of the best pair of tweezers I have ever owned.

*Natio Mineral Pressed Powder in Soft Tan

I'm hoping this isn't too dark on my super white skin...

*Models Prefer Kohl Pencil in Matte Black

This glides on so easily! Much better than other kohl liners I have~

Overall I was extremely impressed with this bag! Not the bag itself though.. WAY too out there for my taste with the snake print. The products seemed to be all of good quality.. some are quite expensive while others I wouldn't have thought to try.. but that's the point right? Maybe I'll fall in love with something I never thought I would try!

Has anyone else gotten this bag? I heard the products vary slightly in each also! Let me know what you think !

L'Oreal Paris Color Riche Nutrishine

About a month ago a friend and I went to the L'Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival Powder Room. It was a free event in Docklands where you pretty much walk in and the staff pampers you by either doing your lips, skincare, nails or hair! After getting my lips done, I walk out and get a free bag of L'Oreal Paris products! Who doesn't love free stuff?? They pretty much paid me with gifts to put makeup on me!

The bag contained a few things such as samples, hair spray and nail polish. However, what really stood out to me was the Color Riche Nutrishine lipstick in 01 Nudy Pink. My friend got a different colour than me and I'm sure there were different colours in other bags, but I was so glad with this one.

The packaging is adorable! You can use it like a mirror to apply the lipstick~

The colour looks a little bit more brighter than above^

What I love about this lipstick is that it doesn't come out looking like one! I find that lip glosses can sometimes be too sticky so I rarely use them, but this lipstick gives the appearance of shiney lip gloss with a hint of colour! 

On the lips it looks amazingly cute and sweet :)

When applied it feels like a balm as there is Shea butter in it that keeps the lips nice and smooth, however after a while it starts to feel a bit chalky like other lip sticks, but I find it doesn't dry out your lips and is excellent quality.

This lip stick has a R.R.P of around $22, and I suggest next time you have the opportunity to try their products give this one a try!
