Kylie Lip Kits - Review and Swatches

Hi Guys!
An exciting post today, considering this were in my beauty wish list just last week i'm very proud to say that I got my hands on two Kylie Lip Kits! I got mine in the shades Dolce K and True Brown K however all were available at the time. I wish I would have got a pink shade too, probably Koko K or Candy K as I have SO many brown toned liquid lipsticks and hardly any pinks but still I have no regrets.

Dolce K

Dolce K I personally thought would be my favourite shade out of the 6 available as it seemed to be the perfect nude shade. I love the colour but am unsure how I feel about it on the lips. I've only worn this shade once but to me the actual lipstick was drying and flaky. The lipliner does help and they are honestly the creamiest lip liners I think i've ever tried. I need to wear this a few more times before I find out how to wear it best for my lips, this might mean trying it with a lip mask underneath but i'll let you know!

True Brown K
True Brown K felt like a complete different formula to Dolce K in terms of the liquid lipstick. Its so soft and creamy yet dries to the perfect matte. Definitely a winter shade but I think i've found my new favourite liquid lipstick. This shade will look perfect with a brown smokey eye and the undertones of the shade make your teeth look pearly white!

I know Kylie's restocking the shades every week for a little while now so I'm planning on waiting a few weeks then picking up two more if my student life lets me afford it :( I'd love to get Koko K or Candy K as the three newest shades (Koko K, Posie K and Mary Jo K) have new formulas compared to the original three (True Brown K, Dolce K and Candy K) so this is definitely something I want to try.

I love Kylie and am so excited for Kylie Cosmetics to expand and release tonnes of new products! Have you guys managed to get any lip kits? If not what shade would you love to try?

Thanks for reading!

February Beauty Wish List

Hi Guys,

After putting myself on a makeup spending ban for the month of Feb (unless I can get a kylie lip kit...), this post is very difficult to write. Beauty brands seem to be releasing products left, right and centre and it makes it almost impossible to keep up with the latest products. I've put together a little collage of some of the things i'm lusting over and who knows maybe i'll get in the4 near future!

1. Urban Decay Naked Skin Weightless Complete Coverage Concealer

This seems to be a beauty guru cult favourite. I've never really been into concealer and just stick to what I know, if it works, it works. But when I see people using this concealer it looks so natural and healthy and really seems to conceal dark circles which is a big need for me. I love Urban Decay as a brand and really want to try out their face products. 

2. Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipstick - Dusty Rose

This is the one product on this list that I think I'm desperate for. It's been so hard to get ABH in the UK and only now are you able to get her brow and contour products from select websites, however her liquid lipsticks still seem impossible to get your hands on. This colour is to die for and is my favourite lip shade, the perfect muted rose pink with a hint of mauve, so in love with this shade.

3. Morphe 350 Palette

I saw a picture on Instagram yesterday joking that the 350 is harder to get the Yeezy's and i've never heard anything more real in my life :( Jaclyn Hill seemed to give this palette it's fame and since then each time it comes back in stock its gone straight away. The warm, neutral colours are perfect for any time of year and it has every colour you need for so many looks. 

4. MAC Burgundy x9 Palette

Another palette I'm lusting over recently. The MAC Burgundy x9 palette was released with 2 other palettes in the collection for a reduced price than the normal palette as it is a lot smaller than the rest of the MAC shadows. The 9 shades are all permanent shades however I love that this palette is smaller as it's perfect for travelling.

5. Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation

Another cult favourite, everyone and their mother seems to have this even though it's SO expensive. I love how it makes the skin so dewy and flawless and lasts all day and think this may be worth the money but i'll have to try it to find out! 

6. Houses of Lashes - Iconic 

I'm starting to get into lashes a bit more but still have only ever tried drugstore or cheaper branded lashes. For me House of Lashes are quite expensive but are still affordable compared to say some mink lashes which are on the market. I've seen so many YouTubers wearing these and they look stunning so i'd love to try them out.

7. Kylie Lip Kit

As I said earlier, these will be the only makeup I spend money on IF I can get my hands on one! I was so close at the first release but missed it by a second and they are rumoured to be releasing again this week with the original shades and also 3 valentines shades. I am desperate for Dolce K and True Brown K and I am so in love with the packaging. I hate to say that I'm obsessed with Kylie Jenner and just getting an insight to her lifestyle and I honestly think that creating these lip kits is the best things she's done!

Hopefully i'll get a couple of these things over the next year and will let you know what I think! What are you lusting after at the moment? Let me know! 

Thanks for reading,

March Favourites

Hello!
March for me was a month of holding onto winter colours and experimenting with browns and mauves and golds! My goal for april is to use more colours so hopefully I will have some spring makeup looks up soon! I seemed to buy quite a few lip products this month whereas for all of my other products I shopping my collection and reliving old products of mine! So here's my favourites...

1. Creighton's Perfectly Clear Calming Spot Gel

I'm starting with a random skincare product as this has honestly saved my life this month. I can't remember where/when I bought this product but I remember it being £1-£2. I've been trying out lots of different skincare this month and so my skin has been all over the place and has been trying to break up quite a lot. As soon as I feel any sort of break out of blemish on it's way I leave a dab of this on overnight and by the morning 9/10 times it's gone! I'm running low so will have to hunt this down soon. 

2. MAC Strobe Cream

As the weather's been getting a little better recently i've been really into a more dewy finish to my skin and MAC Strobe Cream is perfect for this. I mix a little bit in with my foundation and it gives me a perfect glowing finish. This is also great for mixing into foundations that are too dark for your face as it will make it lighter and blend out evenly. I know i'll be using this a lot as it gets more into summer!

3. MAC Mehr

I got this recently as a free Back 2 Mac item and wrote a review on it which you can read here. I love this shade for all sorts of looks and it pairs perfectly with my favourite MAC Lipliner Whirl. I'd never seen it before in MAC but was is the perfect mauve- brown matte shade.

4. No.7 Precision Lip Pencil - Nude

Alongside MAC Whirl, this is my all time favourite lip liner. It is the perfect nude for my lip and pairs with light, dark, pink or brown nudes. It lasts hours on my lips even through eating and applies so smoothly. I also have a red from this line which I love too but will definitely be buying some more soon!

5. YSL Rouge Volupte - 32

The packaging on this lipstick is everything and the colour is the perfect brighter pink. The product itself is quite sheer but perfect for spring and is very moisturising. My first YSL product but definitely not my last!

6. MAC Single Eyeshadow's - Woodwinked (Left) and Cork (Right)

I've had both of these shadows for quite a while, especially Woodwinked yet have only rediscovered this again recently. Cork is the shade that I've been using as my crease shade all month, every single day and its the perfect neutral brown shade. I haven't been buying any MAC shadows for a while just because I know there are so many same quality shadows for a fraction of the price however I already have these and I do love them.

7. Nars Duo - Laguna Bronzer and Orgasm Blush

I got this mini duo last year in new york and have only really been using it this year. As you can see i've recently hit pan on Laguna as it's the perfect summer bronze shade with a slight shimmer to it. I also really like Orgasm blush but am scared to use these two shades together as I feel my face becomes quite shimmery, however alone they are perfect!

8. Gerard Cosmetics Lipstick - 1995 

I recently did a post about this as I purchased four Gerard Cosmetics items and this has definitely proven to be my favourite so far. Designed by one of my favourite YouTuber's Jaclyn Hill, this lipstick is that Kylie Jenner look that everyone wanted however slightly more brown. Perfect for a more glam evening look.

So that's all of my March Favourites, quite a lot of lip products! April for me will be all about colours and all about the drugstore! What have you been loving this month? Let me know in the comments!
Hope you enjoyed,

MAC Mehr Lipstick Review

Hello!
I recently posted on my Instagram (@lasheslinerlove) that I had gained a new lipstick to my MAC collection in the shade Mehr! I had 6 empty MAC products which you can see in my recent Empties post and so I went down to my local MAC counter and did Back to MAC. Back to MAC is where you take 6 empty product packaging in replace for a new lipstick, basically helping you to help them! I love this scheme as I feel like it makes it worth paying that extra bit of money for MAC products! It did take me a while to get through the products but felt so worth it when I picked out my new lipstick! So Mehr....

I browsed the lipstick stand for a while knowing that I wanted a nude pinky matte shade, I was temped by Please Me but couldn't stop looking at Mehr. It's a shade i'd never heard of before and couldn't believe that as its beautiful! It's a sort of 'Kylie Jenner' lip but a bit more brown and matches perfectly with my MAC Whirl Lipliner.

I am yet to try a MAC lipstick that I don't like and always looking to build up my collection so I thought this was a great staple colour as it can be worn everyday but also paired with a more intense makeup look for a night out or special occasion.

So that's Mehr! What MAC lipstick should I look at buying next? Or are there any good dupes out there? I'm really looking to try new brands at the moment!
Hope you enjoyed this post and it was helpful.
Speak soon,
