So Primark are becoming well known for making statements and making you stay on trend. So not are they only known for their clothing they are also making a big hit with the cosmetic department too!
Recently they have bought out these "GET LIPPY" lipstick kits which do have some resemblance to the Kylie Lip Kits but are much less in price considering they retail for only £3!!
There are 4 shades that are available to buy these consist of 2 Metallic shades and 2 Matte shades.(was not able to get hold of molten bronze)
Shades Available -
- Molten Lava (Metallic) - This is a nude pink with a gold metallic pigment.
- Molten Bronze (Metallic) - This is a bronze tone with a gold metallic pigment.
- Cookie Dough (Matte) - This is a nude flesh toned pink with a matte finish.
- Chocolate Brownie (Matte) This is a dark brown shade with a matte finish.

Formula
The formula for these all feel quite oily till they dry, but even when they dry they don't feel fully matte they feel more semi matte than anything else. They didn't dry the lips out, but they did not feel particularly nice on either. The metallic one seemed more nicer on the lips than the matte ones but still was not a nice formula. The drying time for these vary as depending on the colour and how much was applied due to the unevenness of the coverage, metallic one dried faster than the matte and had a better coverage.

Application
The pencil's for the lip kits felt quite hard and was not easy to apply as they didn't glide on, you had to use a bit of pressure to apply them, which made they seem like they came out patchy.
The liquid lipsticks applicator is a doe foot applicator but a very hard one which made it hard to apply as i felt like i didn't have much control with it which made lines come out messy and uneven coverage.

Packaging
The packaging -
- was eye catching with different finishes and textures used to catch the buyers attention. a simple rectangle with a flimsy window to see the actually product. (can see in the main photo)
- Slick and simple, has a black coating with a different coloured end depending on the shade of lipstick, and a plastic transparent cap. looks more on the higher end than the liquid lipstick.
The Liquid Lipstick -
- Very basic and boring, with words "Metallic Liquid Lipstick" or "Matte Liquid Lipstick" which helps identify what the finish of it is. The tube is coloured similar to the shade that inside, with a plain black cap which when you unscrew has a long doe foot applicator attached to it.
Overall
Considering the lips kits only cost £3 each your only going to get what you pay for. I personally wouldn't say they are the worst product out there but they surely are not the best. But they colours are nice. With a little more time spent on the formula they would have been better.
Where to buy?
These can be bought at any Primark store in the UK for only £3. Not sure if they are sold outside of the EU.

So earlier this year NYX released a line called Lip Lingerie, with 12 nude/neutral shades available. They are complimentary to everyone, and when i say everyone i really do mean it! So there is a shade for everyone, but then you would be stuck on what one to get, but in all honesty you are more likely to want all of them...because well who wouldn't.
Me being who i am, i am a lover of nude lipsticks and one that can last a whole meal will always be a holy grail to me...and these liquid lipsticks do that!. So i purchased 3 that simply called to me and i for one do not regret it. and as i say "when in doubt...nude it out".
The shades i had picked were
- Teddy - Warm rich brown - This is the darkest colour out of the whole collection even though it looks light it does not dry light. It is similar to beauty mark but you can tell the difference between them as this has more of a plum undertone to it.
- Lace detail - Nude beige pink - This is one of the lightest colors of the collection with a beautiful pink tone it would be perfect with a smokey eye only thing i would say about it is to make sure your lips are moisturized as the lighter the colour the more cracks you would be able to see.
- Beauty mark - Chocolate brown - This is a dark colour but lighter in than Teddy. I would say it reminds me of chocolate fudge. It has a red undertone to it which gives of the perfect 90's lipstick vibe!

Unlike any other liquid lipstick i have tried this is more of a mouse like texture which helps it glide on to your lips with ease with a small downside that the area you have applied it to with budge a bit until it drys fully, after a couple of seconds for drying time you will noticed that the colour will change ever so slightly and will then go matte. I would personally say the formula is smudge proof even after eating dinner and drinking there was no transfer nor any fading.
Some liquid lipsticks are very drying on the lips and can leave you with an uncomfortable feeling that your lips are about to crack, i did not find that with this at all in fact it was more moisturizing than drying and i could actually smile without my lips feeling like they were going to fall off!
Packaging and Application/Applicator
The container itself is nice, simple and sleek with a circular design which is handy for you to keep in your bag without taking up a lot of space, it is clearly labeled on the front in nice writing and a list of ingredients of what it contains on the other side.
The applicator itself is another thing, it is long and thin that can help apply the lipstick at ease when it comes to outlining and applying to the cupids bow, it is angled slightly to help get into the corner of the lips. i would say the only downside is that it makes it a little harder to fill in the rest of the lips without moving or wiping away the product that you have already applied, so the best way to do it would be to wait for it to dry then go over it if you feel like it needs touching up, then you are ready to go!
Overall
This is a wonderful product and i would happily buy the rest of the collection as it is affordable and will not break the bank if you are the type of person who likes to budget! At only £6.50 per lipstick that is a bargain for something that i would happily pay more for!. Taking into consideration of the overall product it is without a doubt going to be the product im going to be reaching for, for a while.
Where to buy?
Depending on where you are in the world some brands can be hard to get a hold of, I purchased mine from Boots as it has been the only place i can get it. But you can buy them from the company themselves NYX if you live outside of the UK.

Hey buttercups, So today ill be doing a review for an amazing product that came out in august, If you can not tell from the title it is the Estee Lauder Little Black Liner. This lovely eyeliner has so many benefits that it is a godsend from the liner gods!
From it having two ends, it gives you 3 options on how you can use it.

Liner Options
Ultra Fine - The slim tip for a line that glides on
Thin - Flat side of the wedge for a classic line
Thick - Turn the wedge to the side for a thick dramatic look!

Thick - Turn the wedge to the side for a thick dramatic look!
This eyeliner is very pigmented and super easy to work with as it just glides on and does not cause any tension when working with it. But not only does this eyeliner give you 3 different ways to use it, it is also waterproof, smudge-proof and it absolutely is flake-proof unlike some other waterproof liners i have used!
The Estee Lauder Little Black Liner is £22 and in my opinion it is totally worth it, with all of the amazing benefits it gives to offer it will always have a place in my makeup collection!
You can go to a Estee Lauder make-up counter near you to play around with it and see if you feel the same about it as i do!

Hello lovelies, So its that time of year when we all grab are scarfs, gloves and favorite autumnal lipsticks, so as i am also someone who does this i have decided to show my top 6 favorite lipsticks for this season!
Urban Decay- MATTE REVOLUTION LIPSTICK - 1993 - £15.50
This is a medium brown lipstick, cleverly named as it would have been the perfect 90's lipstick. Although it is a matte lipstick it does not dry your lips out and has a very creamy texture to it so your lips stay moisturized even on the coldest of days! You can purchase it here
MAC - Matte- Russian Red - £15.50
This is a blue toned red, Very pigmented and very red! As it is a matte, it has a creamy texture, but the lipstick does dry your lips a little bit, if that is a problem just dab some lip balm on your lips and your all set. You can purchase it from here
Jeffree Star - Matte - Unicorn Blood - £12.00
This is a dark rusty red/brown lipstick, suits every skin tone and is so flattering! This is by far the most comfortable liquid lipstick i have ever worn, it is a matte lipstick, but does not dry your lips out. very pigmented and may cause staining on the lips but its worth it! You can purchase it from here
Chanel - Rouge Allure - Foudroyante - £26.00
This is a deep brown/mauve, i can honestly say it is my favorite out off all my lipstick collection. Think kylie Jenner but a tad darker! its pigmented, and all it takes is one wipe over the lips and the colour is there, so no need to pack it on! The staying power isn't that great, but i dont mind reapplying it! You can purchase it from here
Chanel - Rouge Allure - Rouge Noir - £26.00
This is a dark red/brown lipstick, it's less opaque than Foudroyante but none the less it is still beautiful. With this lipstick it works best with a dark lip liner underneath to keep the colour solid. Perfect colour for those who live in black clothing! You can purchase it from here
Chanel - Rouge Coco - Dimitri - £26.00
This is a warm red, with subtle pink tones, with a swipe of this colour on your lips its very light, but it is build able, but i recommend wearing a lip liner under all of the chanel lipsticks for it to last longer and for the colour to get a stronger pigment punch! You can purchase it from here

Hello my lovelies,
so i was wondering around my local superdrugs and i spotted these wonderful palettes from Tanya Burr who is a youtuber and blogger. These beauties came out in august and can be found in superdrugs (shop and online) and also on feel unique
The collection consists of 3 eyeshadow palettes, 2 face palettes and an eyebrow palette, but while i was out i could only get my hands on 2 eyeshadow palettes and 1 face palette, as the rest was sold out unfortunately.
The eyeshadow palettes i have are Galaxy and Fairytale and cost £6.
Galaxy Palette
Snowflake: White satin shade
Moonlight: Silver satin shade with tiny specks of silver glitter
Stormy Sky: Taupe cool matte shade
Starry Night: Black matte shade with specks of silver glitter
Fairytale Palette
Cream Tea: Cream matte light shade.
Velvet Cushion: Brown light warm matte shade
Alohomora: Taupe deep satin shade
Witches Cat: Jet black matte shade
Now to the cheek palette which i absolutely ADORE is Rosy Flush and they cost £8
Rosy Flush
Beach Bronze: Medium neutral warm bronzer perfect to warm up the face, and dont come out orange or to brown.
Pretty Peony: Warm medium pink with a gold sheen to it.
Oyster Shell: Pale white highlighter with a gold sheen when blended to the high points of the face.
Packaging and Product
Although it may come across as looking a tad tacky, the packaging is a sturdy foiled cardboard that may be easily dent. All of the palettes are designed with their own pattern that include stars, hearts and diagonal lines.
Each palette also has an embossed pattern on the product which looks really pretty (so pretty that you just feel bad for using it as it ruins the pattern).
I would say that they are well pigmented and blend beautifully on the skin. Overall they are reasonably priced for the quality you get and im impressed with them and i hope you will be to!
Thank you for reading!
