My New Favorite Lipstick

Hi lovelies! I hope you have all had a fantastic week. Today's blog post is all about my new but strong addiction in life: this lipstick. 

Believe it or not, this is my first ever "nude lipstick" (usually go for more balmy lip products like lip butters, baby lips, and chubby sticks), so I wanted to do my research and find a good one. I had heard so much about the Rimmel Moisture Renew lipsticks, so I thought I should give one a try. Tanya Burr uses this particular color and loves it, and she has the same coloring as me (Mac NW20 - for reference), so I thought "why not give it a try".  

Of I  went to the computer, and I bought this baby on BeautyJoint. And I do have to admit, I have never fallen so in love with a lipstick as what I have with this.

Today I am going to share my opinion about this life-saving lipstick, plus provide swatches and photos, as for some reason I always struggle to find good makeup swatches true to color. 

The formula is super creamy and very moisturizing, and lasts a reasonable amount of time on the lips. It gives a nice glossy sheen to the lips, plus this color does not highlight any dry skin. The color is more of a peachy nude than a pink nude, and is just slightly lighter than my natural lip color- only slightly. However it still looks completely natural - just like your lips but better a color, as some would describe it.

The packaging is extremely sturdy, and is a glossy vibrant purple. I also love how the lipstick winds all the way down - there is nothing more annoying than having to be super cautious lifting a lipstick lip and then crushing the top of it. Nothing. More. Annoying. I'm pretty sure they have repackaged some of their lipsticks, however I'm sure the packaging will not be any worse.

So as you can see, I absolutely love this lipstick. The formula is fantastic, the color is beautiful, the packaging is sturdy... I could honestly go on about this lipstick however I will not bore you :). 

I hope you enjoyed todays blog post, let me know what you would like me to blog about next in the comments, I love all of your recommendations! Also, please let me know what your favorite drugstore lip product is, I would love to know! 

Love you all!

Beauty Unboxing Haul (NYX, WetnWild, Elf, Bourjois)

Beauty Unboxing Haul - NYX, Wetnwild, Elf, Bourjois

Hi all! I hope you are having a fantastic day. Recently I have given in to online shopping and bought some things... oh well. I purchased off asos and the shipping arrived very quickly, which was fantastic. I also bought of a website called Beauty Joint. 

I had never tried any of these brands below before, so I was super exited to try all of these products out!

From asos I purchased the Bourjois Delice de Poudre Bronzing Powder. I was so exited to buy this, as I have struggled to find a non orange bronzing powder for a very long time. The packaging is like a cardboard book, and inside the product is shaped like 4 squares of chocolate. The consistency is very smooth and the product is reasonably matte. 

From Beauty Joint, I purchased 3 of the NYX butter glosses, as I heard they were creamy, pigmented and non sticky. I was intrigued to see if it would live up to my expectation, and I can now say that they are one of my favorite lip gloss formulas I've ever tried. 

The colors are absolutely beautiful, and the texture is extremely creamy and smooth. The color pay off is fantastic as well, and they are easy to layer or sheer out. 

Eclair (a beautiful pastel pink, with purple undertones), tiramisu (a beige nude - my favorite color out of the three), peaches and cream (a bright, coral pink color).

Swatches left to right: eclair, tiramisu, peaches and cream

I also bought 2 Wetnwild lip sticks, mainly because they were extremely affordable and there where some dupes to some mac lipsticks. Unfortunately I was not as impressed with these as I was with the butter glosses, mainly because the packaging was very cheap and the lipstick could break in half. In saying that however, the product is quite matte, and the opacity is fantastic although they are slightly drying.

Pinkerbell, 24 carrot gold (a dupe for Macs morange)

I love wearing pinkerbell under the NYX peaches and cream gloss, and the 24 carrot gold is really beautiful when you blend it out with an orange balm (I used Clinique chubby stick in oversized orange).

The last thing I bought was the elf Eyebrow Kit in medium. I had heard many positive things about this product, and I absolutely love it. One side is a darker, brown gel, the other more of a lighter beige brown powder.

There you go! I hope you enjoyed this blog post, If you want to see more hauls let me know. Make sure to comment down below what you think I should try out next, and leave any blog post requests down below. Also if you have a blog of your own, let me know and I will check you out! Love you all!
