Lime Crime Velvetine in Riot

Hello, 

Today I wanted to talk to you about this gorgeous Lime Crime Velvetine. Riot is describes as 'marsala', a warm rosy brown.

The lime crime velvetines come in 21 different shades. and is a liquid to matte lipstick. 

"The texture of a rose petal... in a bottle! Velvetines go on liquid, but dry matte. Touch-proof, transfer-proof & utterly addictive"

The packaging is a thin frosted tube so you can see the product, and a red lid decorated with pink roses. The applicator is quite small, so it is a really good size to apply the product easily.

I have used this for over 4 months now and I really love the look this gives me. The formula is really smooth and you can build it up once it dries. I don't think it dries completely matte and it does transfer. 

Although it does wear off after eating/drinking it is only in the centre of the lips so you don't need to do any difficult reapplying throughout the day. It is also drying but that't to be expected, to keep that at bay Id recommend using an defoliator and a good lip balm.

The velvetines are £13.95 and then you have to pay packaging and postage (I bought mine from Love Makeup). This was more of a luxury item for me and I do really think it was worth the money.

The swatch on the right is the velvetine.

This has really quickly turned into one of my favourite lip products, it's very complementary to the colours I usually wear. It glides on smoothly and is easy to reapply. They have a big range of colours and I think I might pick up more of a summer shade nearer the warmer seasons.

I hope you have enjoyed this post and I'll see you next time,

Topshop Lip Paint Review

Hi, 

Today I'm going to do a review on the Topshop lip paints in the colours Tallulah and Reminisce.  These were something I saw in the sale a few months ago so though I would give them a go, the colours looked nice and they were only a couple of pounds.

I fell in love with the colour Tallulah (the red) straight away as it looked like my kind of red, yknow? Unfortunately the formula wasn't what I was looking for, the colour came out patchy and parts would dry and others wouldn't. The dofer applicator also makes such a bold colour hard to apply as any mistakes will show up. The peachy pink colour, Reminisce, wasn't much different. Although mistakes weren't as visible.

The staying power was short lived and the colour transferred onto everything. Where parts didn't dry hair or fluff would stick.

I really wanted to love these as they were so cute and the packaging was on-the-go worthy, plus I got them for super cheap. Sadly these just didn't work for me but maybe they will work for you.

Thanks for reading,

OOTD feat. Colour

Today I am going to do something a bit different. Here is something bright and colourful, not the usual, normally I'm in black or white, so time to step out of your comfort zone. Here Emilie is wearing a pink floor length dress from Topshop, it was down to £10 in my local store but unfortunately I cannot find it online any more. It was a bit chilly out so we covered this dress with a jumper from H&M (which was £14.99). This has been paired with a black pair of JuJu Black Heeled Sanadals which are £25. The flower crown is from Roses & Clementines and the butterfly necklace was from Accessorize a long time ago.  All together I like this outfit and how everything has come together. If you are interested in my photographs you can take a look over on my Flickr page. 

Thank you
