FINALLY TRYING LIQUID LIPSTICKS BY ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS

Hello everyone! So if you are from the UK you will know that we have been able to get our hands on the majority of the products from Anastasia Beverly Hills, all except for the liquid lipsticks...until now that is. Earlier this year ABH finally launched a UK website, where you can buy every single product from the brand. This was super exciting to me and i was straight in there to try and finally get my hands on some liquid lipsticks, but there was a slight drama because all of the nude shades sold out in rapid speed and they seemed to be out of stock forever.

As i mentioned above the liquid lipsticks were obviously the most wanted items (just like i wanted them) which resorted in them selling out super quick and every time i checked the site over weeks to come, they were still out of stock. Anyway to cut a long story short, i happened to randomly click on the site for a link to post and what do you know, they were in stock...every single shade! First of all i did a little happy dance and second of all i placed two of the shades that i have been lusting after for so long, straight into my online cart.

So first up we have the shade called milkshake, which is described as a milk-y shade with a hint of peach and is honestly so beautiful. Obviously this particular shade is on the lighter end of the nude scale, so it is obviously not going to for everyone but i personally think this type of shade suits my colouring and everything like that. Moving onto the actual formula of the liquid lipstick, obviously they all have a rich matte finish that claims to be long-wearing yet comfortable to wear and honestly so far i am not disappointed in the slightest, so worth the wait. If you are from the UK, the shade milkshake retails for £20.

Obviously i always knew i wanted to get the shade milkshake, but the next shade was a toss up between this shade called naked and the shade pure hollywood. So what i had done previously is search a ton of different swatches online and i decided naked was 100% the shade for me, which i am so glad about now because it is honestly my perfect nude in a tube. I have the biggest feeling that this is going to be the satin ribbon lingerie liquid lipstick by NYX, go-to nude all over again and i won't be able to put it down. Just like the shade milkshake, naked is a peachy toned nude but a lot more nude with a slight beige base to it over the milky base that milkshake has. The formula is also a rich matte finish that is long wearing and if you are from the UK this shade also retails for £20.

REVLON COLORSTAY MOISTURE STAIN

Hey guys, I hope you all had a great weekend! I am super excited about today's post, (i did have something else for today's post but i will now be posting that on another day) because i finally got my hands on the Revlon Colorstay Moisture Stain's. I have been seeing American Bloggers/YouTuber's showing these new moisture stains and saying how amazing they are but i was unable to get my hands on them as they were only available in the states. About a month a go i read somewhere online that they were launching them in the UK around August time, so i have been counting down the days haha...

First of all lets talk about how nice this packaging is, it feels so sleek and very expensive in it's appearance considering it is a drugstore product. The applicator is a really nice doe-foot shape which makes it super easy to apply to your lips, a little like that L'Oreal glam lip glosses applicator. Second of all the colour pay off is second to none when you apply two coats and you are left with this gorgeous glossy opaque lip look. They are very similar to the YSL stains but obviously much more affordable. You can get your hands on these now available at Boots for £7.99 (Revlon also have a buy one get one half price at the moment in Boots). I can honestly see myself reaching for these on a daily basis already, i highly recommend trying them out.

As of yet i only picked up 4 of the shades available. 

From Top-Bottom:

050 London Posh

025 Cannes Crush

010 LA Exclusive 

005 Parisian Passion

As a little side note, how cute are these names? I am also always drawn to something that has a cute name to go with the product.

MAKEUP MONDAY: FAVOURITE AFFORDABLE LIP GLOSSES

Hey guys, i hope you all had an amazing weekend! I think so many "makeup addicts" me included when it comes to lip glosses we just can't get enough. To some people they will probably think but you have that same shade of lip gloss already... that doesn't matter, i am just obsessed! I also think that some of the best lip glosses available are so affordable in comparison to some higher end lip glosses that are in fact disappointing. So here is some of my favourite and affordable lip glosses...

  

The majority of my lip glosses in my collection are pink or pinky/nudes as that is what i like to wear the most and it is in fact the colour what i feel suits me the most...

From L-R:

Sleek Matte Me (ultra smooth matte lip cream) in the shade Petal - £4.99 Superdrug.

This isn't glossy obviously as it is matte but it's obviously liquid lip colour rather than a lipstick. This is the most beautiful shade of pink on me and the staying power is amazing, it lasted about 6 hours on me and that was with eating and drinking!

MUA Sheer Finish (lip gloss tube) in the shade Cute Talk - £1 Superdrug.

I seriously don't think you could get a better lip gloss for only £1, the consistency is really glossy and shiny but not too sticky. As this in a tube i usually do like the apply this with a lip brush as that is just what works best for me.

Revlon Super Lustrous (lip gloss) in the shade Snow Pink - £6.99 Boots.

This lip gloss is one of my favourites to wear over MAC's creme d'nude as it isn't too sheer but it just adds a really nice shimmer to the lipstick as it has tiny specks of glitter in the gloss.

Tanya Burr (lip gloss) in the shade Just Peachy - £6.99 Feel Unique.

Everybody is obsessed lately with Tanya Burr's lip glosses and right to be as well who doesn't love Tanya Burr? and her collection is amazing. You can wear it as it is or on top of a lipstick and they look great either way. I only have two at the moment but i am planning to get my hands on some more soon.

NYX Butter Gloss (lip gloss) in the shade Eclair - £5 NYX.

This lip gloss is the newest addition to my collection, i mentioned in a previous blog post that i have wanted to try these for so long and i really wish i had sooner now... i have been wearing it every day since i got it! They apply really nice, long lasting and keep their shine.

Wet n Wild Mega Last (liquid lip colour) in the shade Click on my HyperPink - £2.54 - BeautyJoint.

These particular liquid lip colours are really similar to the Sleek "Matte Me" ones, they go on really nice and your lips don't feel dry how some can make your lips feel like that, they still feel hydrated. The only thing is about these is they don't have as good of staying power as the sleek ones.

Here is swatches of each of the lip glosses mentioned above...

What lip glosses are your favourites?
