Collection Deluxe lipstick





As I mentioned in my spring lipsticks post, I am not one to wear lip products everyday. It's coming into spring/summer time though, so I thought I would try some new lipsticks!
 
I saw the Collection Deluxe lipsticks on a blog, so decided to try one myself. I picked up the colour Speakeasy, which is a true, bright pink. I'm not one for bright lipsticks at all, especially pinks so I'm not sure why I chose this one!
 
On my hand, it does look slightly red, however on my lips it really is a pure, bright pink. I have tried dabbing it to sheer it out a little, however the lipstick still remains a true pink and slightly too bright for me. I think I will try and wear this a bit more in the brighter months, however it's definitely not my kind of colour!
 
The texture of this lipstick is so smooth and creamy, so I may try another colour from the range.
 
These retail at £3.99 each which is pretty good!
 
What's your favourite drugstore lipstick?

My everyday makeup : 2


For Christmas I was lucky enough to receive some lovely new makeup products. I have also bought a couple of new products recently and love them, so have started using them everyday!
 
Recently I bought the Rimmel Match Perfection foundation. I bought this a couple of years ago, however I had it in the shade darker which didn't match me, so I never wore it. The colour I bought the other week is 010, Light Porcelain which matches me perfectly.
 
Under my eyes I use my new Seventeen Phwoarr Paint concealer. I am scheduling a comparison post of this and the Bobbi Brown Corrector soon, so you can read my thoughts!
 
The Collection Lasting Perfection concealer is a product I have used and loved for ages. It does the job of covering blemishes perfectly, whilst also being an amazing price!
 
I received the Max Factor Crème Puff powder for Christmas and have been wearing it almost everyday since. It has a scent to it, so if you don't like scented products this may not be for you, however I think it's lovely.
 
My parents bought me the Clarins Graphic Expression Face and Blush powder for Christmas. This product is gorgeous and gives my skin a lovely colour. The colour it gives is suitable for using all over the face as it's very natural. I focus this more on my cheeks and then dust any extra across my forehead, nose and chin.
 
I use Mac Charcoal Brown eye shadow through my eyebrows and then set that with Maybelline BrowDrama. These products together leave my eye brows looking natural and defined.
 
The L'Oreal Miss Manga mascara is a new release I believe. I saw it in Boots the other week and being the mascara lover I am, had to buy it! I really love how this leaves my lashes looking.
 
I really like the Revlon lip butters as they leave my lips moisturised and soft with a nice hint of colour. The colour I use is Strawberry Shortcake which is very pretty, plus the colour is buildable.
 
I used a few of these products in my New Years Eve makeup video, so you can watch that if you'd like to see how I apply them.
 
I may post an everyday makeup video soon, so then you can see how all of these products apply. Let me know if you would be interested in watching that!
