Provocalips

Well hey there internet!

Now I don't know about you, but for me the time for wearing dark lipsticks and deep colours are coming to an end so here's one of the few deep lip colours I quite liked this winter.

So let’s just take a break from the world of whether or not the dress is black and blue or gold and white, instead I’m going to talk about the colour red!

Ok that was a poor transition but I really just wanted to include the whole dress phenomenon.

ANYWHO, I decided this winter was going to be a time for me to come out of my comfort zone a little bit as I had been doing that a lot at that time.

So I bought the Rimmel London Provocalips Lip Colour in the shade 550 called ‘play with fire’

I was quite apprehensive about the colour because I had never gone so dark or bold. It was one of those colours I would see in store and think ‘Oooh pretty! But it wouldn’t suit me’

But I was pleasantly surprised with the way I looked with it on.

 The product itself was a good quality product for a drugstore item, CRAZY PIGMENTATION! But that; seems to be common in a lot of the new lip products coming out.

And although I don’t wear it for long enough to see if it would last all day, I would say that the staying power is pretty good!

However, the problem with these long lasting lip stuff is that it dries out your lips, it may not smear, but it does dry out your lips. 

So you’d think that outing a little balm on them would help, but then once you put any moisturising product on your lips it will start to rub off on places and smear.

So it’s a choice between dry lips that don’t smear or moisturised lips that do.

Now, this product is double ended with a balm on the other side. But I don’t use that much because I’m not huge on glossy lips and it does get awfully messy.

I think what I'm trying to say that in conclusion, this is an overall great product and even though it’s only been worn a couple of times (usually in the evening) it’s gotten me quite a few compliments and I enjoyed experimenting with it but  the whole concept of these highly pigmented formulas needs to be improved.

Which I would gladly do as a dream job in the future. (It legit is my dream job to make new makeup formulas)

Question of the day:

What is your opinion on these sorts of products? Love them or hate them?

Sunday series part 2: PJs that are too cosy!

Well hey there internet,

Hope your all enjoying your Sunday :) Mine has been relaxing yet productive which is an odd but satisfying combination.

I've just had my Sunday bath, got change into my PJs and currently listening to a 'chilling out' playlist on spotify.

I wake up in the mornings to find frost all over the ground when I look outside my window, which means one thing, its winter!

Cue the arty farty pictures on tumblr, instagram, pinterest etc of people wrapped up in sweaters drinking hot chocolate in bed.

And yes I will be one of those people taking such pictures.

Now in my opinion I think that although fresh new Pyjamas are comfy, there's nothing like an old set of Jim Jams that have been worn over and over again but are still super comfy.

But I have plenty of those s I bought a new set.

And there's no better place for cheap comfy Pyjamas than Primark
So I bought these these bad boys for £10...

and MY GOODNESS ARE THEY COMFY!

In fact,because I live in the house where the heating is constantly on I actually can only wear them for about a few hours before I get too hot.

But if you live in a chilly place then these are perfect to keep you warm.

When I was browsing through Primark the first thing that drew me to these were obviously the fact that they had Minnie mouse on them before I realised they were the softest things known to man!

I think I'm starting to become obsessed with Minnie, I have Minnie ears and I'm a huge lover of polka dots.

Question of the Day: how do you stay warm?
