Touch In Sol Rouge Fondue Lipsticks

If you follow me on Instagram then you probably noticed that I have been quite excited by a brand called Touch In Sol. Created and founded in Seoul, South Korea and if you are a regular reader of my blog, then you will also know that I am obsessed with Korean Beauty. Said to embrace the spirit of Korean innovation, Touch In Sol is fun, innovative and uses some of the most advanced technologies and everything I have tried so far I have just absolutely loved. Using a whole host of natural, botanical ingredients, Touch In Sol aims to not only brighten up your day with fun products but with products that are functional and serve a purpose.

I love lipsticks and Touch In Sol have an incredible range called Rouge Fondue which I am sharing with you today. Described as being lusciously nourishing and gorgeously glossy, Rogue Fondue lipsticks are enriched with a formula which includes Mango Seed, Shea and Coconut Butter as well as hyaluronic acid and hydrolysed silk, bringing all of these together you have a formula which both hydrates and cares for the lips.  The formula also features a 5-free formula which means there are no parabens, phenoxyethanol, mineral oil, triethylolamine and no EDTA.

There are seven shades within the Rouge Fondue range and there is definitely something for everyone whether you like a nude lip, something a little pink or something really bold.
  • Fondue Hot Pink - As the name suggests, this is a bold hot pink shade 
  • Fondue Red - Every lip wardrobe needs a red and this is a beautiful red 
  • Fondue Peach - a light shade of peach 
  • Fondue Pink - a bubblegum rose 
  • Fondue Nude Beige - a peachy pale coral 
  • Fondue Coral Beige - a deeper, rosier coral
Melting as soon as it comes into contact with the lips and turning into an almost liquid-like formula, over time, as the lipstick stays on the lips, the colour reacts to the temperature of your lips and continues to develop and deepen and truthfully, it absolute fascinates me. I love how easily the lipstick glides across the lips whether you use a brush or the lipstick itself directly, it doesn't cling to dry skin and it lasts for hours and hours without the need to re-apply.

I have been loving Fondue Coral Beige, not a shade I ever felt I would be comfortable with, but I love how easy it works for me and from the seven lipsticks that I have from the range, I actually feel comfortable wearing them all.  The swatches shown above are with and without the flash on my camera and have been swatched with just one swipe of the lipstick bullet onto my wrist and arm.  You can see just how pigmented they are.  I have never used a lipstick like this before and I have a lot of lipsticks, they are simply exceptional and a must have.


I am really excited to see big things from Touch In Sol and you can find them at Cult Beauty, ASOS, Indulge Beauty and BeautyMart and Rouge Fondue Lipsticks are priced at £21 each.

Pixi by Petra Lip Balms and Lipsticks

There is one way to grab my attention, other than making your product bright pink in every way and that is lipstick and Lip Balms, two products I am obsessed with.  Imagine my glee when this beauty turned up from Pixi by Petra a few weeks ago!
Pixi by Petra Lip Balms and Lipsticks
Pixi is a brand I have got to know over the last 18 months and one I have enjoyed getting to know.  There isn't a single product which has disliked me or my skin and there are a few products which have become firm favourites within my stash.  This box contains a micture of Shea Butter Lip Balm's and Mattelustre Lipsticks and the one thing I can tell you is that I love them all,  just can't choose a favourite.

The Shea Butter Lip Balms have eight shades in total and I have got three of them which are - Ripe Raspberry, Sweet Peach and Pixi Pink. These lip balms use a unique formula is rich but lightweight and gives a gorgeous wash of colour to lips and they are packed with lip loving ingredients to hug and comfort them in times of need.  The use of both Shea Butter to nourish the skin and Vitamin E to protect make for what is three incredible balms
Pixi by Petra Lip Balms and Lipsticks

What I love about these balms is how they feel on the lips.  When it comes to Lip Balms, I am not a fan of sticky and tacky formulas or the kind which make your lips feel as though you have just rubbed them in some duck fat.  I like an almost nothing there feel and this is what I get from Pixi, once applied there is a lovely lightweight texture on the lips. Both Pixi Pink and Ripe Raspberry have a Pink hue and Sweet Peach is a lovely peach shade and whilst the transfer of colour is noticeable it does not give you that lipstick transference of colour.

The MatteLustre Lipsticks are described as being multi-tasking demi-matte lipstick which has a long lasting formula that conditions, plumps, and protects while depositing a vivid colour onto the lips.  I have three shades again from the collection - Rose Naturelle which is a beautiful nude shade and it has brown undertones, Plum Berry has a subtle pink undertone and whilst it isn't a deep berry shade, it is still a beautiful shade and finally Bitten Rose which is a warm rose pink and just stunning.
Pixi by Petra Lip Balms and Lipsticks

I adore these lipsticks and they are packed full of ingredients such as Peptides, hyaluronic acid, and vitamins C and E help to create that smoother and fuller looking lip. When applying they do so like a dream, no dragging or pulling across the lip and I adore the creamy texture.  All three lipsticks are demi-matte, so if you are not a matte lipstick fan but also don't like the overly glossy lip, these do sit somewhere in the middle.   Rose Naturelle has been in my collection for some time now as the lovely Amanda said it would look fab, she was of course right (she is also amazing) and it I love it.

So there you have my little box of lip loving Pixi treats and again, I have been wowed by just how good they are.

I would love to know if you have tried any of these products from Pixi or whether or not you have a favourite Pixi product.

Autumn Lipstick Wishlist

Autumn has arrived and with it comes a flurry of new releases and products to keep your skin looking fab, your nails in tip-top condition, the biker boots and chunky knits are back out and of course it is Berry Lip time!

Up until a year or so ago, there is not a chance I would have been caught wearing a berry lipstick, it wasn't until the assistant on the Dior Counter in John Lewis convinced me that the shade Fashion Night was for me that I was even tempted, but now there are so many that I want to try.
Autumn Lipstick Wishlist
Those lovely ladies over at Escentual are forever tempting me with their products, their recent blog post (here) featured the Makeup Forever Pro Sculpting Lip - 2-In-1 Lip Sculpting Pen and I absolutely love the look of Rosewood which the lovely Chelsea wears in one of the photos. Rosewood is described as being a medium plum pink and the reason I am drawn to it is the description - The MAKE UP FOR EVER Pro Sculpting Lip is the secret to fuller-looking lips in an instant. With an opaque semi-matte lip colour on one end and iridescent powder-to-cream highlighter on the other, it’s the only tool you’ll need to maximise your lip look. I am intrigued by the highlighter section. You can find the Pro Sculpting 2-in-1 pen for just  £18.50 HERE

Next comes Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Lips and the two shades which catch my eye are called Dangerous Liasion and Show Girl. Dangerous Liasion is described as being a muted, medium-dark reddish plum with warm undertones and a semi-matte finish, it looks, from the swatches I have seen to be just divine. Show Girl is more of a warm plum with a satin finish but equally beautiful. Said to glide on like a gloss but give full coverage, it is definitely an Autumn/Winter shade and both can be found for £24 HERE.

Shockingly, I am yet to try any of the Marc Jacobs make up range, but everything I have seen, I have really liked and that includes Le Marc Lip Crème in shade Blow, which in fairness was out of stock when I did want to buy it a few days ago in store. Blow is described as a “dark berry velvet" and it definitely does have a dark berry which is almost a burgundy red tone to it but it has cool undertones and a satin sheen finish.  It retails for £25 here.

As with Marc Jacobs, Hourglass is another brand I swoon over but am yet to purchase and these Lip Stylo's have featured on my blog before. This time however it is shade Warrior which has got my attention. Described as being a dark burgundy with cool undertones and a soft sheen it gived a medium but buildable coverage. The Lip Stylo is also said to feature the colour intensity of a lipstick fused with a luxurious blend of Shea Butter, Jojoba, Mimosa and Sunflower Seed for softer, fuller lips. Priced at £26 HERE.

On the hightstreet, Rimmel have usually always got a lipstick selection that I like and this time it is The Only One Lipstick in shade One of a Kind.  Described as being a Maroon shade with neutral undertones and it said to be the The perfect balance of high impact colour, moisture, all day comfort and staying power. It is priced at £6.99 and you can find it HERE.


Giorgio Armani Ecstasy Shine are lipsticks that I have seen featured all over my social media feed and I love that they are said to "colour like a lipstick and moisturise like a balm with the shine of a gloss" which has totally tempted me, especially as I have again, never tried the brand (bloggers forever influencing). Shade 602 which is also known as Night Viper sits within a trio of plum shades that are available within this range. Again from the swatches ive seen, it is one of the lighter plum shades that is perfect for everyday wear. These lipsticks are priced at £29 and can be found HERE.

The final lipstick comes from the Guerlain KissKiss Hydrating & Plumping Velvet Matte Lip Colour and it is shade Wild Plum that has caught my attention.  Described as being the first hydrating and plumping matte lipstick by Guerlain which delivers rich colour in a luxurious balm-like formula. The formula contains hyaluronic acid and Nigella sativa oil to nourish and plump, while a chilli derivative boosts the smile by performing a hot and cold skin micro-massage. £24.75 HERE


There you have my Autumn lipstick wishlist!  Have you seen any that have caught your eye from my list or elsewhere?

Revlon Lips and Cheeks

Revlon is a brand I am just getting myself reacquainted with and not too long ago on this blog this post introduced some newly released eye makeup products.  Today is the turn of the lips and cheeks with some products I have really enjoyed using and if anyone ever mentioned lipstick, I am usually there quick as a flash.
Revlon Lips and Cheeks
Now I love a good highlighter and have used quite a few different ones over this past year. Revlon's Insta-Fix Highlighting Stick is available in two shades and has the following description:
Highlight instantly with this mistake-proof stick. In two gorgeous shades, perfect for highlighting on virtually any skin tone. Formula with light filtering technology delivers a professionally re-touched look. Use with PhotoReady Insta-Fix™ Makeup to get a mistake-proof contoured look.

I have shade Gold Light which gives a really lovely glow to the skin and it is so easy to use and blend. Both shades retail for £9.99.

Revlon Lips and Cheeks
When it comes to lipsticks, I never thought I would be the person who likes a Matte lip, but actually I really do and am yet to find a formula I dislike. The Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lip Colour (£8.99) is available in 12 shades (24 for America) and is described as follows:
Lightweight, high definition velvety matte color. Moisturizing, velvety feel. 100% wax-free, gel formula. Now Available in 24 high definition shades.
I have the shade Seduction which comes with a doe foot applicator and it has a really lightweight formula which is really easy to apply and when you do apply it, it looks like a gloss and takes a good few minutes to mattify. What I really like is how moisturising it is rather than drying on the lips and it really gives great coverage.  The shade Seduction is one I absolutely love and it is definitely a nude shade which I really like and it is perfect for everyday wear.  Once applied you get a good 3-4 hours wear from it before needing to re-apply.
Revlon Lips and Cheeks
Revlon Lips and Cheeks
Staying with lipsticks again, this time we have two of Revlon's Ultra HD Gel Lipsticks which retail for £7.99 each. Taking on the role of a slimline lipstick, these Gel Lipsticks and they come with the following description:

Get high-definition, lightweight color with NEW Ultra HD Gel Lipcolor. Intensely hydrating formula with hyaluronic acid. Available in 15 high-definition shades.
So the first thing to note is that they have a really glossy formula and if you like a glossy lipstick, then this definitely will tick the boxes for you. I have two of the twelve available shades which are Desert and Vineyard. Vineyard is an amazing berry shade whereas Desert is a pink nude. The lipstick itself is slanted making it easy to apply once it has been twisted up out of its stick and whilst they last a good few hours and need re-applying a few times a day, I am more than happy to do just that because I really like the formula.
Revlon Lips and Cheeks
Revlon Lips and Cheeks
The final product in my stash is the Revlon Photoready Insta blush in shade Berry Kiss £9.99. Described as follows:

Our sheer, blendable blush is mistake-proof. The luxurious, cream-to-powder formula creates a naturally flushed, beautiful kiss of color. Use on the apples of cheeks for the perfect finishing touch to a contoured or highlighted look— Anytime, Anywhere.
The Revlon PhotoReady Insta Blush Sticks are available in two shades Berry Kiss and Rose Gold Kiss. I have the shade Berry Kiss which is a beautiful berry shade and I am not usallu a fan of blushes and cream blushers wouldn't usually be my first choice, but I really love how easy this one is to use, you simply swipe it across the cheeses and then blend, again really easy to do, even with your fingertips.

Revlon Lips and Cheeks
Then with the swatches from Left to right we start with the HD Gel Lipsticks, Insta Fix highlighter stick, The PhotoReady Insta Blush Stick and finally the HD Matte liquid Lipstick. 


Again, Revlon had been off my radar for such a long time that this was a nice re-introduction to the brand and I absolutely adore the Gel Lipsticks and have already purchased another one from the range! If any of these grab your attention, if you are quick, Superdrug have Revlon on a 3 for 2 deal!

Laura Geller Pucker Up Lipstick Trio - Pink

I have been lucky enough to meet the wonderful Laura Geller and chat all things blogging and makeup and there is no doubting that some of her products are simply incredible - Gilded Honey Highlighter for example! So when this Laura Geller Pucker Up Lipstick Trio, which is a limited edition set arrived I was quite excited.
Laura Geller Pucker Up Lipstick Trio - Pink

Laura Geller Pucker Up Lipstick Trio - Pink
The lipstick set comes in two different options - Natural or the one I got which is Pink. They are both priced at £25 and have launched to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Laura Geller Beauty. 

Each lipstick within this collection is a high-shine, buttery lip shade which glides onto the lips, coating them in some extremely pigmented shades of pink, all of which by the way is really flattering. The three shades of lipstick are:
  • Petal: Energetic fuchsia which is an incredible pink
  • Pink: vibrant pink with red tones
  • Rose: A light pink which is nude toned and really lovely for everyday wear

Laura Geller Pucker Up Lipstick Trio - Pink

I really like the mix of colours you get within this trio and you can even layer them to make your own pink shade. With a satin finish, they stay on the lips for a good 4-5 hours before you need to re-apply. I love how creamy the formula is and how it feels on the lips. 

Are you a fan of Laura Geller makeup?

Primark P.S Pro Liquid Matte Lipstick

A few weeks ago I introduced a few Primark palettes into my stash (here) and I like them, yes they cost £4, yes they are not as good as higher end brands but what they are great for is to play around with, practice and some of the shades are pretty stunning as you can see here. Today, however, I am moving on from Palettes and I am onto the PS Pro Kiss Proof Liquid Matte Lipsticks.

There is quite an array of shades to pick up from your nudes right through to the bright red, coral and even dark berry shades.  I decided to go for something in the middle and something that I would feel comfortable wearing and it is called Rose in Paris!
Primark P.S Pro Liquid Matte Lipstick
Primark P.S Pro Liquid Matte Lipstick

Primark P.S Pro Liquid Matte Lipstick
So firstly, the packaging is actually rather good and quite similar to other Liquid Matte lipsticks that I have tried.  Encased in a glass bottle, you can clearly see the shade that you have purchased and the shade you see is pretty much the shade that comes out and transfers onto the lips - one brand I tried with a berry shade dried almost black, this one did not dry a much darker shade - thankfully.

The doe foot applicator is also quite impressive, it picks up a lot of the liquid lipstick and makes the application really straightforward and the colour pay off is so much better than I was expecting and you literally only need to coat the lips in no more than two swipes I found. There is a subtle hint of vanilla but not so much that it has me turning my nose up. As this is a Matte Liquid Lipstick you do need to prep your lips beforehand because it will emphasise any flakiness, dry skin and just looks horrendous. Once on the lips, I was surprised and how comfortable it was to wear, I readily hold my hands up and say that I did expect to find this liquid lipstick drying and just awful, but it was quite the opposite. It begins to dry as soon as it has been applied and photos were taken with and without the flash show that there is quite the sheen before it dries.
Primark P.S Pro Liquid Matte Lipstick
Primark P.S Pro Liquid Matte Lipstick
Once it has completely dried, it does settle into the lines of the lips slightly but not so much so that I am quick to wipe it off and start again, in fact for the £3 price tag, I am pleased with the overall finish. The real test comes with the staying power, I haven't given it the Kiss Proof test but it definitely does not transfer on to cups and glasses whilst I have drunk and even if you wipe your mouth, there is only the faintest transfer of colour.  As the day goes on the colour does fade and if you are going out in an evening, then re-application is a must with this to bring back the colour, otherwise, it lasts perfectly well for 5-6 hours.

So another thumbs up from me from the PS Pro range and for the price, it is worth trying, especially if you haven't yet tried a liquid Lipstick and are not sure if they are for you!

Sleek Power Plump Lipsticks

Sleek is one of my favourite Highstreet brands, you more than get value for money and these new Power Plump Lipsticks* (£5.49 each) which I have just received are ones to look out for. I love lip crayons and they do remind me of the NARS lip pencils in design.


Sleek Power Plump Lipsticks
Sleek Power Plump Lipsticks
Sleek Power Plump Lipsticks
These lipsticks come in 6 gorgeous shades so there is something for everyone, whether you like your lighter shades or something a little more bold, brighter and vibrant, whatever your shade, one of these will be for you. Now the formula took me by surprise because even though I know Sleek is a brilliant brand, I wasn't quite expecting these to be so pigmented, so that is a huge bonus. They literally glide and slide onto your lips effortlessly and once they are applied, there is a bit of a minty scent which I quite like. Now as these pencils are designed to plump those lips, there is a slight tingling sensation which lasts for around 5 minutes before fading. It isn't uncomfortable in the slightest and it does help those lips plump, though not to the extent you have a trout pout!

So the six shades are:
  • Raving Rouge - This is a really lovely bright red shade and I like it a lot, for someone who doesn't feel comfortable wearing red, I like this.
  • Berry Burst - This is my favourite shade of the bunch and it also happens to be the darkest of the shades it gives such great colour payoff too. 
  • Power Pink - Now this really is quite a soft pink that is perfect for those like me who adore anything and everything pink, but cannot wear hot pink without looking washed out.
  • Fully Fuchsia - I don't think any collection is complete without a red and a hot pink and here we have the hot pink. It is a stunning pink shade and every bit the Barbie-esque pink you want and need in your life.
  • Colossal Coral - Now this is the one I expected to dislike the most as I can not pull off a coral lip, but it isn't as orange as I was expecting it to be and it is a shade I can wear comfortably. 
  • Notorious Nude - Every needs a nude, and this is one of my favourites for one of those in a rush days where you don't have time to debate which shade you want and therefore you need something nice and simple, this is that nude.
From Left to right - Berry Burst, Raving Rouge, Colossal Coral, Fully Fuschia, Notorious Nude and Power Pink

I love that these lip crayons are versatile enough to either line the lips or chubby enough to cover the whole lip and they are perfect for keeping in your handbag, makeup bag and your stash for your hour of need.


Do you have a favourite shade from the 6?

Urban Decay biggest lipstick Launch EVER! #LipstickismyVice

As soon as I saw that Urban Decay was about to release a 100 (yes ONE HUNDRED) new lipsticks, the word excitement doesn't quite cover it and with Ruby Rose as the face of the launch, it was always going to be amazing.

The Vice Collection combines everything from new shades to cult favorites you thought you’d never see again and several shades were inspired by some of the other lip products and even Eyeshadows and Eye Pencils.

Encased inside iconic Urban Decay packaging, vice lipsticks come in a modernized luxed-up version of the original lipstick case. The faceted gunmetal casing with gold base screams luxury and the debossed lettering adds that little some extra. In true Urban Decay style, each lipstick also features an embossed UD.


Urban Decay biggest lipstick Launch EVER! #LipstickismyVice
Urban Decay biggest lipstick Launch EVER! #LipstickismyVice
Urban Decay biggest lipstick Launch EVER! #LipstickismyVice

Each lipstick will cost just £15 and with 100 to choose from there is something for everything whether you like your bold brights, Vampy or subtle neutral shades you will find something and they are available in 6 different finishes, 
  • Mega Matte — super intense matte
  • Comfort Matte — their creamiest matte
  • Cream — the original creamy luxury formula
  • Metallized — cream with a high level of pearl pigments
  • Sheer — a punch of color, with a sheer, shiny finish
  • Sheer Shimmer — slightly transparent finish with floating pearl and a smooth texture
I have five lipsticks from the collection to share with you today and all of them feature in Wende's top 10 picks and I can see why!

Urban Decay biggest lipstick Launch EVER! #LipstickismyVice

Urban Decay biggest lipstick Launch EVER! #LipstickismyVice


714 - was originally released with the Gwen Stefani collection and it is such a stunning shade. With a Mega Matte finish, 714 is bold, it is bright and it is described as being a medium-dark red with warm orange undertones, which sadly does nothing for my complexion, but it is a stunning shade.

Firebird - is a cream finish and is described as being a deep fuchsia. It is definitely a pinkish berry shade and it has cool, blue undertones which works well with my skin tone.  It applies like a dream and there is a fuchsia pearl shade which shows through which I really like along with a very natural sheen.

Big Bang - is a metallized finish and is described as being a bright pink sparkle shade. It is a raspberry pink shade with quite subtle, cool undertones and it has a light pink micro-glitter which reflects amazingly in the light. I don't think I have ever owned a lipstick that looks this glittery, but when the lipstick is applied, it isn't uncomfortable, the glitter doesn't drag or scratch the lips at all, it isn't rough and nor does it look as though you have just covered your lips in glitter, it is just the right amount of noticeable.

BackTalk - is a Comfort Matte finish and is described as being a mauve nude, though it does have a slight pinkish tint to it. It is also a lipstick with cool undertones but with a satin finish and it is one of those shades that everyone can wear. It applies much more smoothly than the other four lipsticks and I adore it.

Pandemonium - is a Mega Matte finish and is a dark, almost red toned purple which has a satin finish.  Again it applies to the lips like an absolute dream and it has a very light shimmer to it and again, this is a shade I wasn't expecting to like at all but I absolutely love it. 


Each lipstick shade has amazing colour pay off, literally like nothing else I have seen. Urban Decay use their propriety Pigment Infusion System which gives the formula its super creamy texture. Add to that there is in the infusion of a butte blend to hydrate, soften and enhance which leaves your lips feeling soft and conditioned. Aloe Vera, Jojoba, Avocado and Babassu oils help to nourish and soften your lips and Illipe Buter provides long lasting moisture with added Vitamin C and E give a hit of antioxident.

So not only do you get a fabulous lipstick, but you get one which looks after your lips whilst you are wearing it and I now need the other 95!.  Not sure which of the 100 lipsticks will suit you? Well there is an Urban Decay app which allows you to try on all the lipsticks to see which one works and which one doesn't and it is a whole lot of fun, bit like Tinder for lipstick!


Have you seen a shade you like the look of?

Too Faced Melted Lipsticks



I am a huge fan of the brand Too Faced and I am a little bit obsessed with these Too Faced Melted Lipsticks. Did you know that the Too Faced Co-Founder and Creative Director Jerrod Blandinowas inspired by lipstick in its melted form when he saw it is a cosmetic lab? Jerrod said he had never seen lipstick more beautiful, intense, rich and glossy than when it’s in its melted form and it was this which inspired Melted.

I have four shades within my collection, two of those are called Melted Metal and you will see from the swatches below how beautiful they are. With the staying power of a stain, the intense color of a liquid lipstick and the high shine of a gloss all in one product, they are more than worth their price tag of £19 in my opinion.

The lipsticks come with a Precision tip applicator which allows for a clean, effortless application each time, one swipe is enough to coat your lips and a lip brush isn't required for these which is also a bonus.


Too-Faced-Melted-Lipsticks
Too-Faced-Melted-Lipsticks
Too-Faced-Melted-Lipsticks

The four shades I have are Melted Metallic Debutante, Melted Ruby, Melted Metallic Peony, Melted Peony and that is the order they follow for the swatches in the last photograph.

Melted Metallic Debutante is a really vibrant pop of coral-pink and as you can see from the swatch it has a golden-orange micro-shimmer to it. I found this one a little harder to wear than the other three on the basis that I cannot really pull off the golden-orange coral, but it is a stunning lipstick and I tend to wear it under other lipsticks so I can use it to its advantage.

Melted Ruby is best described as blood red and really makes an impact when worn. Slightly glossy in finish it looks medium to dark cherry red once applied and it has cool, pinky undertones. Again the lastability on this lipstick is phenomenal, it lasts all day. The consistency for this lipstick is much thinner than the other three that I have.

Melted Metallic Peony
is a light-medium pink and as you can see from the swatch, it has a mix of pink and gold micro-shimmer for what is described as being a frosted, metallic sheen. Once applied it lasts for a good 5-6 hours before you need to re-apply and it is just a stunning shade.

Melted Peony
 is described as being a dusty rose shade. When swatched and then worn, it is a really light-medium, perhaps muted pink shade which has subtle warm undertones and has a satin finish. Once applied, it has amazing staying power and I find it only needs to be re-applied once throughout the day.


As I have said, I adore these lipsticks and have ordered a few other shades to try. I love that they are long lasting, they don't cling to dry parts on my lips and are easy to apply. Have you tried them?

Makeup Revolution Rose Gold Lipsticks

Last week I was lucky enough to attend the Makeup Revolution 2nd Birthday Party at Cafe De Paris, here in London and what an amazing night it was. What I love about Makeup Revolution is that there is seemingly no end to the creative talents from the team, from which, they are able to offer amazing products at highstreet prices.  These products rival some of the biggest brands out there and have shown that you don't need to spend hundreds of pounds to fill your makeup bag.

I have the full collection of Makeup Revolution Rose Gold Lipsticks to showcase today and they cost just £3 each! Seriously, £3 for a lipstick which not only looks stunning, it has a great pigment to it too and from this range, I am sure everyone will find at least one shade they love. Again, with Rose Gold still being the 'in thing' currently, it might just be that must have item you need in your bag!

Makeup Revolution Rose Gold Lipsticks

Makeup Revolution Rose Gold Lipsticks
There are five shades within this collection and I really like the formula. Not only are they so creamy that they glide onto the lips, they are also incredibly pigmented and they don't stick to dry bits on your lips! Each lipstick has a brilliant name, to work with its colour and they are:

Red Carpet: Now red lipsticks scare me, I have very pale skin and I am convinced it is not a shade that I can pull off.  This is a stunning shade of red and I am yet to give it a try, but from the swatch, shown below both with and without a flash, you can see how amazing it is. 

Diamond Life: This is an amazing shade and one I have worn on many occasions.  It looks as though it is going to be a really deep purple shade, but in comparison to Private Members Club, it is much lighter. 

Chauffeur: This is a very wearable browny nude shade which is perfect for those days when you want a bit of colour but nothing to bright.  It is quite a cool toned shade, so it works well with my lips, it doesn't give me that foundation lip look that other nudes have given. 
Makeup Revolution Rose Gold Lipsticks

Girls Best Friend: This shade is the perfect pink for those who like their bright pink lipsticks.  Though it does absolutely nothing for me and isn't a shade I can pull off, it is just beautiful and I am sad I have to love it from afar.

The final shade is Private Members Club and this is another stunning shade and for me is a favourite alongside Diamond Life.  When I took it out of the bullet, I actually thought it was going to be black until I swatched it, so I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was a very dark purple shade. 

So there you have five stunning, Rose Gold designed lipsticks in five very different shades.  Do you have a favourite?
