My Christmas Lip Choices

Today as I promised, Since it's actually Christmas Eve, eeeep! (can you tell I'm excited!)

So I wanted to share my most Christmas Appropriate Lip choices, I actually did a makeup post which will be everything I wear on my face on Christmas day featuring two of these lip products so that is HERE if you want to check if out I would love to know your thoughts!

So I have tried to cater to everyone's lip choices, as I thought this would be more interesting if there are lots of different lip colours and you can see what ones I'm loving and what one's I am likely to wear on Christmas and the period leading up to the day and the other days after christmas!

I have got one high end lipstick to share with you and three drugstore lip colours, and a drugstore lip gloss so I'd love to know which is the one out of these you would wear for Christmas Day! Or tell me what you will be wearing out of all your lip colours!

Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet Matte Lipstick in La Mysterieuse

This is such a pretty and non drying matte lipstick! The colour here in the photo doesn't really do it justice it is more of a red pink shade, and I find it really complements my skin tone. And it is my first Chanel lipstick so it is my most prized expensive lipstick in my collection! Ah I just adore it!

£26.00

Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick in 107

It is my Christmas lip option this year along with the Tanya Burr lip gloss to add a bit of shine to it! It's a beautiful berry purple/red but just looks so gorgeous with a gold eye and if you've seen my last post you'll know at christmas I'm having gold eyes and this on the lips and it's a stunning combination paired together!

£5.49

Rimmel Kate Moss lipstick in 22

Ah! This lip is for the bright red lip fans, it is gorgeous and as it isn't matte it is so moisturising, all day long. It applies so easily as it's so smooth and moisturising too, and I feel like with some contour and highlight it looks so pretty, I love a lot of highlighter with a bold lip it just makes me feel like a glowing goddess haha!

£5.49

Rimmel Kate Moss lipstick in 38

This is a gorgeous nude pink colour, which is perfect for those who just want something simple that wont ned reapplying too much, or look obvious when some has worn off your lips. It is a lovely classy and elegant colour as it just makes your lips look the perfect pink/nude which isn't too obvious. 

£5.49

Tanya Burr Limited Edition Mini Lipgloss in Sugar and Spice

My newest lip gloss edition this is. The lipgloss is such a lovely consistency and smells Amazing!! It isn't too pigmented and can be worn ontop of lipsticks, I love to pair it with matte lipsticks to add some shine when they look too drying on the lips. Which is what I will be doing with Rimmel Kate 107 and this lip gloss on Christmas Day, I can't wait!

Merry Christmas Everyone!

My Christmas Makeup Of The Day - Everything Drugstore

Currently it is only 3 more sleeps until christmas day! and I am actually super excited! So I thought I would do a post on the makeup I plan on wear on Christmas day and this is it, carry on if you want to see everything I used! I used only drugstore products as I'm really loving so much from Boots and Superdrug at the moment! (UK Drugstore Beauty shops)

So I first used my new favourite foundation the Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation, which I featured in a Drugstore Makeup haul here which gives such a flawless base and gives a light to medium coverage. I use the shade 52 which is the second lightest shade.

I then used the Soap and Glory kick ass concealer, just to cover up my dark circles with the peachier shade in the duo and then the more yellow shade to cover any pesky blemishes! It's a really good concealer duo as both shades will be good for most skin tones, to correct and conceal.

I didn't use any bronzer as I think I don't need too much with the bold lip and dramatic eyes but you could use some on your skin! I used a No7 highlighting stick to make me skin glow and look really fresh, which I think is perfect for christmas day as I can go all out with the shimmery eye shadows and glowing skin!

I will then use the gorgeous Tanya Burr Hollywood palette which you can see below, I am just going to use the first light shade called 'Nude Delight' and Then the shade 'Enchantment' which is the most pretty gold shade, but it stays on the eyes so well with minimal fallout. If there is any I will just clear this up again with my soap and glory concealer. 

This part is also optional but I then used a tiny bit of 'Bookworm' just to deepen up my crease and to just pull the eye look together. 

I then will apply generous amounts of the Maybelline Lash Sensational after I have curled my lashes lots of times to create the look of some long and curly eyelashes. 

I then have two options for lip colours but if you want a pink or a lighter red shade instead of any of these I have a Christmas lip ideas post coming on Christmas Eve, so watch out for that my loves! 

So the first shade which I may use is an affordable drugstore lipstick is Rimmel Kate Moss in 107. It is a gorgeous dark berry colour which suits so many skin tones and is perfect for the colder season.

The second is the Tanya Burr lip gloss, mine is from her limited edition Gingerbread trio which had this lip gloss and Glittery Nail Polish and a nail file, this particular lip gloss is called 'Sugar and Spice' it has a little bit of colour to it, but nothing to out there so I may use a combination of both on Christmas Day. 

I hope you enjoyed reading and watch out for my christmas lip ideas post coming on Christmas Eve. 

Merry Christmas Everyone! 

Autumnal Christmas Party Makeup

It's getting super close to Christmas now that I thought with only just over a week to go until Christmas day I would share my christmassy related makeup with you all which is glittery and glamorous and I thought it was perfect for christmas parties!

So I used all the products below and the lipstick from the second picture to create a christmas party makeup look, sadly I didn't have time to recreate it and show you pictures of the makeup but nonetheless I will still talk you through what I used.

So all the Makeup in this top picture I used and will list them all so you can find them yourselves if you want a sneaky peek at them! 

Palette - Naked Smoky Palette By Urban Decay

Blush - Max Factor Creme Puff Blush in Seductive Pink

Bronzer and Highlighter - Seventeen Define and Conquer Contour Kit in Medium

Foundation - Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum in Shade 52 

Mascara - Maybelline Lash Sensational in Black

Highlighting Concealer - YSL Touche Eclat concealer

I first used the Bourjois Foundation, usually I use a primer but I used a moisturiser beforehand which helped the makeup to stay on well anyway, so that wasn't a necessary step for me but feel free to use one if recreating this makeup!

So I just used a pump and a half and dotted it around my face and then blended until it looked seamless and the were no streaks! I then added the highlighting concealer from YSL, which is such a beautiful product and I then put a triangle shape around the bottom of my eyes and then blended in with a buffing brush but more patting it in to help cover dark circles I had that day!

Now when I did this I was using glittery eye shadows from the palette so I should have really left the concealer until after unless there was too much fallout from the smoky shadows I used. But it worked out fine as I used a damp eye brush to apply the glitter meaning there was hardly any fallout, Bonus! But if you don't have a setting spray to wet your brush, I would leave the concealing step until eye makeup is applied!

I then started with the pink eye shadow second from the right side which is called 'Combust' I just patted this onto the lid making sure I didn't go up past the crease. I then used the shade 'Whiskey' Which is the brown shade right next to the pink I just used, and I just put this in my crease but tried to keep a crisp line in line with the end of my eyebrow and the corner of my eye so I looked a bit winged out so I did this on the outer v too, and this created a lovely dramatic brown eye, I then added the champagne-y pink colour in 'High' onto my lid right on top of where I had placed the 'Combust' shade. So then the look was completed apart from inner corner highlight which I then added using the colour 'Thirteen' which is the last shade to right in the palette. As the Eye Look was quite dramatic I wanted my brows to look a bit fuller and bigger so I have quite dark blonde brows but I took the brown colour and put the tiniest amount through my brows to keep them natural and just give them a bit more colour.

I then added the Contour to my cheeks using the Seventeen Contour Kit I used the bronzing shade to contour, and then I went to use the Max Factor Blush just above my cheek bone level slightly and then I used the highlighter from the Seventeen Kit just above my bronzer and blush to give me that party glow!

I then added lots of coats of my favourite mascara which is the Maybelline Lash Sensational! 

I then used this gorgeous lipstick from Topshop Called 'The Damned' It is a gorgeous berry purple colour on the lips but can be built up to look as dramatic in the Bullet! 

So that was everything I used to create a glowing christmas party makeup look!
