Baby Lips Review (Tinted).

Yes, everyone and their dog seems to have reviewed baby lips but I wanted to share my thoughts and views on them as well.
 

They claim to be a eight hour moisturising lip balm that will make your lips healthy and baby soft, hence the name. There are 6 different types out in England although I have seen many other cool types in other countries, you lucky things! In the collection there are three tinted (pink punch, peach kiss, cherry me) and three clear lip balms (hydrate, intense care, mint fresh). I own the three tinted balms and they all have their own scent and colour, where as the three clear ones all have different jobs.


Personally I really like these, I find them very moisturising and they feel lovely on the lips. Do they last eight hours? No. Although they do last for a couple. My favourite of the three I own is pink Punch, It has a fruity scent that reminds me of holidays and has a bright pink colour with blue undertones, I find it to be the most pigmented of the three offering a slightly glossy finish. For me cherry me is nice but only slightly reddens my natural lip shade, I'm not keen on its scent as I think it smells quite artificial. Peach kiss smells amazing, I love the smell of peach, It only has a champagne shimmer to It but it looks very natural on its own or pretty under a bright lipgloss.

As for the packaging although maybe looking a little cheap, I really like it, its bright and cheerful and let's face it, you're less likely to lose it in your bag. One thing you can also do is swap around the lids for different colour ways.


All in all I really like them and will eventually get the clear ones and do a review. For £2.99 these are great little lipbalms for throwing in your bag, for putting in your purse or pocket or for natural make up and can be bought easily online or in store. You could even give one or the set as a present!
 
What is your favourite baby lips, which one should I try out?

Ootd~Kittens and coral

This is currently one of my go to outfits. Its has carried me through the summer and the winter, This shot was taken in August but I am wearing the same today as well. Unfortunately the weather has turned bad, so I have added some woolly tights and a long navy cardigan with the sleeves rolled up to 3/4 length. 
 
 
Skater skirt: Topshop £18, similar one here
kitty T-shirt: Topshop £16
Lipstick: Mac, Vegas volt, £15
 
For my hair I just sprayed a little bit of sea salt spray (review coming soon!) and gripped up the front. I just did my normal make up but on my lips I have on Mac- Vegas volt, it is the most beautiful coral colour that goes perfectly with the sky blue/denim element of this outfit.
In this outfit the T-shirt is the main feature, and although it is not something I would normally go for I really love the way It looks, It comes in normal sizes petite and they even do a baby version (how cuuttee!). I wear this just with my black converse and some Topshop frilly socks.
 
I have been loving Topshop recently, what is you go-to outfit?

The Now Brow.

Yes you probably know what I'm on about, and if you don't where have you been! Cara Delevingne the queen of brows brought this trend round and I decided to join in. Big, bushy and bold all the way. Now I have strong-ish brows, not really bold but not over plucked or thin either. I had never really bothered with my eyebrows before, but recently I have tried and tested and have found the perfect product.
seriously envious of just about everything.... Look at those brows
 I have tried pencils but it didn't look natural enough, so when I saw the Maybelline Brow Drama eyebrow gel in dark brown I thought it sounded like a great product. It claims to be "A ultimate fashion finish for brows, with a detailing ball brush, and a no clump, no streak formula." And comes In three shades: Deep blonde, Medium brown, Dark brown so every one can give it a go.


 
 I find this fab for my Already full brows, It adds the perfect amount of subtle colour without looking unnatural. All I do is brush my eyebrows upwards and slightly across, this creates a natural, full look. I have tried this on my grandma who has very fine, barely there brows. It did work but an eyebrow pencil was still needed to fill in gaps.
 
 
For £4.99 this won't break the bank and, overall I feel that this is fantastic for brows and I would definitely recommend it. It will look fabulous on people with medium/thick brows and will give you your very own natural Cara brow.
 
What are your go to brow products?
