H&M lip pen - REVIEW

I recently bough a H&M Lip pen while shopping online, I purchased it in the colour beige for £2.99
It also comes in two other colours being red & pink.

It goes on great there's no need to push to hard to get it to go on like alot of lip pens but it doesn't give you much colour but that could be because the colour I chose, After the pen falling out numerous times I actually decided to look in the tube and my one has snapped quite far down :(
It's often left in the lid leaving me with an empty tube and having slices taken out of it where it's getting bashed about in the lid, Which of course if I'm not expecting (it doesn't always fall out) it leaves it sitting in my lap.
For £2.99 I'd have hoped that the lip pen would have been abit more stronger then it is, I may give repairing it a try :)

AVON colourtrend liquid foundation in Ivory Beige

I grabbed this while it was on offer in an Avon catalogue a friend had dropped into me, I was pretty chuffed with it colour was a near on perfect match went on smoothly although it felt quite heavy compared to the body shop foundation i was using before i gave this one ago, so all was going well UNTIL my eyes were watering on the way home from the school run and i got into my mums looked in the mirror to check my mascara hadn't run everywhere to be greeted with white streaks down my face and neck now i can imagine your thinking the shade is actually abit dark and my skin colour was showing through but no it was as if i'd had talc on under my eyes and that had run down my face :/ when it gets wet be it watery eyes or run it turns into a white mixture which does not look great running down your face and neck. I have this eye problem often so almost everytime i wear this i end up with white marks down my face before the day is over :(

not the best photos to show you what i mean but i was at my mums after the school run when grabbing this photo

have you had a bad experience with any of the Avon colourtrend products?

Rimmel colour show off lipstick in 050 HAVE FUN

Finally used my Rimmel colour show off lipstick in shade 050 HAVE FUN, when it arrived it wasn't anything like the colour in the picture on the fragrance direct website and i wasn't sure if I'd ever use it but i love it!
I put it on before putting anything on to give my lips some moisture so they were a little rough but after putting this on they felt really soft and as if i had put something on previous to putting this on. I got this from fragrance direct for £1.99 it's RRP is £6.29 I'll definitely be buying more shades in  :)

please excuse my lighting it really isn't great so doesn't do the lipstick justice, it doesn't help the photos are taken on an iphone :/ i will grab another one in better lighting when i get round to putting my face on soon :)

REVIEW - NYC smooch proof lip stain

excuse my bad picture taking

I purchased a NYC smooch proof 16Hr lip stain in Forever mine wine 499 from fragrance direct and it really is smooch proof, after 4 kisses of my hand i gave my partner a smooch  and  it didn't leave a mark at all, (so an automatic thumbs up from my partner & daughters they are forever walking around with big kiss marks on their cheeks) and my lips were still full of colour, The colour is absolutely amazing I LOVE it! The applicator is just like the nib on a marker which is really going to take some getting used to when applying.

I'm really struggling with applying it atm :( but will be hunting youtube for any tutorials to find out what people put on their lips before applying and how they apply it because the colour is amazing


Once i've nailed applying it i will update this post with close up's of how it looks on but for now i've added a picture of a swatch (which doesn't do it much justice, my lighting's crap in my room atm) + a picture i grabbed before wiping it off as it really bothered me how it showed up all the bits on my lips that looked like i've been biting the skin off my lips :( i'll grab a picture of this in the morning when the lighting is better in my room.

                         Thank you for reading :) any comments & suggestions welcome

BARGAIN Buys!! Fragrancedirect Website

I ordered from fragrance direct last week after seeing a post about it on instagram my friend also told me awhile ago but i totally forgot about it, my order came to a total of £12.44 then a delivery charge of £1.99, you get 4 different delivery options (i opted for 2nd class as i wasn't in a rush for my order) you get 1st class,2nd class,tracked and next day of course the delivery charge varies on which one you opt for and your waiting time will also vary on where you are, my order came within two days!! over all i'm super happy with my bargains and i will definitely be returning (i already have my basket full waiting for when i have some spare pennies) although there was a slight downfall but the prices over ride that all together!

The downfall - The two lipsticks i ordered looked like purple tones but when they arrived they were more of a pink (photos below) but for 99p and £1.99 it's not a total loss and i'm still likely to wear the shades anyway

 

 

My order

• Dainty doll in shade 004 you are my sunshine £1.99 RRP £13.50
• Rimmel match perfection in shade 071 porcelain £3.99 RRP £8.99
• Rimmel colour show off lipstick in shade 050 have fun! £1.99 RRP £6.29
• Rimmel moisture renew in shade 340 lily extase 99p RRP £4.99
• W7 deluxe eyebrow pencil with brush in blonde 99p RRP £2.99
• NYC smooch proof lip stain in 499 forever mine wine 99p RRP £3.99
• Collection 2000 skyscraper mascara in 17 ultra black £1.50 RRP £4.99 

I will do individual reviews on the items i purchased :)
