On the 1st day of Christmas...

So here are two lip colours that I have paired together to wear on a night out, for my friends birthday party! I find that they work well together and perfect for a bit of glitter as they both are very sparkly colours! First we have Benefit Ultra Shines - 'Wild Child'. I keep having to think if I actually like this product of not due to the fact that is smells and tastes quite nasty, but I do actually like the formulation as well as the colour, therefore seen as I bought it I let it go, but I do not see myself going back to buy another one of these products. The lip colour I used on the base is by Revlon and I have to say that this one did impress me, it's one of those colours that you swatch and buy right there and then. It is called '457 - 'Wild Orchid'. Just realised both these colours start with wild, it really is a wild lip! The formulation of this lipstick is perfect, applies nice and easy and sparkles on the lips. Due to the blue undertones it also makes the teeth look whiter which is always nice!!

 Here are both of the colours swatched together, look how pretty they are!? I love that they both have little sparkles in them that are similar. Of course it's not an everyday lip look but for a party I find that is fits perfectly! Have a nice day and I will see you all tomorrow!

Benefit Lipsticks

As you know I am a huge fan of lipsticks and I have been buying a lot of them recently. To start off, I wanted to show you the Benefit lipsticks that I have. I only have three so it's nothing special and all of them are quite different which is pleasing to know.

So I have 'Mod Squad' which is a pale pink with a hint of shimmer, 'Pinking Of You' which is a deep pink with shimmer and then last but not least 'Saucy' which is a deep orange/coral colour with shimmer. I have found that a lot of benefit lipsticks normally have shimmer/glitter in them which can actually be slightly annoying once applied to the lips.

Here are the three swatched (Saucy, Mod Squad and Pinking Of You) as you can see the formula is not matte at all and is almost glossy, I find that you don't need to even apply a gloss with these lipsticks and that they are not very long lasting and so will need to be touched up often through-out the day.

And that's all, I took the a picture of the swatches in light inside as well as outside just to give you a feel for the colour and you can see them better. I hope you enjoyed this post, do you have any benefit lipsticks, what are you thoughts on them? I tried to take pictures of them on my lips but the quality was not good and you couldn't see the colour very well. I haven't figured out how to take the picture but one day in the future I will have them posted. Have a great week everyone!
