it's you and me, I know it's my destiny

Just cos she loves you, don't mean she understands

Verse's starts to get a little more personal now

In the end our love matters

On the 7th day of Christmas...

Today, my post is going to be my favourite winter lipstick/gloss/balm. Since in winter I get a lot of colds and dry lips, I tend to not wear much lipstick or even dark colours. Therefore the ones that I mostly wear and carry around with me are ones that are either easy to put on under any situation  including when you don't have a spare handy mirror, or that sooth your lips.

 I have chosen Vaseline in the coco butter flavour, which everyone needs to have a little pot of this somewhere, it's really amazing for the lips on its own, or even using it as a base for your lipstick, it's very moisturising! Then we also have Nivea Pearly Shine, this just gives the lips exactly what it says a pearly shine, its also moisturising and great to put on when you want a little bit of colour on your lips. The two lipglosses that I have are one from Barry M in the colour 'Coral', which I wore in the make up post the other day, and also a Buxom lipgloss in the colour 'Leslie' which is very minty when applied to the lips, I find this to be such a nice tooth to any makeup, this one was wore in my going out makeup post. Last but not least we have Clarins Instant light Natural Lip Perfector in '01 Rose Shimmer' which smells like vanilla, it's cross between a gel and a gloss and looks great on the lips, the colour I have is pink however they do a Apricot and Nude colour.

Plus here are some little swatch of them for you, I hope you enjoyed that post, I am hoping to get up another make up look and outfit for when I go to a party, which I think I have mentioned before, they should be coming soon. Hope you are enjoying the 12 days of Christmas, not long to go now, I still have my last bits of shopping to do, make sure you get your presents and wrap them soon! See you tomorrow! Sarah x

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!
