Max Factor Colour Elixir Lipstick Review

Last month I decided to buy a new lipstick. After hearing that Max Factor had brought out a lipstick, I decided to look at them. I knew I wanted a dark, deep red, so looking through the lipsticks I found Mulberry perfect!

It's a really creamy formula which smells lovely! It has the caramel-toffee smell about it. This lipstick really moisturises your lips, making them feel soft all day long.

However I do wish this lipstick was slightly darker as it comes out quite dark pink/red on your lips. But I do love this lipstick and I'm glad I bought it. It's perfect for Autumn!

This lipstick along with 15 other different shades which can be bought here.

Nars The Multiple Review

Recently I bought Nars The Multiple. It’s quite pricey so I could decide whether to splash out or not, however I’m so glad I did. I bought the shade Maui which is a dusty rose colour, perfect for all seasons and for day and night. This multi-purpose product (hence the name) can be used on cheeks, eyes and lips. This cream-to-powder product goes on to skin so smoothly.

Usually I use this on my cheeks as it gives you the perfect flush of colour for your cheeks, however from time to time I do wear it on my eyes. Although it can be used on your lips I find it a bit drying so if I was to use it on my lips I would definitely need a lip gloss on top. I find that the blush lasts all day and gives a really nice, brightening colour to your cheeks. I really recommend this product and definitely for people wanting that everyday natural look. I’m pretty sure I will be buying another shade in the future.

Nail Of The Day: Andrea Fulerton Petrol In Water

Today's NOTD is Andrea Fulerton's Petrol In Water. Last week I bought this nail varnish and I love it! This is a trio nail varnish meaning you get 3 nail varnish shades in one!! It works by using one of the 2 colours or layering them to achieve a glittery duocrome shade that changes colour when it hits the light.

This has got to be one of my favourite nail varnishes ever! It is a gorgeous blue that changes to purple in the light with glitter all over. I don't think these pictures gives the nail varnish enough justice, it is just amazing! This nail varnish dries very quickly, making it touchable within minutes. I've worn this for 5 days now with Sally Hansen Double Duty base coat and Sally Hansen insta-dri on top and it has not chipped once!!! I really recommend this nail varnish as you can probably tell; retailing at £7.99 I think it's a steal- 3 nails varnish for £7.99!!!


You can buy Andrea Fulerton Petrol In Water here. Sally Hansen base coat can be bought here. And Sally Hansen Insta-dri top coat can be purchased here.

August Favourites

It's the beginning of September and the start of Autumn for England; well the last few days have been the nicest we've had all summer which is typical! But September means it's time for me to write my August Favourites. I have been on holiday so in this months favourites there are a lot of products I used on holiday.

L-R Nars The Multiple in Maui, Makeup For Ever Aqua Cream in Shade 12, Vaseline Essential Moisture, Sally Hansen Insta-dri, Vo5 Surf Style.

Nars The Multiple: I bought this whilst I was on holiday after wanting it for ages! The multiple is what is says on the tin- a product to use in multiple ways. You can use this on your cheeks, eyes and lips; although when using on lips I find its a bit drying so I use a lip gloss or lip balm on top. I have this in Maui as I think its a perfect blusher colour for summer and winter. You can get The Multiple in darker shades for a more bronzed look and for a limited time Nars have released The Multiple in their famous bronzer shade Laguna.

Make Up For Ever Aqua Cream: It's hard to get Make Up For Ever in the U.K so when I found out there was a Sephora near where I was staying I was so excited. I've heard a lot of good reviews on the Aqua Cream so I knew I had to buy it. This waterproof cream came in so handy on holiday; I could wear it to the beach and didn't have to worry in the slightest about it running down my face when in the sea.

Vaseline Essential Moisture: Whenever I go on holiday my legs get so dry and cracked; which really is not a pretty sight and makes my tan look rubbish. So i found this moisturiser heavenly as it made my skin silky smooth and made my tan long lasting and looking amazing.

Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Top Coat: I was on the hunt for a good top coat for ages. I was so tired of my nail varnish chipping after 2 days. I picked up this about a month ago and I love it! My nail varnish now doesn't chip for 5-7 days!

Vo5 Surf Style: During summer I cut down on heat I use on my hair. So I curl and straighten my hair a lot less and let my hair dry naturally. I found Vo5 Surf Style really useful in keeping your hair looking nice with little effort. I would spray this on when my hair was wet and then scrunch my hair. When my hair was dry, I would have really nice messy beach waves.

You can buy Nars The Multiple here. You can also buy Make Up For Ever Aqua Cream here. Vaseline Essential Moisture which can be found in all supermarkets can also be bought here. You can buy Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Top Coat online here. Vo5 Surf Style Spray can not be bought from boots or superdrug anymore, however Vo5 Surf Style texturising paste is available in supermarkets and online and works just the same as the spray.
