Colour Pop Lippie Stix

Colour Pop is one of those American beauty brands that we all want to try yet can't get our hands on because its not accessible in the UK which is one of the most annoying things. I'd mainly heard about this brand and their incredible products from the likes of Jaclyn Hill and Glitteralittle. There are so many things I want to try but this is number 1 on my list.

Colour Pop's Lippie Stix are the things I've heard of the most and I had seen this shade swatched a few times so when I came across it on eBay I had to have it. This is in the shade Lumiere - a matte mauve pink colour. This colour is so me and reminds me of the likes of Twig and Mehr from MAC. With it being matte I was concerned about how drying it would be but its honestly so creamy and doesn't dry out the lips what so ever. This also has a really long wear time and doesn't transfer that much either. 

I really like the packaging of this too- to me its just so American. The holographic writing is so cute too and just makes everything look so cute and put together. I paid about £11 for this which I didn't mind at all; most of them I found where way more expensive. I really do love this product and I want to try more from their brand. Next on my list is a nude Lippie Stix and maybe an eye shadow!

Cheap Treat Tuesday - Tangle Attack

After all the hype about the Tangle Teezer I really wanted it yet I couldn't justify spending £7.50 on what was essentially a brush for a horse. However while browsing though my local Poundland I spotted this, a dupe!! For £1!! 

I'm honestly so excited about this- I feel like I can finally get on the bandwagon even though mine is more of a fake. I rarely brush my hair (I know, how bad of me!) but now I'm happy that I can easily get rid of all my cotters just like that. What I love about this is it has the original ones shape, so its easy to grasp and makes gliding this through your hair so simple. Overall I like the idea of this brush way more than a standard one with a handle. As for the bristles there neither hard nor soft so it doesn't feel like a rake to your scalp which obviously is a bonus. 

This Tangle Attack also comes in a case which I really like, its also very handy incase you've got left over hair in it or if its still wet. Talking about using this with wet hair I've also used it with dry and think it does an exceptional job. As soon as I'm out of the shower and have used various hair products I then brush through with this and it makes my hair so smooth and sleek looking. My hair also appears less frizzy when its dried too. 

In comparison to the original Tangle Teezer, even though I haven't tried it, this feels a little hollow and low quality. Nonetheless it does the job and it does it well and I cant imagine it being much different to the Tangle Teezer.

Another MAC lipstick

MAC lipsticks are my favourite lipsticks and are something in which I constantly have an ongoing wishlist of the ones I'm wanting. This is my 8th MAC lipstick and it was sort of a quick purchase. I was looking at which shades I though Sarah would like (blog here) as it was going to be a birthday present. When I came across this I really loved it and thought she would too so I sneakily popped two in my basket! This is the shade Mehr.

It's a matte shade which I'm not overly fond on but I do think the more recent ones I've purchased have been lots more creamier. The colour is so hard to describe, its in between a mauve pink and a berry colour. It's very similar to Twig but just has more pink and is a little more vibrant. 

What I love about this is that its great for daytime wear or night time which is great because its better value for money! I would definitely recommend if you like the whole Kylie Jenner lip colour but a touch more pink!

All about that gold highlight

While reorganising my make up collection I came across a few products that I forgot how much I used to love and wanted to use them a bit more or incorporate them into my every day routine. 

The Benefit beams and tints are products I have yet never use and I don't know why because I really love them! I think its just when you find something that you prefer you never seem to go back to what you originally used to love! I've been loving the weather recently and as I've been wearing self tan I wanted to bronze up my skin a little more while at the same time being dewy and having a highlight all in one. This product does this job perfectly! I've been doing my whole make up routine except for highlight and then 'drawing' this on the usual points I would highlight. I use quite a dense brush just to blur that into the skin so there's no harsh lines.

Over the top of Sun Beam I've been loving MAC's Soft and Gentle highlighter! I've been constantly using Mary Lou from The Balm so this hasn't been used much. But as Sun Beam is gold I had to apply a gold highlighter over the top. I like this one as it has just the right amount of glitter and it really does look good paired with the liquid highlighter. 

I feel like a golden goddess when sporting these two together and couldn't wait to tell you all about it!
