Favorite Lipstick | Leah'xo

Hello, are you a lipstick person? I certainly am and I am here today to tell you what my favorite lipsticks is, I know it is a fall colour but i love it <3 Let's get straight into it.


1. Nivea Pure Diamond Volume Shine in 66 Mauve Parure.
I actually couldn't find this online on an actual store but I found loads of ebay. One seller states 'Nivea VOLUME SHINE PURE DIAMOND is a light refracting glossy lipstick
infused with pure diamond powder and high shine polymers.' I can say it is glossy and is has a high shine. My sister told me it looked like it was wet in some lights. (Her amateur thoughts towards make-up means its shiny :) ) It then goes onto say '...and the creamy texture provides maximum moisture.' It is very creamy but you do have to put a generous coat on like usual to get that creamy and smooth feel on lips. It does provide moisture - at the moment mine are very dry and rubbing them together hurts. I can do this with this lipstick. The best thing about this lipstick is the apperance. It's sides are actually like a diamonds. You will see in the picture :) 

(I HAVE TO UPLOAD THE PICTURE TOMORROW. IT WAS TOO DARK TO TAKE ANY AND THE FLASH COMPLETELY WASHED ME OUT... )

June Favorites | Leah'xo

It's the end of June - I have gone through June trying L-O-A-D-S of beauty produtcts. Here is some of the ones I like :

 

This foundation is actually amazing. It glides on smoothly and doesn't wear off. I don't really think it's a 25 hour foundation but it does last a long time. This is in the shade 200 Soft Beige. It is too dark for me, I need about 2 shades lighter (I'M REALLY PALE). I did wear this for a period of time and it looked OK. It blends in perfectly meaning I got away with wearing this shade. -I don't recommend wearing 2 shades darker foundation. But I was young. ahahah. This foundation is £7.99 and can be found at Boots.com. 

 

This concealer pallette is great. I have the lightest colour (Porceline) and as you can see from the swatches there is a peachy concealer. This is great for me because I have bluey undereyes so it contrasts so well. Then there is a normal concealer for blemishes and any redness. Then there is like this pink brightner. I am actually nervous to try this but i've been loving the other two.

 

 I use this pencil brush to apply the concealer and blend with my ring finger. The heat from your finger helps the cream concealers to blend.

 This is my ALL TIME favorite. As you can see the lipstick looks orangy red. But it's not. I was gutted when I realised it wasn't a lipstick but now I love it. When you apply a few coats it leaves a sheen, glossy look to your lips. It has a orange tint to it but it a beautiful orange. When you have a close up the lipstick in the tube has chunks of glitter. LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS..

And that's it for my monthly favorites make sure to tweet me your favorite item for this month at @beautybyleah

I was thinking of doing a none beauty favorites, would anybody like to see that? 

Much Love,
