Maybelline SuperStay Matte Ink Lipsticks

I tried these lipsticks a while ago and I did recently de-clutter them all (April). I thought I would still share the swatches with you for reference. I only de-cluttered them because I didn’t use them, not because I didn’t like them.
Poet (60) - soft beige pink
Seductress (65) - dusty beige rose
Amazonian (70) - rich caramel brown
Fighter (75) - rich gingerbread brown
Self-Starter (130) - muted smoky peach
Ground-Breaker (117) - dark orange red
Lover (15) - dusty rose
Ruler (80) - marsala red
Voyager (50) - cool toned wine red
Heroine (25) - bright scarlet red
Creator (35) - bright violet
Believer (40) - dark eggplant purple

These matte liquid lipsticks are mean’t to be long lasting and stay on for twelve hours. They should also have intense colour pay-off and be non-drying to the lips. The arrow shaped applicator is mean’t to make it easy and more precise to apply the product to your lips. You can purchase them for £9.99 each from Boots, Superdrug, FeelUnique.com, Target and Ulta.
My First Impressions
They are kind of sticky/tacky when you first apply them, but they do dry down, apart from in the corners of your mouth. It does seem to take a while for them to dry down though. The dark colours are longer lasting than the lighter shades. They do last for hours, longer if you do not eat or drink anything, but I didn’t get to test them for a straight twelve hours. The arrow applicator does make it easy to apply and I find that one dip of product is enough to do your whole lips; you may want to dip in again for the darker shades. I always prepare my lips with lip scrub and then apply lip balm before lipstick anyway, so that they provide a nice smooth canvas for the lipstick to glide on to. I also use lip scrub and lip balm again after I have removed liquid lipstick, I find this helps prevent my lips from feeling dry. A liquid lipstick can claim not to dry out your lips, but I find my lips always feel dry after removing liquid lipstick regardless (hence double scrub & balm - prevention is better than a cure!). Overall, they are the best drugstore liquid lipsticks I have tried so far, but they do not beat my current favourite higher end ones (Jeffree Star Cosmetics).

Perfume Power! - Avril Lavigne 'Black Star'

This is my third bottle of this perfume and in the 30ml too. The bottle is designed as a star, which has a black star shaped studded cap. Around the neck of the bottle is a studded metal choker ring, which is removable and wearable for your finger. The fragrance notes are:- Top Notes: Blackcurrant, Mango, Pear & Black Plum Middle Notes: Jasmine, Lotus & Pink Hibiscus Base Notes: Musk, Sandalwood, Vanilla & Dark Mexican Chocolate To me it smells really light, fruity, floral and incredibly feminine. The floral notes stand out to me the most, as well as the musk. All of the notes complement each other very well and it is one of my all-time favourite perfumes. My only criticism is  after a while I cannot smell it on me, but people have said they can still smell it, so it must last longer than your nose leads you to believe! I just personally like to be able to still smell the perfume on me, because it is GORGEOUS! I will definitely keep on re-purchasi...

Colourpop Limoncello Palette

I first saw the tease of this palette on Trendmood’s Instagram and it instantly attracted me. I love the packaging and colour story, it just reminds me of summer. The design on the palette would also make a lovely and classy wallpaper pattern. This palette is part of the Limoncello Collection. THE PACKAGING The packaging is made out of cardboard, which is wrapped with a white, blue and yellow flowery and lemon design. The palette name and branding is printed in gold and the shade names are printed on the back of the palette. It has a magnetic closing, which you lift up to reveal the inside of the palette. The circle eyeshadow pans are arranged on a pale yellow, lemon skin textured base with the shade names printed above them at an angle in blue font. There is also a mirror on the underside of the lid. The mirror is inside a yellow cardboard base and it has a corner flower and lemon design on it. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get twelve 1g eyeshadows in Matte (M) and Metallic (ME) f...
