My Lip Products

Over the passed month or so I've really gotten into wearing things on my lips so I thought I'd dig up some of my forgotten products and show them to you and hopefully start wearing them more!



1. Essence XXXL Lip gloss-04 Rising Star
2. Rimmel Apocalips-600 Nude Eclipse
3. Seventeen Lip Lustre-Ice Maiden
4. NYC Kiss Gloss-539 Soho Sweetpea

1.The first lipgloss is from essence. The writings all been rubbed off though. I LOVE the smell of this, it's like raspberries. It's lovely. :) I quite like it, nothing bad to say really.

2.I really like the colour of the Rimmel Apocalips. It looks really pretty but I find my lips go dry. I'm not sure if I'm just applying it wrong or what, but that's what happens to me. Its a really nice nude if you're looking for one though.

3. Unfortunately this lip gloss is sticky. I still wear it as it make a good top coat but it's sticky which is disappointing.

4. The Kiss Gloss is not my favourite. I find that it doesn't last that long and mine has ended up smelling really weird, so weird that I almost puke which isn't pleasant.



1. Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick- 700 Nude Delight
2. Rimmel Kate-107
3. NYC-438 Candy Rush
4. Maybelline Color Whisper-55 One Size Fits Pearl 

1+2. I quite like both Rimmel lipsticks. I don't really wear no. 107 and have worn Nude Eclipse more, but I'm happy with both of them and they've got good colour pigmentation. My lips tend to get slightly dry though but I could be applying it wrong or not moisturising my lips enough.

3.I think I've only worn the NYC lipstick about twice because it seems to be very glittery and I'm not sure if I like it or not. I can't say much on it really but it is a nice pink.

4. Maybelline Color Whisper, hmmm. I'm not happy with this colour. Literally I'm not even kidding you, there is NO colour. It's practically the same as a lip balm. Like, I have swatched it in the photo but you can't even see it! DON'T buy this colour. I don't own any other ones so I can't give an overall opinion but this colour is just nothingness. 
Has anyone bought another colour? If so, what colour and how did you get on with it?
I talked about the Kate Moss lipstick and Color Whisper a bit more here if you're interested.

So yeah, that's all my lip products. Anyone got any or maybe in a another colour? How did you find them to be?

Any recommendations? I'm always open to new ideas :)

The Owl Bag




I'm a big fan of owls and I was given this bag for Christmas last year. It's so adorable and I believe it's from Accessorize. I think you can get a fox one too! It's probably not available anymore though. Sorry!
It can't hold a massive amount in side as the sides are sort of tight but it holds what it needs to (purse, phone, lipstick etc) and it's so cute! It would definitely brighten up any outfit.

A Sprinkle of Glitter

The one thing that grabs my attention where ever I am is sparkly things. Diamonds, glitter the lot. So, when it comes to nails, I love glitter top coats.


1.Mode Cosmetics- Influential Miss
2.Models Own- Freak Out! (Mirror Ball Collection)
3. Miss Sporty- Sparkle Touch
4. Claires Cosmetics


I'm very impressed with this polish. I only paid around $2/3 and it does what it has to. It coats evenly, dries quickly and doesn't chip. I've never seen this brand before so I'm not sure where it's available. I also bought a blue and a matte top coat. The blues very good as well and I haven't yet used the matte top coat.
I'm aware that it looks gold but it's actually silver.


I'm actually quite disappointed with this one. The colours are really pretty but unfortunately it has a few flaws.
Firstly, it doesn't spread evenly which is highly annoying. Because of this, you end up putting on a few coats just to cover your nail.
On top of that, it doesn't dry properly. I find it takes thrice as long and you need to put a clear coat on top to seal it. However, even after doing all that, it still smudges off because you've got too many coats.
So yes, I like the packaging and think it looks really pretty but I wouldn't recommend it.


This is definitely my favourite glitter out of all three polishes. I'm on my second bottle and I find it's BRILLIANT for doing stars on Galaxy nail. So if you're looking for a glitter top coat for galaxy nails, this is the one. I think it looks really pretty, dries nicely and applies evenly. I only paid about ₤2/3.


I got this as a part of a Christmas present at least 3 years ago and it's still not gloopy or sticky yet. Well done Claires! It's really pretty, lasts ages and spreads and dries easily.

So, there are some of my favourite glitter polishes. I absolutely love them and find they always add "spice" to boring nails. Glitter's a killer to take off though!
