Sometimes I like to ditch my lipsticks and keep it simple by wearing a lip balm or gloss. The So Susan Lip Cushion (I think it’s been re-branded from Jelly Pong Pong) came in August’s Jolie Box, and as I am a bit of sucker for cute things, this was one of the first things I couldn’t wait to try out!
I was recently given the opportunity to sample some products from the Living Nature makeup range and must say I’m impressed! One of Living Nature’s best qualities is that they pride themselves on producing products which are made using 100% natural ingredients from the native plants of New Zealand.
I have mentioned the L’Oreal Rouge Caresse lipsticks in several posts – What’s In My Makeup Bag and July Favourites, and in all honesty they are definitely worth the mention! Initially I was excited by the prospect of the Revlon Lip Butters that the Rouge Caresse lipsticks went straight to the back of my mind.
This weekend I’m excited to say that I have purchased my first ever MAC lipstick! I’ve never considered MAC as a go to brand for lipsticks especially with brands such as L’Oreal, Revlon and Rimmel who have an extensive offering of lipsticks already. However lately I’ve come across a fair few reviews about them so in order to see if they live up to their hype, I decided to buy one and chose the shade ‘Cut A Caper’.
Lip balm is one of those essentials that every makeup bag needs. Lip balms can be glossy, others are tinted but the key is to keep lips hydrated and moisturised. I got this Figs and Rouge lip balm in April’s GlossyBox – The Nautral Box and have had it in my bag ever since!
