YSL Rouge Pur Couture Lipstick in 63 Noir Prima Donna


I was lucky enough to be given a gorgeous YSL Rouge Pur Couture Lipstick in Noir Prima Donna (no 63) from my blogger pal Rachel, what a totally gorgeous gem she is!

"Pure Colour, satiny Radience"

This 'new generation' lipstick from Yves Saint Laurent comes in a beautiful gold case which doubles as a mirror, how fabulous.  The colours are inspired by Monsier Saint Laurent's classic colour palette of red, fuchsia and orange and there are many shades to choose from.

There are even cola brown and white shades for customising and blending.  The lipstick itself has an spf of 15.


I have only worn it once so far so can't give a full review but the colour was definitely intense and easily buildable.  It felt soft on my lips and didn't seep in to the cracks even though my lips were particularly dry that day.

I absolutely love the deep colour, I have nothing like it, and the packaging is to die for.  Thank you Rach :-)


What do you think of the colour lovelies?

REVIEW | Mac Sheen Supreme Lipstick in Supreme Style with Swatches


Hi-diddley-ho-there!

I have just purchased a beautiful new Mac Sheen Supreme lipstick in Supreme Style (£14.50) and wanted to tell you all about it. 

I actually went to redeem a free lippy with my 6 empty MAC containers but I couldn't resist this beauty after trying it on.

Firstly, the packaging is lovely. Sleek and simple with a quiet click when you push on the lid to make sure it is on securely. Nobody wants a squashed lippy smeared all over the inside of their bag now do they? Yuk.

Now on to the colour.  I would describe it as a warm rosey coral pink. Mac describes it as 'frosted', however I would say the 'frosting' only adds a sheen to it.  Overall the colour is very natural and perfect for summer.

The pigmentation is what I expected from this lipstick, enough to cover the lips while still looking natural. You can easily make the colour deeper by adding on more of the product.

The formula is very moisturising. Shiny enough but definitely not glossy by look or feel.



Sheen Supreme lipsticks are described as combining the colour impact of lipstick with the shine sheen of a lipglass. Lightweight and non-sticky. I would say all of these are true for this lipstick and I absolutely love it. 

Another bonus is that Sheen Supreme lipsticks actually contain more product (3.6g) than regular Mac lipstsicks (3g).

I would say this lippy is perfect for anybody looking for a natural easy to wear lipstick this summer.  Or if like me you don't really like the sticky finish of lip gloss but still want a bit of a sheen.  If you are after stand out colour you may be better with a different shade and if you only like matt lipsticks this probably isn't for you.


What do you think gals? What are your favourite Mac lipsticks?

REVIEW | Maybelline Superstay 24 HR Colour Lipstick in 510 Red Passion with Swatches and Video







(Scroll to the bottom for video)

So this review is going to be quite short due to the fact that all I have for this Maybelline Superstay 24 hour Color lipstick is praise. It is without a doubt my holy grail lipstick.

I only have it in 510 Red Passion at the moment but I am definitely going to get every colour that suits me because it is so utterly amazing.  I bought it in boots for about £8.99 so I am not being paid to say this. I genuinely think that everyone should have this lipstick because of its amazingness.

The colour is rich and goes on very easily and with precision using the wand supplied.  After application wait around 20 seconds until it is dry, then apply the other side of the lipstick which holds the balm. That is is! And your lipstick will last for hours and hours. Obviously it depends on exactly what you are doing but I went to a wedding a few weeks ago and it lasted from 1pm until 10pm, including eating and drinking for quite a few hours of that. I couldn't believe it. You don't have to worry about it coming off on your clothes or on your teeth, cups of anything else. It really does last and last.

It does exactly what is claims to; no crumbling, no transferring and no smudging.

I don't know how it does it but it does...  Just go and get it and you will see!!
