Happy Wednesday Lovelies!
Today I thought I'd share with you a lipstick beauty. This lipstick is the Kat Von D one in shade Lovecraft. Something about this shade stood out to me as I was swatching away in Sephora. It's described as a matte mauve pink nude and is quite an unusual shade because it's a lovely pink that has such a gorgeous purple undertone. Even though it's a matte finish, I found it incredibly creamy. This studded kiss lipstick doesn't stick to any lip cracks at all and is actually very moisturising. The whole lipstick range is infused with Vitamin A, C and E, so what's better than a lipstick that delivers a vitamin hit too!
Overall I love that this shade can be worn everyday as it's so natural. I'll definitely be purchasing more Kat Von D lipsticks, so if you have any recommendations I would love to know?
Have you tried any of these lipsticks before?

Good Morning Lovelies!
It's Wednesday! And that means it's time for a midweek treat!
Lipsticks on the blog have been lacking lately but they certainly haven't in my life, so here comes a daily lipstick dose, because sharing really is caring!
When Tory Burch launched a cosmetic line a while ago I knew I had to test it out. My addiction to lipsticks definitely couldn't resist the gorgeous orange and gold lipstick packaging. It just looks so classy and sophisticated. Although a pretty pricey lipstick I decided to have a little treat and chose the shade 'Pas du Tout'. This is more of a pinky nude type lipstick. It is absolutely perfect for everyday use.
I've now had this lipstick for quite a while and what I've found is that although I liked it in the beginning, the love for this lipstick has grown and grown. It's a really handy lipstick, although the shade is not too strong, it is extremely useful and the sheer finish is just perfect for carrying out a natural makeup look. The little sheen which is delivered once applied wakes up this beautiful nude shade. It is incredibly moisturising and as someone who suffers from dry lips, this is certainly a bonus. This lipstick is definitely a little luxury and hidden gem.
It has a really gorgeous orange and vanilla flavour. The scent kind of reminds me of the Ole Henriksen truth to go wipes. It really is lovely when your lipstick tastes quite nice too!
Overall if you like an understated sheer/sheen lipstick, this lipstick will not disappoint, but if you're after a bit more colour for the winter months, another shade is probably best for you.
Do you love Tory Burch/ have you tried any of her cosmetics?

Good Morning Lovelies!
I hope you're having a good week so far! I've had a bit of an eventful week and ended up breaking a finger on my writing hand but luckily I can still type! And obviously lipsticks are my medicine!
So today is a Creme Brulee day! It's a Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter lipstick. I love the formula of these lipsticks as they are so so buttery and moisturising! Creme Brulee is more of a beige coloured nude. So if you find some nude lipsticks a bit too pink, this is perfect. As it applies, the buttery texture means the colour applies lightly and in a sheer way, so you don't have to worry about looking like you've kissed your concealer! It gives a light colour and is so natural, so if you've never tried a nude lipstick before this would be a great starter. When on the lips, it doesn't have the longest staying power, probably because it is more of a moisturising lipstick, but overall it's an easy wearing and smooth nude lipstick.
Have you tried this shade or any of the other Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butters?

Good day Lovehearts!
So my family recently came back from a trip to Japan. Just a little bit jealous that I couldn't go, but it meant that I got to hear some exciting stories and even got a few little treats on their return! This inspired me to loveheart it up a bit! (Yes that is loveheart sushi!)
So on this magical Saturday I got super excited when one of my MAC lipsticks happened to be called Japanese Maple! I couldn't quite go to Japan but a Japan inspired beauty product could come to me!
Japanese maple belongs to probably my favourite type of MAC lipsticks, yes it's a Cremesheen! Mmm
As you can see its a pretty nude shade! Perfect for the up and coming nude lips trend!
Being a Cremesheen means it's moisturising and kind to your lips leaving a beautiful shine!
My verdict on this shade: it's a pretty one! It's a lovely neutral tone, not overdone and with the tiniest bit of shimmer! It's lovely if you're looking for a nice nude/beige tone, simple and sophisticated for everyday use and it will match millions of outfits. As it is quite neutral it could potentially border on the too pale side, but that all depends on your skin tone and if you're a bold lipstick lover. It is super cute and the name is just adorable!
Have you tried Japanese Maple? or do you have a favourite nude shade lipstick?

There's just something about gloss! And there's definitely just something about YSL Gloss Volupte.
After my little orange lipstick addiction, I've toned it down a tad and I'm now all about the nude lips!
A little YSL number which I heart right now is Gloss Volupte in shade 20 Nude Carat. I could stare at it all day, it just looks so pretty with its glimmering and glistening glitter.
So it definitely is great in its box and on the outside but is it great on the inside?
Of course it is!
I just love the applicator in these glosses, it's lip shape is very unique and means the gloss goes on evenly and smoothly. Plus it's just like they're blowing kisses at you! All whilst applying the perfect amount of shimmer and sparkle! Magic
It's got a kind of fruity melon scent which makes it a little bit more sweeter! It leaves a beautiful all over shine perfect for beautiful natural nude lips and is not sticky like some lip glosses out there.
Obviously if you don't like the glossy shine lips then this is probably not for you, but I am partial to a bit of gloss and this gloss keeps moisture well and truly locked in! You can use these glosses alone or over the top of your normal lipsticks! So I just adore it!
YSL have many more shades of these glosses. I'm eyeing up some lovely rose and coral shades which would be perfect for spring!
Even though not overly sticky just beware of the weather at the moment when applying this, as these strong winds here in London may result in a sticky situation. (Hair stuck to your lip gloss kind of drama! Arghh!!!!)
I just want to own them all!
Have you tried these little beauties?
