YSL Rouge Pur Couture Review...

I was given this lipstick as a birthday present from my sister this year and boy did she do well. I think I must have squealed in excitement when I saw the gold packaging. Everything about it spells a little glimpse of luxury in one tiny little golden stick. It feels heavy in weight in your hand and the motif crafted into the lipstick just make me sightly too happy for it to be normal!

The lipstick itself  is so creamy in application that you know the packaging is not a wolf in sheep's clothing. The red is deep and screams glamour giving an intense timeless red lip. I have been applying this over a red lip liner just to give it some staying power. I feel confident eating and drinking with this on as it does last and not smudge all over your mouth which with something so creamy you would think it would.

I don't have any other YSL lipsticks although i'm always looking at them on counter. Have you tried or are you lusting over a YSL treasure? Follow my blog with Bloglovin

Estee lauder Stay-in-place eyeshadow base review....

Add caption

As you can see I have made a big dent into this, I used it every time I wear eyeshadow which is most days. My eyeshadow ALWAYS creases and I just can't seem to make it last through the day. I purchased this form double wear range after running out of the Urban Decay primer potion as it is hard to buy in the shops so deiced to try something else.

I like how this works almost as a concealer for you eyelids and cancels out any discoloration.You only get 7ml compared to 11ml you get with Urban Decay  . The packaging feel nice and expensive as I always like things that come in glass packaging maybe that's just me.

I apply this with my finger as I find it easiest although you may prefer a brush. I have had it for about 5 months now and have only noticed now that it is starting to dry out. While it is an okay primer, due to my oily lids it still doesn't keep my eyeshadow from creasing although I'm sure it would work on those of you who do not have this problem.  It retails for £14 which is the same as the Urban decay.

 I am still on the search of a primer that really keep my eyesahdow in place and believe that there may be better ones out there for me. I am tempted to try the Nars one next.

Any suggestions?

Laying good foundations..

I never seem to be completely happy with my foundation.I feel I am not alone on this. Many a time have I looked at other peoples skin wondering how they get such a flawless dewey glow. One person who also has it sport on is Milly from Made in Chelsea, whom my British followers will know. For me coverage is still highly important yet I want it to look natural and dewey. Maybe this is just something that is not achievable? Here are the latest offerings from three different brands which have been circling the blogs and catching my eye. what they claim to do;

Rimmel wake me up- " instantly reawakens skin with a healthy, radiant glow. The light, smooth texture glides on easily to give a 100% pore-less and flawless complexion. Staying put for up to 10 hours and giving you a natural, medium to full coverage." (Rimmel website) £8.99

Benefit Hello Flawless - " Our new oil-free brightening liquid foundation builds from light to medium coverage for a natural complexion you can believe in. It’s you…just more luminous & healthy looking. " (Benefit website) £24.50

L'oreal Lumi Magique-Lumi Magique helps give instant skin radiance. You will be glowing inside and out.
Light texture, let's skin breathe with 24 hours of hydration" (L'oreal website) £10.99 

From comparing the claims made my next purchase will be defiantly Rimmel wake me up foundation. It seems to offer good coverage with a dewey finish and good staying power. That's without looking at the price which is also unbelievably good if it delivers!


Have any of you tired any of these foundations what did you think?
