L'oreal Glam Shine Stain Splash Review ♥

I have been 100% obsessed with the new L'Oreal Glam Shine Stain Splash in the shade 'lolita' for the past few weeks, it literally has not budged from my lips for 2 weeks.




Loyalty's go to Fleur for this picture, the packaging is so pretty but a murder to photo unless you have a very expensive camera which un-fortunately I do not have :(

It is the perfect mix between balm, stain, gloss and lipstick. It's a 4 in 1 product :D

The lastability (if that's a word) of the product is amazing, it stays on well up to 6 hours with no reapplication including the shine and the colour is beautiful and easily wearable for everyday. The product is not drying like a stain (which was a worry as lip stains do tend to be verrry drying, but lately they do seem to be getting more and more moisturising on the market). I just love this product, it's so easy and quick to throw on for college and gives the effect of a perfectly applied lipstick without the chore of applying a lipstick. The texture is very gel based I feel and goes on very thin and watery, but develops to more of a gloss texture, that can go slightly sticky after a few hours but a quick coat of a clear balm or another layer of the product sorts it right out.
The packaging is also to die for :)

A down side is that the colour range is not ideal, it does have a fair few colours but there not the most appropriate they're more orange/tangerine or purple based colours rather than pinks, although they're are some nice pinky shades in the collection they seem very similar.

 

The price is £7.99, which is well worth it as they're raved as a exact dupe for the YSL glossy stains which retail at over £25!!!

I honestly love this product it gives the lips everything you would want from a product, the colour pay off of a lipstick, the shine of a gloss, moisturising like a balm and stains the lips slightly for a rich deep colour!! It's perfecto for those mornings you want to look glamorous in less than 20 minutes!


L'Oreal products are currently on a 3 for 2 offer at Boots so be sure to check that out here

(Late) February Favourites ♥

Hello, it's been a while I know and im sooo sorry but it's been a hectic few week :( 

 

♥

 

February was such a quick month it felt like it was march before February even began but I guess it's one more month towards summer eyy?:)

 

NEVER FEAR FEB FAVES ARE HERE!!!

 

1. My first favourite is a Bath/shower cream from the brand 'Creightons' I've loved this bath cream for months now and I posted it on instagram monttthhhsss ago, but this month I discovered a new scent. Cherry and Wild fig, I am a complete and utter cherry fanatic and buy almost anything with the word in the title so when I saw this when stocking up on the heavenly buttery toffee gorgeousness that is the 'vanilla and macadamia cocoon' I had to buy it. The price is sooo reasonable and I love it soooo much. If I could make a perfume with any scent in the world it would 100% be vanilla and macadamia. Words cannot describe my love for this scent.

 

2. This month I purchased the infamous NAKED 2 PALETTE! don't ask why it took so long for me too buy it because I honestly don't know. But im soo glad I did! It is soo beautiful and luxurious. My favourite colour is 100% Tease I love purple on my eyes, and this colour is just perfect for the crease mixed with a little bit of snakebite. It's just a heavenly combination. I just love it. And bootycall is the perfect everyday colour just to throw on to give your eyes a bit of life.

 

 

 

 

4. If your not a fan of real techniques brushes your crazy! This month I purchased the big fluffy cotton candy Powder brush. It's beautiful and so big that you can literally apply powder to your whole face in one sweep. It's so soft and dense and just impeccable quality like all the Real Techniques brushes. It's fabulous. And I've really fallen in love with the blush brush as well, amazing for highlighting, blush and bronzer - multi purpose :)

 

 

5. Garnier recently brought out a range of moisturisers based on all different skin types. I saw the advert everywhere and my skin has been growing in oiliness the past month so I decided to try out the oily/combination moisturizer it was only £3.99 in my local Superdrug so it wasn't like I was losing much if it wasn't good. I got home and tried it out and it was brilliant, it has a gel/primer texture and is really nicely moisturising and lightly scented. I'm really enjoying it. I love gel moisturizers so it was a nice surprise to find it had a gel like consistency. I'm also using it as my primer at the moment and it's working really nicely aswell. I just think it's a brilliant product for the price. I haven't tried the other formulations but I've heard good things about them.

 

 Tell me if you've tried any and did you like the consistency?

 

 

 6. Bit of a random one but this month I've literally not budged from my Converse, you can't really go wrong with converse and I think they're really flattering. I don't know why but I never wore them for months and then recently have just been wearing them to death. I got some new black ones last week, as my old ones are pretty battered now.

 

 

 

 7. This month has been a very much 1D obsessed month, with the tour starting and tour video's being uploaded I've literally spent all my spare time watching there tour.

 

I ♥ One Direction - Guilty :)

 

 

Hope you enjoyed my first monthly favourites!

 

See you soon
