November Favourites 2012

Hello,

Welcome to my beauty blog.

I thought that I would just begin with my November favourites, even though it is two weeks into December, but we all have to start somewhere, eh?

1. Rimmel’s Lasting Finish by Kate Moss

I have never really been a drugstore kinda girl, but after there being so much hype around this lipstick collection, I decided to give it a go. I bought the lasting finish in number 19, a nude pink.

The lipstick is rich, creamy and not drying in the slightest. It has a slight watermelon smell, (which I have a love/ hate relationship with), but it does last for up to 8hours.

This shade, gives the “my lips but better” look. Worn on its own, it looks really natural. It even makes my non-existent top lip fuller to some extent-not complaining!

I have dark pigmentation around my lips and this covers it up with no problems. If I want a bit more intensity, but still sticking with the ‘au natural’ look, I use a mac lip liner in ‘spice’ to achieve this.

Overall, I highly recommend. Every girl should have this in her handbag. I can’t wait to start trying other colours.

At £5.49 you cannot go wrong.

2. Nails Inc. Baker Street.

Now, I’m not really a nail polish fan. I’m boring. I stick to ‘Orly’s ‘Naughty’ nail polish all year around.

I decided to myself that I need to start branching out.

‘Baker Street’ is a recent buy. It was love at first sight. I adore its vibrancy, especially in these winter months. When it is just so dull outside and everyone has miserable faces on the train, looking down at my nails is somewhat exciting (sad, I know!).

The consistency is quite thin, yet two coats are enough. It becomes even more vibrant with a top coat.

I think that this colour will suit most skin tones.

3. Diorskin Poudre Shimmer all over face power in Amber Diamond

I am a highlighter addict. I love highlighters. I love how they liven up the dullest of skin tones (mine is extremely dull without any make-up).

Dior Amber Diamond does exactly that. It is one of the most talked about shimmer powders. I apply it to the top of my cheek bones, my brow bones and on my cupids bow. It leaves my face looking radiant and dewy. Perfect for winter months.

You can also use this product all over your face, but I wouldn’t recommend it, as I believe it will look a tad ‘disco ball’.

Retailing at £32.00, which is pricey but it will last you a long time.

There you go. My first blog post :)

I thought that I would keep my short, sweet and to the point. I hope you guys like it. More to come soon...
