A round-up of my February buys!
I didn't do as much shopping in February as I usually do monthly, I'm currently saving up for a blackberry phone so I've been sadly limiting my spending. Hopefully it will be worth it in the end!:)
Cosmetic Purchases
L'Oreal Paris Lumi Magique Primer (£9.99) - I've been noticing recently my make up hasn't been staying as well and I look terrible when I come home from school, so I thought a good solution might be a primer to help my foundation and concealer last that little bit longer. I was drawn to this one as it claims to 'illuminate the skin', I'm a massive fan of the glowing and dewy skin look so I thought this primer would be my best bet. I've only used it for the first time today but so far I like it! Blends in easily, does brighten my skin up a fair bit and has a very smooth texture.
Gosh Velvet Touch Lipstick in 145 Shocking Coral (£6.49) - This lipstick gets me so excited for summer! It's a beautiful coral with strong undertones of red, perfect for me as I don't really suit strong orange corals. It's fairly moisturising and long lasting, and a reasonable price for such amazing pigmentation.
Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick in Vintage Pink (£6.29) - I think that this is my favourite out of all my cosmetic purchases in February. It's a beautiful pinky purple lipstick, very unique, I think it would be a hard colour to dupe. The 'moisture renew' part of the name is so spot on, one of the most moisturising lipsticks I've ever used! It tends to only leave a slight stain after eating and or drinking, however, I don't mind as it's one of those lip products you can just easily and quickly swipe back on.
Beauty UK Lip Vinyl in Pure Pacha (£2.99) - A beautiful bright fuchsia, it is very intensely pigmented and so can be a little bit tricky to apply. However, at £2.99 I'd definitely say it's a bargain. I think the sponge tip applicator can make application a bit difficult and so I would say a lip brush would make life much easier. It isn't particularly moisturising nor particularly drying. It lasted a good amount of time throughout eating and drinking.
Beauty UK Lip Lust in Date Night (£2.99) - For me this was the most disappointing purchase. It barely had any colour pigmentation and on the lips it's practically just clear lipgloss with tacky glitter particles. I'm not too cut up about it as the price is very cheap but I'm kicking myself for not realising that the 'Lip Lust' range is full of sparkles and glitter, not my style at all. I'll definitely just be sticking to the 'Lip Vinyl' range from now on.
