Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick in Coral Queen

Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick in Coral Queen no. 620 - Boots (£6.29)
Left - applied straight from the bullet // Right - with clear lipgloss

I've had this lipstick for a while and never really gave it much attention as my skin is normally too pale for bright colours like this... it looks almost NEON ORANGE in the packaging and when applied from the bullet it's a little less scary but still very bright. Personally I prefer it with a clear lipgloss over the top to sort of neutralise the brightness of the colour. I absolutely love corals so this will be perfect in the coming summer months! 

What I like about the Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipsticks is that they don't dry my lips. I find that many lipsticks emphasise the dryness and generally don't look very nice, but the moisturising formula works very well for me. The lipstick has average staying on power, just like any other lipstick, but re-applying doesn't bother me granted the lipstick is a nice colour. I can't stress how good the formula is and I'm hopefully going to get more of these in the near future, and at £6.29 a pop it's not exactly going to break the bank! 

What's In My Bag

I know I haven't blogged ... since March. As pathetic an excuse as it may be I was busy with my exams, then I went on holiday and here I am! At first I was really confident about my exams but now I'm really unsure and genuinely dreading getting my results on the 4th of August. 
Decided to do one of these what's in my bag posts because I always see them, and I actually find it quite interesting to see what people carry in their bags! I wouldn't say that i carry an insane amount of stuff around with me, because frankly my shoulders get really sore after about 2 minutes. For me it's only the necessities really!

Tapestry Satchel - River Island

I have fallen in love with this bag at first sight- the fabric is fab, it's roomy and the long strap just makes it perfect!

Clockwise: 

Make-up Bag- Primark

I'm quite a sucker for anything floral... so i had to have this. It's very Cath Kindson-esque and was around £1.50- BARGAIN. It's easy-peasy to clean it so it suits its' role as a make-up bag perfectly! I don't carry the same make-up with me everyday, it's quite logical that I'd only be taking the things that I'm wearing at the time...

Phone - Blackberry Bold
I have upgraded to this from an iPhone despite being told not to by an amount of people. To be honest I prefer it to the iPhone. It's more compact and it's 500x easier to type. 


Sennheiser Earphones

Always carry these with me and I don't imagine using any other type of earphones. The quality of sound is by far better than with any other earphones I used (and trust I've used plenty!).


Paul's Boutique Purse 
I have sworn to never get anything by Paul's Boutique - I find most of the things extremely tacky and overpriced. Since my last purse broke, I knew a replacement had to be found ASAP... I spotted this and felt inclined to buy it because of the floral design-told ya I was a sucker for florals!Set me back by about £30 but I think it was worth it! 

Glasses

You probably wouldn't guess but I have quite poor eyesight and need to wear glasses, boo! These are my fancy D&G ones. Absolutely love them!

Sunglasses

Definitely not as fancy as my glasses, but these were another Primark bargain- got them for a mere £1! They are quite flattering and I've seen very similar ones at other shops! They have them in a couple of different colours and patterns (eg. pink, black, mint, red floral etc.) 

What do you carry in your bag?


P.S If you haven't yet noticed I changed my lay-out about a bit because I thought it got a bit messy. xx

Red Hair, Florals and Peter Pan Collar

I have decided to plunge into waters of change, by that I mean changing the colour of my hair. I said goodbye to my light locks and went dark! I genuinely wasn't planning on having it this colour (actually the photos don't show the colour well, it's a pinky red). I'm getting it re-dyed tomorrow because I had no intention in having it so bright, I was thinking more like a muted brown...

On the side not the Maybelline Colossal 100% Black Mascara is absolutely brilliant, it volumized my lashes and lengthens them. So happy with this one! I know I have blogged very little, if at all, in the past 2 months but I have been extremely busy in the run-up to my exams which begin at the end of April. I'm literally so stressed out and there's so much pressure to do well. I hardly have any time for myself and shop therefore a lack of post, yes I know, typical excuses of a blogger.

Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick : Pink Blush

I noticed this little gem at a special price of £3.99 at Boots the other day and decided to pick it up. The colour that I was most interested in (amongst others) was Pink Blush which is a lovely blue toned pink (kind of reminds me of the Lady Gaga lippie but slightly darker). It was nearly sold out at my local Boots so I'm chuffed I managed to pick up the second last one or so.



L-R : Swatched heavily, swatched lightly


I didn't find this lipstick either drying or moisturing. It's not matte, it's not pearly. It has some shimmer in it (can be seen in some lighting) but when on the lips the shimmer is gone. So we could say it's technically matte. It lasts quite a fair bit as well - I put it on before napping during the day and 4hrs late I woke and it was still there. Considering that I twist and turn like mad when I sleep this it pretty damn good!
The colour is wearable for the day as well as night because you can either wear it more sheer and build it up for a bold statement lip.

I think that for £3.99 you can't go wrong with this little beauty.
