Review: Kate Moss lasting perfection lipsticks.

Hello everyone,

 I haven't done a review in forever, not since this one in fact, so I thought it was high time I did! This post is going to be on some of my favourite lipsticks :) 

As you can see, I have three shades, and I bet you can guess which one I've had the longest! 

I love these lipsticks, for a start, I'm quite partial to a bit of Mossy (although I do think models are just clothes hangers I might add) so I think its fab that she developed the shades.  Also the formulation is spot on, quite matte but not intensely drying and they last hours. They also smell amazing, just like those cherry sweets! 

20.  110.  01.

I bought the two shades on the right about a week ago, so have been even more smitten with these lipsticks than ever! One thing that does annoy me is that they don't have names, I just love it when products are called something cute like `pink punch`, is that just me? 

Anyway! The pinkest colour is shade 20;

How pretty is it! I adore this colour, it's so vibrant but still really wearable (i've got it on now!) and I think this is the perfect summer lippie. It also reminds me of the blogger favourite `Candy yum yum` from MAC although perhaps not quite as neon. You can see me wearing this in an outfit post here :).

The other one I bought recently was 110; 

I don't really have any coral lipsticks so this was readily welcomed into my collection. It's just so lovely ! A lot more effortless that 20 I feel, and the best if you want attention to be more on your eyes. I think this would look so lovely with a simple white dress, tan sandals and gold eye makeup.

Lastly is the first one I bought from this range, the aptly numbered 01; 

This is one of my favorite reds, its that classic 50's,  vintage colour and I just love it. I'm forever pairing it with my winged liner to really get that look! 

These lipsticks are only £5.49 which is a total steal for the finish and wear time, I also bought mine in the recent `buy one get one half price` deal in Boots , so even more of a bargain! Next on my wish list are 107  and 103 :)

Have you tried these Lipsticks? What's your favourite shade?  

Collection: Barry M nail polish.

I, like a lot of people, love Barry M, and it will come as no surprise that I have now got quite a collection!

The reason I love these little colourful pots of joy, is the selection and price. I just think there fantastic and easily rival more expensive brands. I also love that they are always coming out with new collections, like the textured polishes and jelly high-shine (which I am dieing to try!)  

Pink Sapphire glitter-

This polish was a gift, and I love it; I probably wouldn't have chosen it myself, just because I already own a lot of glitter polishes, but I'm really glad I have it! I like to use this mainly as an accent nail, over any colour really, just to jazz it up a little. I like that it has different shaped glitter particles, in different colours, it makes it a bit more interesting that if it had one variation.

Hologram-



my picture really doesn't do this justice! Hologram is a gorgeous topcoat polish, which I think adds a lovely touch to my nails. I really like using a doting tool to add individual flecks in specific places as well, especially when outlining the edge of my nail or something!

(Barry M `holographic` over I have no idea what!)

Black crackle effect-

Honestly, I'm not the hugest fan of this polish, simply because I can never seem to get the effect to work for me! I like the idea and how it looks on other people, but I'm not sure its for me. One way I really want to try this is next Halloween over orange though!

Superdrug Xmas (!?)

I'm not really sure what this shade is called! but I love love love it. It was also a present around Christmas time, and on the side of the bottle, it simply says `superdrug Xmas` , but I think it was part of the space themed collection they had out around that time. As you can see from the bottle lid, it is a foil type polish (I think). It certainly applies as if it is, I literally use one coast and its perfect! I love the colour as well; its a greeny/ copper , which I've never seen before and am happy to have in my stash!

Mint green-

This has possibly the most boring name ever, I personally love polishes more when they have good names! However, I do really like this colour, its the perfect pastel blue/green, and I think a really good dupe for Essie's `mint candy apple`, and at a fraction of the price! I find with these polishes they don't chip much either, always a bonus!

Peach Melba-

Oh Peach Melba! what do I need to say about this colour? Every blogger in the world seems to love it, and with good reason. To me it is just the most perfect summer shade (A milky coral I would describe it as!)I love it and can't wait to have it on my talons again come summer!

Berry ice cream-

Spotted the theme yet? I love my pastels, and Berry ice cream is no exception! This is simply a lovely lilac, that I think looks lovely with an accent nail of topshop `Razzmatazz` The name is also really sweet :)

Red wine-

This shade has been on my nails all winter, I think its the most classic deep red just like red wine. I find I need a few coats to get the right opacity, but when it looks so lovely, who cares!

                                                                          Mushroom-

This is the last one on my list, (But hopefully not for long!) Mushroom is a gorgeous taupey brown, which I think has been my top autumn/ winter shade. Its going to be tucked away for now though, i need a splash of pastel colour on my nails!

Soo... that's it for now! Sadly, I'm having to break from blogging until Thursday,I have a french speaking assessment that I need to prepare for *yay*

 What shades do I need? whats your favourite Barry M colour?
