COLOUR ME HAPPY

I was pretty excited when Pantone announced not one, but two colours for 2016 and they're two colours that can so easily be integrated into our daily lives in the form of what we wear, down to decorating our living spaces. Rose Quartz and Serenity, two very calming and happy colours, can be worn with subtle colours such as White and Grey, as well as together. Here are some of my favourite picks in both colours including Sephora and Pantone's Colour of The Year Layer Lipstick - a match made in beauty heaven!

Rouge Volupte

I'm a huge fan of Yves Saint Laurent. In fact it's probably my favourite luxury brand! So I thought I'll do a review of two of my favourite lipsticks, the YSL Rouge Volupte Silky Sensual Radiant Lipstick in #003 Medium Beige and the YSL Rouge Volupte Shine in #016 Orange Impertinent.

The #003 Medium Beige is the perfect nude lipstick. It has more of a Brown tint than Pink that comes with many nude lipsticks. It's oh so very creamy but is more matte. It hardly has a shine. It lasts for a good 3 hours but I always do retouch it whenever I get a chance.

The #016 Orange Impertinent has a beautiful shimmer as it's from the Rouge Volupte Shine range. It's a beautiful Orange shade that also has a hint of Pink. It's the perfect shade for Spring and Summer and again, lasts for about 3 hours.

As I always have my lipsticks handy and retouch it when I need, I don't find the time that it lasts to be a problem. However, if you're after a lipstick that lasts a good amount of time, I wouldn't choose the YSL lipsticks.

If you do purchase these, let me know what you think!

Hello lovelies,

So I have been a big fan of Estee Lauder for a long time. I have been using a few of their products including the Double Wear, Stay-In-Place Flawless Wear concealer with SPF 10 and some of their pure colour lipsticks for years now so I thought I'll share my thoughts about these products with you!

I'm one of those people that have always had dark circles under their eyes and this concealer does wonders for just that. It's very lightweight but has great coverage so you don't need much of the product to banish those Panda eyes! I have used the concealer on an everyday basis and it lasts me a good 6 to 8 months. It also stays on all day, until you decide to remove it with make up remover or a cleanser. It also blends in smoothly to give you a very natural look.

The Pure Colour Long Lasting Lipstick in Candy (left) is the perfect lip colour for Summer. It has a medium Pink tone with a shimmer that lasts for a good few hours. I would recommend wearing it with a lip liner underneath to ensure that it stays on for longer without straying if needed, but it's not essential to do so. It's perfect for both day and night wear and its' creamy and hydrating effect is perfect if you have dry lips! The amazing smell of the lipstick is an added bonus.

The Pure Colour Long Lasting Lipstick in Rose Tea (right) has essentially the same staying power and texture as Candy however, the colour is Brown with a hint of Pink. It's perfect for everyday wear, for both night and day and will suit all skin tones. If you would like to give one of the Estee Lauder lipsticks a go but you're in doubt about which colour to choose, I would highly recommend Rose Tea as it is the perfect colour for all skin tones and all occasions.

Until next time my beauties!
