Lip Lover

I have to admit that I am not usually one to be drawn to Lancome products; I've always thought that they were on the 'older ladies' scale of the high end makeup and skin care brand. However, this little beauty appeared in my christmas stocking (courtesy of my mother) and I think I may have fallen in love slightly. It is called the Lip Lover set and contains three lip glosses in the shades 'Rose Attrape-Coer' (a pretty peachy pink colour), 'Lip Lover' (a mid-tone rosey pink) and 'Framboise Etoile' (a pink toned red). These glosses are a hybrid of a lip balm, lip gloss and lipstick and I have to say that they really do step up to those claims.

L-R Framboise Etoile, Lip Lover & Rose Attrape-Coer

When on your lips, these lipglosses feel really smooth and nourishing and not too sticky like some others out there so they feel comfortable to wear on a daily basis. Although I love this time of year, chapped lips seems to be an issue for me however these smooth out my lips with no trouble whatsoever - it's almost like these can photoshop your lips haha...

Masquerade Ball

Masquerade Ball

So last Saturday I attended an event at my school known as the Masquerade Ball. It’s basically the majority of the sixth form all under one roof for a sit-down, three course meal and then having a bit of dance afterwards. Despite it being a masquerade ball, no one really kept their ‘identity’ a secret for more than two minutes… (It goes without saying, the mask wearing was rather scarce). Everyone seemed to put in a lot of effort in to their makeup, hair and outfits and needless to say I was one of those girls that did… yup that’s right, a whole 3 hours’ worth of preparation went in to one evening – so I thought it would be a pitty not to have my first post dedicated to the evening.

  I’m the (small) girl standing on the left hand side:

-          Dress: Boohoo.com – petite Candice side split dress in Black (the split isn’t really visible in the picture, sorry)

-          Shoes: Newlook – Maroon wedges

-      Mask: honestly i got it from eBay for around the £1.50 mark.

  I matched the maroon wedges with a dark red lip by using the   L’Oreal L’Extrordinaire by Color Riche lip gloss in Ruby        Opera 304 and then layered a tiny ammount of the Rimmel  Apocalips Lip Lacquer in the shade Eclipse to give it a slightly  vampier look.

Sorry for the really posey pictures but you get the idea haha… Hope you’re all having a nice day
