Lipstick mix…

 

Check out my wonky front teeth ;)
Barry M: Palest lavender
Topshop: Brighton rock

I bought Barry M ‘palest lavender’ the other week basically just because I fancied trying out a purple lipstick because I thought it might me a nice contrast with my hair…& to be honest, it doesn’t look all that great on me on it’s own as you can see. lol As Lauren put it, you end up looking like a Titanic victim! lol

So after a little while of deciding how to wear it/what to do with it, I finally found it’s perfect ‘lipstick partner’ in Topshop ‘Brighton rock’. Layered together they make the most perfect violet pink!

Also, just a quick note…HOW FREAKING HARD IS IT TO TAKE DECENT ‘LIP’ PICTURES?!?!?!?! FML! Kudos to all you beauty bloggers who make it look a breeze because it most certainly is not! ahhaa!

Barry M peach lip paint…

Barry M lip paint: 54 Peach
Gosh velvet touch lipstick: 134 Darling

A little bit of a ‘different’ post for me really. I know I said a little while ago that I wanted to make my blog into a little more than just outfits & so it kind of makes sense, being a make-up artist & all, to start up doing beauty/cosmetics posts again, it seems like the most obvious thing to do especially as I want to get back into doing my make-up artist stuff & I feel a little stupid having ‘make-up’ in my blog name when I never post about it, haha.

Anyway, I picked up Peach lip paint the other week on a bit of a whim really. (I have become a little obsessed with orange at the moment so my only proper excuse for buying it is because I liked the colour.) When I first tried it out I was really shocked at how orange it actually was on my lips! Which would be great for a night out or something, but not for my kind of ‘everyday’ make-up. I have been toning down the neon orangyness with a layer of GOSH Darling lipstick over the top which turns it into more of a ‘soft’ peachy/orange which is perfect for my ‘every day’ face. It’s also quite matte so it dried my lips out a little however a little bit of blistex sorted that out, no problem!

I know I keep going on but I really like how ‘peach’ looks against my hair, I wasn’t sure if it would be too much orange but I think it looks sweet! ^_^
