Four Spring Lip Picks

Revlon Super lustrous Lip gloss in 21 Pink Crystals
This gives a nice peach gloss to the lips, despite the name being Pink. It also has gold glitter running through it but this isn't noticeable on the lips. It is quite sticky though so be warned! This is one of my Finish 5 by cinco items and you can find a more in depth review here.

Bourjois 3D Effect Lip gloss in 46 Rose Lyric
This is a long time favourite of mine, mainly because it tastes like Love Heart Sweets rather than of vanilla and mint. It's also only the tiniest bit sticky. There are tiny particles of glitter to enhance the glossiness or the '3D Effect.' The glitter isn't noticeable on the lips however, which is good.

Revlon Lip Butter in 050 Berry Smoothie
This is pretty much my go-to shade because it suits most make up looks. It's a reddish pink. It's also comfortable and moisturising to wear. I love the lip butters they are both sheer like a tinted lip balm and pigmented like a lipstick at the same time, though they are not know for being long lasting. This tastes and smells like vanilla but it's fairly subtle.

Clinque Chubby Stick in 06 Woppin Watermelon
This is moisturising, comfortable to wear and the light pink colour is subtle, being like a tinted lip Balm. It is the perfect texture being neither sticky, tacky or waxy. It also doesn't have a taste or smell which is great for those with allergies. It automatically twists up as well. For the full review and lip swatches see here.

Disappointing Beauty Products #2

Boots 17 Wild Metallic Cream Eye Shadow in Wild Nude £3.99 Boots
While I like 17's powder eye shadows this cream eye shadow doesn't make the cut. It's another example of a high street/drugstore brand manufacturing a cream eye shadow and failing (in my opinion the only high street brand that succeeded is Maybelline with their colour tattoos.)
It is is a good neutral colour. It is also dermatologically tested, fragrance free and cheap. The jar is a clear plastic rather than the MAC and Maybelline glass cream eye shadow pots, making it lighter and ideal for travel. Yet unfortunately all this cannot make up for the fact that it creases incredibly badly and wears off quickly.

Bourjois Effect 3D Lip Gloss in 01 Beige Elastic £5.99

I was on the hunt for a nude lip gloss and picked this up. I really like this formula, mainly for the taste (like sweets no vanilla thank goodness) although it is a little sticky. Unfortunately this look wasn't what I was aiming for, on the lips the colour was too silver and frosted for me.

Ecotools Bamboo Blush Brush £7.99
This will be a controversial opinion as I know Ecotools gets a lot of love for being cruelty free, vegan and affordable. However I found this brush too prickly against my skin. I also prefer the 'old style' blusher brushes where you swirl them around on the face.

Dr Organic Pomegranate Lip Balm currently £3.25 Holland and Barratt
This is moisturising but I hate the smell, it is a heavily perfumed rose meets cheap children's make up sort of smell. Dr Organic is a brand that's had good reviews and I still want to try their other lip balms and other products from this brand.
