KATE ANNIVERSARY


RIMMEL LONDON

Kate Moss

15th Anniversary Edition Lipstick Collection!


Always the sucker for a good lippie if you're anything like me then you'll love this collection of
classic red and nude shades by Rimmel London by Kate Moss. Each is a similar yet different shade
of pure classic elegance and mature poise. Can you believe Kate has been an iconic face for Rimmel
since 2001? Wow!

The formula is a lovely smooth soft finish with a hint of shine that lasts! Believe me those swatches
(see images below) were not an easy feat to remove! 


To break it down as to how these mix of red and nude shades are actually different. Let me give you
my take on each shade. With my personal favourites being 'Rock N Roll Nude' and 'Retro Red'.

Rock N Roll Nude - This is your classy nude shade with pinky undertones. 
Retro Red - Your classic deep berry Autumn tone.
My Nude - Another classic nude shade with pinky undertones, but less than Rock N Roll Nude.
Muse Red - A middle toned classic red with orange undertones.
Boho Nude - This is your basic brown mid toned nude shade.
Idol Red - This bold red to me seems borderline orange. It's like a half orange half red mixed.

SWATCHES! - Left to right : Idol Red / Boho Nude / Muse Red / My Nude / Retro Red / Rock N' Roll Nude

SWATCHES! - Top to bottom : Idol Red / Boho Nude / Muse Red / My Nude / Retro Red / Rock N' Roll Nude

These and all Rimmel London products can be found and purchased Australia wide from Priceline,
Big W, Coles, Target, Woolies and Chemist Warehouse for current RRP $13.95 each.

Another pic, because everybody loves pretty makeup flatlays! :)
And... that rose gold casing though! Ooohh!

Which shade from this collection is your favourite?
Are you a red or nudes kind of lippie girl?

VIVID MATTE


MAYBELLINE!

VIVID MATTE LIQUID LIPSTICKS

SWATCHES & REVIEW!

My lipstick collection is by far the largest of all my makeup products. From satin and gloss,
sheer and matte in both solid and liquid formation. I love them all dearly. Lippie addiction is
very real and I am not ashamed to admit I have kind of a problem. I love to have all of the shades
available in each collection I own. The latest being these gorgeous matte beauties from Maybelline.

From their perfectly solid, stackable rectangular shapes, creamy smooth formula and strikingly
bold and confident shades, these have even gotten me questioning my previous hesitation towards
nude shades which I previously thought washed me out. Somehow Maybelline have got the balance
just right for my skin tone and the nudes from this collection actually work for me! I can hardly 
believe myself!

Shades include - (Top to Bottom)
Posessed Plum / Berry Boost / Fuchsia Ecstasy / Rebel Red / Orange Shot / Electric Pink / Nude
Flush / Nude Thrill

In terms of longevity these are pretty tough and last a few hours before waring away. The matte 
looks non drying and bold in pigment.  

See how the swatches look in real life!

These and all other Maybelline products can be found in your local Priceline, K-Mart, Coles, Big W,
Myer, Woolies, Terry White, Price Attack, Chemist Warehouse & National Pharmacy as well as online.

Some of my other most recent Maybelline product loves included below!

PROVOCALIPS


RIMMEL LONDON
PROVOCALIPS

SWATCHES & REVIEW!


Lipsticks have to be one of my biggest weaknesses. I have especially fallen in love with liquid lippies
over the past few years and have quite a few different varieties in my collection of all kinds of shades
and finishes. 

This two step collection glide on like buttery silk and together with the moisturising balm attached to
the other end of the doe foot applicator it keeps my lips feeling smooth and soft throughout the whole
day with the colour also lasting the distance. 


You gotta love when companies bring out a collection where there is always a shade to suit everyone.
I love these because there is such a great variety of shade suitable for both day and night. Special 
event or just slick on before going out to do the shopping!

From deep dark sexy berry and red tones, there is also my signature bright magenta pink as well as 
the very 'now' nude shades as well as an understated your lips only better barely there touch of pink.

Available in a total of 8 shades. I currently have these 6. :)


These liquid lipsticks are very affordable as well. You can pick these up currently on sale at Priceline
with 40% off at only $11.37! Also available to purchase at Big W, Coles, Woolworths, Chemist
Warehouse and Target.

Swatches below shades from left to right are -
Dare To Pink / Skinny Dipping / Make Your Move / Little Minx / Play With Fire / Not Guilty
Also available in "I'll Call You" & "Kiss Me You Fool" (Not Shown)

Which shade is your favourite?

NEW LIPSTICKS






~  RIMMEL LONDON  ~
Moisture Renew Sheer & Shine Lipsticks!


I love makeup and when new products come along it is very exciting and fun for myself and beauty
lovers alike. But when it comes to lipsticks, my weakness when it comes to makeup I get weak at the
knees. My lipstick draw in my makeup collection is so bright and colourful it makes even the most
dark and dreary mornings better and lifts my mood. Playing with shades, texture and different 
creative packing - I'm like a kid in a candy store!

These six brand new shades, each perfectly suitable year round in my opinion and each shade 
cleverly selected as the most popular and most worn classic hues world wide.
Starting from top left - Red-y Set, Go! / Spin All Spring / Woke Up Like This / Better & Brighter / 
Glow-Rious Pink / Pink Rules

This is the kind of selection of shades where everyone has their go-to. Mine being wearable pink.
Then there are those who always wear red or coral or nude. All are within this collection.

The shades are actually quite sheer with the pinks being especially subtle but still buildable if you are
after a bit more colour. My pout swatches below are coming up a bit brighter with the flash on. They
are almost like a tinted balm with all six shades containing a lovely hint of shimmer in them. Very
beautiful and recommended for that more natural I'm not wearing any makeup, makeup look.

Starting top left - Spin All Spring  / Better & Brighter / 
Glow-Rious Pink / Woke Up Like This / Pink Rules / Red-y Set, Go!

Left to right - Better & Brighter, Woke Up Like This, Glow-Rious Pink, Pink Rules, Red-y Set, Go!, 
Spin All Spring

I am loving the simple and feminine silver and pink casings. Totally my style and the colours
are truly beautiful and feel super smooth upon application.
These new Sheer & Shine lippies can be purchased from all the regular places where Rimmel 
London is normally found like Priceline, Big W, Woolies, Coles, Chemist Warehouse & Target.
RRP $13.95 each!

What do you think of this new collection of Rimmel London lippies?
Which shade is your favourite?

NEW FROM RIMMEL


NEW! 
FROM RIMMEL LONDON!




This clever little trio will save you so much space in your everyday makeup bag!
Instead of lugging three different products around, this 3 in 1 has it all together conveniently 
right here housed in this gorgeous gold trimmed plastic case.

From top to bottom, it starts with a lovely champagne highlighter to brighten the skin where the light
would naturally hit like the cheekbones, brow bone, across the top of the nose and I also like to use
 on the inner corners of my eyes to really open them up and this gives the illusion of larger eyes and a
more awake appearance.

In the centre is the contour/bronzing shade of a medium chocolate brown. I have found all of these 
shades great in terms of pigmentation. There aren't over the top making you look like a clown but
give just enough colour to make them easy to blend and also look natural on the skin whilst bringing
out your natural best! The bronzer is great for really giving some definition to your overall face and
slimming down any areas of concern.

Last but certainly not least is the universally loved coral peachy pink toned blush perfect for everyday
wear and when built upon can then take you into the night with a natural looking healthy flushed
appearance. This is best used on the apples of your cheeks. I like to use this between where I have
highlighted and contoured.

This new makeup must have is very affordable at just RRP $16.95 and can be found at Priceline,
Big W, K-Mart, Woolworths, Coles, Target and selected pharmacies.






This is an interesting, unique product I have not come across before now, but I think the idea is
very clever! Designed to wear either under or over lipstick to keep lips conditioned and prevent
drying. Especially great if you're into matte as these are often the most drying.

You can see more from the Kate Moss collection here. :)

With Winter nearing and the weather starting to chill, I have noticed my lips becoming more dry
especially in the wind we have been having lately! This has been great just to wear on it's own as
you would a lip balm when I am at home out in the yard with my kids. Being housed in the very
pretty white lipstick case with bubblegum pink swirly font, it feels a bit more fancy than just
your regular clear balm.

You can pick this one up right now at your local Priceline, Woolies, Coles, Target, K-Mart, Big W
and selected pharmacies for a reasonable RRP $9.95.




This radiant skin perfecting skin tint is lightly fragranced and provides light coverage over my mid
30's 'normal' skin. The light/medium shade is the perfect match to my light olive skin which is neither
oily nor dry. This product does include an SPF factor of 15 which works well for me for casual daily
wear. Also available in Medium/Dark for 30ml at RRP $13.95 at Priceline, Target, Coles, Big W,
K-Mart, Woolworths and selected pharmacies.

I enjoy wearing this on it's own, much as I would a tinted moisturiser or BB/CC cream for a more
natural day time look. If you enjoy light coverage over a heavy full face foundation or prefer to keep
it simple on weekends then this is the product for you. I feel like this would also perfectly suit those
just getting into makeup or don't like to wear makeup, however may need to for an event or such as
the result it gives is so natural whilst still smoothing out the skin and giving it a beautiful glow.




Have you tried any new makeup products lately?
Are you interested in any of these from Rimmel London?

NUDE LIPSTICKS


~ RIMMEL LONDON ~

NUDE

KATE MOSS LIPSTICK COLLECTION

 http://au.rimmellondon.com
Left to right! - 40, 42, 43, 45, 48 (Shop!)

Honestly, nude lipsticks have never been my thing. I am just naturally drawn to bright and vibrant
colours, however now that I am getting older and my style is going through a major change (E.g My
home decor has gone from pink everything to neutral tones of black, white, grey & silver) I have
come to realise that wearing brights when it comes to lipstick all of the time probably isn't always
appropriate.

I am delighted to have had the opportunity to try out this range by a makeup brand I know well and
love as I probably wouldn't have gone out and purchased these myself. However now that I have had
a good play around with these I am completely addicted to them and love the natural statement look
they give. Plus the range of shades are perfect for every occasion and there really is something for
everyone.

The shades are designed to suit fair, medium & dark skin tones. Let me explain a little of each one.

Swatches! :)

Shade #40
This is the lightest shade and designed to suit fair skin tones. Having naturally light skin myself 
although not fair I have found this shade to suit me quite well. It doesn't look too light or make me
appear washed out which I did fear at first.

Shade #42
This shade along with #43 & #45 are suited to medium skin tones which I feel like is more where I fit into and what would be most popular as it is in the middle. This colour is much more pink 
toned than the nude #40 which is almost skin colour which could almost match a very light 
foundation shade. Out of all, this is my favourite pick of the bunch.

Shade #43
Also suited to medium skin tones this more browner toned lipstick I feel like is great for contoured,
bronzy looks win a slight tan kiss to the skin. I feel like this shade really suits my dark brown hair's
roots I have going on at the moment! Reminds me of Kylie Jenner's lips for some reason!

Shade #45
The third shade for the medium toned skin type is my other favourite. This with it's pink with
purple under tones is completely my style. I love how subtle this is from my usual shocking hot pink
I usually reach for. It is just enough to make me look put together and grown up to go about my day 
do day life. This shade is really gorgeous!

Shade #48
This last shade for dark skin tones is really dark when it comes to lipsticks and I never wear this
colour as it's a little too extreme for me. However I can see myself wearing this for one of my 
Youtube videos as I like to keep my looks different and interesting for each one so this would be a
fun one to wear in an upcoming one just to see how it looks on camera. Who knows, it is kinda 
growing on me and again reminds me of another member of the Kardashian/Jenner clan, this time
Khloe! (I hardly ever watch the show btw, how many do they have now anyway? Yet somehow I 
know all the lip colours they wear...?) #makeupgeek This is a lovely chocolate brown with deep red 
under tones. For the bold & beautiful ones! 

Rimmel London Moisture Renew Transparent Lip Liner #001 (Shop!)
Here is a new and innovative product which I have had an interesting time playing with and
trying to figure out! This product is completely new to me, I have never before seen another
transparent lip liner. Am I the only one? It can be used to line your lips when you wear any
lipstick shade which I think is a great idea so you're not having to search around for the perfect
match! It helps keep lipstick from bleeding around the lips and onto the skin, contains shea butter
for added moisture unlike a lot of lip liners I have used in the past which can be quite drying. 
Lasts up the seven hours! RRP $12.50

How often do you go nude? ;)

BOE PROFESSIONAL


~  Boe Professional  ~

Makeup Basic Essential Recommendations!

 http://www.boeprofessional.com.au

Jumbo Eyeliner & Sharpener in 'Chocolate'
Over the past few years since I mastered the technique of applying liquid eyeliner to look half decent 
on my eyes I have rarely gone back into my drawer to reach for my neglected pencil liners as I don't 
find them as easy to apply. Most are either barely pigmented or you have to press much harder than I
care to do around my delicate eye area to even get any kind of effect and even then unless you try to 
smoke it out, it doesn't seem to look right. However this jumbo eyeliner has me going back and 
forward between the liquid and the pencil again because this one actually does what I want it to.

The formulation is soft enough to work with so I am not digging at my eye with a dark point. It is
still firm enough not to be messy and it smudges out like a dream. I have been wearing this as my
everyday liner for the day time and leaving the bold black liquid just for nights out or special 
occasions or events where a more dressy look is required.

Also available in 'Black'.

Big Kiss Lip Gloss in 'Glimmer'
I was a little surprised by the giant size of this gloss want initially. However I have found it to be a 
great applicator as it gives the perfect amount of product with just one swipe without having to go in
and out of the bottle several times to achieve ample quantity. 

The shade of this gloss is also a definite must have of mine as I just love having pink glossy lips!
My lips tend to look pretty lifeless nude so I am loving the vibrant tint this gloss has which I am
finding companies are doing more and more these days. The time of the barely there, clear glosses
are pretty much history! Bring on the bold and bright colours I say!

Other shades available include - Majestic, Crystelle & Manhattan.

3D Diamond Finish Lipstick in 'Princess'
This shade of perfect pink is probably my go-to shade no matter what the brand happens to be. I 
always reach for and am drawn to 'Barbie' pinks just like this one and you'll almost always find this
one in my handbag or makeup bag! 

The formula of this lippie is up there with the best! It's smooth and creamy and applies effortlessly.
The pigmentation as you can see by my swatch below also speaks of it's beautiful quality. There is a
pink of shimmer throughout which isn't hugely apparent when you're wearing it on your lips. For the
bargain price, I recommend check out Boe Professional's range of these 3D Diamond Lipsticks as 
their colour range consists of a brilliant array of must have basic shades including - Allure, Venus,
Mystique, Passion & Shiraz.

To make this lippie last all day it is recommended to apply a touch of Boe Professional's High
Definition Finishing Powder before applying which works a treat! You can catch my review on
this must have for your makeup bag here! :) 

Colour Pro Nail Enamel in 'Femme'
This dark berry shade screams Autumn/Winter teamed with jeans or leggings and over sized jumpers
and your favourite worn in boots. Even though I have rarely been seen without this shade on my
nails this past season, coming into Spring and Summer I can still see myself reaching for this as I
love wearing deep berry shades whenever I am wearing lighter clothing especially white which I have
been obsessed with lately and the contrast the two give is so chic, classy and to me just looks super
put together, even if I am so definitely not!

Other shades available include - Angelic, Belle, Lola, Jordy, Tuscany, Capella & Asteria.

You can find Boe Professional products including these and many more available to purchase
exclusively in Australia from Big W. Check out the whole range here!
