All About Bright & Bold Lips

Xmas only few days to go and I thought I might share some of my favourite bright lips colour to welcome the festive season.  Since I was a kid I have always hated red and bright colours and have always stick with neutral colours.  It's only from beginning of this year that I decided to come out from my comfort zone and begins to explore different colours. 
My little collection starting from left to right:
  1. MAC Amplified Lipstick - Impassioned
  2. Bobbi Brown Rich Lip Color SPF 12 - Old Hollywood Matt Finish
  3. Yves Rocher - No. 101 Framboise 
  4. Chanel Rouge Allure from Red Collection - No.  99 Pirate Matt Finish
  5. Illamasqua - Magnetism Matt Finish 
My first purchased will be MAC Amplified Lipstick in Impassioned.  It is a high pigmented lipstick and a creamy texture without leaving your lips dry and stay moisturised.  This is one of my favourite colour from MAC collection as the formula is quite pigmented, you only need one glide, it's a beautiful hot pink that suits everyone's skin tone.

Then we have Bobbi Brown Old Hollywood, a red chili colour when you need to add a little glamour into your make up look.  It is matt finish but moisturising at the same time and the plus for this product is that it has SPF 12.

Next will be Yves Rocher in Framboise, a beautiful raspberries colour that gives off that sweet satin look onto your lips.  This lipstick came together in one of Glossybox issue.  I love this colour when I am looking for something that is less bright or just adding a bit of colour when I feel lazy wearing any make-up.  However, the downside of this is that it has a strong perfume on the products so I only use them once in a while as I am quite sensitive when it comes to strong scents.

Okay Chanel has been one of my favourite brands since I was a teens and I have been using their perfumes for years.  I never really tried any of their lipsticks as mentioned above due to my sensitivity not only towards the scent but also towards some chemical reactions.  However, when I came across their Rouge Allure Red Collection I just couldn't resist myself for not trying them on.  So, I chose No. 99 in Pirate from the collection and I am absolutely in love with this.  I could go on for weeks just wearing this colour as it is not too bright yet not soft either and it's a perfect colour for all skin tone.  It comes in a matt finish but doesn't leave your lips dry and stay moisturised.  A must in anyone's make-up bag for sure, it's a bit pricey but you get what you pay for I would say ^^
Chanel Rouge Allure - No. 99 Pirate
Last but not least will be my favourite for this season from Illamasqua in Magnetism.  A/W 2012 is all about Oxblood and all that bright colours to lift up the dull and cold weather.  I came across the colour when I was browsing through new bold lip colour and I thought I might give it a try.  The result is I love love love this product!!!

So, do you have any favourite colours?!? 

 P.S I don't use any lip pencils in any of the pictures except for a bit of concealer in order to bring out the original colour. 

 Enjoy and have a lovely weekend ^^

October Purchased

Image
Can't believe that it's November already, Xmas is just around the corner and 2012 is nearly over.  So far October has been a fun and relaxing month for myself and I just want to share what I have bought and my current must have in my make up bag ^^  I have been wanting to try out Too Faced products and have been hearing the rave about it.  Don't get me wrong, I love my MAC, Coastal Scents and Bobbi Brown eyeshadows.  However, I felt that Too Faced Eye Palette is convenient if I am travelling or just going for a night out without having to bring so many different colours in one bag which is quite annoying sometimes.  So, my plan was only to buy one to try out but I ended up buying the whole range except the romantic look (arrghhh annoyed with myself sometimes).  I bought all palettes from Boots Piccadilly Circus apart from the Natural at Night range as it's sold out everywhere.  You can get them from Beautybay , beauty and hair website where you can get mostly every

One outfit + 3 different style of shoes

Day off and sun shines are something I couldn't asked for more.  I started off my day with a great workout at the gym, before heading out to meet up with a friend.  I decided to wear my new top that I bought from ZARA which is currently on sale.  I have never been a big fan of 'knitwear' because I always feel that knit material can look unflattering on me.  However, I decided to give it another try and to be very honest I am actually loving it.  The cut is flattering and I want to look very casual on my day off, therefore I mixed it with a pair of Jeans, flats and a hat that I received from my friend, Kate Michell.  I also decided to plait my hair because it was too hot and humid. Due to the unpredictable weather in London, I never forget to bring a cardigan just in case if it gets cold all of a sudden.  I love this outfit because I think it is very versatile as you can wear it from day to evening without looking too casual or too formal.  In addition, this outfit is
