#28 Days of Kisses *Day 13 Lipstick Tag

Hey My beauties how are you all doing today :) 
Well todays post has to be on a romantic shade seeing as its Valentines tomorrow :) 
Are you all looking forward to it??? 
If some of you are shouting no to me well that means one thing!!!!
The right person as yet to come to you but that shouldnt stop you taking advantage of the day.  Organise a meet up with you other friends who have nothing planned and go out and spend the evening together be it bowling cinema etc it will be fun.  Either way do not under any circumstances get down in the dumps on the day after all you have plenty of them to celebrate in the future with that right person so thats something to look forward to.  For the ones who have luckily found the right person have fun no matter what you have planned.  
Anyways back to my lips of the day as i said above this lippy is well suited for tomorrow even for your single ladies out there this will surely get your noticed ;)  Not only is it bright and cheerful and oh so fabulous its so so affordable to 
This is the most Romantic attract lipstick out of the essential line from e.l.f Cosmetics aka Eyes Lips Face in my eyes of course :) 
This fantastic lipstick only costs £1.50 on the UK site 
This is an unbelievable price for what you get from this lipstick.  
Ok the Packaging isnt exactly what you call lovely or anything but sure what about it its not like we are paying for that when we are buying it hehe and ok some of the lipsticks do break if you put a little too much pressure on it but as long as you store them in a cool place and not have them in your pocket your away in a hack :) :) 
What you are getting from these lipsticks is unbelievable pigmentation so much so that literally one coat would do especially with this shade 
You are also getting unbelievable moisture from these again especially from this lipstick as it is 100% matte 
You are also getting a really good wear out of them at least 3 to 4 hours depending on the shade before reapplying 
The formula is very creamy and that is why some of these lipsticks tend to break if they are in any heat whatsoever.  I have quite a few shades and at least half of the broke on me but thats easily fixed by depotting them and in fact I find it so much handier with them been depotted :) 
Let me go ahead and show you this amazing shade 
Now this bright red will not be every ones cup of tea but you can wear it how you want it either a light coat or heavy choice is yourself wither way it looks amazing :) 
The one thing I have to say is you will surely need a lip liner with this little beauty because it is so creamy it will bleed on you if you do not wear one.  If you do not wish to use a liner there is always a transparent lip primer which will help too 
In the picture below I have applied the lipstick without a a lip liner or primer just so you see the true beauty of this lipstick on its own. 
Bammmmm A True Bright Red :) :) 
I love it :) 
So thats my lips of the day!!!! Whats yours :) 
Until tomorrows post
Keep safe and happy and healthy and enjoy the day no matter what you are doing for the day and night

    e.l.f Natural Radiance Blusher Review

    e.l.f states:  Exquisite, delicate, pigment  that makes cheeks radiant combined with a healthy-looking glow.  Infused with texturizing agents, skin feels smooth and pores are minimised.

    Imagine thinking back some of these blushers were some of the first products i bought from eyeslipsface.co.uk  i got these for £1.50/$1/€1.70 each.  There are 6 shades available i have 5 out of that 6 dont ask my why but i intend on getting the 6th which is "Flushed" that is in fact one of my favourites and i hit pan with the last one so cant even show you but i promise will update later :) 
    The Packaging 
    Starting from the top left "Shy, Glow, Bronzed, coy & Innocence" 
    I Know what your thinking wow it looks cheap right??? well you do have to admit it IS cheap for these blushes........you are getting .07oz(2g) of blush in this product....Yes it is small but believe me a little goes a long way........one thing i find annoying with these is the lid......alot of people have asked on a regular basis how to open these......I remember the first time i bought these i broke one trying to open it i took the lid clean off another blushes it was a mess but then i realised how to open them and i was happy again......Its actually quite easy i have made a video on these blushes (Please keep in mind its a no make up day lol and im taping from my webcam in which i have explained i hate doing as the lighting and swatches are not right) if you want to have a look  CLICK HERE on this i show you how to open them :)..........But it isnt really that complicated to open you just slide the lid up and BAM its open :) :) if it is stuck hold it over the steam of the kettle for a few seconds and it should work........another thing too is that if you have an empty palette case you can take the blushes out of the little containers and put them altogether in the empty palette case.....
    The Product/Shades 

    "Shy"
    Shy:  This is a Bubble gum baby pink shade with a slight silver shimmer to it......Very Very pigmented so beware girls....And i do have to add this is a little chalky and powdery but can you really complain for the price....this is grand for anyone with fair skin who just want an everyday blush but this wouldnt work out well for the anyone with a tanned or darker skin tone this would be more of a highlight to them .......in all it is pretty but if your looking for something more noticable this isnt the shade for you 

    "Glow"
    Glow:  This is a beautiful Coral/peachy shade with s wee bit of gold shimmer....this is one of my favourites for sure....and it does live to its name it gives you a beautiful natural glow to your cheeks.....this one is a little more pigmented than "Shy" in fact a little goes a long way.  Again this is a little powdery in fact they all are but workable........

    "Bronzed"

    Bronzed:  This is a lovely everyday bronzer.....but you could also use this as a blush if you are tanned if you are darker this could be a highlight.......This has lovely little gold sparkle to it which makes you skin have that toned sown sunkissed glow.....But i do warn you use with is a light hand girls as it can make your face look dirty if you use too much......

    "Coy"

    Coy:  This is definately a winter blush......This is a Lovely mauve/Purley/pink with a light golden shimmer.....It gives you a beautiful natural blushed glow especially for the winter......again this wouldnt work well for anyone who is very fair as it quite pigmented....anyone with a medium toned skin tone this is perfect for......
    "Innocence"
    Innocence:  This is extremely light girls its a very pale pink and also matte......its too pale for me.....i would use this as a highlight for the inner corner of my eyes but as its matte it wouldnt even do for a top of the cheek bones highlight........This would be more suitable for my 13 year old sister to be honest at least she wont over do her blush with this shade........If you are super super pale you might make use of this :)  

    Swatches
    Swatches in normal light of "Shy, Glow, Bronzed, Coy & Innocence"  
    Swatches in Sunlight of "Shy, Glow, Bronzed, Coy & Innocence" 
    Swatches with flash of camera of "Shy, Glow, Bronzed, Coy & Innocence" 
    My overall opinion 
    Ok There is a few faults with these blushers for example they can be chalky and powdery and can make a wee mess, they are also fairly small, also you do find that it can wear off and you need to top up during the day but they are only £1.50 and i am not going to complain about that.......I was pleasantly surprised with the pigmentation of these blushers......These are a perfect go for blush for during the day they are certainly not a going out blusher.......they are also perfect for carrying in your handbag because they are so small........the ultimate question is would i purchase them again ? I have and i will only certain shades though my shades for sure is ""Shy, Glow Bronzed and Flushed" for sure :) :) :) 
    They certainly are no way like the Studio Blushes but they are usable......:) :) 

    Well thats it from my everyone i hope you enjoyed my review and if there is any questions please ask away and please leave a comment i love hearing what you think!!!!!!!!

    Take Care of yourself 
    until next time 
    love
