Tips for Long Lasting Lipstick!

Hi Beauties!

I hope you're all doing well. Today, I thought I would share some tips on how to get the longest wear out of your lipstick. And yes, I went with a bold, red lip just so you could see!

Check out my video, or read the steps down below :)

Step 1: LINER! Make sure you use a liner that is a few shades darker/lighter than your lipstick of choice. To get the best shape on your cupid's bow, draw an X from one point and drag it towards the middle of your upper lip (it's shown in the video) and do the same on the other point. Mark out the bottom of your lower lip and then outline the rest of your lips.

Step 2: Fill in parts of your lips with lip liner where lipstick often wears off i.e. corners of mouth.

Step 3: Apply a smooth and creamy lip product - I love the Revlon Matte Balms! Keep this layer light.

Step 4: Using a single ply of tissue paper, place the sheet over your lips. Take a translucent setting powder such as the Makeup Forever HD Powder and dust it on top of your lips (through the paper).

Step 5: Apply the second coat of lipstick.

Step 6: Clean up any areas you may have made mistakes!

Step 7: Do the awkward "finger in mouth pull-out" to get rid of any lipstick that may get on your teeth!

And....that's it!

Enjoy a lip look that will last ALL night.

Love,

June Favourites 2014!

Hello everyone!

I know it's been a while but here are my favourites for the month of June.

If you're interested in reading, do take a look below! Otherwise, the video will contain all the info you need :) 

L'oreal Silky Sheer Face Sunscreen SPF 50
This stuff is seriously good. It hardly feels like I have any sunscreen on at all when I apply it! It's completely non-greasy which was the main attraction for me.


Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer
I have officially fallen back in love with this moisturizer! It does the job well and the bonus is the SPF 15 that Aveeno snuck in there. When I put this on, the high school days just come flashing back...

Maybelline Fit Me Concealer in "Sand Sable"
The colour is working REALLY well for me! Sometimes I will use this to spot conceal and then set with a powder. It's got great coverage that lasts all day...what more can you ask for?

Laneige BB Cushion in "Medium"
I think I found my favourite BB cream of all time. I'm not even joking! I've seen such a difference in my skin when I use this lightweight formula. My skin appears flawless without looking like I'm wearing any makeup at all! It's high-time that I get to Target to buy the full size.

Revlon Matte Blush "Blushing Berry"
I was digging through my blushes and found this barely touched. I remember not liking this blush because it wasn't pigmented enough but now, I think I've developed a quiet appreciation for it. The neutrality of the blush is VERY appealing. I don't have to worry about colours clashing or over-doing my blush. It's a great everyday shade!

Maybelline Volume Express Pumped Up! Colossal Mascara
When they say Pumped Up, they mean PUMPED UP. This mascara boasts mega volume and I'm inclined to believe it. I love the shape of the brush and the way it applies. The formula is not too wet for my pathetic lashes, and it makes the most of what I've got. Go Maybelline!

Fujifilm Instax Mini 8
*Drum roll please...* I am in LOVE with this instant camera. Its cute, functional and oh-so-hipster. Not that I'm into that hipster thing. But I do love that the photos print out instantly. It's got this vintage feel that I cannot help but love. Definitely looking forward to making a photo-collage/wall thing for my room with this!

Thanks for reading!

Love,

jane
