Hauling - Fragrance Direct

Fragrance Direct was the first website I ever used to buy beauty products and it is still a firm favourite today. Whether you are looking for discontinued makeup items, salon hair products, or your favourite fragrance  fragrance direct has it all. And more. 

They currently have a huge selection of Maybelline Colour Sensational lipsticks to chose from. I really struggled to narrow it down to just the five. 

These lipsticks retail for £7.17 at Boots but can be purchased from Fragrance Direct for just £1.99. (here)

 540 Hollywood Red, 750, Choco Pop, 720 Drive Me Nuts

175 Raspberry Diamonds, 822 Rose Pearl

A huge favourite in the Lipstick and Beauty world at the moment is the Kate Moss for Rimmel range and Fragrance Direct as now stocking the Kate Moss lipsticks. I can't believe how restrained I was just getting the one but I am definitely going to order more. These retail at £5.49 and are also just £1.99 on Fragrance Direct. (here)

The Rimmel Moisture renew lipsticks (in the purple packaging) are one of my favourite formulas from the high street and at just 99p here (Usual price £6.29) I had to slip one of these in. 

 Kate Moss number 13, Moisture Renew 100 Dreamy

I have never tried the Revlon SuperStay Ultimate Liquid Lipsticks before so for £2.99 (here) instead of the usual £8.99 price tag I thought I would give it a go. I haven't given it a full test run yet but at the moment I am pretty on the fence.

I threw in a Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss in Pink Crystals because you simply can not have too many pinky nudey lip glosses. I literally wear them over everything. Again this was just 99p (here) instead of £6.99

Pink Crystals, Best Bubbly

Finally is possibly my favourite thing out of the entire haul. I couldn't wait to try this NYC Smooch Proof Lipstain out and I was not disappointed. From the sweet apple scent to the opaque finish it is just lovely and for just 99p (here) I would recommend everybody get their paws on this as soon as possible.

Forever Fuchsia

For individual reviews on any of these products please leave a comment below but I am almost certain this is not the last time you will be seeing some of them.

Wearing - Snob

Mac Snob was one of the first lipsticks I fell in love with. I loved the fact it wasn't your average pink. The purple undertones really appealed to me. I definitely do not wear this Lipstick as much as I should but it will probably always be one of my favourites. 

Lipstick: Mac - Snob

      For reference, I always apply some lip balm and a thin layer of either concealer or foundation to nude out the lip before putting on any lip colour.

Hauling - Illamasqua

I really didn't know what "label" to put this blog post under because I didn't purchase the things in this haul. In fact I was ridiculously lucky and won them.

Way back in December the lovely Charli from SBTCD held a competition to win an Illamasqua eye shadow palette and lipstick of your choice. To my complete and utter surprise I won and set about choosing my goodies. Unfortunately my eye shadow palette of choice was out of stock so Charli kindly let me chose two extra lipsticks to replace it.

I had already been told by a couple of people that I needed Maneater, a bright orange toned red, but after that I really struggled to decide on two other colours. 

After much pondering I settled on their new release "Magnetism" which I had seen on a couple of blogs and thought looked fabulous.

My final choice was a muted dirty pink nude in the form of Climax which I thought might be a fail safe colour to go for.

I am yet to have a real play with these beauties as I was waiting to photograph them so I now can not wait to smother them all over my lips and show off my posh new lipsticks. 

Illamasqua lipsticks cost £16.50 and can be purchased here
