My New Love: LIPSTICKS

Hello ladies!! I know I said next post would be Cheddar Gorge but I want to, on Fridays, do a make up post!! So Fridays are for make up kiddies!!

Today I will be talking about lipsticks! I only have 9 right now, but I think I have bought three in three weeks (might buy another one next week to make it an even ten, 9 doesn't sit right with me ;D ). My main love at the moment is MUA lipsticks!! I love MUA (Make Up Academy) stuff, and I said to myself one day, Kitty, you are gonna collect everything MUA that you will use!! SO I started with the lipsticks, of which I now own four!! Here is a picture of all my lipsticks firstly:

MUA lipsticks on the left, NYC lipstick in the middle, Avon lipsticks then Clinque lipsticks

If I count my GOSH lipbalm I could probably make it ten haha!! So here is the line up of my lipsticks!!

MUA Lipstick Shade 2

This is one of my darker nudey shades, one I bought to match my GOSH lipbalm colour in fact. I would call this colour a plummy pink colour and I love it, I think I swatched it on my lips recently but I am not sure! If you do want swatches please do ask!!
Consistency: Creamy and feels moisturising but not sure if it is. It doesn't dry out my lips though
Colour: Plummy pink
Smell: Like all MUA lipsticks, it smells surprisingly nice. A almost sweet vanilla smell.
Taste: Haven't noticed a particular strong taste or bad taste
Longevity: Last quite a while, but after eating or drinking can fade.
Price: £1!!
Where to buy?: I buy mine from Superdrugs
Rating: 4/5 I give it this score as the only thing is it doesn't last as long as I like but apart from that its brilliant value for money!! Credit crunch make up!!

MUA Lipstick Shade 6

I needed something MLBB so I went to my local superdrugs on a hunt!! I think this was the second MUA lipstick I bought, looking for something nudey pink so I could wear it with heavy eye make up. I love this shade as it gives my lips that omph without looking OTT!!

Consistency: creamy and non drying
Colour: Light nudey pink
Smell: MUA's sweet vanilla smell
Taste: no specific strong taste
Longevity: not too bad, but not brilliant
Price: £1
Where to buy?: Superdrugs
Rating: 4/5 I love this colour to whack on when I am wearing intense eyes, as its a lovely nude colour, like my lips but better!! Its ever so slightly shimmery but not major. Brilliant value

MUA Lipstick Shade 8

I actually bought this lipstick yesterday!! I haven't had a chance to wear it yet but I might do it today!! Its such an intense shade and I love it on my lips!!

Consistency: creamy and non drying
Colour: darkish red with a shimmer
Smell: sweet vanilla
Taste: no strong taste
Longevity: don't know yet!!

Price: £1
Where to buy?: Superdrugs
Rating: can't really rate this one yet as I haven't worn it!!

MUA Lipstick Shade 12

This was the first MUA lipstick I bought, looking for a muted down shade of my NYC lipstick. Its a lovely pink shade with glittery  sparkles in it that show up on my lips and leave a nice effect.

Consistency: cream and non drying
Colour: brightish pink with sparkly bits
Smell: sweet vanilla
Taste: no strong taste
Longevity: decent enough for its price

Price: £1
Where to buy?: Superdrugs
Rating: 4/5 Again, the only reason the MUA lipsticks arn't perfect is their longevity!!

NYC Lipstick in 405B Blue Rose

I was looking for a bright pink shade one day, to be daring and I found this lovely colour!! I have to wear it on a brave day but it does look perfect on me once you get over the shock of the colour!
Consistency: creamy but a bit drying
Colour: bright pink with blue undertones
Smell: slight lipstick smell (do you know what I mean by lipstick smell?)
Taste: no particular taste
Longevity: I was amazed by the longevity of this lipstick. It keeps on going for ages and ages, and I talk and eat a lot!!

Price: £1.99
Where to buy?: Superdrugs
Rating: 4/5 The only problem is its a bit drying on my lips but apart from that its great value for money!!

Avon Lipstick in Vintage Pink

My mum got this lipstick free when she bought something from Avon (under my encouragement) and decided that the colour didn't suit her (shes dark skinned as my Grandad is Pakistani always tanned the lucky woman) so she gave it to me, what a shame :D
Consistency: its quite a hard lipstick but goes on nicely
Colour: I can only describe it as a nude red. It is a pinky red but not too intense, but it looks good!
Smell: I always thought it smelt lovely, like parma violets!!
Taste: don't taste of anything
Longevity: lasts a very long time but fades after too much drinking and eating

Price: £6.50
Where to buy?: From an Avon representative or the website (see below)
Rating: 4/5 is a good lipstick, but can get a similar performing lipstick for cheaper

Avon Lipstick in Frozen Rose

I don't remember where I got this, I believe it was last Christmas and its a lovely nude colour, but I use it sparingly as it can be a bit too pale for my lips depending on the make up I am wearing. It has lovely gold undertones so is quite a warm shade! Avon no longer sells this lipstick though
Consistency: smooth not too creamy
Colour: a light pinky shade with golden undertones
Smell: smells a bit sweet but with a tiny sawdust smell
Taste: no strong taste
Longevity: lasts okay but does fade after eating and drinking

Price: not sure as no longer sold
Where to buy?: no longer avaliable
Rating: I give this a 3/5 as it was probably expensive but doesnt last long and has a slight bad smell

Clinique Different Lipstick in Rose Taffy

I wanted a expensive lipstick just to see what they are like!! Luckily my uncle works for Este Lauder so I got these for Christmas :D I went into Debenhams first though to check my ideal shade, which turned out to be this lovely nudey pink!
Consistency: creamy but ever so slightly greasy
Colour: nudey rose pink colour with shimmers
Smell: classic lipstick smell
Taste: tiny bit of a taste but unnoticeable mostly
Longevity: lasts as long as you expect it too, very good longevity!

Price: £14.50
Where to buy?: Debenhams and online
Rating: 4/5 I don't like the lipstick smell and the slight greasyness but apart from that you DO get what you pay for in longevity and colour!!

GOSH Soft'n Shine lipbalm in Perfect Plum 34

Every now and then I splurge on some expensive drug store make up and most of the time the splurge is on GOSH!! I do love GOSH make up but its a bit pricey for me!! But I saw this and wanted to try a tinted lip balm!! This works quite well on my lips and it is very pigmented!
Consistency: creamy and greasy due to the moisturising
Colour: lovely plum colour
Smell: it smells like the lovely sweet tic tac smell :D
Taste: tastes a bit like tic tacs too mmmmmm
Longevity: lasts quite long despite it being greasy but does get wiped off by food

Price: I think I bought mine on offer for £6.50 but its around that price if not it
Where to buy?: Superdrugs
Rating: 4/5 If it lasted long too it would be perfect!

So this quick blog post on lipsticks turned into a very long blog post xD Appreciate it :P I am off to get a bath!! I will answer all comments over the weekend, I promise <3

Down The Rabbit Whole

Hello everyone!! How are you? I am back on schedule today, finally!! So today I am going to post about a party I went to on Sunday :D

It was my friend Maisey's 18th birthday party and she threw an Alice in Wonderland themed tea party!! There was no alcohol but a lot and a lot of cake!!

One end of the table with me, the Prince of Hearts and the Cheshire Cat!

The other end of the table with two white rabbits, two Hearts servants and one Alice

I went as Alice!! I wish I could of have a dress or something like the one in the movie, but I improvised haha!!

Me with the white rabbit! I don't think I ever kept still long enough for a decent picture haha!!

It was loads of fun!! At first we were all sat round the table I had a cup of tea and then some coke and the Cheshire Cat and the Prince of Hearts kept making me laugh everything I tried to sip my coke and resulted in me, a few times, spitting my coke out!! They are eeevillll to me!! Soon we migrated into the living room to kinda watch the movie and kinda mess about!! We chattered a lot and the Prince kept making disturbing noises everytime the Bloodhound came on TV hahaha it was so funny!! Here is a lovely picture of me and my friends messing about:

Maybe I am angry because they are my sunglasses? IDK

At some point, half the room had migrated to the middle room and the few of us that were left creeped out into the garden and then scared them by pressing themselves up against the window from the darkness of the garden....well okay, only I did the window thing, but it was funny and they all jumped and screamed!!

I'MA EATCHU

After that we went into the same room and turned the light off and caused trouble and get blinded by people randomly flashing their cameras so every five seconds the room was lit up by a camera flash MY EYYYES!!

At some point before it turned dark, pictures were taken of everyone in the garden!! So here are some:

The birthday girl as the Mad Hatter and the Cheshire Cat

All the Alice's

The White Rabbits! With the Cheshire Cat peeking in

The Prince of Hearts and his minions

When it was dark, we eventually headed into the garden and sat in a circle chatting till I demanded some sort of party game, which, in the end, turned into Truth or Dare!! I asked for one dare and I had to eat a spoonful of coffee and threw up it was sooooo DISGUSTING never again!! At 10:10pm we had the birthday cake :D Me and the cat kept passing it round the table, not actually stopping it and at some point I licked two slices, but people ate it regardless haha!! I hope they have my cold, gross people!! I didn't really feel like cake at that point so I nibbled at a bit and didn't finish my slice, so I gave it to my dustbin AKA the Prince. I think he polished off about three slices!!

It was a brilliant night and I am so glad I went, even if I did have to get up at 615 the next morning!! Sooo tired but I slept on the minibus to Cheddar Gorge (blog about that tomorrow). I shall leave you with a group photo!

Haul Post :D

Hey guys! Here is a quick haul post as I am in pain in my side for some reason xD

I went shopping during the week when I was feeling ill, to make myself feel better, and bought some things for meeee!! And saw something I wanted which I went and bought the next day ;D

So here is what I bought!!

The pick n mix and the galaxy was 99p ;D NOM NOM NOM I love the 99p store cause if you want a quick treat the little tubs of pick n mix arn't so big that you can put a sickly amount of sweets in it, its just right in size.
Here is closer up pictures!

Needed a new one of these since my Hello Kitty one was on its last legs. Love these

£1 pearly blue liquid eyeliner that resists smudging and a bit of water? Yes please!

I was so ill I wore JEANS OMG and nice bit of card for drawing cards on...haha

Was recommended this for my eyelashes and it works well, though a bit clumpy :D

My third MUA lipstick, I am addicted

Haven't added to my collection in a while so here are some pastel shades :D

Kids ear muffs cause adults are too big for my head :(

I'm being Alice tomorrow ;D

Gonna cut the fingers off to make them like her gloves in the TB movie

Charity store find ;D

A water proof shopping bag, just what I needed!

And what I went back for the next day were these babies, my last self purchase for the month ;D

I love these so comfy!! And good for winter ;D

Now to go as in unbearable pain D:

Sorry I been away folks!! + Mums 50th

I won't be able to answer all the messages I got over the past couple of weeks, sorry!! I have been ill for one week and still recovering from it, the flu, nasty stuff. And also a little bit depressed but I do feel a little better now and since its been over two weeks, I thought I had best post a blog entry!! I am so sorry for not blogging for so long and I have finally hit 70 followers and I am SO happy thank you so much!! When I hit 100 (if I ever do) I will definitely be doing a give away!! Wow 70 followers, I never thought I would even get 10!! Thank you all so much!!

Well what else have I been up to? On the 1st, it was my mums 50th birthday party!! Here is a picture of my lovely mum opening some cards:

 

I wore my favourite fancy dress, which I have had for a while now, cost £90 from Next a couple of Christmas' ago!!

Little gold scarf as a shawl over the top of it to keep me warm!! We had the party at the lovely Spinnaker Tower, 120 metres above the harbour at Gunwharf Quays. I took some photos of the lit up city of Portsmouth but they came out a bit blurry hehe

But still very pretty! There was a glass floor and I didn't take very good photos of it, but my cousin did so here is pictures from the glass floor (which I loved standing on and looking down!)

 

The waiters weren't half bad looking but I didn't get any photos of them, boo hoo!! But I did tell my friend they usually work at the cafe underneath the tower and she was like ooooooo lets go there!! So might be going there sometime haha!!
All the family over 21 were there and it was great fun!! A lot of my cousins are over 21 now and I love all my family they are such fun!! Here is a picture of my and my dad (with my cousin and her partner)

 And here is a picture of me with my cousin!

Now, I do have a drink in my hand there and chances are it was normal coke, though I did have two malibus and coke, I don't really drink and I don't really need it to have fun!! Plenty of sugar from coke and the chocolate fountain helps though!!

It was a brilliant night and I enjoyed it so much, had to take my shoes off at some point though, my feet were killing me!! Good thing my mum booked the hotel cause I went back,  put a face mask on and relaxed in bed till half one, reading!! Was brilliant, though my feet did hurt for quite a bit!! Luckily they were fine the next day and I treated myself to a chocolate pastry and a yogurt for breakfast with plenty of OJ and water, and then went out and bought a starbucks after wards (strawberry and cream frap with a strawberry cupcake anyone?) This was my morning after outfit, nothing too fancy:

The room was nice but there wasn't any freebies *sad face* But thats to be expected from a Holiday Inn haha!!

View from the window!

I shall see if I can fit another blog in today, if not, blog tomorrow!! Sorry its been so long, love you guys!!
