How to Get The Perfect Red Lip

-Gently exfoliate lips with an old, soft toothbrush & non-glossy lip balm

-Line just outside the rim of the lips with NYX's Wonder Pencil (I have used WP01 Light) and blend outwards slightly to make sure there is no harsh line.

-Apply MAC Prep + Prime lip primer all over top & bottom lip. Wait a few moments.

-Line all around the lip edges with Rimmel Exaggerate Full Colour Lip Liner (Shade 024 Red Diva) and make a cross at the cupids bow to make it more pronounced. Use the liner to fill in lips.

-Apply Kate Moss Lasting Finish for Rimmel (Shade 111 Kiss of Life) carefully over top & bottom lip.

-Blot lips on tissue being careful not to smudge lipstick.

-Seperate a facial tissue so that you only have 1 ply, place over lips & gentle apply a small amount of translucent loose powder over tissue.

-Apply another coat of lipstick.

-Using the NYX Wonder Pencil again, line outside of lips, for a crisp, clean finish.

New Shoes Alert!

How amazing are my new Adi Fluxes? Bargain at €60 from the junior section of Schuh, sizes 3-5.5. It's times like this I'm grateful for my tiny, child-sized feet!

Planning to wear these babies with skinny jeans and a plain tee. This leopard print pattern needs no competition in my opinion!

Inglot Nail Polish Review

As I was at a loose end this week while in Cork for work, I purchased three bottle of Inglot nail polish at a price of €10 each or 3 for the price of 2. These ones were from the Oliver Plunkett St branch, where they had a very generous colour selection, which from what I've seen from there other branches seems to be fairly consistent.

Product codes are: 858 (colour reviewed) 969 & 332.

Pros:

-Opaque coverage with one coat (picture shows nails after two coats)

-Has proven to be incredibly chip resistant so far

-High shine finish

Cons:

-The brush was very thin (I prefer a thicker brush for less brush strokes & fuller coverage)

-More expensive than drug store polishes 

-The brush could sometimes hold too much product resulting in pooling at the cuticles
