Two Looks, One London

Hi all, another beauty post I'm on a roll go just go with it, but do not fear I do have other posts lined up. You guys may have noticed that both Courtney and I are lovers of a bright lip. I really feel that having a bright colour on your lips just brightens your whole face plus it makes it seem as if you put more effort into your outfit, and not like you choose which ever clothes were clean (which I totally do not do of course). I will be one of those old ladies you see still rocking a red lip when I'm eighty, that is much I love wearing bright lipstick.

However with all great things there are downsides, you have to constantly reapply though out the day, it gets on any and everything, I will link to a post of mine where I actually have a red lipstick stain on the cuff of my shirt. You also have to check in the mirror that your lipstick it has not ended up on your chin somewhere and as someone who never carries a mirror around with them I find myself constantly looking in shop windows and in car mirrors. So I love a good lipstain, once you apply it you do not have to worry about it again. Well you do not if it is a good one and this one from Topshop is a good one, it is also an awesome colour. It is a beautifully glossy fuchsia pink that looks so nice when on and does not budge. And best of all I brought this when in was on sale for about three quid I think, bargain. Do you guys have any other awesome lip stains please comment and share the love. Hope you are all having a happy day.

Hi guys, bit of a different post this time. I have been on a mission to get my skin in the best shape it can be so I thought I would share with you some of the products that I have been enjoying. My skin type is oily to normal that sometimes breaks out. On the whole I find that my skin does not give me many problems but it can be dull; so I am a sucker for anything that has the word radiance in it or promises to give your skin a glow so look out for those types of products.

Right on to the mask, this an overnight mask that you leave on and it sinks into your skin much like a moisturiser. It's pretty much a fancy night cream, they just like marketing things in new and clever ways. So how do you use it Saffron I can hear you ask, well great question, you would apply after it after you have completed your normal routine minus night cream and serum. For me that means after I have cleansed and applied my exfoliating toner, then I would pop on the mask. I use about a pea sized amount and apply that all over my face.

So the verdict, I love this stuff whenever I use it I wake up the next morning with soft, glowy skin that looks like I've just had a facial. Origins says that this mask is meant for dry skin types, but as I said earlier I have oily to normal skin and find it is fine on my skin and not to heavy. But if you have really oily skin then maybe this is not for you, but for anyone else I recommend you give it a try. I use this two to three times a week. It is £23 for 100ml, not cheap but not crazy expensive. Hope you all like this review, comment below if you have tried this and what were your thoughts on it.

I have decided to start doing more beauty posts as I am a skincare junkie and have more makeup than I could possibly hope to wear. So I am starting off with products at the more affordable end of the scale, I think this will be a sort of drugstore series starting with lipsticks. Now I love a bright lip, so all of these are bright colours. I have yet to find the perfect nude so if you have any suggestions please let me know but for now here are my top 8 favourite drugstore lipsticks. Yeah I know 8 is a really awkward number I just couldn't choose 5 and I felt 10 was to many.
