NYX lipstick review

 

I'll be honest I used to think that lipstick never suited me. I was never one of those girls who wore lipstick so flawlessly 24/7 it looked like the lipstick was applied so easily. I'm not even going to lie I could never apply my lipstick just like they did (i'm still learning myself) Oh how I wished I could!

Last year I did something crazyyy but amazingg!! My lovely angel of a friend introduced me to these lipsticks that I was a bit unsure of at first. I wasn't sure if they were worth purchasing and if I was putting my money to good use, as there was a chance they wouldn't have been used after attempting to apply them the first time. Can you see how pointless buying one lipstick would have been?  I thought I'll take my friends word for it and purchased not one lipstick but two!!! I know you'll be thinking I was mad after what I have just said. Both two different shades of red a shade I thought that would never suit me! Yes I'm totally mad! what was I thinking?! A disaster when it comes to applying them (well I thought).

NYX this lipstick was called one I'd not really heard of before, well it makes sense I've never worn much branded lippy's before. The only lipstick I thought topped most lippy's was Mac. Well Mac lipsticks may be amazing but these NYX are just as amazing.

NYX lipsticks I purchased:

  NYX soft matte lip cream in the shade - AMSTERDAM 

This soft matte lip cream is in a lovely shade of light red. Its one of the first NYX lipsticks I had purchased and I'm very glad I did. When I applied this lippy I only needed a few coats. Once set this lippy was a soft light red/pink shade that I loved sooo much! I've worn this shade of lippy out many times before and have been out for meals and clubbing for hours without having to apply this lippy again. What a fab lippy! This lippy only costs £5.50 an amazing cheap price for a long lasting lipstick that looks professional once set. I'd totally recommend this one if you're looking for long lasting lipsticks.

NYX soft matte lip cream in the shade - SAN PAULO

This soft matte lippy is a lovely light shade of pink. When I applied this lippy I found that I only needed a few coats. Once set this lippy was a soft light pink shade that I loved! Although this lippy is one of my least faves. This lippy only costs £5.50 an amazing cheap price for a long lasting lipstick that looks professional once set. This is a shade that would be great for Spring not too bright but a very light tone. I'd recommend this lippy if you would like to wear a light pink shade during the day.

NYX soft matte lip cream in the shade - KITTEN HEELS 

This Liquid suede cream lipstick is a lovely vibrant red that adds a lovely matte finish once dried.  Not only is this lippy meant to set with a matte finish but it is also waterproof and long lasting. This shade of  lippy was by far my absolute fav. What a shade! I had applied two coats of this pretty shade on my lips as you only need one or two coats its so pigmented. Once this lippy had set it left a velvet matte finish and lasted hours even when having food and drink. This lippy leaves a professional touch only at the price of £6.50 such an amazing, cheap, high quality lippy anyone could afford. I would strongly recommend this lipstick in this shade as its such a bright red, love it!

What great products I spent my money on. Now I can apply that lippy and challenge the world and you can too (well maybe not the whole world) But you get the picture. 

And that my lovelies is why you should purchase theses amazinggg lipsticks!

What is your favorite lippy?

With lots of love

My festival experience

As everyone's hyped about the festival line ups and concerts (oh yes Ed Sheeran's concert) for this year. I thought I'd share my amazingggg V-fest experience back in 2015 with my one in a million amazing angel of a best friend.

First day at V-fest 2015 

V-fest oh my where to start! what a fun experience I'll never ever forget I mean ever! One of the best memories I'll treasure forever and ever! Seriously though if you haven't already been to a festival what are you playing at? you should totally go, I guarantee you'll have one of the best moments in your life honestly. The start of every year is exciting with all the line ups announced making us crave the summer months even more. I mean come on summer has got to be by far the best of any season out of them all.


Anyway I'll get back to my festival experience. Well... 2015 (wow seems like decades ago now) the summer I left sixth form looking forward to those festival vibes with my wonderful best friend. We had been soooo excited since the start of the year when we brought our tickets for V-fest in Chelmsford (Essex). Both of us always wanted to go to a festival...well to be honest there are many places we would love to explore together, who wouldn't want to travel the world with their best friend? But that's another blog post I'll save for another rainy day.

Getting ready for the festival

 A few days prior to the festival I was planning the festival outfits I'd wear hoping it wasn't going to chuck it down with typical British summer rain, we're very lucky if we have more than one hot day in August. Don't forget those sun glasses! (lets hope the sun stays out) It wasn't just the outfits I had to also make sure that I had plenty of money at the ready for the unhealthy food and drink (alcoholic drinks of course) that I would consume over the next few days. If you ever go you'll feel like you're being well and truly ripped off (cheers Jerry for making those shocking prices!) I mean five pound for a small portion of cheesy chips with only a small handful of actual chips you get, come on what a rip off that was. Yes you might have guessed its an expensive weekend! I'm not even going to lie, out all things there we spent money on a load of sweets between us plus some alcohol, cheesy chips oh and hot chocolate..well why not? Talk about spending money wisely... haha! But who cares it's a festival you'll just eat junk food anyway or you'll spend it drinking alcohol the whole weekend.

 Last day at V-fest 2015

Getting through the festival gates 

It's the very first day you wake up buzzing with excitement you just want to get through those gates. Oh but you do have to queue (sigh) if only there were no queues or having to be checked at the gates. Yet you thought you could get away without paying a fortune on drinks by bringing your own bottle of vodka etc. You'll either have to drink it or bin it, what a damn pain that is! At least me and my friend didn't queue for very long...what a relief that was. I mean who really wants to queue for ages on a very hot day waiting to get into a festival?

Once you're actually past those festival gates

Yes finally you're in the festival...lets go get those festival vibes.

Choosing the artists you want too see, choose wisely it at least takes five to ten minutes (depending on how fast you walk to get to the next stage)

First day...yessss!!

The first day was a blast. The sun was shining it was a hot day and the festival vibes had got to both me and my friend.  The day started off with Marina and the Diamonds then The Kooks, George Ezra, Ella Henderson, Ellie Goulding, The Script etc.The night ended a blast too when the headlining act Kasabian came on we both started singing to the top of our voices not giving a damn to how bad we sounded, danced (more like jumping around with our hands in the air like we just don't care) You can tell we didn't want that night to end. Both of us must have only had a few hours sleep both nights, but we still had adrenaline to jump around. What a night that was! Can I just re-live that moment please?

Last day...nooo!!

Second day no not the last! Nobody wants to go face reality after a blast of a weekend. You know what?... I spoke to soon the second day it started to rain, yep typical weather us brits have. But it didn't stop us both from enjoying our very last day. On a positive note it was only a small shower that passed then it had finally brightened up, time to get those sun glasses out again. We started off listening to a bit of Jazzzz by Gregory Porter what a great singer he was. We ended the night by listening to Paloma Faith. What another blast of a day that was. Why did that have to end?  I'm so excited to go to many more in the future, who wouldn't be?


Love,

Brontë
