Illamasqua Lipstick in Immodest Review & Swatches

ILLAMASQUA 'IMMODEST' - £16.50

Hi guys! Sorry I haven't blogged in while, I've been a bit busy but I've finally got some free time to write about my new favourite lipstick: Immodest from Illamasqua. Immodest is described as being a 'vivid pink with a matte finish' which I couldn't put better myself. It is certainly vivid - pretty much neon! The brightness of this lipstick may put some people off but it can definitely be sheered out to create a more subtle pink lip. It is also very matte which I love as it looks a bit different and makes it more long wearing. You could always put a gloss over the top though if that's what you prefer. My lips have been so dry due to the cold weather we've been having so (as you can see in the swatch) on my lips it looked a bit dry that day but with a slick of vaseline on underneath this glides on perfectly and doesn't budge all day.

In all honesty I think this is definitely more of a summer lipstick due to the bright punchy pink and the matte finish, but I've been getting a lot of wear out of it by sheering it out a little which looks really pretty too. I can imagine this colour looking amazing with a tan - could summer hurry up pls 

Do you like the look of this lipstick?

Week in instagram #1

Hi guys! 

Today I thought I'd do an instagram post as I've been a little busy lately and I haven't had time to plan any blog posts (although I've got some good ones coming!) I say I've been busy but my insta doesn't even show that - just selfies haha. School is boring at the moment and we're just getting loads of homework. I've got my English presentation tomorrow which is going to be poo as I'm the least confident person ever. In other news, I went to go and see Devils Due the other day at the cinema and that can only mean one thing .. tango ice blasts!!! Yes they are the best thing about the cinema. I've also been enjoying lots of sweets and lots of Lana. I'm longing to be back at her concert and can't wait for her to be back on tour, I'm definitely going to see her! Cups of tea and Chelsea boots sum up this week (and winter) perfectly I think.

Sorry if this post is a little dodgy, I'm writing it on the blogger app which we all know is bloody awful!

My instagram is @livroses_ and I'd love it if you could give it a follow! Leave your usernames down below and ill be sure to check them out!

Thanks for reading, I hope you all had a good weekend!

Face Of The Day #7

Hello everyone! I thought that this year I would do more FOTDs as I really enjoy reading other peoples and they aren't quite easy to do when you've got bloggers block! I wore this look to the cinema last night to see Devil's Due, where I may have screamed a little lot and spent half the time with my jacket over my face!

Base
MAC Studio Fix Fluid NC15, Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer 1 Fair, Rimmel Stay Matte Powder (not pictured as it is looking a bit worse for wear!), Max Factor Bronzer, MAC MSF in Lightscapade.

I wanted to go for quite a full coverage so I used Studio Fix which is running out and I desparatly need a new one but I can't justify spending another £20 for a foundation that I have such a love hate relationship with! The Lasting Perfection Concealer and Stay Matte Powder are products everyone raves about so I won't go into too much detail! My Mac Factor Bronzer has lasted me forever but I've just recently hit pan :( It is insanely pigmented though and I'm surprised I don't see more of it on the blogosphere. I have a full review of the MAC MSF in Lightscapade so I will link it here.

Eyes
MAC Painterly Paint Pot, No7 Eyeshadow Duo, Sleek Au Naturel Palette, Me Now Brown Eye Pencil, Soap and Glory Archery Brow Pencil, No 7 Extreme Length Mascara

Firstly I primed my eyes using MACs Painterly Paint Pot (full review here) then, I used my most favourite eyeshadow ever from the No 7 Duo, the top shade. I really want to find a similar one as it such a nice colour! I then used the greeny-olivey shade from the Sleek palette called Moss (the second shade on the second row) in my outer corner and crease. With my Me Now brown eyeliner I lined my lashline, then I applied lashings of mascara! I filled in my brows using my new favourite brow pencil, Soap & Glory's Archery - it's amazing. Although the photo does not give it justice as that day was a bad eyebrow day.


So that is my first FOTD of 2014, I hope you liked it and if you'd like to see more posts like this let me know in the comments! Enjoy the rest of your weekend :)
