The Body Shop Born Lippy Pomegranate

On a recent shopping trip with a friend i got The Body Shops Born Lippy lip balm in Pomegranate (now that's a mouthful) . 

I had no intention of getting the lip balm but looking on the voucher codes app this lip balm popped up.  

By showing the code at the tills you received a free lip balm !

Usually you only get offers like this when you spend over a certain amount of money, but I didn't have to spend a thing. I simply just showed the code at the tills and could pick any shade I wanted. 

The lip Balms are usually £3 which is a great price anyway but even better for free. 

The lip Balm comes in 6 different shades.

Toffee - Caramel Tint  

Lychee - Transparent Shimmer 

Plum - Plum Tint

Pomegranate - Red Tint

Strawberry - Pink Tint

Pink Berry - Light Pink Tint

I don't usually go for red colours but I thought I have enough pink lipsticks and lip balms to last me for the next 10 years (well if the expiry date lasted that long!).

I wasn't really expecting much colour to come through after applying but there is a lovely subtle red tint with a nice shine. You can definitely tell that something has been applied to your lips.

The smell of the lip balm is lovely. You can really smell the Pomegranate. Its very fruity and sweet.   

  This lip balm is also one of the best for moisterising. It has left my lips feeling completely soft and nourished. 

If the weather it cold outside or Lovely and Sunny this is great to use. 

 I also love the pop art style on the packaging. It makes the lip balm stand out as most lip balms are quite simple and block colours. I know the design definitely made me want the lip balm even more.

Topshop Lipstick & Lip-gloss

For the review on the Eye Shadow Trio please click the link - Topshop Eye shadow Trio

As i was looking through the makeup section in Topshop The Glaze lip-glosses and lipsticks stood out to me. I have been looking for a bright pink lipstick for a while as i am starting to run out of the one i currently wear. So i needed wanted to get the lipstick but the lip-gloss just appeared in my hand when i got to the tills to pay ! 

I decided to buy the lip-gloss in a shade called Bubblegum. I love all things bubblegum so i'm guessing this was just another sign that I should purchase the lip-gloss and I am so pleased that I did. The colour is a lovely subtle pink. I was a little worried the lip-gloss would be a little bland but it definitely has a lovely colour to it. The gloss is very shimmery as it has little flecks of glitter inside the gloss which makes it even more pretty and girly. 

The product itself also stays on very well and is long lasting. I have been wearing it all day and have only had to top it up once. 

The lip gloss is £7 which i feel is quite reasonable as it is such a lovely gloss.

Now on to the lipstick! I absolutely love this shade. Although it is very bright so maybe it's not to everyone's liking. The shade I decided to get is called Bombshell. If your anything like me when you buy a lipstick you cant wait to get home to try it on. As soon as i left the shop I put the lipstick on and I can happily say it lasted me for the rest of the shopping trip! (around 3 hours also had a drink and it didn't budge) The lipstick is a little patchy when  first applied but i found as i put more on and rubbed my lips together it soon smoothed out. This may also be because I need to wear it in a bit yet. The lipstick is a little expensive at £9 but i think the price is justified with how long lasting it is as you wont have to keep reapplying. The lipstick does have a slight shine to it as you can see in the picture but overall is more matte than shiny. 

I applied the lip-gloss on top of the lipstick. This adds another great look! The lip-gloss tones the lipstick down giving it a more subtle look and a lovely deep pink shimmery effect. I would recommend buying a lip-gloss and a lipstick as you can have 3 great shades and also adds to the lasting power.

You can purchase both products at Topshop.

Have you tried any of the Topshop Lip-glosses or lipsticks ? I would love to hear your opinion

Clinique Chubby Stick

I love the new Chubby Sticks that Clinique have recently stocked up there shelves with. On first Impression i thought that the Chubby Sticks would not have much colour to them and be more like a lip balm. I was pleasantly surprised as the Chubby Sticks are like a lipstick and moisturizing lip balm in one! The colour comes out very strong and also lasts well considering how moisturizing it is.

The Chubby Sticks are quite expensive at £16 each. Look out for when Clinique are doing special offers where you receive a little gift pack when you spend over a certain amount. At the moment you usually get a Free Chubby Stick ! Although it is slightly smaller than the original product. The Chubby sticks are a unique pencil style design. The applicator has a easy twist mechanism at the end to raise the content up from the tube. Just twist the silver section at the bottom. 

I would certainly  recommend one of these Chubby Sticks. They really do look nice and compliment all makeup. They are available in 16 shades so i'm sure you can find the perfect shade for you. They really do moisturize your lips leaving them soft and looking great. The texture of the product itself is very similar to lip balm and doesn't feel slimy or sticky at all. I have now got 3 of the Chubby Sticks in different shades they are great to have in your makeup and handbag ! 

You can buy the Chubby Sticks at Clinique. You can also buy the product in high street stores such as boots. 

Has anyone else tried the Chubby Sticks ? I would love to hear your feed back ! x
