TED BAKER Pout and Prejudice 3 Lipstick Set


Its that time of year again ! Boots have the Christmas Gifts sets back on the shelf's. 
Now I am sure you all know by now that I do love myself a good bargain. I always take a little look at the Christmas gift sets as you always seem to get a bit more for your money, Or even better a limited edition set. There is nothing wrong with buying yourself a little present (well I tell myself that anyway) 

This little set comes in a gorgeous metal tin. The lid has a lovely vintage design with cute houses in gorgeous pastel colours, So cute! The tin is perfect for keeping your lipsticks in or storing anything you like in there . Its a great size so perfect to pop in your bag when your on the go.  


So here are the three shades we have Nude, Peach and Red. They are a lovely little Treo and although are quite similar shades they all look very different on, I also love the design of the lipsticks themselves. The Classic Ted Baker baby pink teamed with rose gold is definitely a winner for me!
All the lipsticks have the same texture which is very moisterising and creamy. They are a delight to put on as they feel so soft and nourishing.

 So the first of out three shades is Nude. I love this shade, It gives a beautiful subtle shine. This will definitely compliment any outfit or eye makeup. It really is the perfect shade of nude. Its not too light which can sometimes give the "foundation lips" look. And it's not to dark so it will suit every skin type. 
 Moving on to the second shade we have Peach. Its a beautiful pinky tone. This vibrant pink will really compliment all makeup. If your looking to add a girly touch to your outfit or makeup, Peach is a great shade to reach for.  
 Last but not least we have shade Red. Now this has to be one of my favourite red lipsticks. The pigments in this red are just perfect. Its a lovely creamy red which is very vivid but at the same time very subtle. Its a very pinky red so gives a lovely girly finish. Some red lipsticks you can spend forever perfecting as you have to get it just right, However this Red applies very easily and quickly. 


These are great to keep in your bag on the go or gorgeous to keep for special occasions. You can use your Nude lipstick during the day and glamorise your look with the gorgeous Red in the evening for a whole new style. If you would like to purchase this set please visit Boots. At only £15 this makes each lipstick only £5!  The quality is amazing for this price. I may even buy myself one more set as I know these shades will be dearly missed when they run out!

Whats your favourite shade from this gorgeous Treo ?

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.

To buy this product please visit The Body Shop
