Vaseline Limited Edition Paint The Town Red Lip Tint Review



On a recent trip to Selfridges I came across this new Paint The Town red lip tint made by Vaseline.
Paint The Town is the latest in Vaseline's Limited edition range. This is the third Limited edition tint that Vaseline have brought out the first being Creme Brulee and the second being Pink Bubbly  
I love the design on the the lid of the lip tint. 
I think its a great idea that the red paint is dripping down the lid to form the silhouette of a city skyline.
 This is such a creative idea and also looks so pretty. 



 The colour of the tint in the tin looks a very deep dark red. However the lip tint gives a very light pinky tone to the lips. It is very subtle and only a few shades darker than your natural lip colour. It is noticeable that you have something on your lips but I wouldn't say that I would wear it for a night out on its own. This would be great teamed with a red lipstick for an extra added red glossy look for a more glamorous effect rather than just on its own. 
I would recommend this if you feel lipsticks don't suit you or you don't want to try them, but want a little extra something on a night out. 




The lovely tint has a gorgeous spiced berry flavour which smells amazing especially for the winter months. 
This limited edition lip tint is currently only available at Selfridges for £3.49. The tint will be sold in boots stores towards the end of September.
I think this is a great purchase and would recommend this to anyone. Its great teamed with red lipstick for a more glossy softer look and great on its own for a sweet subtle pinky shine.
As the tint is limited edition there is a limited supply so snap one up while you have the chance ! 



Thanks for reading.

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
