Hey Lovelies,

So let's get stuck in shall we

My Thoughts:

MUA's £1 lipsticks have been a favourite of mine for me since I first discovered the brand a few years ago. Their cheap as chips and have pretty great colour pay-off for the price, you could buy all the colours you need (or want!) and not break the bank. What's not to love.

So when I heard they were making Matte Lipsticks (quite awhile ago now...catch up with the times Gem!), I got rather excited. As a lover of bold lips, I know all too well the annoyance of smudged lipsticks, and for me, I've noticed Matte Lipsticks smudge alot less and have great staying power.

So the promise of all that for £1...I had to give them a try. I picked up two colours, which were the ones that appealed to me the most from the selection available in my local Superdrug...so I ended up getting Wild Berry & Scarlet Siren.

The colours are alot more sheer than I had expected, but they can be built up to a more full on colour. And for only £1, that's really not bad. It gives you the choice between having a soft, sheer flush of colour or a full on bold Matte pout.

They dry pretty quick, leaving a gorgeous Matte finish. When their applied sheer, their quite like a stain minus the staining afterwards.

Wild Berry looks scary dark in the tube but it isn't when applied on the lips...it's more of a gorgeous, purple berry colour that looks so pretty. And the red is just stunning, we all know how much I love a red lip.

Overall, their pretty good for the price, not 100% amazing but their really good for the bargain price of only £1.

4.5/5.

Have you tried the Matte Lipsticks before? Or know any other great Matte Lipsticks you think I should try, Let me know in the comments :).

Till the next time,

Ah I love this time of year! The leaves are changing colour, the air is crispier and everything just feels cosy! But most importantly, Lush get there Halloween and Christmas range in! And of course I had to go pick a few bits!
It's only a small haul this time, and is mostly Halloween products with one Christmas product that I just had to try!
I will be picking up some Christmas bits very soon so look out for that!

So let's get stuck in!
The first thing I had to pick up was of course Lord of Misrule bath bomb which is one of my all time favourites from Lush. I've bought this year after year, and i'm definitely making sure I stock up this year! I hope they never discontinue this! You can also get it in a Shower cream Online which is great if you love the scent but don't like baths/don't have a bath at home. Its spicy herbal scent isn't my usual go to at lush, but there's something about this blend that just draws me in and makes me feel all cosy and ready for…

Hey Lovelies, 
So I'm back once again, and there's a few changes...to me and the blog!

I've moved hosts, changed the name and bought my own domain..which may mean I lose a few followers but hopefully you'll come back or i'll gain some new ones! The changes to me we will discuss in another post. 

But anyway I'm back!! I don't have a strict schedule or any schedule to be honest atm, as it's attempt god knows what at trying to get my mojo back, I realised in all the other attempts I've tried to push myself into a strict schedule straight away or commit to more than I could manage at the time, due to mental health, life commitment etc. So this time I want to be able to take my time and work myself back into a schedule, so the posts might not be regular or in any time of schedule for a while but i'm back blogging and that's the important thing. 

And damn, I really have missed blogging, especially these last few months! I still take photos for posts, …

|| LIFESTYLE || Coventry Bloggers Event at the Bodyshop

So the other week, I went to another amazing Coventry Bloggers Event,  arranged by the lovely Emily of  The Emily Chapters, this time at the Body Shop in Coventry City Centre. 
I'll admit before I went to this event, my knowledge on the Body Shop was limited. I used to always get a gift set from there from an auntie every Christmas and I've followed them on Social Media for awhile now, but it's been awhile since I've tried anything by them. I had misconceptions that they were expensive and out of my price range, but how wrong I was. 
Now onto the event itself!

Most of us met outside before the event, and I have to give a shout out to these girls. Some of them I've met quite a few times already and some I only first met at the event...but they are all amazing, friendly and encouraging people! They have restored my faith in the blogging community, and that's helping me to grow in confidence as a blogger.
When we entered the Body Shop, we were greeted by two love…
