REVLON LIPSTICK IN CARNIVAL SPIRIT

REVLON LIPSTICK IN CARNIVAL SPIRIT - £7.49

When I looked down the clear lid the lipstick looked like the MUST have orange lipstick for my holiday, boy was I wrong! I was so disappointed when I swatched this lipstick as I didn't realise it was more like a lip tint than a lipstick. I wanted something similar to the MAC lipstick in Morange.

Carnival Spirit is one of Revlons 'Super Lustrous' lipsticks, which I didn't know at the time! That will teach me for just picking things up from random counters, in random places. The Super Lustrous lipsticks look like they would be super pigmented, but they aren't really and they do apply sheer. The swatch above was swatched back and forth quite a few times for that pigmentation to show, if you like your lips with a hint of colour you may love this lipstick. Now I have quite dark lips so lip tints aren't really something I ever reach out for as they don't do me any justice what so ever. This is what happens when I don't look at swatches before I buy. The lipstick isn't very long lasting on the lips either, one swig of a drink and it's off. I would of loved this lipstick in a matte finish, just imagine how gorgeous the lipstick would be. 

Overall Revlon Super Lustrous lipsticks aren't really my cup of tea, but you may have a different opinion if you like this type of finish. It's such a pretty shade when applied over and over again. I wouldn't buy another in this finish anyway and it's taught me to look at the label before I buy ha! What's your favourite finish?

COSMO SUNNIES - OOTD.

Can I just start by saying how FABULOUS these cat eye sunglasses are that I got free within the Cosmopolitan magazine last week. I nearly bought some just like these from ASOS and I'm glad I didn't give in as I prefer these ones to the ones online. I doubt I'll be taking them off this week or this Summer even.

I recently found out this old dress when going through my wardrobe looking for items to list on eBay to fund my shopping habits. I remember buying it off someone on eBay for about £5.00 - what a steal! It's a super pretty dress that looks so nice through the day time with the cute lace layering and pretty little sleeves. I decided to pair it with my little dolly shoes that I bought from Public Desire. I think I may have an addiction with their shoes!

FLORAL SHORTS - OOTD.

You've got to make the most of these outdoor outfit posts when the sun is shining here in the UK (we don't get it often). Oh how I'd love to live abroad. Can you imagine the constant tan? I best put that Lottery on hadn't I?

I can never make my mind up about these shorts, its a love/hate relationship. I love the bold floral print and they do look great on, but I've hardly worn them as they haven't really been one of my 'go to' shorts. It's time for me to step away from that boring wardrobe filled with dark, plain colours and be a bit more adventurous I reckon. I decided to pair the shorts with one of my favourite vests from ASOS. I love that it doesn't have a low neckline, nobody wants to see those teenage boy boobies of mine and I can't help but rave about these gorgeous shoes from Public Desire.

Anyway, I hope you're enjoying these fashion posts as I've loved doing something a little different recently. I hope this post manages to go live as I always have a problem with scheduling my posts and as you'll know from my previous post that I'm currently away sunning it up in Gran Canaria. Hopefully sat in my TRIANGL bikini on the beach with a big floppy hat, large sunnies and a cocktail in hand - don't want much do I? Hopefully I'll have some lovely holiday photos to share with you when I get back. Speaking of getting back... I'm hoping to get my hands on is a new camera lens, thinking of going for the 50m lens. Does anyone else have it for the Canon EOS 600D? Or any other recommendations at all?
