As I type furiously away on my laptop, there's a sense of apprehension in the air. Do I dare say this? Do I dare cross the tide of blogger opinion? Am I the ONLY one that doesn't rave about the Apocalips??



Okay, let's take a step back. I'm not talking about four horsemen and a load of see-ya-later World. I'm talking about the Apocalips Lip Lacquer range brought out by Rimmel....

Thursday's are the new Fridays and this lip lacquer is THE best companion for any party girl.

In stark comparison to yesterday's Kiss, this colour screams 'MUM! IM GOING OUT OUT' and subsequently runs out of the house on its platform heels with no jacket on despite the fact it's minus degrees outside... Sound familiar to anyone?



This is the Barry M Lip Lacquer Crayon - one of five intensely glossy crayons in a range of glittery colours. OoooOOooh.

Subtley is not the aim here ladies, these crayons are out to SHOCK. AND. AWE. 

You don't 'apply' this, you wap it on, slick it on, slap it on - BOOM!

The Look

A bright, glossy and glittery fuchsia, this shade is aptly named Party Pink.

Vibrant and unapologetic, it's certainly not for the subtle beauties who like to keep it looking natural.

Now I'm not one to judge but... 

...if you haven't yet discovered E.L.F (eyeslipsface.co.uk), it's like you've been LIVING IN A CAVE and not yet seen the light!

E.L.F sells lots of great quality cosmetics, at really affordable prices. They do a good range of brushes and, right now, I am giving some serious overtime to their skin-enhancing, complexion boosting products. (see ya later hangover face!)

But today, it's Lipstick day. This lipstick was only £3.75 AND i got it with a 50% discount code - what an absolute bargain. Positively criminal!

Vital Statistics

I love flipsticks! With one colour at either end, they are pretty much two lipsticks for the price of one. 

And to make Flipsticks even better, Maxfactor Lip Effects have come up with a clever way to combine them, so now - it's THREE for the price of one! Barg.


Today's lipstick is one of six Maxfactor Colour Effect Flipsticks and features two shades - one intense and creamy colour and a lighter, shimmery shade. 

Despite the fact that L'Oreal are refusing to spell 'colour' the CORRECT way, I absolutely love their Color Riche range.

Intense, creamy pigments which give a thick coverage whilst remaining light on the lips. And today's lipstick is no exception



This is what L'Oreal themselves have to say about the range:

"This is not a lipstick.

This is lip pampering luxury 

This is a kaleidoscope of colour. 

This is Color Riche."

Anyone else getting serious deja vu of the M&S advert?? Haha, I'm now repeating the lines to myself in a seductive voice..

MOVING ON.

I participated in my first blog swap this week and it is THE BEST decision I made this yeeeear (look, its been a long january okay..) 

For those that aren't familiar with a blog swap, basically you agree to buy a fellow blogger some products, and they send you something too! Kinda like a modern day pen-pal... a pen-pal who gives you presents.

Today marks the first day of #28Kisses – where I will be wearing a different lip colour each day for the whole of February. Thankfully I have chosen the shortest month of the year, mainly because I am lazy, not because I don’t have enough lipsticks...
