I know this may be a little late to post but I have officially bought all the shades of Kylie's Lipkit I want (unless she brings out another fab colour).



I want to do the cliché thing of talking you through how I got my hands on these must-haves.
 The first two, I bought back in February was just luck. I was on the bus coming back from work and my friend Keira had texted me saying they were sold out. I clicked on the page just to make sure as I always failed at timings before, luckily they were still on sale so I popped Posie K and Koko K in my basket. I was super excited as the transaction went through and that was that. About three weeks later, my order was delivered with no issue. I have worn Koko K every time I have gone out.

The second time when I tried to get my hands on more, was when her glosses came out. I put a few in my basket and within 30 seconds of trying to finish it, it told me it sold out. I wasn't too disappointed but it was just annoying!

Then a few weeks ago I finally found out the time of when they went on sale like I said I have worn Koko K so much I was getting kind of bored. So I set my alarm and stayed up to get them. I live in the UK so I stayed up until 11, I know 11 big wows, But I am just a granny and I am normally tucked into bed at 10! 
Anyway, 11 came and with great anticipation, I added two to my basket. I purchased  Exposed and Candy K. Placed the order and I have been tracking them for OVER two weeks. Although it took two days to get to London from Los Angeles, it took over two weeks to finally arrive. Unfortunately, this time,  I had a £16 handling fee. I wasn't that bothered as the last time I didn't but it still sucks to pay.

I think my collection is just the perfect set of nudes and pinks.
Each kit, as you will know, comes with a lip liner, the lip liners apply very smoothly as they have a creamy texture. Some people love that but as I have mentioned I have quite small lips so I find drawing or filling my lips easier with Mac liners, which are harder. They are great products and give great colour. 


Left to Right; Posie K, this colour was a lot darker than I thought it was going to be. I think it is to do with my skin colour, I have pale skin so it stands out more. I also find it harder to wear because of that,  as you can see where I filled in my lips. If I have fake tan on I think I can pull it off.

Koko K;  If you Follow me on Instagram then you'll see that every 'selfie' that I take I hashtag 'Koko K'. It has worked its way to my favourite ever lip product, to the point it's getting boring. I still adore the colour, and I feel I will definitely be repurchasing.

Candy K; This shade was always on my next shade to buy list, as you can see it is a shade darker than Koko but lighter than Posie. I am excited to wear this out, I think it is a super wearable everyday colour.

Exposed; When Kylie brought out this shade I had to get it, it seemed like the perfect nude.
However, now that I own it I feel it is a lot more orangy than I first thought. I am still excited to wear this, but it seems like a different colour on my skin.
I like the colour of this liner more than I do the Lipstick, which I suppose isn't a bad thing.



 Overall, I love the kits. The consistency, I find, is great, maybe a little bit drying for the lips. However, I lick my lips a lot, so something that holds onto to my lips is great. The colour is highly pigmented and like I said have a great staying power.
Since the first order I placed they have changed the brush, it is a lot smaller than it was before. For me, it doesn't matter but I know some people had complained. 
Price wise, I think it is great, you are getting a liner and lipstick for somewhere around £33 with shipping and if you get it, the handling free. 
Do I think people buy it because it's Kylie Jenner, YES 100%, do I think there are dupes out there, yes? But I think for what it is, they are fab products! 

Let me know if you have bought any and what was your experience? 
What is your favourite shade?

Hey everyone sorry I haven't been as active as I was last year, I have lack motivation and I have had a writers block. January and February are quite boring months so I wasn't sure what to write. But after having a look through my blog, one of my favourite posts from last year was 'Top Five For Lips'.
Reading through I have realised my lip collection has expanding majorly and I have a whole new set of lips products that I have loved. 
This time however, I have an awkward number in 7! I can't decide between these so I am including them all. Little fact about me, my favourite number is 7 so it kinda makes me happy.  Enjoy.


Number one has to be Kylie Jenner's lip kit in the Shade Koko K.
It was top of my list when this new shade came out to purchase  and I am so happy with it. The colour itself has to be one  my favourite lip shades. I think it works very well with my skin tone. 
I love how it applies to lips and also how long it lasts! Props to Kylie on her new products!!

YSL Glossy Lip Stain No.17  After being totally obsessed with the YSL packaging and wanting to get my hands on their products, I was super exited to find this. This colour is a pretty baby pink and with my obsessed with pink lips (as you will see ) I am completely in love!
It is a bit brighter to be classed as a nude, but I find it very easy to wear on an everyday basis.
I will say after buying the KJ lip kit I have realised it doesn't stay on as long but still amazing!

Mac Frost in 'Angel' I actually picked this up in an make-up outlet in Florida back in July and have been in love ever since. I tend to stick to the pink nude lipstick and this ticks all the boxes. 
It works well my skin tone even though I have pale skin, and gives a gorgeous natural lip for an everyday make-up look. This is a perfect shade for me if I am going to work. 
It has to be one of my favourites Mac lipsticks!!

Mac Patent Polish Lip Pencil 'Make Me Proud'  Again a very natural pink nude shade. I actually seen this whilst in Paris back in October in Sephora but unfortunately it was sold out, so my sister Sarah found it in the UK and gave me it as a Christmas gift this year!! 
It is very similar to Angel but it is a lot more glossy and gives a great shine!! 
Similarly, it is perfect for an everyday look!

Mac Creme-sheen 'Naked Proof'  Just like Angel I picked up this up in the Outlet in Florida! This was part of a set which I believe was by Rebecca Moses a few years ago!
I wasn't sure if I was gonna love this product or not. It isn't majorly  out my comfort zone but I normally go with pinks, where as this is more off a coral shade. 
I normally pair this with the liner that came in the kit, Boldly Bare, Which I absolutely love. 

Bobbi Brown Art Stick 'Dusty Pink'  If you had read my last post you'll know that Bobbi Browns Pale Petal is my all time favourite shade!! But I wanted to find the matte shade rather than a Gloss and I did!! Like the last two I found this in the Outlet and it is ideal. 
It might be a shade darker but it is perfect. If I want a basic make-up look but not a nude lip this is what I reach for!! It stays on my lips for a long time and gives great colour!! 

And lastly, Dior Addict Lip Maximiser  Like I have mention before I have pretty small lips, but I have really done anything to them. Except now, I haven't really believed in Lip Plumper or anything like that! Why would anyone want to sting there lips?  But this has changed my mind. It has made a small difference in my lips. I know that gloss itself makes lips look better but I feel it does it job! It feels nice on my lips and gives me a bit more confidence. 

Let me know what your favourite Lip Products are? Also let me know what kind of posts you want me to post!! Would be much appreciated!

I was never a big lipstick fan, I was always a lipgloss kinda girl. I think it is due to the fact I have pretty small lips and since the whole 'Kylie Jenner Lip Craze' took of it became more difficult to feel comfortable with small lips. Yes I played into the media/society hands.
But I guess now I am not really bothered and I have to embrace my small lips.  *laughing emoji*. I have built up a collection of lipsticks/lipgloss so here is my Top Five.
From Top- Bottom: Miley Cyrus Viva Glam, Tanya Burr 'Aurora',
Topshop 'Chuck', Topshop 'Innocent', Bobbi Brown Pale Petal 
Viva Glam 
MAC Miley Cyrus Viva Glam. When Miley released her Viva glam line at Mac, I had to buy.I purchased both the lipstick and lipglass. I have to be in the right mood for the lipsick which is why the Lipglass is Number 1. It is a super fun colour yet it is not too bright. I do like natural shades but this is perfect to throw on, on a great day. It has a high shine and as it is quite sticky it stays on for a long time. I really need to pick up more Mac Lipglass.


Aurora 


Tanya Burr Aurora. The name in its self so so pretty. I purchased this when her line came out last year. It is a coral pink colour with sparkles. It is not to sticky on my lips but it last a long time. It gives a good shine, I wear it when I go out but I can also wear it everyday. It is super pretty colour, not to mention it smells yummy.   I am super proud of Tanya.



Topshop 'Chuck'. I mention this in my April Favourites. I really love this shade. It isn't particularly a shade I would always go for but I am branching out. I would say this is a perfect shade for going out at night, I think it is as close as I am going to get to wearing Red. I would highly recommend.


Topshop' Innocent   '. Is the newest shade I have bought. But it is becoming one of my favourites so I have to mention it. I think this shade is a perfect shade for the summer. It is a super cute pink, it is quite bright yet still a neutral colour.  I extremely love how creamy this is. I would definitely think that Topshop is make-up is somewhat underrated.


Bobbi Brown 'Pale Petal.' Last but certainly not least. This has to be my all time favourite lipstick. My sister bought it for me a few Christmases ago and as you can see I am using it to death. It is really easy incorporating it in any make-up look. It is however a perfect cute pink/nude for everyday. It is a very subtle colour which I love. I will 100% be repurchasing when it is done.

I would say I have a pretty simple skincare routine! I know that I should take more time with my skin as it is super important. I am getting more into the habit now so I thought I would share. 

My morning and evening routine are pretty much the same, the only thing different is that in  the mornings the  I tend to splash my face with cold water, 1. to get any sleep off my face and 2. to waken me up. A 5'oclock start 100% needs a good 'wake me up' in the morning. 

I then use my Peaches and Clean cleanser. I use this to take my make up off, but I also use it in the morning just to get rid of any dirt that I haven't gotten off the night before, making my face feel clean. I did a full review about this here. I have been using it for four months and still loving it. 

 I then use are  Clearasil Ultra Rapid Action Pads wipes. This helps with my break out. I wipe it over my face just to make sure all make-up is off. It makes my face feel fresh. 
In the morning I do the same as it again makes my face feel fresh and clean. I would hugely recommend these. I did forget how great these are. They are really cheap yet really amazing for my skin. 

Next I use my Nip and Fab Viper Venom serum Gel.  This is too help with wrinkles. I'm not partially at the age for a lot of wrinkled but I do feel my forehead is bad. This  has viper venom to stop wrinkly. I guess it a prevention. 

The last thing I use is the Nip and Fab  Viper Venom Eye Gel. Just for under eye wrinkles. I do this both morning and night. I feel in the morning it helps my make-up set under the eye and helps waken me up. 
Both Nip and Fab products are recent purchases and for now I am super happy. 

I will add my  moisturiser in lastly as I don't use it all the time. I really only use  moisturiser before putting on make-up and I use either Boots Skin Clear Oil Free Mattifying Lotion or Olay. The boots lotion is very cheap and affordable and is the best lotion I have found for my skin. 

I know that I could expand my skincare routine extremely but I'm timid about it. 
The next product I'm looking at are different kind of serum?? Let me know if you have any good serums for combination skin?! 

Hope you are having a great day!!
