Drugstore Nude Lipstick Collection



Nude lipsticks are currently my favourite lipsticks to wear. Since we are in summer, I prefer to wear lipsticks that look more natural and are easier to wear as you do not have to keep on topping it up throughout the day and wondering if you have gotten lipstick on your teeth.

Maybelline Colour Sensational- Nude Beige

This is my absolute favourite lipstick of all time. If I'm wearing a natural nude lip it is probably this. It has a little bit of sheen to it but not too much that it looks like a gloss. It is one of the most comfortable lipsticks I have , it lasts forever (especially if you use a lip liner) but it does not fade awkwardly on the lips that you have that horrible line around your lips. Would totally recommend this product!







Rimmel Kate Moss lasting finish - 08

I am surprised that this lipstick has not been talked about in the beauty blogging world at the moment. This is the perfect lipstick for the dark nude 90's trend that everyone is raving about . This is a matte finish lipstick but it is not drying on the lips at all. This is a dupe for the MAC lipsticks that everyone has this summer but at the fraction of the price.



New Look Pure Colour - Deep Pink

This is more on the pink nude scale rather than the other lipsticks as the name suggests. Last summer this was my everyday lipstick but my colour sensational replaced it. It is slightly drying on the lips and does not last as long but for £3.99 you really cannot complain.







Max Factor - Rose Wood
This is my least used nude lipstick that I have. It is a very shiny lipstick which I tend to find does not suit me as much. However it is a very comfortable lipstick and I think it would suit someone of a darker skin tone than fair skin.



Sleek Matte Me - Shabby Chic
This is one of the most recent new releases that I have. I was really excited when these came out as I am a massive fan of Sleek and I love liquid lipsticks. However, I was really disappointed with this product.In the bottle it looks like a really pink nude but when it dries it is very dark which does not suit my skin tone at all. Unlike regular liquid lipsticks, this does not dry completely which makes a very sticky feeling on the lips. After a couple of hours, this becomes far too dry which makes you take it off as it is very uncomfortable. I have not tried other lipsticks in this range and with liquid lipsticks, formulas tend to change but I would not recommend this product at all.

Sleek Highlighter Pallete Review




Everyone has been talking about the new highlighter palettes from Sleek. They are one of the most beautiful highlighters I've ever seen and even nikkietutorials loves them and that's saying something because she is the queen of highlighters.

Solstice Pallete 


This is the one that everyone is talking about and I know why! There is one cream colour which I have to admit I have nor used much.But the three powders are the most pigmented . The one I have used the most is the pink undertoned highlighter as it gives the most natural effect. Another tip is double this up as a blush to give a glowy look to the skin. The golden tone highlighter is the most pigmented one and if you want to blind someone with your highlighter this is the one for you. Because I prefer a more natural highlight I blend it with my foundation brush so that I don't blind everyone. The lilac toned one is the most fun and I think it would be great if you are going to a festival to add something different to your cheeks.This palette is perfect for fair skin and for being on the high street it is one of the most affordable highlighter pallets on the market.

Precious Metals Pallete 

 This is the highlighter palette you want if you have a darker skin. Three of the colours are cream and the last one is a powder. I use the lightest cream as a brow bone highlight but you do have to blend it in a lot so that it is more natural. The other creams I do not use but that is because I have a fairer complexion but I think that it would look beautiful for those with a darker skin tone. The powder highlight in this palette can be used as a bronzer to give you a bronzed glowy look.
