Layla Aurora: lipstick

Hello!

Today I am sharing the Freedom Pro Lipstick Kit in Vamp Collection. I bought this because it is only £5 and you get 5 lipsticks, which means it's only £1 a lipstick!

This is the first thing I've bought from Freedom, even though they're under the same company TAM which also owns my fave Makeup Revolution.

These are just normal lipsticks, and it's been a while since I bought any normal ones as I'm still obsessed with liquid lipstick to be honest. I've swatched all of these on my hand, and then I've done individual swatches on my lips, although they're a bit messy because I did them before I was about to go out haha.

Left to Right:

Vamp Noir

Dark Paradise

Pure Vamp

Intense Noir

Dusk Till Dawn

This first shade is Vamp Noir, and it's a really nice dark red, which is my favourite tone of red lipstick.

Then we have Dark Paradise, and I am in love!! I have a thing for purple lipsticks at the moment and it's nice to have an alternative to all of my matte ones.

Then we have Pure Vamp, which is quite a weird red shade to me, I thought it would be a much brighter red from the packaging, but it's not quite as bright as I expected it to be.

Then we have Intense Noir, which is another purple shade, but darker than Dark Paradise. I'm tempted to mix the two together and see how it looks.

Finally, we have Dusk Til Dawn, which is a dark pink shade. I'm not a fan of intense pinks because they don't look so good with my hair, but I know for sure a lot of people like pinks.

Overall, I think this kit is good because of the price, and the quality of these lipsticks is amazing for £1 each. However, I'm not sure that I would wear all of the shades. I know Freedom do another kit like this but with nude eyeshadows, so I might check that out as I would probably use those more.

If you wanna check this kit out, you can get it from TAM Beauty here,

Hello!

Today I am bringing you another Jeffree Star post!! I recently ordered Androgony and Virginity from Beautylish and I am in love, seriously. I already own Posh Spice, and I did buy Doll Parts but I sold it because I wasn't keen. If you missed my post on these, check it out here.

I have wanted Androgony for aaaages, and I was so excited when I saw it was available. If I manage to ge my mits on Scorpio, Unicorn Blood and Celebrity Skin, I'll be content. Virginty was the only shade from the summer collection that I was interested in, I wanted a really light, different lipstick, pretty much the same reason why I bough Marshmallow from Colourpop.

Virginity is a really pale pink shade, unlike anything else I own. The packaging is in the summer collection packaging, which is yellow and pink. It also smells like root beer, a lot nicer than the normal lipsticks! Besides that, the lipstick isn't different from the rest of his line, it dries down the ame and the doe foot is the same shape as the regular lipsticks. I actually feel a bit like a Barbie or something wearing this haha.

Androgony is a really popular shade from Jeffree Star. And I can see why! I've wanted this since last year, but I could never get hold of it because it sold out every time. But when I saw it on Beautylish, I knew this was my chance! This shade compliments my skin tone really well, and I feel, just like Posh Spice, I can wear this in a day time and a night time and it will suit most looks!

Overall, I am still very impressed with Jeffree's products. The lipsticks are a little bit drying, but they are matte! But they do mostly stay on throughout the day, unless you eat oily food. I'm really excited for the launch of the Lip Ammunition, and I'm even more excited to see if he launches another Christmas range this year! I will be sure to snap it up.

Let me know what you think of Jeffree Star Cosmetics!

Hello!

You may have guessed if you've read my blog before, that I am a big fan of NYX. Not only are they affordable, but they are also cruelty free. And now they are becoming more and more accessible in the UK via Boots, which is perfect!

I wanted to talk today about the Liquid Suede Lipsticks because I love them. So far I have 3 shades, Cherry Skies, Stone Fox and Vintage, but I am hoping to get Sandstorm, Soft Spoken and Kitten Heels soon, and then I will probably just get the other shades as and when.

They retail for £6.50, which I don't think is too bad for a liquid lipstick if I'm honest!

First off is Cherry Skies. This is a really nice deep red . As we are edging into Autumn ever so slowly now, I wanted more Autumunal lip shades, and I think this is going to look perfect with a cody jumper and beanie hat.

(Awful awful swatch, just wanted to give an idea)

Next up is the shade Vintage. I adore this. I think it suits me quite well, and I love that it is a more muted purple tone. Again, I bought this for Autumn, but I have been wearing this already and it is just amazing.

(This swatch is after having it on all day. I only had to reapply once, but that was after I'd been to a picnic and I'd eaten yogurt and eclairs and all sorts)

Lat but not least, we have Stone Fox. This was the first Liquid Suede that I bought, and I love it. I'm a huge fan of dark colours, and I thought this was quite unusual, although I do get the comments of "are you dead?" blah blah blah. I also enjoy mixing this with Marshmallow by Colourpop as I think it make a nice mid tone grey as well.

(By far the worst swatch, I was tired by this point, but you get the gist)

The wand on these is actually pretty cool, instead of being a doe foot, it is just long and flat. It can be hard to apply, you've just got to find the right angle.

I think these are amazing quality for the price, and the range of colours is fab. I would recommend these over the Soft Matte Lip Cream because I feel the Liquid Suede ones have a better colour pay off, for just £1 more.

Be sure to check these and NYX out if you haven't already, cause their stuff is pretty cool!

Hello!

Today I have a post on my lipstick collection.

This is just a post showing all of the lipsticks I own and what they look like. Some of these swatches are AWFUL because it really does take a lot of time to apply some of my lipsticks, but I just wanted to do this post to show you the colours, so don't judge me on my application, it's usually a lot better! These are in no particular order by the way.
