B. Vibrant | Lip & Cheek Colour 099 'Alecia'

B. Vibrant Lip & Cheek Colour | 099 Alecia

B. Vibrant | 099 | £7.99

A wee beauty review for you today since my blog posts haven't been all that great recently due to the vast amount of Uni work I've had to do!

Being so Busy with school right now my make-up has been super simple, a dab of powder, blush, mascara and out the door but one full proof way to jazz up a simple days make up is defiantly a bright lip. It's simple, eye catching, and in my personal opinion looks awesome with just Mascara! 

So while in Superdrug, I was perusing the B. Cosmetics. I have used their skincare products in the past and been very impressed with the quality and the price so thought I would give their lipsticks a go. At the B. Cosmetics make-up stand I fell in love instantly with shade 099 'Alecia' a coral/pink/orange shade of the B.Vibrant Lip & Cheek Colour, not quite anything like I have already in my make-up collection. The application is smooth and very nourishing on the lips (so perfect for these chilly winter months) but needs blotting and quite a lot of touching up throughout the day. This stick doubles up as a cheek tint, it bends relatively well but, for me, this will be a lipstick product only.

This lip & Cheek colour is available from Superdrug at £7.99

Have you tried any other B. Cosmetic products??

What did you think of them?

That's All for now

Neon Summer Lips | The Body Shop 'Neon Pink'

Neon Pink Colourglide Lipstick

Shade: 59

'Neon Pink' (59) | £10 | The Body Shop

During the summer I really see no point on mounting on the slap, especially with extravagant eyes if its just going to slide off! My summer staple when it comes to summer is just a hint of mascara and a bright lip, Simple but effective! After wearing my fuchsia pink lipsticks to death last summer I was on the hunt for a pink with a little difference so I picked up 'Neon Pink' in the Body Shop's 'Colourglide' range. When I saw it  in the tube I was a little skeptical, but on the lips, it contrasts perfectly with my skin tone and has enough depth in the colour that it doesn't bridge the gap into 'tacky pink lips'. For £10, its not the most lasting lipstick and I do find myself having to reapply a few times during the day, but it is pretty moisturising so perfect for lips in need of a little TLC! Over the past few months I have turned to this lipstick again and again and has become a bit of a staple in my make-up bag. It is surprisingly versatile with outfits and looks amazing not only to brighten up a dark outfit, but also seems to work with pastels! I can't say The Body Shop is one of my favourite brands for make-up but this is defiantly a colour I can see myself re-purchasing in the future so brighten up those sometimes grey summer days!

Whats your favourite summer bright lipstick??
