Top 5 Autumn/Winter Lip Products ♥

After posting my Autumn/Winter Nail Polishes, I wanted to follow it up with a lip post as well as I think that it is a great thing to mix or even match up your lip and nail colours and that is exactly what I am going to show you. There are so many lip trends this season, from berry's to deep reds and something everyone can pull off - the nude lip. All swatches are at the end of this post. 

First up is a lip gloss from 2True that I blogged about a while back, this is a lovely plum colour from 2True in shade 16/Plum and when applied to the lips comes off very sheer with a slight hint of plum colour. This is quite a sticky formula but after a while wears off and leaves your lips looking amazing. 

Next up is a lipstick that I received in my Birchbox last month, this is a matte nude lipstick with a slight pink tint and I love the final matte finish off it. This is in the shade Kitty and it is great for everyday and the night as it goes with everything and anything.

How could I not mention a lip butter in this post? This is Berry Smoothie and is very sheer with one coat and then when you put more coats on the colour builds up and it appears more berry like. This is a shimmery butter so when on the lips it looks great and anyone can pull this colour off. As far as formula goes it is so silky on the lips and easy to apply. 

This is the darkest shade of all from MUA in Shade 1 this is a cherry red colour and this is best for people with medium skin tones as it can be very overpowering if you carry on applying it layer after layer. It also has tones of purple in it which is weird yet works really well. This is great if you wear it with neutral make up and your lips will be the statement piece of the whole look. Also, what can go wrong with a lipstick that is only £1!! Bargain..

Finally. is one that I only blogged about a few weeks or even over a month ago now. Since then I haven't stopped wearing it because this is a deep berry lip gloss/stick/balm/ stain. The pigment in this thing is amazing and just like the rest after layering it up you can really get a deep coloured lip, it does apply sheer and is more than wearable for everyone.

Here are some swatches of the products in the order you have just seen them in above, on the left it taken with the flash on and the right is without. I decided to do with flash and without because it really makes a difference when you wear it and the lighting around you. 

2True Be Clear 4 Foundation,Concealer + Powder Review ♥

Hello' This is the final part of the 2true reviews! Today I bring you the face products that I have received in my goodie bag/box. I have never tried anything from the face range that 2True have to offer yet alone the Be Clear 4 range that they have introduced. Each of the products also claim to do certain things to your skin so I was very excited to use and review! I tested these out for a few days before writing this and I am currently still using one of the 3 products in my everyday make-up routine. 

First up is the foundation, this is in 'Shade 1' the lightest shade of the all the foundations they have. The products says that it

- 'controls shine'

- gives a 'matter finish'

- is a 'mineral complex'

- and is 'lightweight

I don't have really oily skin, so I didn't really see a difference in shine but it gave me a really matte finish which I wasn't used to - however I really loved it. It looked really nice on the skin and is very medium coverage. The foundation feels very lightweight, you can build up the colour yet you still feel like there isn't nothing on your face.

As you can see, shade 1 is very light on me! As far as I am aware there is only one shade for this product, which is a disappointment as I love the finish and formula. After blending it in on my hand I thought that the product may work on my face, which would mean that I could work with it. The product is very creamy and easy to blend in. I put it on one side of my face and it was too light; so I mixed it in with a foundation that I have that it is two dark for me and hey presto! It looked perfect! 

Next is the concealer, again this is also in 'shade 1' this is just like any ordinary stick concealer that rolls up after taking off the lid. This concealer is also a very creamy and easy to blend. I was also afraid after using the foundation that it may be light, however I managed. 

The concealer says that it - 

-Conceals, 

-Moisturises 

- Conditions with Vitamin E

-It also contains antibacterial agents

To say this was shade 1, it was much more lighter than the foundation. After blending two shades of foundation on my face, and then using this concealer it covered and concealed most of my blemishes. The little spots could still be seen, it did however last all day and stay covered after being set.

And finally the powder, which is also shade 1 just like the rest! I have recently been on the hunt for a new pressed powder and I know think I have found it. It promises the same things as the foundation 

he products says that it

- 'controls shine'

- gives a 'matter finish'

- is a 'mineral complex'

- and is 'lightweight

I wore this on a hot day when I was bound to get oily and this definitely controlled the shine and oil that surfaced on my skin. It also helped keep my skin matte all day, which I loved and have fallen in love with a matter look over dewy. 

I THINK I MAY BE IN LOVE. This powder is the perfect shade for my skin and is the best match compared to the other two face products. It feels so lightweight and smooth on the skin and really completes your face. The texture is very soft and it is just perfect; this is now my everyday powder as it looks great morning and night - all day long. 

2True you have impressed me so much! I will be mixing the foundation and concealer with my current uses to get that perfect shade and well the powder is a product I can't live without. All these are so budget friendly and won't hurt my purse.

2True Mascara's Review ♥

Here is the second part to the 2True reviews! Today I share with you the mascara's that came in the package, one is a standard waterproof mascara and the other is a glitter mascara. I haven't actually tried any of the mascara's from the range before, which makes this more of a honest review as I am not being biased towards whether or not I love the product.
I was looking forward to trying out both these mascara's because I have never used a glitter mascara before or a mascara for volume as I wear glasses, it can sometimes prove difficult.

First of all packaging, the glitter mascara is a very small bottle, with a lot of product inside. The WOW! mascara is your average sized mascara bottle in this electric blue colour which really makes it stand out.

This WOW! mascara is part of their pro range, which means that it is slightly more expensive and a much better quality. The mascara claims to 'give wow effect lashes without clumping or flaking' it is also a volume water proof mascara.  It doesn't clump together on the eye nor does it flake, however I don't think that their is a lot of volume their. It is for sure waterproof, as I water tested it and nothing ran until after a great deal of time. This would be great as a everyday mascara because you can wear it without it looking like too much is going on. 

The brush is a decent size, but the product does collect towards the end of the brush. On the other hand, the tip of the brush is easy to use on the bottom lashes as you can really get them stubborn ones. There is a weird scent to this mascara, I can't describe it - it just smells funny. 

Now for the second one, this is a glitter mascara.The small bottle may confuse some but there seems to be a lot of product compacted into this small area. The bottle is such a cute size, and there is a star pattern under the lid that is adorable! I didn't know what to expect for this product, as I have never had a glitter mascara before or even thought about putting glitter on my eyelashes. It seems like a great deal of glitter product comes onto the brush however you need to give it a good couple of coats before you can really see the glitter. 

The small wand is a big  advantage as you can get into those horrible little corners that you can never apply mascara to! Again, a very funny smell to the product..I don't mean to smell it but it is just the way I go! I think this would be great to give an evening look some sparkle and glitter! 

I didn't think that I would be that impresses with either of these products, but I am! Will be using these now in my everyday make-up routine.

2True Lipgloss & Nail Polish Review ♥

I received a few products from a 2True goody bag, and thought that you guys would like to see a review on it all. 2True is a budget brand that is available to buy online and instore at superdrug, I used to buy lip products from this brand but nothing else..so when I had all this stuff given I was beyond excited!
I will be splitting up the reviewing into three sections - Lips + Nails, Eyes and then Face products, I find it easier to review in little bits, rather than bombarding you guys with lots of information and photos. On that note lets get into today's section 'Lips + Nails.

As I said above, I have used a few lip products from the 2True range and I have always loved them. The two lip glosses  that I received are definitely two shades that I never would have picked myself; so I was very excited!

These two shade are gorgeous and look great as a combo! I love layering these two on top of one another for a glitter sparkly look. 'No 16/Plum' is a really nice deep purple colour that looks for nude on the lips than plum, which makes it nicer to wear in the day and at night. 'No6/Rose Pink' which is the number on the back, however the image on Superdrug makes it look more like a pink that a clear that I can see.Regardless, it is also a lovely sparkly colour that looks great on its own and over the top of something else.

As you can see the colours are really pigmented, and this isn't even on my lips! And the packaging is very cute as well and it very compact. 

Now for nail polishes, these two are such a good match! In fact I love that everyone matches together so well. I was very interested in using these nail polishes, because I had never tried them before and know I want to try more! The first is a gorgeous big chunked glitter that looks amazing at night. And the second is from their 'Pro' range, and is a Hi shine finish - similar to the BarryM Gellys. 

The pink polish was very thick, I didn't realise that It would be a big struggle. But for next time I know that I need to apply very thin coats to build up the colour as it is a pale/pastel colour. 

The glitter, is amazing! The mix of little chunks and big chunks of glitter makes it a perfect go to glitter. I never like putting glitter on it owns, or even on all my nails as glitter is a pain to get off. The advantage of this glitter being in a little bottle, is that the little brush made it easier for the glitter to spread over my nail.

I am loving all the 2True stuff so far and can't wait to use the rest and review it! I reccomend all these products to you guys out there. And they are so budget friendly as well. WIN WIN,
