My Lipstick Collection

After a recent makeup clear out and updated storage organisation, I decided to pop a little post on here of my lipstick collection. I constructed a lipstick collection post a while ago, and since then I've accumulated a few more lipsticks - I think I actually have a few more since this I took these photos, but hey ho, let's get cracking!

I have a wide variety of colours and brands - my all time favourite being MAC. Something I did notice is that I actually don't own any red lipsticks! Shock horror! I have a red lip gloss, but none of the lipstick variety. If you girls would like to recommend to me your favourite red lipstick it would be much appreciated. I've got my eye on the Me Me Me lipstick in Ultimate Red, which I quite like. Also, used by Towie's Lydia.

Anyways, I'm digressing. Here are my lipsticks in all their glory;

So there we have it, my lipstick collection. My most used have to be MAC Creme Cup and MAC Shy Girl. Those are my all time favourite lipsticks. They're really wearable and seem to go with pretty much everything.

I'd love to see your lipstick collections! In fact, I tag you all to do it and then leave a comment with a link to your post. What are your favourite lipsticks?



YSL Arty Ring Lookalike

For many months I have craved to own my very own YSL Arty Ring.

However, just the thought of parting with the extortionate price these beauties retail at, sent a shiver down my spine. So, I just merely continued ogling over photos of them on their website. *Big sigh*

But, alas! After a casual eBay search, I just so happened to stumble across this baby;

 Practically identical to the YSL Arty Ring. The Brucey Bonus being that it cost me only a small fortune of £15.00.

If anybody is interested in buying themselves one, the eBay link is here.

I love it so so much!

The Perfect Peachy Pout

Being a beauty blogger, it's somewhat of a popular addiction when it comes to indulging in the latest lipstick.

There are many lipstick junkies amongst us bloggers - myself included! With a drawer full of nudes, pinks, corals and reds, I have been on the look out for the 'Perfect Peachy Pout' (as I have rightly named the title of this post).

Whilst in Newcastle on a recent Bloggers meet up, us girlies perused around the makeup counters like a pride of Lionesses prowling around their next prey. In bid to stumble across the Peach lipstick I have designed purely in my own mind. Every girl does it, right? Dreams up the perfect shade in their thoughts? Well, I most certainly do.

I finally caught sight of the YSL Rouge Volupte lipstick range, thank you to my lovely friend, Helen, who brought this beauty to my attention;

YSL Rouge Volupte - Peach Faubourg #30


This is the first, and probably only YSL lipstick I will invest in. Purely because of the whopping price of £22. Don't get me wrong - I love the colour and felt this was the reason I could justify spending this amount. I also think treating yourself every now and again is a good thing. But, I do think it is a hefty price for a lipstick alone.

I must say, my first YSL experience has been a very good one. Not only is the packaging and product amazing, and very expensive looking, the lipstick itself is fragranced with a melon scent. Pure delicious!

What do you girls think? Do you enjoy indulging in the more higher end brands? Or do you find them a waste of money? Or like me, do you occasionally like to treat yourself and have a healthy mix of higher and lower end brands?

I'd also love to also hear of any perfect peachy colours you've come across. One of my favourites is also MACs Shy Girl. A really lovely milky coral shade.
