New Favourite Lip Combinations

 When I was rummaging through my lip products during the week, I came across Revlon's Sugar Frosting lip butter and Topshop's Nevada lipstick. I haven't used either in a while for no reason other than I didn't think they worked to well on their own.

Sugar Frosting would be the lightest shade out of all the lip butters, resulting in it not being as pigmented. When I first got this I used it quite a bit, but then it found it's way back into my makeup drawer. I preferred the shades of the other lip butter I own like Macaroon and Candy Apple. While cleaning I spotted a Barry M limited edition lipgloss I got free with a Impulse body spray. As I got it as a gift, their doesn't seem to be a shade number, I looked on their website and it looks alot like Strawberry Milkshake. Together they both look gorgeous. A perfect pale pink combination for the Summer, it's like both these products were made for each other. I can see myself using both products alot as they will go with any look.  Another lip combination I've been loving is Topshop's Nevada and MUA's Out There plumping lipgloss in Nude. I loved Nevada lipstick when I first bought it but after a while I grew tired of it. It's a peachy nude shade that blanked out my lips and makes them look flat. I don't know about you but that's not the look I usually go for. I swept a bit of MUA's nude lipgloss on over it and it looks beautiful. For me it just lifts the colour a little, making it look more wearable. Being a plumping lipgloss I wasn't too sure about it at first. I've had quite bad experiences with these sort of products (Urban Decay's offering I'm looking at you), they've just really irritated my lips. This problem hasn't happened with MUA's lipgloss it slightly tingles but that's it.

Revlon's Sugar Frosting & Barry M lipgloss

It just shows a little bit of gloss can make all the difference. I don't think I would of used Sugar Frosting  or Nevada if I hadn't discovered these gorgeous products to go with them. I don't particularly like using gloss as it's a given that your hair can get stuck in it, but I really like these looks so I'll let that slide.

What's your favourite lipstick/lipgloss combination?

Barry M and Impulse Body Fragrance Team Up To Bring Out Limited Edition Packs

Cosmetic Brand, Barry M and Impulse Body Spray have launched Limited Edition Collection .There are 3 packs in total each contains a lip gloss exclusive to the body spray.








The body sprays included are as follows:

Into Glamour- This body spray smells sweet and fruity and I find that with all Impulse Body Fragrances a little goes a long way. This particular spray comes with a "clear sparkle" lip gloss and is the only pack I did not personally purchase I already have a full Into Glamour.

Tease- This fragrance has to be my favourite out of all Impulses Body Sprays. I love it and I can't say that enough. The tropical scent is ultra feminine, it contains a blend of pineapple and exotic wood scent.

A "nearly nude" lip gloss accompanies Tease in this pack. I really like this lip gloss as it's not as sheer as the lip gloss I got with "Very Pink".

Very Pink- This is one of the latest Impulse Fragrances, Very Pink is a fruity blend of vanilla and pink grapefruit. I haven't used this spray enough to tell if I like it yet so I'll keep you updated on this one.

The lip gloss called "Pale Pink" is a very sheer pink that doesn't really show up well on my lips but I think the lip gloss itself is very good quality.

The packs are a very reasonable €4.29 which I find amazing as a body spray itself is €3.19 which means your only paying a extra €1.10 for the lip gloss!


These products are available in Boots, Superdrug and Tesco for a limited time only.
