My Top 5 Pinky-Nude Lipsticks

 A bit of a different post today than my normal reviews, here I have picked out my top 5 pinky nude lipsticks. I don't really wear just nude lipsticks I tend to lean more towards a pinky nude because otherwise I look so washed out! So I actually seemed to do this in order of opaqueness, I did this totally by accident but I think it worked quite well.

Seventeen Mirror Shine Lipstick-Belle-£4.79

 This first lipstick is by Seventeen, I picked this out because of the gorgeous deep pink shade but it came out as a sheer wash of colour. This one I'll pick when my lips are feeling dry or flaky because the texture is so creamy and it's almost like a gloss in lipstick form. I don't actually have much of this left but when I run out I would definitely go out and get it again. It also comes with a little mirror too which is great for on the go application!

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain-Honey-£7.99

 Next up is this Balm Stain by Revlon, it's sort of like the chubby sticks by Clinique or you could compare it to a crayon you might have used in nursery. When I first got it, it was easy to use because the end was a sharper point but now it's a flat stub, that might just be because of the way I apply my lipstick though. It's a bit more pigmented than the Rimmel Mirror Shine Lipstick but again quite a sheer hydrating lipstick, great just to whack on without a mirror or quickly before heading out the door.

Seventeen Supreme Shine Lipstick-Barely Blush-£4.99

 Apparently Seventeen do good pinky nude lipsticks as I have two! This is such a lovely light pink nude and the price is so good for the quality of this lipstick, it has a medium pigmentation so not too sheer that's it's more like a gloss but just enough to make it a lipstick. Great if you want a hint of colour and again very creamy and easy to apply.

Mac-Brave-£15.50

 This is probably my favourite of the whole bunch, I have only had it a few months and it's already looking a bit on the low side, it has great coverage so definitely an opaque lipstick and the colour is a lovely shade of light rose pink. It is slightly matte but not drying on the lips at all, in fact it feels very buttery on the lips.

Stila Liquid Lipstick-Patina-£15.00

 Finally a liquid lipstick by Stila, great staying power as it goes on wet and then dries very matte and it does not budge after that, it doesn't even lose any of its colour throughout the day which is great! This is almost more of a mauve pink nude colour and some days it looks more mauve than pink, I think it depends what make-up you are wearing with it. I love this is if I don't want to be reapplying lipstick throughout the day the only problem with it is that the shade is almost always sold out, so keep a sharp eye out for it!

Those are my top 5 pinky-nude lipsticks, any lipsticks you recommend I try?

My February Faves

February flew by, could be down to the fact it's the shortest month of the year but I just felt like I had hardly blinked before February was gone.

I'll start with my two skincare favourites:
First I have the Clinique Sonic System Purifying Cleansing Brush, wow what a mouthful! I got this for my birthday and the timing couldn't have been better. I had been breaking out a lot and also getting very flaky dry patches on my skin, within two uses I noticed a difference in my skin. It was no longer bumpy and my dry patches were disappearing dramatically. I just love how clean this keeps my skin and my skin has been clearing up really well. I use this with my Liz Earle cleanser and they work very well together.

Secondly I have the very famous Serozinc spray from La Roche-Posay, I don't really know what this does to my skin but it just seems to calm down any breakouts and it's a nice boost of hydration added into my skincare routine. It's a little miracle product and I wouldn't be without it now it's available in the UK.

Moving onto make-up, I discovered this sample Lorac Pro Primer stored in my draws and thought it was good for traveling about so thought I would give it a go and try and use it up. I was pleasantly surprised by this little wonder and it it is so creamy on my dry lids and it's slightly pigmented so it masks the tiny veins I have on my eye lids. I also use a little under my lids to help rid of any dark circles. I might end up picking the full size version although it's only available in the US.

An old fave now, but I can't go without my Charlotte Tilbury filmstar bronze and glow anymore I just adore the bronze shade and although I don't think it's amazing for sculpting cheekbones on my face shape it's just a wonderful bronzer and using it as a bronzer seems to lift my face more than if I use it under my cheekbones as contour.

My new obsession is this lip combo, Mac Brave and Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector in 05,  neither of these cling to my dry lips too badly and I love the natural pinky nude shade that this combo gives me.
