Today I had a job interview at Boots. (Which I got! Super happy about). It's basically my everyday look however I went for something much more simple on the eye and less on the lips.

Products used: Bourjois healthy mix serum foundation, Maybelline brow pencil in dark blonde and a brown eye pencil from Barbara Daly (Don't know the shade), Maybelline Colour tattoo in shade Pink gold on the lid, Revlon colourstay liquid eyeliner, Blackout from Naked 2 palette over the top of the liner, Bourjois delice de poudre bronzer, and Clarins lip perfecter on the lips in shade 04. 

On my lid: Naked all over the lid, with Virgin on top for a slight shimmer. Crease: Buck. All eye shadows are from the Naked Palette. 

Liner: Maybelline's Gel Liner using an Elf Angled Brush to apply. I really like this gel liner as it's very smooth and easy to apply, lasting all day and creates the bold, dramatic look I prefer. First time using the brush so it didn't go exactly to plan however with time I'm sure I'll get better. 

Lashes: Bourjois Volumizer mascara. A really, really nice mascara. Really adds length and volume to my lashes especially the bottom ones. It's a two step mascara and one of my favourite mascara's.

Recently I have been buying quite a few lipsticks. Usually I stick to a nude lip such as Revlon's 'mauve it over' in the day time and a red lip on nights out, however I thought it would be nice to have some variety and give me the options. So, here is what I've bought ranging from least favourite at the start to most favourite at the end:




   















  My least favourite buy is the Revlon lip butter in shade 'Candy Apple'. Although I am a huge Revlon lover, I find this lip butter to not suit well to my lips. It does not stick to the inside of my lips, even after I've tried blotting and applying with my finger instead of straight onto my lips. I think the colour suits me ok and I really like the moisturising texture, however the application does not work for me. (All the lip butters are £7.99 from Boots however at the time of purchase, there was a 2 for £10 offer)




Next is Maybelline's coloursensational in Hollywood Red. I couldn't find this on the boots website however I'm pretty sure I bought this with an offer. There isn't anything bad about this product, the colour just doesn't suit me very well so I don't wear it very much. It's very smooth to apply and feels nice on the lips however I would say it's quite a blue-red so doesn't suit me very well.                                 
           






This shade is 'Strawberry Shortcake'. I really love the shimmer this lip butter gives out, it's not too much but just shows off your natural lips. I wanted there to be more colour as I wanted to try a light pink shade however there isn't enough as hoped. Still, I love the texture and would probably wear it if I was doing a strong eye look.
                                                              






















Lastly, my favourite purchase is the Revlon just bitten kissable lip balm in the shade 'Crush'. As I have very pale skin, I was a little worried that it would turn me into a vampire however I tried it the other day and instantly fell in love. It's more glossy than the swatch shows however is a gorgeous plum shade, and perfect for autumn/winter. It gives a slight tingle to the lips and I would make sure to exfoliate and prep the lips first, however even after the initial application has worn off it still leaves a lovely berry colour on the lips. (£7.99)
