Maybelline Color Sensation.

We all have that last minute shopping that we undertake before we head off for a few days or a few weeks and one of my favourite "last minute" buys before I headed to Rhodes on 24th July was Coral Pearl 852 and Pink Hurricane 165 which are both from the Color Sensational Maybelline Collection.

The lipstick collection itself has 5 separate categories, these are the reds, plums, pinks, pearls and nudes.

I purchased 165 for myself and 852 for my Mum ( you will see below that my Mum adores this lipstick ) at £7.19 each. 

The swatch (below) on the left is Pink Hurricane 165 and the swatch on the right is Coral Pearl 852. 

165 has a warmer undertones that 825 however both are not massive statement pieces and are ideal for everyday use. The lipsticks are only slightly pigmented and both have a lovely shimmer after application. However due to the slight pigment they do need to be re-applied once or twice throughout the day. 

It is also nice to purchase an item that smells good. The smell of these Maybelline lipsticks reminds me personally of  coco butter/chocolate, they smell so good!

Have you purchased any Maybelline Lipsticks? Maybe from this collection, maybe from another? 

What has been your Summertime lipstick of this year?

Our Week in Photos - 4

So this week we decided to update you on Friday as we will be packing over the week for LONDON! B's Uncle lives in London and has allowed us to stay Monday to Friday, therefore we have set ourselves a challenge, London is the big city and we have so much planned each day that we are going to do "Our day in London in photos" each day to keep you all updated as there will be photos galore. Our faces will be revealed, you will finally see the two that run this account!

So this week's photos.

We experimented this week with clashing patterns (stripes and daisy) and teamed it as a casual look with natural hair and a clear lip gloss. Turn up jeans are still a popular trend and worn out Vans or Converse are perfect to team with them, the "worn out" effect is also a classic look. 

We have both finished our A-Level exams, finally. So here is a snap of our last revision notes and a doodle amongst them representing our minds being blagged and our concentration amongst the clouds! 

However smiley faces all round and time to celebrate! 

How have your exams been? Has your Summer started yet? 

What are your plans for the Summer? Are you going away or visiting a big city? 

Let us know, 

Love 

M&B
