Tanya Burr Soft Luxe Collection - Martha Moo Lipgloss

You may remember earlier this month I talked all about how I had made some new make-up purchases from Tanya Burr's range - her new collection was released AND it had some money off so I just couldn't say no to trying out something from one of YouTube's biggest names.

I previously talked about the eyeshadow quad - which for the price was a total bargain - now it's time to talk about the lip product I decided to try!

After briefly looking on Tanya's blog to have a sneaky look at the new collection I thought Martha Moo looked right up my street and being a matt finish it was a no-brainer - I had to try this out!

Being a huge fan of nudes and brown shades right now this looked like the least pink out of the range and the name was cute so... I was sold.
When the gloss arrived I was a little surprised to see it was still a little pink not as brown/nude as I had remembered the swatch but - it looked gorgeous!

The pigmentation is fabulous, a really rich bold colour - but the perfect shade for everyday wear. It's subtle and natural.
The formula is smooth and creamy, no stickiness at all and it also dries really quickly which is great - I hate having to wait for a liquid lipstick to dry!
Stay time - I'll be honest isn't as great as others I've tried but for the small price tag of £5.99 it's great - it stays on and doesn't go patchy or crusty which is a pet hate of mine!
I've been using it with MAC's Soar lip liner underneath and they go perfectly - my favourite everyday duo of the moment... I even wore it to Thorpe Park the other day!

6 Shades For Summer

With it being May already and those warmer months being just around the corner, I thought it was about time that I started talking SUMMER over here on A Yellow Brick Blog! (waits for round of applause and woop woop's all round)

Not long now and we'll be sipping cocktails in the sun, heading to Festivals, wearing dresses without god damn tights and whipping out those bright and bold lip shades!

When it comes to summer and sunshine I love rocking bright, fun shades and it's one of my favourite times to try out new products and splurge my dollar!

So here are 6 of the shades that I will be rocking for sure over the next few months!

Left to right :

Bourjois Aqua Laque - 06 Feeling Reddy

This is one of the newest products from Bourjois' range. After the awesome success of their Rouge Velvet collection they have bought out the gorgeous Aqua range. Shiny, glosses liquid lipstick with an amazing staying power! I just had to pick up this bright red shade for summer.

L'oreal L'Extraordinaire Liquid Lipstick - 401 Fuschia Drama

One of my ultimate favourites here. I bought this as soon as it was released and it has been in my most worn pile of products ever since then. I love fuschia shades and this liquid lipstick is gorgeous. I wear it at work alot and it stays on so, so well.

L'oreal L'Extraordinaire Liquid Lipstick - 201 Rose Symphony

You probably already saw me talking about it earlier this week, with an awesome offer available I couldn't not purchase this. The most subtle of the shades I've picked, this is perfect for everyday wear and great to wear with all those pretty florals we like to rock.

Rimmel Kate Moss Matte Lipstick - 110

A classic now. Rimmel's Kate Moss collection is my favourite drug store lipstick collection, hands down. This is a gorgeous matte coral - a bright shade to suit a number of different skin tones and great for a smaller budget.

MAC Lipstick - Candy Yum Yum

Now.... this is a BRIGHT one! Another matte product and another personal favourite of mine. I LOVE wearing this to festivals!

MAC Lipstick - Impassioned

Last but not least we have Impassioned, one of my favourite MAC products I own. This shade is like nothing else I own (and I'm not going to lie.. I own alot) which definitely helps it stand out in my collection. It's one of those shades that you can recognise on someone in a second, I don't think I'll ever get bored of pinks you know.

What are your favourite summer shades? I'd love to know your MAC top picks... I fancy treating myself for this upcoming season!

Get A L'oreal Liquid Lipstick Better Than Half Price!

If you read my blog/twitter/facebook etc you have probably noticed how much I LOVE a good bargain.
Sometimes I see an offer that is so good I just can't say no no matter how skint I may be.... this was one of those offers!

It was over a year ago now that I first blogged about the L'oreal L'Extraordinaire Liquid Lipsticks and how much I had fallen in love with them (see that glowing review - here) and since then my fuchsia drama baby has been used over and over again, becoming a regular in my make-up bag.

So seeing this HUGE saving on one of my favourite L'oreal products ever had me squealing with excitement.
The make-up giant has teamed up with the drinks giant that is Coca Cola - so at Boots now when you buy a 500ml bottle of diet coke you SAVE £5 on your liquid lipstick!
Bringing the usual £8.99 price tag down to just £3.99. (Cheaper than most drugstore lip products out there ya know AND you'll get points on your advantage card!)

I decided to go with the nice summery shade 'Rose Symphony' (201), seeing as we are soooo nearly there - summer is on the way people! This is a gorgeous pinky shade with a sight coral tint, the formula to these is amazing and I'm so happy I have another one added to my collection.... in fact... I feel like I should go back and take advantage of this offer while it lasts really!

(And yes.... we all know I don't actually like coke .... but Joe does so it's all good! It won't go to waste!)
This offer is valid in Boots stores nationwide from April 29th - 26th May!
