MeMeMe Lip Glide Velvet Finish Lip Colour - Winter Berry

Hello you lovely lot! I've got a smashing make-up review today for you all.... I feel like I haven't done anything make-up based in forever (it's been a week...) so I'm actually really excited to be writing this!
I'm feeling quite jolly, can you tell?

It's been a while since I talked about MeMeMe cosmetics... but that doesn't mean they haven't been in my life. The Flawless concealer has got to be in my top 3 concealers that I use and my boxed blush has found it's way back out now the sun is shining.

Now to talk about the new product on the block - Lip Glide.
MeMeMe Lip Glide's are their new range lip crayons. 
 I am a HUGE fan of lip crayons, especially at this time of year. They are so easy to put on and the ones I've used have also had great pigmentation and fab stay time.

The lip glides are a chunky pencil design, like a lip liner but a whole lot bigger, these are made with just the perfect thickness to make application precision easy peasy - even for us clumsy make-up users. 

This is perfect for me, it's so easy to fill the lips in and it's a million times quicker than a lip liner, plus you don't even have to use another products alongside it!
I mean you can, this is fab to pop on underneath your lipstick or gloss but it's a bold stand alone shade too, with amazing wear-ability and long lasting effects - they've called it the 'new generation of colour.'

The shade I have here is Winter Berry. Yes you may be thinking - but it's summer? Berry shades are sooo last season but I would say no! I love wearing dark lips all year round. I think they look great with bright florals and summer outfits!

I LOVE this shade, it reminds me of MAC's Rebel (one of my all time favourites) and I have been wearing it ALOT! If you've seen a photo of me lately with dark lips, 9 times out of 10 it was probably this! It's so smooth and doesn't dry out the lips out all #winning
With of 5 different shades to choose from and a gorgeous velvet finish these are a definite hit for all beauty lovers. They are priced at £6.95 each which I think is a great price - personally I prefer it to everyones favourite lip crayon from Bourjois AND they are cheaper! You can find out more - here.

Kirstie's Top Picks For Purple Lipsticks

Right now I am LOVING lipsticks - I actually cannot get enough. Well I've always loved lipsticks but the amount  I have bought over the last couple of months is both staggering and worrying!
 I don't think I will ever have too many in my collection! A colour that keeps appearing in my "most used" is one I'd never really worn until this year and that is.... purple.
I am loving purple shades, from bright funky violets to deep sultry purples, I have found them to be some of my most reached for at the moment!
 So I've picked out a few of my personal favourites to share with you all...

1. Sleek True Colour - Mystic
2. Collection, Little Mix - Perrie
3. Barry M - 156
4. MAC - Rebel
5. Rimmel Moisture Renew - Dark Night Waterl-oops!
6. Rimmel Kate Moss - 04


1. Sleek True Colour - Mystic : If you've read my blog recently you may have seen my blog post on this lipstick! I bought it on a trip to London back in September and have been wearing it ALOT. It is a gorgeous bright violet purple and for more pictures check out my post on it here.

2. Collection Little Mix - Perrie : Now I was after this lipstick for weeks and weeks, my local Superdrug doesn't stock the LM Collection and it was sold out online *big sad face* - but when I spotted it last week back in stock on the Superdrug website - that was it, mine! I'm so pleased I managed to get hold of it aswell as I love it, a total bargain at only £2.99, I'm so impressed. I wore it last weekend to my best friend's wedding party and it stayed on so so well - check out a photo here!

3. Barry M - 156 : You all know I'm a massive fan of Barry M lip products - their lipsticks and glosses are some of my favourite and most used ever! I included this one in my Beauty Buys Of The Week a couple of months ago and have been loving it! (Not sure why it looks so pink in the swatch.... as you can see in the tube it in't that pink!)

4. MAC - Rebel : I've been eyeing this beauty up for months and finally decided to splash out the £15 for it! So many of you will be owners Rebel and I know why - this is so easy to wear and being a MAC lipstick the forumla is gorgeous! I love their lipsticks so much... I just wish I could afford more of them! I highly recommend it!

5. Rimmel Moisture Renew - Dark Night Waterl-oops! : This was mentioned in my October Favourites post - the new Rimmel Moisture Renew lipsticks are incredible! They are so thick and pigmented - the swatch above was just one light swipe of this beauty, they are flawless! I cannot wait to buy more of them!

6. Rimmel Kate Moss - 04 : I have some good news and some bad news about this one - Bad news....I believe it has been discontinued BUT good news I purchased it from Fragrance Direct and it was only £1.99!!  Absolute Barry Bargain! The Kate Moss lipsticks are amazing, if you own any of them you will know how great they are, I can't believe this one isn't available anymore - it is a tragedy! If you are looking for a really dark dark purple - this is the one for you!

Have you tried any of these purples? Have you got any shades you recommend?

Before I go I have a quick favour to ask from you beautiful lot - if you could head on over to facebook and "like" this photo for my best friend too help her win the Jones & Jones comp - I will owe you one :)
