Charlotte Tilbury K.I.S.S.I.N.G. Love Bite Lipstick

Holy Moly! Look what I finally own - a Charlotte Tilbury lipstick! 

I have been drooling over these from a distance for months now and I was incredible lucky to actually WIN one earlier this month! (I know, lucky right?)
From the moment I laid eyes on this I was in love - slightly emotional about a lip product I know - but everything from the packaging to the finish is just gorgeous.
 Charlotte Tilbury has slowly, over the last few years, become a brand which every beauty lover wants to get their mitts on - me included.
This is one of the lipsticks from her signature lipstick range - K.I.S.S.I.N.G. - a collection of 11 shades curated with modern and classic icons in mind.

Everyone needs a classic red lip and although I own more red lip products than I can count, this shade is something special! I'd probably even go as far as to say it's the perfect pillarbox red - great for near enough every skin tone.
(Opps dodgey fading fake tan alert...#sorry!)

Creamy, rich, highly pigmented and super long-lasting - this is, in my opinion, worth every penny of the £23 asking price. I think I'll be treating myself to some more CT products very soon.....

L'oreal Colour Riche Blake's Pure Red Lipstick

FINALLY! I've been waiting for new L'oreal lady Blake Lively to get her own lipstick! After the seriously popular nude's collection from the glamorous faces of L'oreal I knew it wasn't going to be long until they bought out some more!
This time it's all about the reds and I'm SO pleased Blake has been involved!
The new Pure Red's Collection is made up of 4 new shades from the likes of Blake, Eva, Julianne & Liya. (and I'm sure at some point I'll own them all but I thought I'd limit myself to just the one for now..... it's not like a need another red lipstick!)
I am a huge Blake Lively fan and I won't lie - my purchase of this was heavily influenced by the fact her name was plastered on the front of it!

Blake, Serena, S, that druggie girl in The Town ... whatever you want to call her - she is a total stunner, I have become total captivated with her transformation into one of the most stunning women to hit the red carpets recently.
The lipstick itself is only £6.99 - I'm not sure weather this is a prmotional price of whether the Colour Riche lipsticks have been reduced permantly - a middle price for a high street brand and I was more than happy to pay it.
I love the shape of the bullet, it is slightly different to most products out there with a smaller and more pointed nib which makes it super easy to apply neatly and precisely. 
With Autumn more or less here I'm starting to prepare myself for less bright pinks and corals and more reds and deep purples! 
This shade is gorgeous, bold and has incredible staying power! L'oreal's lip products are always impressive and I have to say this is definitely my go-to red for now.... I think I may just go and buy the rest of the collection!

Vaseline Limited Edition - Paint The Town Review

Vaseline is one of those products I will always love and own! I've used it for years and years and the amount of uses for this stuff is endless, I always have one in my bag!
So when there are new pots, scents, colours that come out I always want to get involved and try them out.... and this newbie is no exception!
I was browsing the Boots website the other day when I suddenly noticed this - a new Vaseline.
A new limited edition Vaseline! So obviously, I had to order it!
This is the no.3 Limited Edition Vaseline and it is called Paint The Town. It is your usual yummy Vaseline but with a gorgeous red tint for a bit of extra glam!
Now in the tin this stuff looks super bright and a real deep red BUT putting it on your lips is a different story!
It is a very very sheer red - which makes it great for anyone.... especially those who find a bold lip a little nerve-wracking! Like having your usual Vaseline feel but with a tiny bit of glam!
Saying that though there is something which is majorly different..... the scent.
The scent of this stuff is incredible! Like sweets, I cannot explain how much I love it, I can't stop sniffing it everytime I get the chance! I urge you just to go and have a look at this just too have a sniff! By far the best Vaeline scent yet in my opinion!
These pots are £3.49 each and I'm guessing are going to be in most Boots stores (and most likely others too) over the next couple of months! 
If you are a Vaseline lover like myself I highly recommend it, especially with all this cold weather we are having - avoiding chapped lips AND look cute whilst smelling amazing? - deal!

Are you a Vaseline lover like myself? Which is your favourite Vaseline?
