April Favourites is up!

Finally my internet has decided to return to me and work as faster as ever, which is quite convenient for myself. Due to the fact that I have a pile of work to do and need to finish :|

However as it has only just returned I have not really been organised with what I was going to write this week, so I thought I would do what I usually tend to do in these circumstances and link you to my new video that went live yesterday! :D

My April Favourites!

Top 5 Drugstore Lipstick | elliewoods

For today's post I thought I would let you guys know my favourite Drugstore Lipsticks!

(L'oreal Project Runway, Rimmel Kate Moss, Revlon Colourburst, Australis Color inject, Maybelline Colorsensational)

Rimmel Kate Moss Lasting Finish and Lasting Matte Finish

The best drugstore lipstick, so great in fact that I believe it could be considered a high end lipstick. So I have purchased nearly every colour from this range, if that doesn’t show how good it is then I don’t know what will. There is a shade for everyone in this range, going from the lightest nude to purple. There tends to be a tiny bit of transfer after eating, but the color on the lips does not budge in the slightest

Revlon Colourburst

This is one of my favourtie nude lipsticks. Because it is such an everyday wearable, my lips but better lipstick. The formula is so creamy so it glides on smoothly. Has a good staying power without drying out the lips. Only downside of this lipstick is that they have now discontinued the shade, however if your lucky you should be able to find it on ebay!

Australis Color inject lipstick

With an infused SPF 15 whats not to love about this lipstick in the summer!.

Is a smooth, creamy and light weight formula that is easy to apply, can be sheer however is a buildable coverage.

Leaves the lips feeling moisturized for hours.

I actually sometimes use this instead of a lip moisturizer/butter in the day.

Maybelline Colorsensational

Goes on so smoothly without leaving any residue. Is a creamy formula that is fairly moisturisering with a satin finish. As far as longetivity goes, they can last around 4-5 hours without eating or 1-3 hours if eating. The thing that I love the most about this product has nothing to do with the formula in the si=lightest, it is actually the vanilla smell of the lipstick.

L’oreal project runway lipstick

The texture of this lipstick is nice and creamy but stays in place. This lipstick glides on easily with even coverage after only one application. This also leaves my lips feeling smooth and soft and does not dry them out in the slightest. It does last well on the lips, lasting around 3-4 hours before needing to be touched up. So people believe that this product smells weirdly but I don’t find that in the slightest.

eek I did it again! | elliewoods

So I had some really good ideas of what to blog about this week.

However time has gotten away from me and I am now sitting here on a Sunday night at 11:36pm (I was laying comfortably in bed on my phone when I realised that I had forgotten to post this week.

So next week expect me to pick up the slack and there shall be quite an exciting blogpost to read, to make sure of this I will even write it tomorrow! (ooo look at me being all prepared) 

So instead as it is quite late I shall leave you with this weeks two videos!

Rimmel Kate Moss Lipsticks | elliewoods

These lipsticks have made a massive impact on the beauty world, not only do they have a great formulation but the price is a bargain! Now I'm not entirely sure why I have waited so long to finally write this post on these lovely lipsticks, but it has been a long time coming and it is way overdue!

When this lipstick collection was first launched I heard a lot and saw a lot about this lipstick line, it had everyone in the beauty blogging world talking. Not only is there a lovely selection of colours to choose from, but also there is a gorgeous kind of berry smell to the lipstick itself.

There are three different Kate Moss Lipstick Lines at Rimmel at the moment and the black casing lipsticks have a kind of creme/satin finish. The black casing lipsticks are for both the Kate Moss Lasting Finish Lipsticks and the Kate Moss Spring Collection Lipsticks. Whilst the red casing lipsticks are the Kate Moss Lasting Matte Finish Lipsticks.

 I purchased all the available colours they had in stock in my local Priceline because they are simply the best drugstore lipstick available and I will definitely be going back in to check on when they restock so I can grab some of the colours I missed out on. They go on smoothly and last for a very long time without drying out your lips.

I find that the colour 09 is very much the same as 107 from the matte collection. I think they have done this also with the colours 11 from the Lasting Finish line and the Matte Line. I think this is great in case someone prefers a different finish. 16 is kind of your Barbie pink which I think will look gorgeous during those Summer months, or even if you just like noticeable pink lip for everyday use. 03 has probably now make it up there as my new favourite drugstore nude lipstick, it is just so versatile and easy to wear, making it suitable for all occasions. Lastly the 05 is quite a vibrant pink, but it doesn't go on as vibrant as it looks, you can put tiny bit on and it will give you a nice flush of pink on your lips for casual everyday use, or you can give it another layer transform it into a night out vibrant lipstick look.

(Colours: 09,11,16,03,05)

Then there is the Rimmel Kate Moss Lasting Matte Finish line. Now I only have two of the shades from this collection, but I absolutely love them. I would have to say that the shade 107 is definitely my favourite (as you can probably tell by the state of the lipstick) it is a nice purplish red which just looks stunning in the winter months. While 111 is definitely a more vibrant classic red which is suitable for any time you want to make your make look pop.

(Colours: 107, 111)

  I usually find myself using lip liners when putting drugstore lipsticks on, to give a nice crisp line and these shades are just so gorgeous that I find myself a lot of the time skipping this step because the staying power and the pigmentation of these lipsticks just make it unnecessary to need lip liner.
