GH Lipshades





I've been recently trying to find a few shades of lipsticks which I can go to on a daily basis. I'm totally in love with Mac's hue and wear it most days but I've been wanting to find some other shades so it's not the same old. I'm a very much a pink/nude kind of girl. I can't wear nudes which mute out my lips, as I'm very pale and also don't like the concealer lips look. I haven't find the perfect nude to suit me as yet and i don't like too pink on a daily basis as i like to tone my lips down. After seeing the Boots 17 Lipstick in Beehive on many blogs I brought it and love it. It's sheer and moisturising but is buildable.

I also did an order to ELF when they had tone of their many offers and picked up a mineral lipstick in 'Runaway Pink'. I knew that the swatches on the ELF website aren't true to the colours so i did have a search around for swatches too and decided on this colour. When it came, at first I thought I wouldn't like it but it's a very wearable colour. Unlike the 17 lipstick i have to wear a good lip balm underneath and lipgloss on top to keep my lips moisturised. As you can see from the swatches the 17 Lipstick is very glossy while the Elf mineral lipstick if more about the colour.


If you haven't tried any 17 Mirror Shine Lipstick's before I would highly recommend them. They aren't the most pigmented lipsticks but they are meant to be sheer and moisturising and feel amazing on the lips.

For anyone who read my recent posts, i ordered my Faux Alexander Wang Rocco bag last night. It's been dispatched today so hopefully it's going to be anytime soon! I'll be running to the door when the postman comes. I hate it when they don't even knock at the door and just post one of them cards saying I wasn't in when I clearly was and they never even knocked at the door, so I have to trail into my local town to collect it. Annoys me so much. Fingers crossed it comes tomorrow!
