17 Berry Crush Lip Stain Review!

RRP £4.99

Unless you've been hiding away somewhere you'll know that lip stains are one of the hottest products on the cosmetics market right now and up until recently I hadn't tried one. I remember when I was little and broke into my sisters make up collection and stole a red lip stain and my lips were stained for days so I was a bit weary!

However I am really impressed. I picked up the shade Pinkini, which is a punchy vibrant pink, with deep purple tones. This kind of colour is what I'm really loving at the minute. 

For those of you wondering how to apply this product you just simply apply the lip balm to protect and moisturise your lips and then apply the felt tip looking end over you lips to add colour. 

I wore this to fashion week as I wanted my lip colour to stay in place all day without too many touch ups and it did.

To begin with I thought that the felt tip end was dried out as the colour was difficult to apply but after a few uses this seems to have cleared up.

I can't wait to try out some more the shades! And the 17 lip stains are so much cheaper than that of other brands, they've definitely won me over!

Simple Moisture Boost Hydro Mist Review!

RRP £5.99Caudalie Beauty Elixir . Having never tried the beauty elixir I have nothing to compare it to, so in hindsight this was a bit of a random purchases. But anyway, I brought it to refresh my face and make up after work.



I brought this a while ago and kept meaning to review it, well better late than never! I brought this a cheap alternative (I'm such an idiot) for

I have to admit spraying yourself in the face isn't the nicest thing in the world, but it doesn't rub off your make up. I find it really refreshing it's perfect after a long day at work or a lazy day out in the sun.

My face feels softer and more hydrated and although simple doesn't use fragrances it kind of smells like old-fashioned face powder, a smell I adore!

I have oily/combo/sensitive skin so I can't use any thing harsh or too natural on my face but this has the perfect balance!

When I go back to Uni. and traveling on the train it's going to be perfect for popping in my handbag and using to refresh my face after a horrendous train journey!

Collection Extreme 24 Hour Felt Tip Liner!

RRP £2.99

I brought this eyeliner on Tuesday after struggling with my old rubbish liquid eyeliner. I am useless at applying eyeliner so any way of making things easier always interests me. I thought that this might be a good way of applying eyeliner without looking like a child did my make up.

The eyeliner is exactly like a felt tip and it is a lot easier to apply than a standard liquid liner. I'm still no expert at applying eyeliner but this makes things a lot easier.

I also didn't like how standard eyeliner wore off during the day. That flaky look is just horrible and I'm happy to say this lasts longer and no flakiness. In no way does this last 24 hours, but it does last a lot longer than a standard liquid eyeliner.

In the shop I accidentally picked up a purple felt tip liner and applied some to my hand, it stained my hand and would not come off. I tried the black and that came off with my eye make up remover. I was a little cautious about applying it still just in case it stained my eyes, but I'm happy to say it doesn't!

The felt tip liner is a great idea and I'm never going to go back to standard liquid liner again!

Everyday Make Up #1

I have found a new love for experimenting with make up but these products have found themselves in my everyday make up routine. I have to admit the majority of this make up costs around a £1 or was free. But I did splash out (ish) on the foundation.

After cleansing and toning. I slap on the moisturiser. I am currently using Avon Fresh Hydration SPF15 Day Cream. I never really loved moisturiser before make up up until a few months ago (shocking I know) but I now can't go with out it. I know that my skin is protected from the sun and my make up stays in place so much longer.

A recent addition to my make up routine is the POREfessional and that gal primer. I alternate these depending on how I feel to be honest. Click here to see my full reviews!

I then move on to my Bourjois 123 Perfect foundation. I brought this after seeing many Youtube videos and seeing that a lot of vloggers recommended this foundation. I use shade No. 52 Vanilla. It claims to stay in place for 16 hours and it does! I never have to touch up my foundation which is a bonus when I am at work!

My next step is Collection's lasting perfect concealer. I really love this and I recommend this so much! I love the coverage. I use shade light 2.

Moving onto my eyes. I then coat my lashes in Avon colour perfect mascara. I have used this mascara for ages and I'm finding that the formula is not as good as it used to be. So I am on a look out for a new mascara! (Any recommendations would be amazing!)

I then brush my eye lids with No 7 stay perfect eyeshadow in shade 10 wheat sheaf. I find that it gives a nice even coverage and wakes my eyes up a bit.

I then line my eyes very lightly with MUA shade 19. It's a great eyeshadow and adds a bit of colour. I find this look to be a lot more natural than a heavy kohl eyeliner.

My brows then are tidied up with a brow comb and I fill in any gaps with MUA eyeshadow shade 20. I was using MUA brow pencil but I found it to be too thick and my eyebrows looked caked on!

To finish of my face I use a bronzer or blush depending on how I feel. I am currently using MUA bronzer in shade 2. I find that this isn't dark enough for my skin so I have to use a fair bit to get any definition.

To top it all off I use my favourite lipstick which again is an MUA product ( I LOVE MUA!) I use shade 12. I love this bright pink!

And that is my everyday routine! I told you that most of the products are cheap but then again I do like my bargains! I will be doing this post again when I change this up a bit!

P.S If you have a moment I'd be ever so grateful if you could nominate littlepaperswans for the newcomer award at the Cosmo Blog Awards! I know I don't stand much of a chance but it only takes a second!
