NEW L'oreal L'Extraordinaire Liquid Lipstick by Color Riche

L'oreal L'Extraordinaire Liquid Lipstick by Color Riche

I recently picked up one of the new Liquid Lipsticks by L'oreal. I opted for the shade 201 Rose Symphony, which is a bright pink with almost a touch of coral. There a bunch of great shades available (9 in total) and these retail at £8.99.


First of all, this liquid lipstick has amazing pigmentation and can be sheered out if desired but can also give a real opaque finish in just one stroke! The formula is amazing. It smells fruity and good enough to eat and feels just heavenly on the lips. I loathe sticky, glupy lip products and this one from L'oreal is neither. This product is super moisturising, almost like a balm, yet it delivers the colour intensity of a lipstick and the shine of a gloss.


Application is made easy with a feather-soft wand and as I said before, one stroke is all you need for great color intensity. Alot of liquid lipsticks can be drying on the lips, which is why I think this one is amazing as it is super moisturizing and forgiving on slightly drier lips.


Overall, these liquid lipsticks have it all. They smell great, feel great and look great. They are affordable and come in some great shades. I will definitely be picking some more of these up for sure!!!!

Clinique Superbalm Moisturizing Gloss

Clinique Superbalm Moisturizing Gloss

I purchased the Superbalm Moisturizing Gloss from Clinique a few months ago at an airport, whilst on vacation.  This lip balm/gloss instantly soothes the lips and provides an amazing glossy shine. I found this product amazing whilst on holiday as it does a really good job at the lips moisturised, but gives a lovely bit of colour and shine at the same time.


This superbalm is available in 7 shades and provides very sheer colour for a natural look. I opted for the shade Apricot , which is a pink/apricot shade, but too be honest with one layer, looks almost clear. The formula feels soft and smooth on the lips with no stickiness what so ever.


As you can see from the image above, this balm/gloss looks pretty clear, unless you layer it on, then you get a subtle hint of pink/apricot to the lips. I personally like to layer this product over a nude/pink lipstick for a little extra moisture and shine.

The Clinique Superbalm Moisturizing Gloss retails at £16.00 for 15ml and is available to purchase online at http://www.clinique.co.uk

The Bodyshop Aloe Lip Care

The Bodyshop Aloe Lip Care


I thought I would do a quick post dedicated to the amazing new lip product I found from The Bodyshop. I purchased the Aloe Lip Care last week for just £5.00 and it has worked miracles on my lips.


I have been running lately in the evenings, and the cold weather has really taken its toll on my lips. I was trying some of the lip balms that I had lying around but none of them seemed to be working. Whilst in The Bodyshop, the assistant recommended this product to me.

It comes in a squeezy tube with an applicator at the end and is fragrance, colour and alcohol free. I knew I was going to love this from the first moment I tried it. As soon as you apply to the lips, it leaves your lips looking and feeling incredibly soft, without being sticky or greasy.

This lip balm is designed to soothe and condition very dry lips and it is suitable for those with the most sensitive skin. This lip care as transformed my lips and did so within a couple of days. An amazing product and I will definitely be repurchasing.
