You may have already seen these beauties appear in my Spring Wishlist with me mentioning that I was keen to try more shades and I can tell you why... they are AMAZING! I'm sure any of you who are regular 'beauty blog readers' have already heard a million and one reviews on them telling you have great they are and now you cant make them a million and two! I was slightly apprehensive when purchasing this product, thinking that it was going to be more a tinted lip balm than a lipstick- boy was I wrong! These sticks of wonderfullness are PIGMENTED! They have a wonderful colour pay-off with just one layer that can be built up is a deeper or brighter look is desired. Not only are they wonderfully coloured, they are hydrating, making your lips feel smooth and soft- just like you had used a great lip balm on them! 

These fabulous products come in 20 great colours, including beiges, nudes and baby pinks to the more daring deep reds and hot pinks- a colour to suit everyone! I picked up the shade 'Peach Parfait' a neutral peachy colour with small gold flecks scattered throughout- giving the perfect 'my lips but better' look to the lips. I am keen to try the shades 'Strawberry Shortcake' for the perfect pale pink or 'Sweet Tart' for a bolder, brighter colour.

What do you think of the Revlon Lipbutters? Do they live up to the hype?

DIY: Splatter Nails

The other day I was getting bored with my plain nail polish and decided to give the splatter nail polish trend a whirl. I had seen two YouTube tutorials on this look (both linked below) so I decided it looked simple enough to try. You can have a look at the tutorials and the post if you fancy giving this look a try, as I believe they all explain the steps very well. So here is a look at how my nails turned out!

 Before...

And After...

This design was super-simple and perfect to glam up any plain nail polish! I cant wait to try it with a different selection of nail polishes!

I used: 

-Mecca Cosmetica 'Mariah' (Base Colour)

- Revlon Top Speed 'Grape'

- Orly "Luxe'

How to do it:
A wonderful tutorial using neutrals and a pop of colour
