Colour Pop Matte Lipsticks



I recently found a website that you can purchase Colourpop lipsticks from! I find that in the UK they are pretty hard to get your hands on.

The major issue i have with buying make-up (lipsticks in particular) online is that you never truly know what the colour is going to look like. Even after looking through and watching countless swatch videos on YouTube - you just never know what they will look like until they arrive.

There were countless shades that i loved and wanted but i restricted myself to buying only two. 

I got the shades 'Scrooge' and 'Donut' on the website i felt that these shades definitely were different looking on the website. 

Scrooge looked like a pinky red colour and when i put it on my lips its more of a dark purple colour - perfect for the autumnal weather Scotland has got at the moment. This one i am happy with the colour and feel like i would wear it during this time of the year.



Donut look like this really lovely pinky nude colour. I had been looking for nice nude colour that would be perfect for every day wear. When it came its a very patchy pink colour. I tried it just on my bare lips when they first came as i was so excited to try them. Donut went on very patchy and doesn't even dry even. I thought putting a base of lip balm might help it even out but that doesn't even seem to work :/ its a little frustrating. 



Scrooge goes on so lovely and dries completely even. So I am a bit stumped as to why this is as they are the same formula. 

The right is Donut and the left is Scrooge


The formula is very different from liquid lipsticks such as the Kylie ones or even Kat Von D - they are very runny and i don't think they go on as smoothly as the others. You most probably need a lip liner as they very easily bleed onto the outside of the lip.

In my opinion i would stick to the darker colours as from reading at lot of reviews they seem to go on easier and look nicer.

To be completely honest i am disappointed - i had heard a lot of good stuff about these lipsticks but i think i will stick to the Kat Von D ones as i know they are amazing!

Thanks For Reading

Slimming World - Week 2

My first week back at Slimming World and I would say that it was a complete success! 99% of the time I was on plan with just one day where a Nandos may have happened!  It paid off! My first weigh in and I lost 2.5lbs! I am delighted, it just goes to show you that if you stick to it then it pays off and you will see the results that you want. If I lose 2.5lbs every week I will be one happy girl! Lets hope this week I am just as determined as I was last week! Start Weight - 12Stone 12.5lbs Current Weight - 12Stone 10lbs To Target - 1 Stone 10lbs Thanks, Stef x

Mario Badescu Make Up Remover

For many months now I have been using a waterproof mascara as I feel like it hold a better curl and last a lot longer without dropping or shortening the curl. One thing I could not stand and quite frankly dreaded was having to take the mascara off to apply a fresh coat, I used to spend ages tugging at my lashes to try and get all the product off but for some reason my lashes just never felt clean, I always felt like there was still a coat of mascara on them. I searched the shops for removers that were specific to taking off waterproof mascara and even they did not seem to work either.  I loved how to mascara looked and I did not want to have to try and find another mascara that looked as good. I was looking through Beauty Bay a few months back and found the brand Mario Badescu and I remembered watching a video of Zoe where she spoke and raved about how good the brand was. Since I had tried everything else I didn't think it would hurt to give their waterproof ...

2017 Goals!

I am the worst person ever for sticking to any goals that I set myself. I either just give up days after setting them or I totally forget that I set them at all. But this year I want to be different, I want to write my Goals for 2017 down and try really hard to tick them off and actually stick to them throughout the whole year. I sat down a few days back and really thought about the things in 2016 that made me not happy and change this habit in 2017 and make my goals achievable.  Goal Number 1 - To stick to Slimming World the entire year. I joined Slimming World in December of 2015 and for the majority of the year I was pretty good and stuck to it about 80% of the time - resulting in me losing 1stone3lbs in total. However, over the last 2 months I have totally fallen off the wagon and eating everything in sight - so that weight I lost is probably all back on now. So, I am making this happen this year and going to rejoin my class on Thursday and will be to target by t...
