Rekindled Love

So I have recently rediscovered one of my lipsticks and I love it... again! I'm sure most girls go through phases of finding gems in their makeup collection that they'd completely forgotten about! Or is it just me?.. 

The lipstick in question is part of the No.7 Moisture Drench collection and is in the shade Romantic (04). It currently retails at Boots for £9.95. This may be considered as pricy for a highstreet lipstick, however, No.7 often give £5 off vouchers, so you could get your hands on a lipstick for just £4.95, Bargain!

The colour is what I would call a beautiful earthy nude. For me it is a perfect everyday shade and can be worn with most looks as it is so neutral. The slightly brown/ pink hue works well with my skin tone and doesn't wash the rest of my face out! 

This lipstick gives a nice sheen but isn't sparkly at all, nothing worse than a glittery lipstick! My lips feel hydrated and I would say the lasting power isn't too bad. Of course it will need to be re-applied every few hours and after eating/ drinking.

Overall, this is such a wearable shade and I know I will definitely get lots of use out of it during the autumn! Who knows what other treasures I might find when I next go through my collection. If you've recently found products you completely forgot about and now love, let me know in the comments below! 

              

                                                                              

The Liebster Award!

I have been nominated for the Liebster award by the lovely Laura Gale from Lala London. I'm so excited do this post so lets just get straight into it!

I am a fairly new blogger that has realised that gaining followers is not always the easiest of tasks. I can't believe that I had never heard of the Liebster award until now! Such a good concept and a lovely way to spread awareness for new bloggers out there! So here we go with the questions...

1. What made you want to start blogging?
For many years now I have watched beauty bloggers on youtube and searched around for product reviews on Google. I always thought it must be so interesting to start a blog but never really had the guts or knowledge on how to do so... until this summer! I had so much spare time that I thought to myself, why not start a blog?!
2. Is your follower count important to you?
For me, writing a blog isn't so much the case of gaining as many followers as i possibly can. I enjoy writing the posts and it gives me something to do when i have lots of spare time. I hope other people enjoy reading my blog, at the end of the day any new followers are a bonus!
3. What's your favourite film?
This is a tricky one! I'm the type of girl that loves almost all disney films (The lion king and Pocahontas being at the top of that list!) Asides from that, I mostly like watching romcom's. If you haven't watched Remember Me and like to do a bit of sobbing at the tv screen, this is a good one for that!
4. Are you a cat or a dog person?
I grew up with a dog through my childhood so would say that this has made me more of a dog person. My first pet, however, is most likely to be a cat as they need much less work!
5. All-time favourite song?
This is also a hard one! My taste in song changes depending on my mood, I do always love a sing a long to Aerosmith I don't want to miss a thing though!
6. Cosy night in or big night out on the town?
Being a uni student you would probably expect me to say big night out on the town. This is not the case! I love cosy nights in watching films and eating chocolate.
7. Full face of makeup or au naturelle?
I think I fall somewhere in between. I like to wear makeup, but I like it to look fairly natural at the same time!
8. Favourite skincare products?
I must admit i'm not big on using loads of skincare products. I tend to have the most minimal night time routine possible (mainly because i'm slightly lazy in that respect). I would recommend the Tea Tree face wash from Superdrug. It's so refreshing! and a little bit goes a long way.
9. Favourite foundation/s?
I have stuck with the same foundation for almost a year now and can still say that i'm loving it! it's the L'Oreal True Match foundation in the shade rose ivory.
10. Favourite alcoholic beverage?
I would say that I am definitely a prosecco kind of girl. I do tend to like anything else fruity though!
