The battle of the Lip Liners

So who isn't obsessed with the nude liner these days?

(top to bottom swatches - Charlotte Tilbury, Primark, Essence, Rimmel)

I am in love with my Charlotte Tilbury lip cheat in pillow talk and have been searching for an alternative or dupe.

First up Primark! Gotta love Primark. This liner is a close match on colour, especially once applied to lips. And for £1 is decent! It's a good liner and I'm happy with it but it's not quite Charlotte Tilbury. The lasting power isn't the same as pillow talk.

Next Essence. I have already reviewed products from Essence which included this liner. The shade is slightly darker than the Charlotte Tilbury lipliner but the consistency is very similar it has a matte but creamy texture. The most annoying thing about this liner is it doesn't last long at all, maybe a few hours. But yet again it's only £1!

Finally Rimmel. I think the whole world and his wife knows about this dupe. Yes the colour is very similar it's a little more pink than pillow talk but its close. But it still doesn't quite feel as good as Charlotte Tilbury however the lasting power is better than the others above.

10 Years on

Just sat minding my own...well actually browsing through ASOS with the telly on in the background and I see my back surgeon from 10 years ago. BBC 2 Hospital series 3 a documentary on Nottingham QMC hospital around the time of a bed crisis. A young boy of 12 was about to undergo a spinal fusion by the best surgeon Micheal Grevitt (my doctor). The documentary was a brilliant insight into how the NHS is suffering. Staff overworked, patients distressed waiting for beds, treatment and then a lack of social care funding. An experience I didn't have 10 years ago. The program brought back some memories, least to say some painful memories - literally painful. August 2007 I went to QMC to have the biggest operation I'd ever had or probably will ever have. I make myself laugh to be honest because now at 26 I'd be shitting myself but not at 16 - bitch be fearless! Obvz I was nervous but I was optimistic almost unbeatable! My mum looked petrified...the woman is scared of h...

MAXFACTOR CREME PUFF BLUSHES

(30 Gorgeous Berries) When i saw the release of these blushers i was skeptical because of the Creme element - instantly thought STICKY. The MaxFactor Creme Puff Blusher are new to the drugstore in the UK ( Boots & Superdrug ). There are 6 shades in this range. When swatching i thought glitterin'hell - i'll look like a disco ball with these blushes! The lighter shades such as 5 Lovely Pink and 10 Nude Mauve may be more of a highlight for medium skin tones. I have seen that these blushes are a DUPE for Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blushers which are £28! In my eyes that makes these MaxFactor blushes a bargain at £8.99! Im not sure if some shades are online exclusives as i was looking for 20 Lavish Mauve , it was impossible to find! I bought mine in the shade 30 Gorgeous Berries . Gorgeous Berries is the darkest blusher in the range. It is what it says on the tin, its a berry shade (I ts a purpley/Pinky shade ). The formula is a powde...

#MYBEAUTIFULSTRUGGLE

I don't really know what I'm going to call this blog post. I have to discuss Jordan Bone's latest YouTube video "My beautiful struggle". This video had over 25,000 views in 24 hours! ( Congratulations Jordan) . The point of this video was for Jordan to show her viewers The struggle she has to apply make up. It's almost like a behind-the-scenes about how difficult it was to learn to do her make up. She is a positive, beautiful, ambitious inspiration which makes her the perfect role model for so many different people not just those with disabilities. It's not easy to put a video like this online for everyone to see. To admit that you can't do most things for yourself and have to ask for help with everything is difficult. Down to silly little things to normal people ( able people ), like brushing your own hair or dressing yourself. Do you take that for granted ? Maybe ? You probably don't even realise your morning routine is completel...
