Liquid Lipsticks || Jeffree Star

I love liquid lipsticks, they're highly pigmented, easy to apply and extremely long lasting. My favourite brand to offer these delights so far has to be Jeffree Star Cosmetics. I currently only own 4 shades but I will be expanding my collection asap! Another fab point to these is that they're 100% Vegan and Cruelty free!!

When these are on, they well and truly do not budge. I can get the minimum of 5 hours wear with these and that's with eating and drinking. Something that I find perfect for a night out or a shift at work. You can also mix them to create your own colours, for example adding I'm Nude to Unicorn Blood creates a light pinky red colour which just looks fabulous.

I'm Nude // Unicorn Blood // Celebrity Skin // Anna Nicole

I purchase mine from Cocktail Cosmetics, they're £13.50 and the postal service is super quick!

Hi Hi Hi

Makeup Revolution are constantly bringing out more and more products that are seriously to die for. This month is no exception, as we welcome the birth of the fabulous Ultra Velour Lip Creams*. Available in 10 different shades for a teeny tiny price of £3, yet another beautiful bargain from these guys!

Don't Bring Me Down | Sweet Boy with a big mouth | What will it take to make you love me?

Can't we just make love instead? | Their eyes can't find us | Move your mouth forever

All I think is about you | Not one for playing games

Say yes, it's what we do best | You're not the best, you're not the last

The guys at Makeup Rev claim that these have an Ultra Velour Finish, Ultra Intensive Colour, Smooth Application, Feels Comfortable and Lasts Up To 8 Hours. 

So...does these beauts do what they say on the tin?

Pretty much!

Everything apart from the 8 hours wear I can agree with, I manage to get around 4 but they do state that it's only up to 8 hours. To be honest though, to find a lip product that stays on for 4 hours to me is pretty impressive! 

I'm also completely in love with two other things. Firstly, to me these smell like Salted Caramel Chocolate and the names are just so super duper sassy that they're hard not to fall in love with!

Can't we just make love instead?

You're not the best. You're not the last

You can purchase all of these shades from the MR website here

Red Lipstick Collection

Hello beautiful people;

"Red lipstick all on the paper, let me take a hit while you sit and rush"

A year ago I associated myself and red lipstick with looking like a cheap street walker, my oh my how times change.

Again, this is going to be a very MAC heavy post for obvious reasons (iheartmac).

Being a blonde means that I can't just wear any red lipstick, I do prefer a blue toned one in winter and an orange toned one in summer!
My all time favourite red lipstick is Sangers by Illamasqua, it looks amazing all year round and has a darker tone for a really versatile vampy look! I can't imagine this lipstick could look bad on anyone!

Mac Ronnie Red - blue toned with a matte finish (limited edition)
Mac Diva - blue toned with a matte finish
Mac Lady Danger - orange toned with a matte finish

Urban Decay 69 - blue toned raspberry red with a satin finish (this lipsticks do not budge, invest in some!)
Illamasqua Sangers - cool toned red with a matte finish
MUA Shade 8 - warm toned with a gold shimmer and semi-opaque finish

Mac Prolong - blue toned in the prolongwear finish (another lipstick that doesn't budge)
Natural Collection Crimson - slightly warm toned red with a semi-opaque finish. Incredible quality for the £1.99 price tag !

Sorry for all the photos in this post, I thought they would be helpful!
What is your favourite red lipstick?

lots of love, effstarbeauty xoxo
