NEW AND UNDER REVIEW





L-R Barry M (121), Rimmel Colour Show off (140), Lancome L'absolu Rouge (182) and Rimmel Lasting finish by Kate (107)

So i know I'm a bit late off the mark with the Rimmel London/Kate Moss collaboration but I'm quite fussy when it comes to lipstick!

The Rimmel range isn't something that particularly excites me however I was perusing boots (like you do!) when i saw this colour on the rack. I've been looking for a darker plummy red for ages so I took the plunge and it definitely paid off.

I found that the colour did glide on quite easily and  I did only need to re apply a couple of times throughout the day - so i was fairly impressed with the wear. The lipstick is also scented which i actually quite like, it's a sweet, fruity fragrance which I didn't find overpowering once applied. In fact both of my Rimmel lipsticks are, so maybe it's just a Rimmel thing? 

I've only owned the lipstick about a week but it's fast becoming a favourite of mine and for £5.49 you can't really say no!

Do you own any of the Rimmel/Kate moss collection, let me know your thoughts!

WHAT'S IN THE BAG? ... SELFRIDGES

Everyone knows the iconic Selfridges bags right? I'm pretty fortunate to live quite close to Manchester so I have not one but TWO Selfridges within my reach!

















I recently went to the Trafford centre (absolutely LOVE that place) and stopped by the Muji concession, which I love. Kinda reminds me ok Ikea and who doesn't love Ikea right? Muji sell a whole range of bits and bobs for home and office and I had my eye on something in particular. I bought the double drawers which were £10.95 and basically it's a set of 2 acrylic drawers. Perfect for my make up and cheaper than some of the units you can buy from ebay. 

I currently have one drawer for eyeshadow palettes and lip sticks and another for blushers/bronzers/concealers and samples.










I really should of bought two sets because that's just a small selection of my make up, half of it is at home at my mums house because i literally have nowhere to put it! I'm sure a few of you reading this are exactly the same, or at least I hope you are!

So where do you keep your mascara i hear you ask? Never fear because i have an old box which is currently housing them all but I do plan on buying another set of two drawers and then moving all my make up in together. It's so much easier to find everything i want now, especially with the lipsticks!





P.s I'm really sorry if you're disappointed with my 'what's in the bag', hopefully next time it will be much more glamourous!
