My all-time favourite lipstick

During the day I don't particularly like wearing lipstick (mainly because I work full-time in a kitchen) so I tend to stick with my trusty Rimmel Apocalips neutrals!
But when I go on a night out, I do have one favourite that I've been repurchasing for years.



So the lipstick is No7's  Moisture Drench in Plum Beautiful (£9.50). 

I absolutely love the formula of these lipsticks - they are SO moisturising, but don't feel sticky at all. This colour in particular I find compliments the dark tones in my skin and hair perfectly (I find it very hard to wear light pinks so I prefer darker plum colours).
The only downside is the price. But I feel that if you find a lipstick that you know you'll continue wearing for years, it's worth spending the money. 


Let me know your favourite lipsticks... or if you love any others from No7's collection for me to try!

Barry M Gelly

I have made no secret of my love of Barry M. In my opinion it's the best, most affordable nail polish brand in the UK. 
Everyone has been raving about the new Gelly collection and I've been wanting to get my hands on some for a long time (but I've had no money and have been working non-stop for the last month). 
Finally I've got some and I love every single one...

329 - Passion Fruit
323 - Blackberry
325 - Pomegranate

Although I'm more of a pastel girl, these brights certainly stood out to me. This is just one coat of the three colours and they come on so thick and shiny! I can imagine myself wearing Passion Fruit and Pomegranate a lot this August, but maybe Blackberry more in the winter as it is quite dark. These are also lovely toenail colours!!!

317 - Dragon
328 - Blueberry
328 - Greenberry
326 - Prickly Pear

My camera is awful, so I apologise about how bad this photo has come out. But I hope you can see how beautiful these four colours are. Although I own these four in the normal Barry M range, you can definitely see that the Gellies are thicker, shinier and yet again this is just one coat! I've also noticed that this range stays on a lot longer than the the non-gellies. It's weird seeing my nails with no chips!

Does anyone recommend any other colours? I would love to expand my collection!

You can pick each of these up for £3.99 in Boots.
