Kissing With Tom Ford

Well, with my new Tom Ford lippy to be precise. A rather extravagant spend at £35, but am adoring it all the same. The shade is Pink Dusk, and as with all the TF lipsticks, it applies lusciously and smoothly. The creamy texture moisturises without any dry skin being highlighted (always a faux pas).

Pink Dusk is a natural light pink shade, perfect for everyday, and works great with the growing nude/ natural make up trends.

Goes without saying, the packaging is stunning. Understated luxe.

However, it appears that Mr. Ford is revamping his lippy collection, and early autumn will see new (possibly gold) packaging along with new shades. Seven of the existing lipstick colours will also get the chop (not Pink Dusk though), so if you have a current fave, pop over to Tom Ford and stock up ladies!

Lipstick Loverrr

I think i have a new obsession, or even an additional obsession to my usual Bronzer obsession. LIPSTICK,  pink lipstick to be more precise. 
In two days i have bought 4 lipsticks, this may not sound like many, but my purse definitely felt some pain, especially since all four colours are so similar. I just couldn’t walk away from them, and i love them all.

YSL Rouge Volupte 30 & 7 (L-R)
T-B: Rouge Volupte 30, Rouge Volupte 7

These luscious lippies from YLS are seriously to die for. Not only was i amazed by the vibrant colours but also the silky texture. The lipsticks glide on, feeling really moisturising and light. I have found in the past that such bold shades of lipstick highlight any dry or flakey patches of skin, but these are created to nourish lips as well as colour them. And they taste yummy of Melons – mmm delish! 

Ok i know these two goodies from Mac look almost identical, but they’re not, they produce two quite different albeit pink looks. Once is Barbie on a ‘out there’ day and the other is Barbie on a down day. If Barbie puts you off, then you may not like these. They are pretty damn pink. I love the look each creates, and i love mixing them up with nuder shades to achieve a subtle shade too – so versatile! 

T – B: Chatterbox (Amplified) and Pink Nouveau (Satin)
