Maybelline baby lips review

I've had my eye on mabyelline's baby lips moisturising lip balm for a while now, and I finally decided to get one for myself! According to Maybelline's website... Their balms are described as 'no more basic lip balm, lip renew formula and 8 hour hydration for visibly renewed lips in 4 weeks, clinical care for baby-soft lips.'

There is no denying that the packaging of these lip balms is adorable! The shade I purchased is called 'pink punch' and I love how it looks on the lips! The lip balms are generally not a heavily pigmented lip balm and they are more like traditional tinted lip balms with a sheer wash of colour to the lips. However pink punch is a cool toned pink that appears almost orchid pink on my lips. These lip balms glide on the lips so effortlessly and the consistency is not heavy thick or waxy they are thinner balms that do not feel greasy.

I don't think these lip balms really deserve all the hype they received, as they are just like any other lip balm. However the packaging is adorable and the flavour and scent is lovely! Also 'pink punch' is the best for colour pigment and it looks lovely on. 

Urban Decay Optical Blurring Foundation Brush Review

After purchasing the urban decay naked 2 palette I decided to look into more of urban decays range, and I came across the 'optical blurring foundation brush' I was going to purchase the real techniques foundation brush, but I decided to go for this instead and IT IS THE SOFTEST BRUSH I HAVE EVER TOUCHED IN MY WHOLE LIFE! This foundation brush is absolutely faultless and I love it so much! When I saw a photo of the brush on the internet I thought, there is no way that the bristles can be as soft in person as they come across in this photo... But I was wrong... This is a picture of what the brush looks like in person... Yes, the softness is real.

As I said I cannot fault this foundation brush. Even though the brush was developed to be used with urban decays naked skin weightless ultra definition liquid foundation, it still works with every single other foundation that I have used. The bristles on the brush are INCREDIBLY soft and the synthetic, cruelty free hairs on urban decays brush are divine... No scratching or tickling! It also cleans and dries so fast and easy without any hairs falling out... The size of the brush is also perfect and easy to manipulate around your nose chin and eyes so that blending the foundation is a breeze!

Like the naked palette, this foundation brush may be slightly on the pricey side, but it is so worth it and it makes applying your foundation a hell of a lot easier. 

Coco Chanel vs Marc Jacobs Daisy

Coco Chanel vs Marc Jacobs Daisy... Hmm! Which is my favourite?!

Firstly, let's talk about the coco Chanel perfume. I sprayed Coco on my wrist in the store and I could still smell this wonderful scent through my coat on the way home! I love a strong scent that stays powerful during the day and I find this to be the case with Chanel fragrances. As soon as I tested Coco in the store I fell in love. It's such a warm, comforting scent, and so classy. Exactly how I want to smell and I feel it completes my outfit. This is not something you smell on every girl out there which makes me love it even more.

However, we also have the 'Daisy' perfume by Marc Jacobs. This perfume is completely different to the Chanel perfume! This scent is very light and fresh. I find it doesn't last as long as Coco and after a few hours I'm due a top up. It's a much more casual scent and not as sophisticated and classy as the Chanel fragrance. It's very nice, light and floral and it isn't at all overwhelming. I love the delicate airy sweetness of this scent, it is very summery and I really like it! 

I love them both and it really does depend on the situation as to which I wear. If I'm going out for lunch or too meet a friend, I would pick daisy over coco, because daisy is much lighter, and not as overwhelming as coco. However if I was going to a meeting or a night out, something slightly more sophisticated, I would definitely go for the Chanel fragrance, it is much more mature and classy. They are both beautiful scents and I would recommend both to anyone who is looking for a new perfume! I would recommend daisy to the younger audience as it is more suited to that age range, Coco is much more of an 'adult' scent.
