Revlon MATTE Lipstick In Smoked Peach

My favourite "drugstore" make up brands are Revlon, Collection 2000, Sleek and Bourjois. To me Revlon is the more sleeker, "high endish" (really don't think that's a word) make up brand from the drugstore. I have always looked at their lip products and thought they seemed like decent quality but never really delved into them. When doing my usual after work Superdrug trip on Friday and swatched almost everything on the back of my hand! I was looking at the Matte range Revlon offer and really fell in love with this shade.

The colour itself is the most perfect peach, it's not too nude and doesn't look orangey, just peachy! When first applying the lippy it feels like a MAC Creamsheen and then dries to a Matte finish. I really like the formulation as it doesn't leave my lips the slightest bit dry, just an even matte lip! It's really nicely pigmented and isn't bright. I would definitely recommend taking a look at the Revlon Matte lipstick range! They have some really lovely shades and are so reasonably priced!

Lots of love, Caterina xo

What I Bought This Week.

(Photo 1- All Primark, Photo 2- All Primark, Photo 3- Internationale, Photo 4- Primark, Photo 4- Savers & Superdrug.)

I love these type of posts! It's an opportunity to have a nose at what people spend their extra cash on. I bought the clothes mostly for my new job, I needed a work wardrobe! I love the chiffon scalloped shirt it's officey! The chinos were something I'd ad my eye on for a while and finally took the plunge and at twelve quid, what a bargain! The red top was something I already owned in a brown colour from Topshop, except obviously this Primark one was a zillon times cheaper!

I got a load of basics as they are so easy to chuck on with trousers, skirts or denim shorts! I particularly like the long sleeve ones but it was pretty busy at that bit of Primark so I only grabbed one.

The button up Internationale shirt is on of my fave buys! I can see myself wearing it a hell of a lot. It's such a nice off white colour too which will go with anything. The black tube skirt was a cheapy essential that I needed for work.

I love this studded wrap around bracelet! It really reminds of a belt I saw not so long ago, so pretty. I've heard quite a bit about these "Super Cosy" tights and how opaque they are, so I just had to buy them as I HATE sheer black tights with a passion, and on top of that they're cosy!

Finally I got some St Moriz Dark Mousse from savers and a couple of make up bits. The goldy colour from MUA reminds me of MAC's Amber Lights which I love. Got some coconut oil after hearing the wonders that it does to your hair. Lastly I got this Rimmel Moisture Renew lipstick in "Funtime Fuchsia" which has become a quick go to favorite this week! I love fuchsia and magenta pinks. I also got some Crest 3D White Strips, False Lashes and Duo Lash Glue but they haven't arrived yet. 

Hope you enjoyed the post!
