Maybelline Baby Lips - really worth the hype?

Possibly the most highly anticipated beauty product of the year, the Maybelline Baby Lips have been ever so sought after and have become a huge hype in the States before coming over the UK in August.

I’m honestly so disappointed. Now, I do really love the “Cherry Me” one, because it tastes so lovely, leaves a really nice colour and feels really hydrating. However, the other two that I own, “Hydrate” and “Pink Punch”, are not very moisturising at all, in fact after wearing them for a while, my lips actually feel drier than before I put it on - should that not be the opposite?! (“Pink Punch” however does have a really nice colour, I have to admit.)

Have the Maybelline Baby Lips lived up to the hype that came with them? No, I really don’t think so! It’s so disappointing because I was so excited for them. I do still love my Cherry Me Baby Lips though!

October Wish List

It’s been a while since I’ve done a wish list, so I thought I would today and let you know what things I’ve been lusting over this month so far!

NARS Sheer Glow Foundation

WHAT THEY SAY: “A glowing, natural radiant finish foundation with sheer and buildable coverage that immaculately evens skin tone. Replete with skincare benefits and the NARS Complexion Brightening Formula, it leaves skin hydrated, more luminous, softer and smoother. Used daily, Sheer Glow Foundation improves the skin's brightness and texture.”

I’ve seen a lot of YouTuber’s use this foundation and it looks really nice. They recommend it for normal to dry skin - I am normal/combination, but I have heard that it’s not great on dry skin as it clings to dry patches (not good!). Though rather pricey, I do really want to try it - plus the packaging looks ever so chic.

NARS Sheer Glow Foundation retails for £30.50 and is available HERE

MAC Paint Pot in Painterly

WHAT THEY SAY: “A highly pigmented eye colour that goes on creamy but dries to an intense, vibrant finish. The next generation of a popular M·A·C formula, Paint Pots maintains all the intense traits of its inspiration. Long-wearing, colourfast. Creates seamless coverage without weight or caking. Blends smoothly over the lids. Cream-based, can be mixed with M·A·C shadows and liners. Available in satin, cream, frost, and pearl formulas.”

I’ve been wanting this for so long as it will be such a great neutral eyeshadow base, plus I’ve been absolutely loving cream shadows recently too! The shade "Painterly" is described as "nude beige".

MAC Paint Pots retail for £15 each and are available HERE

Illamasqua Neutral Palette

WHAT THEY SAY: "Create sculpted highlights and stark contours anywhere on your face and body with these four pivotal Powder Eye Shadows. From our new antique gold shade, Vintage - exclusive to this palette - and matt shades Stealth (creamy buttermilk) and Wolf (rich chocolate brown), to the smoky charcoal depths of new shade Obsidian (rich black), express your inner light and darkness with riotous glamour."

I am a huge fan of Illamasqua, and also a huge fan of neutral eyeshadow palettes! This palette looks so gorgeous and I can't wait to get one!

The Illamasqua Neutral Palette retails for £24 and is available HERE

Laziness

As you may well know, I posted only twice in September, and, a week into October this is the first thing I have posted.

This is definitely down to three things: being exhausted from dancing all day at college, having writer’s block for so long and generally just being lazy.

I said in my last post, I was going to get back into a routine of my blog in September. As that clearly didn’t go to plan, now I am going to try and upload at least twice a week (hopefully) until I get a little more free time.

In the mean time, I’m uploading tomorrow afternoon; so not to miss that, you can follow my blog on Bloglovin’ HERE (you’ll get notified when I’ve uploaded posts).
