Hello again, I am back on the blogging scene (at last)!
Today I thought i'd show you guys some of my favourite recent purchases. I've been going a bit crazy on the lipstick front for the last couple of months so i've only picked out a few to show you instead of listing every single one.. Enjoy!

- Me Me Me Beat the Blues Sunbeam Highlighter - I really love this highlighter, it's relatively inexpensive (around the £5 mark, I think) and it gives you a lovely healthy looking glow. You also get quite a lot of product for your money.
- 17 Blush Powder in Nude - Again, this is a pretty inexpensive product. It's a lovely colour for me as I have really pale skin and the consistency is perfect for building up colour.
- Saffron London Nail Polish in 07 - This is by far the prettiest nail varnish I own. The sparkles in it are practically sequin sized and it makes any base colour look so pretty and girly. The only downside is that it takes an absolute age to dry...
- Max Factor Max Effect Mini Nail Polish in 01 Ivory - I really wanted a shiny gold nail polish for spring/summer this year and so far I havn't been able to find the right one (i'm very picky when it comes to nails..). I picked up this little bottle at superdrug a couple of weeks ago. Personally, it's a little too sparkly for what I was looking for but if you build up the color with a couple of coats you end up with a very nice soft gold colour. Not bad for the time being! I also really like the shape and size of the bottle.
- Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in 415 Pink In The Afternoon - Beautiful colour, beautiful texture, beautiful smell, nice staying power. I think this is a nice all rounder lipstick which'll look as good in winter as it does in the summer. I'm normally a bit conservative with my lipstick colours so this pink is actually a bit unusual for me!
- Revlon Colourburst Lip Butter in 005 Sugar Frosting - You've probably all seen the rave reviews about the new revlon lip butter range so I won't go on about it. I was pretty excited when I first saw them in the shops and picked up this one as soon as I saw it. The texture is lovely and glossy and feels hydrating. The colour is very wearable and i'm hoping i'll be able to get my hands on a few more very soon.
- L'Oreal Caresse Lipsticks in 01 Fashionista Pink and 501 Nude Ingenue - I actually prefer these to the Revlon Lip Butters even though they are pretty much the same concept and price. I think what swings it for me is that I prefer the colours in the L'Oreal range (I know the range is tiny, but I just LOVE fashionista pink) and I think the packaging is cuter too (it kind of remins me of YSL lipsticks...).
I'd love to hear your thoughts on these products. Have you tried the Revlon Lip Butters or the L'Oreal Caresse Lipsticks? Which one was your favourite?
Thanks for reading,
Lily xoxo
