The Orange Lip #1

Had you told me this time last year that I'd be wearing and loving an orange lip, I'd have laughed in your face. Seriously, I'd have thought you were mad. Turns out you wouldn't have been so mad, though, because that is exactly what I've been doing recently. I have a couple of products to show you, but we're starting today with Revlon's Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in 'Rendezvous'. 

A few points about the product:

• It smells nice and minty.
• It can be twisted up, meaning that you don't only get the little nib/end that you can see in the photo.
• The product feels moisturising and soft on the lips even hours after application.
• Like most products, this tends to wear away over time until there's an orange ring around the edge of the lips. Attractive, much?

Now the winter months are over and we can leave behind the maroons, the purples and the deep reds, orange seems like a fabulous alternative to a fuchsia pink. 

What do you think? Have you been brave enough to sport an orange lip? Let me know in the comments below :)

A Simple FOTD

There's a first time for everything, and today I'm sharing my first Face of the Day with you all. I had a presentation to do at uni today and then a nice late lunch with my future flatmates (plus our friend Dominic) so I made a bit of an effort hair-wise ('a bit of an effort' = putting it in a bun and letting it dry so it goes wavy). Speaking of hair, mine appears to have given itself a bit of an ombre effect, as the tips are much more red in colour than my roots these days, and I don't dye my hair at all.

Products used:

YSL Le Teint Touche Eclait foundation in BD40

YSL Touche Eclait in 1

Revlon bronzer in Sunkissed Bronze' 

Maybelline Dream Touch blush in 'Berry'

Mac powder (I genuinely can't remember, it could be a Select one...)

Mac 'Omega' eyeshadow (used on eyebrows)

Benefit 'They're Real' mascara

Max Factor Lipfinity in 'Iced'

Have you tried any of my FOTD products? Let me know in the comments below!
