My go to travel mini for makeup is always my Benefit Cha Cha tint, this little mini lip and cheek stain is perfect for anyone on the go that wants a two in one product. I use this mainly when I want to make my face pop as the coral shade may seem a little too bright for some people but it works well at creating a really nice make up look.

Beauty | Soap and Glory Blaze Of Glory Lip Gloss
I normally stay clear of Soap and Glory makeup as it always looks so beautiful but it is out of my price range, so when I saw an £8 lipstick in there clearance section for £1 I wasn't going to leave it there was I! I picked up there Spectaculips Galactic Glaze lip gloss in the shade Blaze Of Glory and was very excited to see what it looked like on.
SS16 Lips - Most Worn
This Summer I've been using three lip products the most and have decided to share them with you, I've picked out two lipsticks and a lip gloss so there is something for everyone in this post!
Bourjois BB Gloss 5in1 02
Bourjois is a brand I've heard loads about but never really picked up a product from there range, but I was browsing my local TKMaxx and came across a BB Gloss from the brand and decided to pick one up. I went for the shade 02 which is for medium skin tones, I like the idea of having this skin tone numbering as sometimes it's hard to pick the right lip gloss for your skin type.
Tanya Burr I Found Nemo Lip Gloss
I'm a massive lover of the Tanya Burr lip gloss collection and picked up a new one which is the very pretty I Found Nemo from Superdrug for just £6.99. I picked it up thinking it was a new one but found out it was just the packaging that had change, I didn't mind at all as the new packaging suits the products really well.
Accessorize Retro Lip Duo
I did a small review on this product in my Blogmas series but wanted to do a full review to share such a great product. It's from Accessorize and is this retro lip duo of a lipstick and a lip gloss that comes in very retro and funky packaging.
Rimmel Provocalips - Liitle Minx
I've recently seen quite a few reviews for the Rimmel Provocalips 16 hour wear kiss proof lip colour and was really happy to see some in my local store. If the reviews hadn't been good I wouldn't off picked one up as the price is £7.99 which is a bit much for a lip gloss, but as the reviews has all be positive I went for the nice pink shade.
There are 8 shades in total and the product claims to be a 16 hour wear transfer and food proof and oh course kiss proof, it also states to be a highly moisturising product which doesn't dry the lips out. Sounds pretty awesome right, it's a good job I agree!
The packaging is cute and girly with two 4ml tubes attached to a double ended wand for applying the lip gloss, with kissed stained one end and the colour of the product the other you can't really go wrong with the packaging, The product has an odd scent as the colour doesn't smell to nice a bit like plastic but then the clear end has a nice fruity scent which was odd to me but once on the lips you can only really smell the fruity scent which is good.
Now for the important part did it have all the quality's it boasted about having!? I tested the kiss proof out on my little brother by giving him a big jammy kiss on his cheek and there was no transfer lucky for him, the food transfer I tested with a lunch off soup and bread and the product managed to stay on throughout my meal which really impressed me. It left my lips moisturised and made them feel nice and soft which is great as you don't want a product on your lips for 16 hours if it's going to dry them out and make them look horrid and chipped.
The colour was great a nice shocking pink for nights out and when I'm feeling a bit more outgoing, it did last all day on my lips as well and at the end of the night when it came to taking my make up off it was still going strong which I loved. It states you will need an oil based cleanser to remove the product so I tested it out with my Bioderma and my Liz Earle cleanser and they both pretty much got it off with a bit of scrubbing.
Overall I was highly impressed with the product and would really recommend it as they have enough colours in the collection for you to defiantly find one you love! Let me know if you do pick one up and if you find it as impressive as I did.

100% Natural Lip Roll-On
I brought this product around two weeks ago in Brighton and have loved using it, I brought it from The Body Shop and found it at the counter so i'm pretty sure it's a new product as my local store doesn't stock it yet. In total there are 5 different scents Coconut, Berry, Mint, Rose and the one I have Orange and at £4 there a great buy, I would love to try out Rose as I've never tried a lip product in that scent before.
To apply the product it's like any normal lip balm except it's a metal roll on which is quite cool so ideal for summer use, the product is quite sticky but goes on nicely. The scent is strong but doesn't taste to strong (it was by accident I tasted it!) and I found it left my lips really fuller and softer straight away which really impressed me.
The product is 100% natural including using soya to soften the lips and keep them kissable all year round!

Tanya Burr Nail's and Lips
I had finally at the start of June got my hands on some of the Tanya Burr range at the Brighton Superdrug and was so excited to try them out. I picked up Be Bright ,Be Happy, Be You and Little Duck nail varnish as well as Exotic Island lip gloss.
The lip gloss has to be my favorite product as the scent it just lovely it's really fruity and smells almost like fruity bubblegum which I love. The bottle is sleek and handbag friendly with a simple black lid and a simply design, the applicator is an odd one it's a flat design which looks quite odd but does make it easy to apply the lip gloss. The gloss goes on well and it's not to sticky or doesn't go on to thick, it last's around 2 hours before I felt the need to re apply which is good for a gloss.
The nail varnish are also great as they are highly pigmented and there is a great selection available, the paint went on my nails easier as it has a classic small brush which I love and it also didn't chip easily making it around 4 days before I felt I had to re apply or remove.
I can wait to select some more products from the range, what are your favorites?

Revlon Colorburst Sizzle Review
While in TKMaxx recently I had a mooch at there beauty range and spotted a Revlon Lip Gloss, a brand I've heard about but never picked up any of there lip products just there skincare range. I picked it up for £2.99 it's normal price is £7.99 so I have saved £5!
The colour looks like a bright orange and looks quite pigmented but once applied onto my lips is goes clear and glossy with a hint of orange, I loved the overall look of the lip gloss and even though I was expecting a bright orange I was happy with the sheer gloss instead.
The applicator is an odd one it's a flat brush which I've not seen before but I did however find it easier to apply to my lips using this brush instead of a normal lip gloss brush. It didn't hold to much product and it spread the gloss evenly over my lips, I also found it was quite a flexible brush making it easier to get to ever bit of my lips.
It lasted around 2 hours on my lips so it had to be re applied every now and then but it's quite a nice hand bag sized lip gloss so I didn't mind to much!

Spring Lips
For Spring my lips tend to be quite girly and shimmery with hints of pinks and orange tones, I love doing my make up in Spring as I tend to do it really natural and then add a pop of colour on my lips and I'm good to go. I've picked my favorite Lipsticks, Lip Gloss and Lip Balms for this season and hopefully they can help you out!
Lipstick
I've gone with MAC's Coral Bliss which is a cremesheen lipstick, it goes on well and lasts most of the day it has a nice shade of coral with hints of glitter.
Lip Gloss
I've gone for Model Co Strip Tease a rather odd name I never get why brands call there products things like Strip Tease! But this gloss is lovely it has a nice shimmery tone down pink colour with some sparkly glitter bits throughout, it doesn't last long but does come with a handy mirror if you do need to re apply which is very helpful.
Lip Balms
It the Spring I feel the need to still pamper my lips so I still use lip balms and have two which are my all time favorite. To add some colour yet still pamper your lips I use Baby Lips Cherry Me which is a dark cherry red but comes out a lovely light red shade leaving your lips really moisturised yet looking fab. I've also added my all time favorite lip balm I use all year the Nuxe Reve de Miel it has a fantastic scent and I find it moisturises my lips perfectly so I always grab this product!

Soap and Glory Sexy Mother Puckers Review
I usually only ever buy or look at Soap and Glory's bath and shower range but I was given a Mother Pucker set at Christmas and was eager to try them out. I was extremely impressed with the three I got as well as loving the adorable tin they came in.
Fuchsia-Ristic
This one looks quite bright and almost has a glow in the dark look about it but once applied I was rather happy. It comes out as a light pink with a lovely gloss finish, it does have a sticky feel but it's not to bad. Over all I think this one is perfect for summer or day trips out.
Nudist
As you can tell by the name this one is quite nude and almost sheer but it does have a nice caramel hint to it, I'm not to keen on nude lipsticks or gloss sticks but this once wasn't to bad and I found I could wear it for days or nights out quite easily.
Plum Jam
I adore the name for this gloss stick, it's a really nice deep autumnal shade with a lovely gloss finish. I found this once seemed to last longer then the other two and wasn't as sticky so it worked quite well as an evening out lip shade.
I would highly recommend this product as it's great value for money at £8, whereas one Mother Pucker on it's own comes in at £8 so while they're still available I would snap up the set!

Rimmel Apocalips Nova Review
I've heard about the Apocalips for a while now and never got round to buying one but in the Superdrug 3 for 2 offer on all cosmetics I bit up shade Nova, which is a girly pink shade. The first thing I noticed about the product is it has a funny smell to it kind of like Kiwi and Strawberry, it's not advertised to have a scent but it's a nice little bonus as the scent is quite nice.
The shade is very girly as it's a nice pale pink which is rather summery and cute, the texture is light and doesn't feel to sticky. I had around 3 hours wear before I felt the need to re apply, but saying that I only needed one coat on my bottom lip as its quite a nice large brush which holds the product well.
The Apocalips are available at Superdrug and Boots for £5.99 and come in around 10 shades, I was really impressed with mine and can see what the hype is about!
