How to perfect your lipstick | Pictorial

Imagen
 Sometimes just chucking on a lipstick isn't going to cut it, especially with some formulas that like to make their way over your face, or does that just happen to me? I've found that applying my lipstick this way, using different lip liners & doing it in different layers helps it to stay put & last a lot longer, too. This is not something that I do everyday but when I have time & I'm wearing a bolder lip colour I like to spend a bit more on the lips. 1. Line just outside of your natural lip line with a lip liner that is close to your natural colour if you prefer a fuller lip. Tip: If you're going for a nude lip, use a colour slightly darker than your lipstick. 2. Apply your lipstick of choice. It doesn't matter if you don't cover up the liner completely as we'll be going over that again. Make sure to really press your lips together to work the lipstick in. Tip: Use a lip brush with the first coat which helps the lipstic

June Empties & Product I'm Chucking Out

Is it really over half way through the year already?! Well I know I said I would do this bi-monthly but I figured I don't want to keep the post too long with too many products, & I'm trying to be more ruthless with using products up, so here are my current empties!





 Body
 Sex In The City Kiss Lotion: This is the 2nd bottle I've used up from my Christmas set, the lotions aren't too bad but if they were available separately I probably wouldn't bother.
Garnier Body Intensive 7Days: I love these lotions but out of the ones I've tried, this is probably my least favourite. I can't really tell if my skin looks brighter, but I've already bought a replacement with the hydrating lotion.

Hair
 PPS The Ends: My miracle hair treatment that I apply to only the ends after washing, my split ends aren't as bad, it smells so nice & my hair feels amaazing afterwards. You can also use it on dry hair to tone down frizz. Bought another, I can't live without this stuff!!
Wella High Hair Colour Protection Milk: I like to use these colour protection sprays/ serums after washing to ensure my colour doesn't fade. It's hard to tell how effective it is, but I like this spray anyway. Not sure if this line from Wella is available any more but I want to try something different anyway.
RPR My Quick Fix dry shampoo: This is a pretty good dry shampoo, I can't find what the differences in dry shampoo between brands are but this does the job. I've got a different brand that I'm trying but if I did need a new one and came across this I'd buy it again.

Makeup
 Nude By Nature Mineral Primer: I was only using this up because I got it in a Christmas set a couple of years back. I don't like the way it feels on my face, kind of a drying tacky feel, but my makeup seemed to last pretty good with it anyway, but that could be due to anything.
BYS Curling & Lengthening Mascara: This is a purple mascara that I only used a couple of times, it seemed to lengthen my eyelashes but I felt it was pointless to have this as I already have 3 other mascaras on the go that I like better.
Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer: I actually really liked this, but I have missed out on a lot of product that I can still inside but can't get to, due to probably winding it when I didn't need to & not being able to open it to get the access products out. I will probably buy this again later if I don't find something I like better.
No brand palette: This is actually one of my first palettes I've ever gotten and I almost hit pan in a couple of the eyeshadows, I think I got this from Target. I was going through some stuff & found this and I haven't used it for years, It's too cheap to give away to anyone and I don't want to keep it for "play" makeup haha so it's time to go.
All About Glo Bronzer: Soo as you can see it's a bit of a disaster, it's very hard to use lightly because there is so much fine dust everywhere, and I don't use it anyway & it's also not something I would want to give away!

What products did you finish in June?
