12 days of lipstick #8,#9 and #10

Sorry for not posting yesterday and today - I basically forgot all about it and then I had work so no time to write up a full post. So Boxing Day and Friday were slightly missed out - so let's catch up. I Also didn't leave my house on Boxing Day so I didn't feel the need to put anything other than my nuxe reve de miel on my lips. So yeah for day 8 my lip product was my Nuxe lip balm - see a couple of days ago for info.

The 27th I went to work so I decided to sport my MAC So Chaud lip stick - I chose this because it has insanely good lasting abilities and the colour isn't like my usual reds. I hold a lot of love for this lip stick. 

                                     

This picture really doesn't do it justice though - it looks more red than it actually is. In person - if you have this - it is really more orangey. So beautiful. Can we all please take a minute to appreciate how lovely it is?

So today, day 10 the 28th. I didn't do much. Had a bath with some of my wonderful Christmas presents - they were bath items, would be weird of me to bathe with non bath products. I did some exercise and I filmed a couple of YouTube videos. So makeup was worn - it was minimal and lip colour was applied. The lip colour I decided to go for was Maybelline's Colour Sensational in 540 Hollywood Red. Its a very pretty dark pink / purple colour. I think it looks very elegant and classy. Some what more grown up than my other lipsticks.                                                
                               
Sorry about there being 3 days in the one post. Tomorrow will be different. (hopefully)

12 Days of Lipstick #4

So I had another lazy day today. Only left the house to walk my dog - so really there was no need for make-up meaning the only thing to touch my lips was lip balm. The lip balms I sported today were first of all the Lucas Paw Paw - seen in yesterdays post - and the super luxurious Nuxe Reve de Miel lip balm.

I've been using this lip balm for around 5 or so months, every morning and night. I have definitely noticed a difference in how my lips feel since I started using this. I adore the smell of it - sort of a zesty scent (smells kind of fizzy as well). I think I have a review of this on my blog so you can check that out if you like. This is a little expensive for a lip balm but it is so so so worth it.

Day 5 will be a lipstick post - I promise.

Nuxe Reve De Miel Lip Balm

I was over the moon when I opened my present from my brother and there sat a beautiful lip balm. I had been lusting after this for months and was so happy thrilled when I saw my brother had bought me this. My mum couldn't understand why I would want a lip balm so much that costs almost £10. I honestly at the time only wanted it because it sounded nice and luxurious. Essie Button had a huge part to play in  me wanting this.

Usually when I put on lip balm I need to reapply it about 10 minutes later. But not with this. I put this on before bed and I can still feel it on my lips when I wake up in the morning. I think that is crazy good. My lips were in a horrible condition, but now, now my lips are happy and healthy.
This may seem like a pricey lip balm, but it is the best bloody lip balm in the world! It comes in a pretty frosted glass jar, that is quite heavy considering the size. It has a lemony sherbety scent. It smells lovely, like a fizzy citrus.

I've had a lot of lip balms in my years, and this feels utterly amazing on the lips. The texture is unlike any other I have had. Its not glossy like all the other balms I have had, its quite matte on the lips. The balm is firm, but when you touch it it softens in your fingers.
If you suffer from dry lips then you need this in your life, you can get it from quite a few places and it costs £9.50. 100% worth it.

Whats your go to, must have lip balm?
