...Diorshow Waterproof Liner - Rosy Gold

I've seen Michelle Phan using a rose gold eyeliner in many of her recent videos on YouTube and I completely fell in love with the way that it brightened and opened up her eyes! I looked all over Boots for a similar one but I couldn't find anything in the cheaper makeup sections...

So I took a deep breath and headed to the Dior counter (oh dear, oh dear, oh dear).

 "Wow... That's really pretty..."

 "£18?! No, I couldn't possibly spend that much on an eyeliner..."

"Limited edition, you say? And it comes with a little built-in sharpener?..."

*sigh* "...I'll pay by card."

And God it's so pretty! I could just sit and look at it! The colour pay off is amazing and it stays put for hours without smudging or moving around. And the tiny sharpener is such a cute little detail, not that it's really needed since the nib is so thin anyway.

I've already had compliments on my makeup and I really am so glad I caved, it was the last one in stock! BOOM!

As usual the picture quality isn't great, but I still think the liner looks lovely. This is the only makeup I'm wearing on my eyes, it's such an easy way to make your eyes look bright and awake. I've never owned anything limited edition before, mostly because it takes me so long to decide to buy something. I have to ponder a product for a good few weeks and read lots of reviews before I'll buy it. But now I own limited edition Dior I feel like part of an exclusive, fancy club! Woo!

It also makes a great highlighter for the cupids bow and the brow bone. The multitasking makes me feel a lot better about the price.

Winter Lips

I own a lot of lip products, I hate to admit it, but probably too many...

What am I talking about?! There's no such thing as too many lip products!

Here are a few that I've been reaching for most since it's gotten colder. Bolder lips are always a winner in the winter, they make a great contrast against paler, sun-less skin.

From left to right...

Mac Satin Lipstick in Film Noir - A very dark berry colour.

Rimmel London Lasting Finish Lipstick by Kate in 107 - I think nearly everyone and their mother owns this, but for very good reason. A matte berry/purple; the photo does not do it justice.

Rimmel London Lasting Finish Lipstick by Kate in 01 - A glossy, dark blue-red.

Diorific Haute Couture Long Wearing Lipstick in Dolce Vita - A matte orange-red.

MaxFactor Lipfinity Lasting Lip Tint in 03 - Another berry shade, more sheer than a lipstick but builds like a dream.

But what would winter be without some gorgeous lip balms to beat chapped lips away?!

Burt's Bees Lip Balm with Pink Grapefruit - Grapefruit is the best scent in the world; it's so cheerful and refreshing!

Clinique Chubby Stick in Two Ton Tomato - A sheer but fairly bright red. If I could buy one of these in every colour I would *sigh*.

Also... Isn't the fake snow in Plymouth so pretty? It hasn't snowed here in over 150 years, how depressing!

These are a Few of my Favourite Things...

The candle (lemon scented - Next) makes everything look so much prettier.

The lipstick above is Christian Dior - Diorific Haute Couture Long Wearing Lipstick in Dolce Vita. It is without a doubt, the nicest lipstick I've ever used.

Now, honestly, my photos still aren't great. I put that down having a camera that is 7 years old! (Excuses, excuses.) But I think they're getting better! Putting the candle in the background was just for the light at first, because my camera flash is broken, but it came out rather festive!

But I'm not saying the "C" word... Not yet.
