NARS LIPSTICK REVIEW

I have been looking at the new RiRi Woo for some time now along with the other two shades as well. However, the Mac website's lack of product means that even if I was going to buy it, I couldn't. 

I came across another nice deep red lipstick from Nars. I had never had a Nars lipstick before and was rather skeptical about trying this one. I know from previous experience that the Mac Matte lipsticks are quite drying and after a few hours of wear turn a bit flakey. Mac Lipsticks are only about £14, but Nars are around £18, so you can understand why I wasn't too sure whether to buy a Nars one and take a risk.

Anyway, I bit the bullet and splurged. Much to my delight, the Nars Matte Lipstick formula isn't drying one bit and glides on the lips really nicely.

Collection Lip Liner in "Paprika"

I had never bought a lip liner before so I went out on a limb and picked this one up. It was the closest I could find to match the shade of my lipstick and I'd say the two got pretty well. The lip liner is only around £2 and I bought this instead of a matching Nars one because Nars are a bit pricey... especially for pencils! Also, they are a lot more chunky which thus means you have to pay up once again to buy a chunky shapener!

I highly rate Nars Matte lipsticks and I will definitely be delving deeper into their lipstick seletion!

RiRi <3 MAC

I absolutely cannot wait to get my hands on the collection. I have been a big fan of MAC for about over a year now and I have been a fan of Rihanna since about the age of 11! I also am a big fan of the MAC lipstick in shade Ruby Woo. 

The moment I found out that Rihanna was releasing her own more deep red version, called RiRi Woo, I just had to get my hands on it!

Unfortunately, I can't find it anywhere. Even on the website, all of the RiRi stock is sold out.

If anyone knows where I can order any of it from pleaseee let me know! I cannot wait to give it all a try!

York

So, yesterday I made the most of sunny England and took a trip to York on the train. This was also my first ever time on a train. I was stood there on the platform finding it difficult to contain my excitement wondering why everyone else looked half asleep while downing coffees, haha. 

York is such a lovely place to visit and from Manchester takes just over an hour on the train. It's full of little trinket and souvenir shops, historic places, lovely buildings, like the York Minster, museums and restaurants.

We started off the day by fulfilling my inner-nerd's desire for museums. We headed to the railway museum and had a look at all the old trains. In the Great Hall there was a Japanese Bullet Train that we went and sat inside which was cool. The museum is one place in York that is free to see so it is well worth a visit even if you don't end up enjoying it that much.

After about an hour or so, we moved on. We ventured around the narrow streets and had a nosey in a few shops. Many of which were just chain stores, like Zara and H&M, to my disappointment. Any way, we ended up finding a few cute little shops that sold unique and lovely jewelry. Also, we had a nosey at The Shambles which is like a street you would see in a film. So adorable!

We got a little peckish and had a ponder on lunch. We had a peek at several menus for a lot of little pubs but I was craving a curry so didn't settle until I found one. Shortly after, we stumbled upon Yatess, which I know I can get at home but oh well, I hadn't been before anyway. Turns out, on a Thursday, Yatess has all food half price. Therefore, we got two meals and two drinks for about a tenner. What a bargain, eh.

Here is a few photos:

Miley

Ever since the age of around 10/11 I have been slightly obsessed with Miley Cyrus and as she has grown up so have I. With the release of her new single "We Can't Stop" and it hitting #1 on the iTunes chart pretty much straight away in over 18 countries I felt a post about her was needed!

I have seen every single episode of Hannah Montana, all of her films and read her "Miles to go" book several times. It has been so interesting watching her develop as a person and change her style so frequently. Her style and courage are so inspiring to me.

Here are a few pics of Miley that inspire my style personally:

I remember when I first saw this photo and was so shocked at Miley's weight-loss, so inspiring

The beginning of my Easy Jean obsession

too pretty

At the time, I was so jealous of her long and luscious locks 

I wasn't too sure about her new hairstyle at first but love it now

Her shorter brown/blonde hairstyle was possible my favourite (early 2012)

Again, how is her body so incredible?

Helps encourage me to keep fit

too cool

even cooler

That's enough if my Miley appreciation post! Listen to her new song: here

Orgasm Blusher - NARS

Nars Blush in 'Orgasm'

I'm sure you have heard of it. Yes, the Nars eyeshadow in shade 'Orgasm'. Well, when I went to buy this I was a bit too shy to ask the assistant for it so I coyly pointed at the shade and when "I want that one"... and then she laughed at me.

Along with this shade in the range goes Deep Throat, Super Orgasm and Sex Appeal to name but a few. I had heard of this blush from pretty much every blog I read and every Vlogger I am subscribed to. 

The packaging of the product is sleek and classy. Black and white, very simple. However, if you are one for keeping clean then this product might annoy you as every loose bit of powder or drop of foundation somehow finds its way to the case. I still love it though!

What I adore about this blush is its rosey pink colour and shimmery gold subtlety. The pink-ness isn't too over the top and the golden shimmer is perfect for adding a summery glow to your face even on the coldest and most horrid of rainy days!

I use the Bare Minerals Flawless Face brush to apply my blush.

Thanks for reading!

Photo Booth Fun

Now exams are over, it is clear that I am beginning to have a little too much time on my hands...

However, with all my spare time and summer coming up I am hoping to get back in the routine of updating and plan on doing more outfits posts instead of beauty because that's more where my interests lie...

See You Soon xxxx
