Tom Ford Lipstick - 04 Indian Rose

Don't we all lust for luxurious lipsticks? *Excluding those that can easily afford 'Tom Ford' lipsicks, but this is one about my one and only Tom Ford lipstick.

"Rare and exotic ingredients including soja seed extract, Brazilian murumuru butter and chamomilla flower oil create an ultra–creamy texture with an incredibly smooth application. Specially treated color pigments are blended to deliver pure color with just the right balance of luminosity."

-Selfridges website

Dressed in luxurious packaging, this lipstick is  my one little black and gold dime. As if it were real gold =P.
A little larger in size than regular lipsticks this thing is quite weighty. The lid has a very elegant 'TF' engraved into the top. Such simple but rather expensive looking design. It clips securely on and off so I've never had to worry about it coming off in my handbag and ruining the lipstick

Its very true about the moisture that's packed into this thing. I have felt moisturising lipsticks but I still have to apply lip balm. This glides on the lips effortlessly, oozing with pigments. The texture is very creamy but it doesn't bleed or slide. The formula is long lasting on the lips. It can be worn lightly dabbed on the lips or layered for a more intense colour.

Indian Rose was the colour I opted for out of all. Why? Its the shade that I could use most. I vary from NC25 - NC35 skintone (Mac) and this acts as a perfect everyday pink that I can make use of. I'm not spending £36 on a colour that I won't hardly use.

Overall, I love this lipstick, more than the only two Chanel ones I already own. I need to invest another!

New Nude Love - Loreal Collection Privee Cheryl

I'm not really a fan of nude lipsticks. My old time favourite was Mac's 'Faux' likpstick for a wearable everyday colour.

I have found a new fave! Loreals Collection Privee Lipstick - Cheryl's colour. 

At first I saw swatches and reviews online but the colour swatches never tempted me! But the packaging however.....phwoof! Matte black and shiny gold together is just so sexy! All this black and gold trend towards the end of 2013 was so me! The only other things I can think of black and gold (lipstick wise) were Chanel and Tom Ford. Who could resist hey? =) *smirk*  It's also kinda cute that they have all the celebrities signature on the fronts of them too!

The limited edition collection are tailor made nudes that each of the L'Oreal models wear. The models were - Julianne Moore,Freida Pinto, Doutzen Kroes, Eva Longoria, Cheryl Cole, and Liya. Each of the models have different skintones and are of different ethnicities so I figured, hey, I should be able to find something for me, and I did!

Originally I thought that the Eva one would suit me better because I am not extremely pale but I'm not overly dark either. But noooo it was a bit too browny purple toned for my skin. This was the best pink nude for me (currently NW20 in Mac).

Escuse my used lipstick marks, but how can you ignore the posh markings on the inside of the lipstick. They also smell like the good old soft sweet smell that Loreal lipsticks have. What would you describe it as? I dunno but it's beautiful!

The lipstick itself is very sheer but buildable which is great. On the lips it gives that little bit of colour without it being too overpowering. You also won't get your lips cracking with this at all it's so moisturising! Staying power is not the best but for me to find a nude that doesn't wash me out is like the best thing ever! I guess the sheerness and hydration factors are what make the lipsticks so universally attractive.

These are still currently on sale at Boots still for £8.19 here.
