[A late] November Favourites

Hello all!

I am so happy December is here. I have been munching my chocolates everyday from my calender, decorating the office, listening to Michael Buble's velvety tones on the radio and getting my Christmas shopping done....maybe not as fast as Id like but hey theres always panic buying....eek!

November was a busy month for me adjusting to my new job and job role but I'm glad to report I'm settling into a routine quite nicely from week to week and enjoying where I work. I thought Id show you what Ive been loving over November and what I will doubtless be loving over December too.

With Face products I have been loving Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation and Estee Lauder double wear. The double wear lasts me through my long days, but I also really enjoy the luminosity of the Wake me Up Foundation. I always use my Real Techniques Buffing Brush to apply my foundation and it smooths out my base perfectly. I also use the small Real Techniques brush to apply Benefit's Erase paste to my under eye area.

I am always mixing up my blush throughout the week. It depends on what colours I'm wearing and whether I am going for a bold of natural look. I really have been embracing a rosier cheek over November. Her Blooming Cheek is a limited edition which is very similar to MAC Dollymix, little is more and I love the hot pink flush it brings to my cheeks. Nars Deep Throat is another favourite, fairly understated with a silver shimmer running through it it brings definition to the face an compliments a stong eye colour perfectly. The Accessorize baked blush is another gentle shimmer which brings wonderful luminosity to a look, its a brand I don't know an awful lot about but would love to try more of their products.

Nails have been high on the agenda over November, I have to confess that the Models Own Wonderland collection has been possibly my best nails purchase this year and my nails have been adorned with all types of sparkle throughout November. To tone the general sparkly campness of a glitter nail I have been using nudey colours such as Essie Mademoiselle which I think is a "my nails but better" colour. I really have been enjoying my nail combinations more than usual thanks to Models own, read my review here.

My lips have remained very office appropriate over November. I have been absolutely loving 17's new look Beehive lipstick and will post a full review out in due course. Its just wonderfully moisturising for this cold weather as is Honey is moisturising a more-pigmented-kinda-way.

Phew late better than never.
I cant believe how quick the holidays are coming around.

Rimmel Kate Moss 107

When browsing the new collection of Kate Moss Rimmel Lipsticks it was 107 that called to me. It was its autumn appropriate berry shade that drew me in.

Since purchasing I have been wearing this lippie non-stop.

It is the epitome of a multi-wear lipstick and transcends with ease from day to night.

I love how the deepness of its colour helps create that "done" look just by popping this lipstick on and the formula is very durable- ensuring I don't have the embarrassment of multiple cups of tea stained with lipstick prints when I am working.

The shade is much more pink toned when swatched but is a brilliant buildable colour.

An honourable mention to the packaging in a vibrant red I really like the look of this lipstick and think it is a eye catching alternative to the usual Rimmel lipstick line.

I have failed on the swatch front attempting to upload last night so for swatches of all of the Rimmel Kate Moss new range have a look at P0lar milk's post

I must say I am also very partial to the Kate Moss 110 shade...maybe on my next trip!

What do you think about the new Rimmel Kate Moss range?

Wishing you all a fantastic week!

Autumnal Berry Lip

This was nearly titled...yet another berry lipstick post.

I know there are lots flying about at the moment but I am loving them for Autumn. 

Be assured when payday comes about I will be whole heatedly be found in Boots stocking up my berry lipstick collection.

Now this is a colour I picked up a few weeks ago.

I love its colour, the almost-lipgloss-like finish and the packaging.

For someone who openly admits to having lipstick issues I really don't spend too much of my money on high street lipsticks. 

If its bold and bright Ill be heading towards the MAC counter in a shot. 

In a way I am kicking myself a little at my somewhat lipstick-related narrow minded thinking.

This calibre falls into the "wearable" category of berry lipsticks.

It hints at statement without being too over bearing and shys away from that berry lip your Nana would faithfully wear regardless of season or occasion.

I am building the courage to rock this shade in the office- only through lack of enthusiasm of the whole reapplication-in-the-office-thing more than anything else.

If you wish to see what it looks like on have a look at my Estee Lauder foundations review- I'm wearing it there

I think when swatched it comes across much more pink toned which I like.

Amethyst Shimmer is available at Boots

If you are into a matt finish Amethyst Shimmer is also available within Rimmels Lasting finish range

Safe to say I will be swinging by the moisture renew Rimmel counter very soon.

What is your favourite berry lipstick shade?
