Maybelline Colour sensational Lipstick review!

Hello!! Today I am going to be doing a review of the Maybelline colour sensational lipsticks.
So I had been watching a lot of reviews about these on Youtube and there has been so much hype that I gave in and had to buy.. 4!
There are so many shades to chose from and I spent about a good half an hour in Superdrug umming and aahing over which ones to get.
So I got these 4?!
630 Velvet Beige, 255 Mauve Diamonds, 932 I'm Mauved and 852 Coral Pearl
 I decided to get these 4 as they were all really pretty colours and I really liked the packaging. 
Number 932 in I'm Mauved is a really deep mauve and I've never worn a shade like this before, I'm normally a pink/nude girl so I've had some fun experimenting with how to wear these without looking too vampy. (I love the vamp look but I don't feel confident wearing it).
Left is 630 Velvet Beige, 255 Mauve Diamonds, 932 I'm Mauved and  852 Coral Gleam
So these lipsticks cost £7.19 each but I got them on the 3 for 2 deal at Superdrug which is a good deal. From the swatches you can see that they are really shiny and not matte at all so if you normally go for matte lipsticks then I wouldn't recommend these for you. 
This is 255 Mauve Diamonds.
Mauve Diamonds is a really shiny shade, its very pretty and it has the most shimmers in it. Due to the shimmers I think this one is a little harder to apply. However it is my favorite out of the 4!
630 Velvet Beige
Velvet Beige is the most neutral of my 4 colours. It's like a browny pinky colour that isn't too bright but is really pigmented.it goes on really easily.
932 I'm Mauved
I'm Mauved is the darkest of the shades, It goes on really easily and is such a beautiful purply rose colour. I was a bit apprehensive at first but i'm starting to love this shade.
852 Coral Gleam 
And Lastly this is Coral gleam. This is the one I wear when I want some shimmer but I don't want my lipstick to be the first thing you notice make up wise. It is very pretty and would be really nice in the summer for a natural look. 

I'm sorry my pictures aren't very clear I have very bad lighting and its late.

I would say that these are good lipsticks and I can see why there was a lot of hype about them. They come in loads of shades .. 41 I think? including the popsticks, the pearls and the shine ones so that is a bonus! However Superdrug don't stock every single shade.
They go on really easily and feel like you have lipbalm on so that's a positive point as I personally don't like to feel like my lips are really caked with product. The packaging is quite cute too, all shimery and matching the actual colour of the lipstick which is handy if you want to find it quickly without actually having to examine it (I have a lot of make up..)
Staying power is.. Well as you'd expect really from a high shine product. They come off when you eat, drink, kiss etc but otherwise they last a good hour. I quite enjoy applying these so I don't mind so much. They do show the lines in my lips but I am yet to find one that doesn't. 

I am a fan of these lipsticks and I probably will buy more! I can't help myself when I'm in Superdrug or Boots.. I see the deals and have to buy make up :D

I would recommend these as they can be used for everyday use, or used to go out with. The vast range of colours means you can have one for every occasion.

Etude House Miss Tangerine Lucidarling fantastic rouge review!

Hey Guys! So today i'm going to be doing a review on two lipsticks that I bought from South Korea! They are from a company called Etude house which sell super-cute make up in adorable packaging. I mean, even the shops are pink! This is the link to their wesbite: http://www.etudehouse.com/eng/main.jsp#wrap 

So I brought these two lipsticks as I really liked their Miss tangerine line, and I love the free samples you get from the sellers. 
As you can see I have had them a while. 

I brought number 12 Fresh Pink and number 13 Coral tangerine and from first impressions they look really pretty and pigmented. The packaging is super cute too! :3

On the left is Fresh pink and on the right is Coral tangerine.
 The top colour is a swatch of number 12 Fresh Pink and the one underneath is number 13 Coral gleam.
 This is Fresh pink on my lips.
And this is Coral gleam.

So I find these lipsticks go on really easily, they're very creamy and very pigmented but not thick and dry which is good. They are very shiny too. The Fresh pink is quite a bright colour whereas the Coral tangerine could be worn in a more subtle way but both shades are really pretty. They don't tend to last too long though, I think this is due to how smooth and creamy they are, the Shine probably adds to that too. But the colours are outstanding so in my eyes they are worth it! They only cost me about £6.00 each with free postage and that's coming from South Korea so I think that's a really good deal. 
The website I order from is http://cosmetic-love.com/ And they send you free samples!

So I highly recommend these lipsticks and check out Etude House.
