Beauty UK Lipstick - Plumalicious - Review

Today's mission was to find the perfect purple lipstick on a budget.

As you can see....this is not easy when on a 45 minute lunch break and so many brands to chose from! Personally I don't think myself and Beauties Unlocked swatched enough colours hahaha.

The colour I wanted it to be close to is Rebel by Mac. After a quick search online before we set off I decided it had to be Black Cherry by Revlon for £7.49. Unfortunately when I got to Superdrug, that was the only colour sold out....typical.

Finally we stumbled upon two, one was by Rimmel - Dark Knight Waterl-oops! which was £6.49 and the other by Beauty UK - Plumalicious £3.49

I decided on Beauty UK as they were the cheaper option and I was intrigued as to how the budget brands compare the lipsticks I already own.

The colour is just what I wanted, a deep rich purple/red. It lasted throughout my dinnertime meal without the need to reapply however it isn't a matte finish which I would prefer but I can't complain. A quick tissue blot and the shine is removed. A bonus feature of the product is that on the top of the lid is a small pot of lipstick which could be used either with your finger (messy with this colour though I imagine) or with a lip brush. This idea is also brilliant for picking out colours without having to remove every lipstick from the shelf to check you've got the right shade.

Anyone else have any amazing bargain buys??

Tiny little pay day haul

I am terrible when it comes to picking up things spur of the moment. For example;

• The coconut lip balm from Primark. I have millions of lip balms, but because it was on the till for £1 I had to have it.
• The Kate Moss lipstick. I only went to Boots for concealer, but when Rimmel have lipsticks on offer at £3.99 it's rude not to really.

Three little pay day treats that cost less than £10 :)

I've been on the hunt for a darker lipstick for a while now and this Kate Moss shade immediately caught my eye. It's got a slight purple tone which is exactly what i was after whilst still being a lovely bright colour on the lips that can be built up to the desired shade. It lasted me a whole meal at TGI Friday's and stayed matte throughout without needing to reapply.

Find it here for £3.99 (usually £5.49) 

& find the concealer here for £4.19

 I've never really used a concealer, but after hearing people rave about the collection one I had to go out and get it. It matches my skin perfectly and really does last all day. I've had a bit of a breakout this week (due to drinking a lot of water I think) and it covered any imperfections brilliantly. It also does an amazing job for covering dark circles.

There's not much to say about the Primark lip balm really. I just adore coconut so I had to have it. It smells lovely but it's not very soft in the tin - think Vaseline but harder. It'll do for the car though or to keep in my pocket at the yard.

Finished look below!

Anyone else bought any treats this pay day?
