an everyday lipstick...

I don't know if you guys know this but I have been having a predicament when it comes to my lipstick. I pretty much wanted a lipstick that was the closest colour I could get to my own lips while still being a bit coral-y. I wanted to have a fresh lipped look without it being too colourful. Something I could wear everyday and be easy to maintain, something that would be fresh and pretty. I have no problem with amazing, vibrant colours on a night our special occasion but at work it's just too much hassle to keep it topped up. I also wanted it to be quite moisturising. I don't want my lips cracking with it, which does happen with other lipsticks.

So on Saturday I found this lipstick. Soft coral (#600) from the Rimmel Moisture Range. It has a peachy/coral colour to it, shockingly close to my normal lip colour and is very easy to apply. My only problem with it is that it's quite shimmery... not in a nasty way but I usually like matte lipsticks. But it is definitely something that I can live with. It adds a hint of shine to my lips and keeps them looking full of life without going over board. It's like springtime on my lips... What a lovely idea!

I don't think I'm going to get any better, but it's early days yet...

modcloth joys...

I am beginning to get afraid... very afraid. Soon enough I will receive my very first big girl paycheck! Which, of course, is fantastic but it also means that I will have to force myself not to buy everything I see. This would be easy if only I could keep away from some of my favourite online window shopping spots. Spots like Modcloth, which is really not helping the whole situation of trying to be a good, responsible girl. It really is a danger for me to even venture onto their website. I can't help but want everything they put in front of me. This season is no exception. Their autumn-winter collection is to die for! The cuts are lovely, fitted and figure hugging while the colours are (as always) cute and vibrant. I think a treat may be in order but I will have to seriously think about my decision. 

It'll be like Sophie's Choice I'm sure...
