Benefit Kissy Missy Lip Kit - First Impressions.

Hi peeps!! 

So it's now Christmas Eve and I just can't get my head around the fact that it is this date of the year!! I apologise for the lack of posts recently but here we are in this new post. I hope you're all getting really excited for Christmas Day tomorrow as I know that I am?! This year is so much more special for me and this is because Ciara is now in my life and she's the one precious little girl that I can love and spoil which excites me and makes me so happy. She's now 10 months old. 
Anyway this post is actually about a new beauty product that I treated myself to, today. It's the new Benefit Kissy Missy Lip Kit. On first impressions, I feel that my opinions on it are mixed. I do hope that all of my opinions change as I get used to the products. 
 
In the kit you get; 2 mini They're Real! Double the lip - revved up red. Pink Thrills. 
2 mini Benetints which match the lipsticks. 
I absolutely love the packaging that this kit comes in! It's like a tin with fun and bright colours. It's easy for me to open and close which is a bonus as I tend to struggle with certain packaging and containers. 
The lipsticks have their own built in lip liner in the pointy bit and I quite like this. This will save time as you won't have to apply lip liner and lipstick separately. It's not too big so it's easy to apply in the inner corners and around the Cupid bow area. I found the lipsticks to be nice and creamy, definitely didn't feel too heavy or wet on my lips. The shades are nice but not as bold as I thought they would be which I wasn't too happy about but they'd be perfect for every day wear. The Revved Up Red was quite pink toned, would you agree? 
From Top L to R... with no product on lips. To the Revved Up Red Lipstick.
From Bottom L to R... with the pink Benetint and then the Pink Thrills Lipstick on top. 

The tints, I weren't too sure if I had applied it correctly despite there being a little guide on the little pamphlet inside the kit. I didn't know whether it was supposed to make your lips sting as lip plumping products tend to do. My lips did feel a little stingy but not a great deal. Perhaps I didn't put enough on although I applied more than a few drops as instructed in the pamphlet?! I'd be interested to try the tints under other lipsticks to see what the effect would be like. I will however keep trying the kit out over time so that I can hopefully say that it was worth giving a try. At the moment, I'm just glad that I didn't pay full price as it was on sale for £19.50 in Debenhams. I will post an update to let you know if my opinions change or not, sometime early in the year. Do you have this kit? If yes, what were your thoughts on it? 
Anyway that's enough from me and I hope you all have a fantastic day on Sunday! Look on my previous posts to see where to contact me at, if not in the comments section on here. Lots of love and best wishes to you all for the festive season 🎄🎅🏼⛄️😘❤️xxx

Children with Gadgets

Hello everyone, I've been thinking back to a few weeks back when I was having a conversation with somebody. The topic was about kids having technical gadgets like games consoles, kindles, iPads and so on.  Going back to when I was a child, we didn't have all of these. Yes we had an Atari but that was for the whole family and I was in my teens by the time we got it. I had actual children's toys like Lego, Sindy dolls, and other toys. For the days that it rained or was too cold, I'd spend hours playing with these toys and I enjoyed arts. I'd do painting, making things and writing stories.  I liked to play out on the street with the other kids on the street. There were skipping ropes, pogo sticks and that ball with the rope toy etc. It was so much fun and meant we  learnt how to be creative, socialising and getting the exercise needed.  Another thing that kinda annoys me is when parents give their little kids kindles and iPads or even putting a DVD on fo

Child Prodigy

It was just the other day when I came across a documentary by Keith Allen filming James Harries who is now known as Lauren Harries. Does the name ring a bell to you? He was the 80s/90s child prodigy who claimed to know about Antiques. He had thick, curly blonde hair and always wore a dicky bow tie. I'll post a picture of him as a young boy, I'm sure you'll remember him when you see him. Back to the documentary. James is now Lauren after a sex reassignment operation. I actually think she still seems confused and delirious. In fact the whole family are living in a world of fantasy, delirious, disfunctional and delusion. All the way through I kept an open mind, in a way, I kind of felt sorry for them. All those years ago, Mark and Kate must have been really desperate to push their youngest son into the limelight forging a claim that he could do antiquing at such a tender age. I thought it was good that Lauren had counselling during the treatment but when i

How I Created This Eye Look!!

Image
Hi everyone! I want to tell you how I created this eye makeup look on myself from last week. I think it looks really nice and quite natural which is great for every day style.  The products that I used are as follows; Rimmel UK - Pinkadilly Circus Eyeshadow Palette ‘Rosie for Autograph’ by Marks and Spencer - Cream Eyeshadow Stick GOSH COSMETICS - Forever Eyeshadow Stick Avon UK - True Colour Glimmersrick Eyeliner  Benefit Cosmetics - Bang BadGal Mascara  How I created this eye look . I started of by applying the the lightest shade which is a white colour all over the lid as a base.  Then using the light pink along the crease line and all over the lid. Starting from a third off the inner corner, I applied the slightly darker shade just along the lid.  Then with the darkest shade which is like a dark pinky/brown in the outer corner. This creates like a smokey eye effect. I didn’t think it was showing up as much as I hoped so I decided to apply some of the ‘Rosie’ Eyeshadow Stick in the
