Lippie of the Day: Day 2 Revlon Matte Balm in Showy

On Sunday I went to see Mad Max: Fury Road (Quick review: It was absolutely brilliant. It was a fun, stupid action film but also one of the most feminist films I've seen in a long long time. I absolutely loved it.) and so here is my lip of the day.

Revlon Matte balm in the shade Showy:

Showy is a bright, nearly neon, blue toned pink. The Matte balm formula is very nice. I don't find it actually moisturising as a lip balm is usually, however it feels very creamy and is not at all drying as a lotte of matte lip products can be. It glides on the lips very smoothly and have a smell of peppermint which I like.

 

(this photo is slightly washed out, the colour is brighter in real life)

And here I am making a stupid face 

 

As well as the lipstick I'm wearing black eyeliner (It was a felt tip one, I think it was Boots no 7 but I'm not sure as I just grabbed it from a load of eyeliners) and Illamasqua Illuminator in Halcyon (sadly discontinued) on my eyelids. I was too lazy for anything else.

I really want the purple Matte Balm called Shameless but I've never seen it in the UK :(

Has anyone else seen Mad Max? What did you think?

Just a few funny faces

Hullo everyone. Things are a bit hectic with me at the moment so as usual I am being rubbish with blogging. What a surprise! Lillian being a bit rubbish? Never! :P

Anyway I've just popped on to drop off a few faces, hope you like!

I wore my hair in a pony-tail for the first time in many years:

 

Behold my incredible lack of jawline!:

I  know I was wearing Sleek Candy Cane on my lips, have forgotten everything else though because I am rubbish.

Here is a photo of the one time I wore makeup on my trip to the arctic circle. There was absolutely no point in me glamming up as I was wearing ridiculous amounts of layers that covered most of my face. My hair looks awesome here though! All I'd done was blowdry it and it turned into a brilliant big mane.

   

Squinting. The sun was bright on the snow!

  

Wearing:

Face: Homemade Conjurers Cosmetics powder foundation, Sleek Pumpkin blush by 3 in Squash

Eyes: a few colours from the Sleek Storm palette, black mascara

Lips: Revlon lip butter in Candy Apple (applied very sheerly)

 And finally some absolutely terrible photos of a really fun glam look! I was drunk and used my phone as a camera hence the terrible terrible shots:

I'm going to redo this look as a tutorial soon because I like it.

How's everyone doing?

Swatcharama - Revlon Lipsticks

I really really love Revlon lipsticks and would buy a tonne more if I didn't already own basically every colour of lipstick available (and if I had any income boo hoo) . As it is I only have 5. They all apply smoothly and easily, are really pigmented, last a super long time and not even the matte shades are in the least bit drying.

Matte 006 Really Red - a lovely matte 'true' red that hints slightly towards the blue side of the spectrum.

  

More after the cut :)

A day and night FOTD

Have finally finished all the illustrations! Phew, i've been so stressed!

Last tuesday i went up to The Foundry, which is a pub/bar/artspace that allows anyone to put their work up on various walls.

Here is my face of the tuesday:


And close ups:



check out my insanely bloodshot eyes!


I was wearing:

eyes: Barry M Kohl pencil in no. 23, beautyuk glitter eyeliner in no. 5, givenchy phenomen'eyes mascara in black

Here is my night look, which was basically my day face but with some foundation and red lipstick:

Here's the changes:
Face: Nyx liquid foundation in LM01 Pale, ELF complexion perfection powder, Collection 2000 illuminating touch concealer in naked.
Lips: Revlon Matte lipstick in Really Red

And here's (most of) my wall and some people i don't know :P :


Last night i went to take my work down and discovered that between saturday night and sunday night someone stole 3 of my paintings. I am terribly upset about it. They weren't my favourite pictures or anything, but when you work hard and put your creativity into something and someone can just get away with taken things. This is how i'm going to make my living! It's just very hurtful.

I've been a very naughty poor person and had a huge haul recently. I just watched Confessions of a Shopaholic and found myself relating much too much to the main character! D:

Anyway i have a lot more time to blog now, so i'm back babeh.

Shopping!!!

So as you may have seen from my previous posts, i've been shopping something fierce recently!

Here's all i got (except for some christmas presents) from the Carnaby street sale:

Firstly i got this dress:



Which i have wanted for ages, but as it's Bettie Page Clothing (one of my favourite clothing companies) it was too expensive for me to usually even thing of buying. However... 20% off! The sizing in Bettie Page clothing are odd. On anything that is made of stretch material I can be anything from a medium to X-large and there really only seems to be the tiniest bit of difference between them, but with things without stretch i can't fit into anything less that an XX-large because otherwise my boobs get all squashed :P At the moment the size in stretch fabrics (this dress is stretchy) that fits me best is X-large, but the one i bought was just a large. It's a tiny bit too tight but really so little i figured it was worth it. They didn't have x-large in the black but said they could order it in, but that would take several months. I tried it in another colour in the X-large and to me it looked and felt exactly the same as the Large. It was a tiny bit tight, but such a small amount i figured it was worth it anyway. Also i'm hoping to lose a bit of weight :)

Shoes!





These were love at first sight. In a way they sort of reminf me of a funky-punky Margaret Thatcher :P These are by Poetic License, i got them in the Irregular Choice shop, so i guess they're some kind of sub-brand. And again, 20% off!

Some jewellery:



The heart bracelet was from Lazy Oaf. I really like it because i have disproportionately skinny wrists and generally hard bracelets like this don't fit me (i have the most beautiful giant see-through blue crystal heart one and it just slips off my constantly so i cant wear it :( ). The goldfish necklace and earrings are from Octopus. I had to get them because i have a very old painting somewhere of a girl with a (real) goldfish in a bowl for an earring, and they just reminded me of that. Also compared to the majority of my jewellery which is plastic and neon and gaudy these seem quite elegant and classy!


MAC:



Like i said, MAC was so full and busy i couldn't do any browsing, and thus no impulse buying, but i got a few bits that had been on my wishlist. So i got:
Prep and Prime Face SPF 50. I got this for the summer, so it will stay unopened until then!
Dazzleglass in Funtabulous. Have been wearing this a lot already. I love it's blue and purple pearl.
Violetta Lipstick. Just great and fun!
Lip Pencil in Magenta. To make up for the one i bought ages back that turned out to be just an empty box :(

Then today my girlfriend and i went to the cinema (we saw Up in 3D. It was wonderful. I cried and cried) and afterwards i had a little shop while i was in town. I bought the prize for my upcoming giveaway (just 3 more followers left!) and some bits for myself.



revlon lipstick in wild orchid and cherries in the snow. Wild orchid is a fuschia with a blueish pearl and slight shimmery finish. Cherries in the snow is a brilliant very pinky blue based red. This was one of the first lipsticks i had (stolen from my Mum at around age 12) and i just fancied getting it again because i like it and don't have anything that similar.

Sleek Wonderlast lip colour. This looks more bubblegum-ish in the photo than it is really. In real life it is one of the brightest, best neons i've ever seen. It's also ever so slightly shimmery, which is great as most neons are matte and one of those super long-lasting liquid lipsticks (I've never seen one this colour before!). I can't wait to try it out on my lips.

Collection 2000 Glam Crystals eyeliner in Dancing queen (the pink) and Pow! (the blue). These are, i think, the best glitter eyeliners i've tried. They're so full of glitter that one swipe is probably enough! And some of the colours (including the 2 i got) have holographic glitter in them, which i've never seen before!

Also i meant to pick up Revlons Matte Real Red (or whatever it is actually called) but somehad had put the wrong lipstick in the place, so i got 'Love that Red'. Of course i didn't check until i had got it home, opened it and swatched it, so i can't take it back. It's very nice, but just not what i wanted, and because i'm poor i can't really afford to keep it.
So if anyone wants it it's yours for £5.50 (including postage in the UK, £7 for international). It's only been swatched once (though if anyone wants to see it i'll swatch it once more :) and retails for £7.45. Here it is:



I am now incredibly poor :( I'm praying i get paid very soon!

If anyone wants to see a swatch of anything i've posted just ask, though i'm sure i'll be posting some FOTD's featuring these products really soon! :D

Oh and i apologise for the awful state of my carpet! On monday we're having some building work done, so we just keep going 'no point in hoovering until afterwards'. So it is foul!
