Lip Make-up > Lip Liner Lip Make-up

Advantages: Gorgeous neutral pinky tones, will suit most complexions
Disadvantages: PRICE!!!

...glossy mags each month about Stila Cosmetics I decided to treat myself to a couple of new products whilst in Space NK (beauty store) in Brighton (I'm a makeup shopping junkie!!) Space NK seems to be one of those shops where 'it girls' shop, as the price lists aren't readily to hand and you feel slightly embarassed asking the price of each and every product you lay eye on. So amongst the purchased I made that day I bought the Stila Pocket Palette ...
...that I really only use one of the colours most of the time, and in reality I'd much prefer one of those twisty tube applicators with just one colour in. From what I know stila products are found at all SpaceNK shops and are readily available on the internet. ... Read review

Advantages: Fantastic pencil that leaves many others behind
Disadvantages: Difficult to get hold of realistically outside London

...problem with this is that Bobbi Brown is difficult to get hold of: it is available in some of the major department stores in London: Harrods, Selfridges and I think Dickens and Jones are stocking Bobbi Brown too, but it is also available in other stores throughout the country too: they just have to be found! The web-site is helpful, and some products can be bought directly from this. It is packaged simply and is designed basically: it is mainly black ...
...colours suitable for all, and Bobbi Brown is one of the only ranges available at the moment that caters very well for coloured skin with this type of product. If you are able to get to it, then I would certainly recommend it though. If you travel to America then it is very easy to find: it is very popular in the States. ... Read review

Advantages: Great
Disadvantages: Not so good

This is one truly amazing pencil. I wrote a 10,000 word essay using this pencil not realising you were meant to use it on your lips! Teacher said my writing could have been better but i was really impressed. Great value for money and I'd recomend to anybody! A true pencil this one! I you ever need need to write an essay and you have no stationary to hand this works fine. In the past I have also used other non-stationary objects but this has to be ... Read review

Advantages: Shiny shimmery colour, tastes and smells great!
Disadvantages: Very rare since Pout went bust!

Pout were a UK company who dealt in high end makeup with cute packaging and fun names. Note the past tense - they went bust! Their products are still floating around online though, a lot of which you can get a great deal for, and they are worth snagging before stocks run out. I got my lipslick in a set from TK Maxx which had a lipslick, eyeshadow and eyeliner for £10. You can find Pout on most of the discount cosmetics sites online, the best price ...
...were very few in stock, Pout fast becoming extinct and all. There are other sites which have them, and eBay is always a good port of call for their products. This cute glosses come in a variety of shades (remember though not all are still around), with names such as Sexy Girl, Shy Girl, Spoilt Girl, etc. They range from light pink (Cute Girl), to brownish (Devious Girl) to bright red (Posh Girl). The clear tube contains 4ml, and is roughly three ... Read review

Advantages: Quality and natural ingredients, feels and smells great
Disadvantages: Not widely available, pricey but worth it

...last review, I found a Badger Balm I had forgotten about really, so I've decided that will be my next review. I picked this balm up about a year ago in Boots because it was placed by the checkout with all kinds of other goodies that you don't need, but want. I will admit to being a bit of a lip balm junkie, so I popped it in my basket and used only that for a few weeks, before it was relegated to the drawer with all the other fallen soldiers and ...
...A little background on Badger - they are a company from New Hampshire who create a whole host of lip and body balms, sunscreens, soaps, baby products and aromatherapy items, all made from 100% natural and quality ingredients. Over here, they are quite rare; although they can be found online and the balms are in Boots, I have never seen any of their other products anywhere. Then again, I haven't really looked all that hard either. I have heard great ... Read review
