MAC Candy yum yum 

A pretty simple look from me today, I have really been loving a good old bold lip of late so I thought I would showcase a fairly new addition to my ever expanding lip product collection - Candy Yum Yum.

Candy Yum Yum, as the name suggests, is a matte, blue toned, bold candy pink, just the right amount of bold without verging into unwearable territory. 

 I think this colour is perfect for the summer months, it's the sort of shade you can slap on with everyday boring makeup and instantly makes you look like you've put in loads of effort - anything that saves me time getting ready is a winner in my book!

I would highly recommend this lipstick to any lip product junkie like myself, but if £15.50(?!?)  for a lipstick is out of the question then I really think you should take a look at the Bourjois rouge edition velvet lipstick in 'pink pong', not quite an exact colour match but the finish is almost identical (Bourjois applies as a liquid, drys matte) and for £8.99 they are practically a steal (sort of).

Pros:

Highly pigmented

Long wearing

Vivid colour

Cons:

Slightly drying on lips 

Can settle into cracks and sticks to dry patches 

Have you tried this lipstick? 

Urban decay naked 3 palette

Unless you have been living under a rock for the past 6 months you've probably heard about the new Urban Decay Naked 3 palette and all it's shadowy goodness.
I was really in two minds about getting this palette when I first saw it released,  I already own the Naked 1 and use it so much I didn't see the need for another one in my life. That all quickly changed after seeing countless pictures and swatches of the beautiful pinky neutrals this palette has to offer that looked perfect for creating some gorgeous looks, I knew I had to have it!
It's taken me almost 6 months to get my hands on it  but yesterday I spotted the Urban Decay counter in Debenhams I decided to go for it. To my surprise when I got up to the till mentally prepared to be parting with £37.00 the cashier informed me that it was actually reduced by £10 to £27.00! That is £2.25 per eye shadow and the palette came with a free double ended crease and shadow brush and a sample pack of  of Urban Decays best selling primer potions; Eden, Sin, Anti- Aging and the original!
I'm not too sure why I got the discount as there was no mention of it on the product although there was the offer of 10% off when you buy any two beauty products or fragrance from Debenhams so perhaps it had something to do with that? I don't know, either way I am not complaining!
I'm so happy I decided to pick this up when I did and I can already tell I'm going to get a lot of wear out of it!
If you are thinking about getting this palette then definitely get down to Debenhams now to grab yourself a bargain (they're also running the sale online).
