Max Factor Colour Elixir Lipstick








 

£7.99 from Boots and Superdrug
Okay, so I was a little bit naughty earlier today and popped into Boots. I have been looking for a new red lipstick for some time now and, I won’t lie, the adverts on the side of the Special K box swayed me towards this one! It has a really creamy formula  so it is very moisturising as well as being quite pigmented . The only negative is that it doesn’t have the longest staying power, which I actually don’t mind that much as it is not the sort of thing I would wear for the whole day just on special occasions or at night.
I would definitely recommend this lipstick if you like bright colours like I do, what’s your favourite lipstick shade? Are you a bright, nude or somewhere in between person?

The dress



Sorry for the bad lighting in these pictures but anyway, as mentioned a couple of days ago, I spotted a dress, and this is it! It’s from Topshop and was on sale at £15 plus I got my student discount as well so it was only £13.50! They also have it in black and an inky purple shade, I did think about the black but I am happy I went for this colour in the end as I think it will be a bit more wearable for everyday but I can still dress it up for the evenings. I am really happy with the fit and cut of the dress as well I think it would suit most body-shapes.

Today, I paired it with a slim brown belt from another dress and some leopard print flats from New Look a couple of years ago now, which are starting to show wear, and I should probably consider throwing them out! Then I just wore a short coat over the top because the in the UK seems to have reverted back to normal after that heat wave last week!

What are you wearing today?I hope your week is going well so far : )
