Violet summer mega matte lipstick by Seventeen

-
Have you ever felt like you just want to break away from the norm and just be different for once?

To be fair I get this feeling quite often with fashion but with beauty I am little more "safe".

When it comes to lipsticks I have 3 choices of colour
1. Nude (is that even a colour??)
2. Red ( mainly for winter evenings out)
3. Pink (mainly for summer nights out)

Well I had a night out in Essex on Saturday and I had chosen my outfit - black on black... Which I knew had to be lifted with either statement shoes OR statement lips!

I opted for STATEMENT LIPS!

I went shopping during th day, I needed to pick up some bits from Boots and got side tracked at the Seventeen counter.


One of my fave makeup ranges - great products - love their foundation... Like Love Love it. Can't get enough of their shimmer brick and now their matte lipsticks!

This one is called - Violet summer

When I did a swatch on my hand, the colour was so powerful, so vibrant, so out there ... It was going to be so me.


 I just love the colour.

It is matte but has a slight sheen... You need to apply a couple of times to get the vibrant purple /pink colour and try not to rub your lips together too much.

I think for a night out it Defo makes a statement and I felt a million dollars wearing it.

It really brightens up your face.

This lipstick is new, it's great value for money and is the prettiest colour.



It's the first one I have bought in this range and I am quite excited to go back and look at the other colours they have!

This lipstick would also look stunning as festival lippie and summer is just around the corner!!

Are you a Mamia Mum?

Have you tried the Mamia range from Aldi? I have to admit I love an Aldi shop and have previously bought quite a few items from their Special Buys... who doesn't love the middle aisles of magical items?! Once Aria arrived they were my first choice for nappies for her as they are voted one of the best brands for newborns and not to mention great value! So when they got in touch and asked me to review their Mamia range I was more than excited! Yes a trip to Aldi without making excuses to my husband. I was given £30 and I was shocked with how much I could buy! (pictured above was just half of it) Being a new mum brings all kinds of stresses and you start realising quite quickly that you want the best for your baby but you also need to shop a lot smarter. The Mamia range offers the core essentials you need for your baby, so I was keen to put it to the test. Nappies and Nappy sacks   Whilst I had previously used these, I had recently swapped to another supermarket br...

Every so often I love to share what I have found useful. Why? Because being a mum its hard to know what you need, what you don't need and how much money it all is! So heres a little insight to what I am loving and I feel has been money well spent: Matchstick Monkey: Have you heard of Matchstick monkey? All I can say is move over Sophie the giraffe there is a new animal in town and I love it.. and as you can see so does Aria! I purchased this when Aria was 4 months old and I haven't looked back. It comes in all kinds of colours, its easy for baby to hold and chew/ suck on AND has a bumpy texture behind the monkeys head to help babies with the texture of brushing their teeth. She takes it most places and its easier to sterilise. For me this teething toy is a game changer and I recommend it to everyone with babies!     The IKEA highchair: Highchairs can be bulky/ expensive and hard to choose. I was so put off by the whole process until my...

Mom Life - The Style Bubble baby products i am loving!

I have had a few of my followers suggest I blog more about Mum life and so I've decided to do a round up of my products I am absolutely loving so far! Being a mum to be or a new mum its sooo easy to fall in the trap of buying every single product on the market because you are led into believing you need it all, truth is you don't. So I have decided to help you cut out the crap and purchase the things you do need and not what you are being told to buy! The Snuzpod:  Originally I wanted to be classic and purchase a Moses basket. Its traditional, pretty and my sister had one and my mum had them when we were babies so I wanted to follow their footsteps. My husband suggested otherwise and to be honest I am thankful he did. The Snuzpod is pricey but pricey with perks. It has a mesh side panel, so when you are in bed you can watch baby, quite comforting in the early days as all you want to do is stare at them. If you want you can also remove the side so you connect ...
