For the longest of time, no exaggeration here I promise you! I have wanted to get my little beauty mitts on some Lime Crime lip products and guys that moment has finally happened. From the minute I saw my favourite beauty gurus wearing lip products that came wrapped up in gorgeous packaging I was obsessed; I just knew they were going to be something that I loved whenever I got the actual chance to try them out.

Now if I had an endless amount of spending money then I probably would have bought everything there and then on the Lime Crime website. Unfortunately thats the kind of things dreams are made of and I had to limit myself to just two things when placing my order, I really can't afford to go wild now, especially with baby sparkle on its way. As matte lipsticks have to be my favourite kind of finish  I decided to pick up two of the Lime Crime Valentines in the shades Faded and Wicked. Faded is one of these really pretty nude shades, but it has a slight hint of purple running through it which makes it really different to any other nude shade I own. Wicked on the other hand is one of my favourite lipstick shades, it's a deep vampy red, making it perfect for this time of year. Both shades look amazing on.

First of all let me start with packaging. OMG these are just gorgeous, I really love the design of these liquid lipsticks; From the frosted clear tube to the metallic red lids with its pretty pink roses scattered across it, they're just super cute and really girly. It's the kind of packaging that make you feel really special applying these in public, if you know what I mean.

As for the actual product, again I'm in love. Like I said, I love lipsticks that have a matte finish so the Velvetines are right up my street. When I first apply them they actually feel really wet and glossy but within a matter of seconds the product dries out and turns into this gorgeous velvet matte finish which literally lasts all day; There're even food and drink proof which is perfect. The actual formula very much reminds me of the Boujois Rouge Edition Velvets (review here) so if you're a fan of those lipsticks then you'll love these too.

Now that these two Velvetines have become my go too lipsticks I really want to add some more to my collection. I was so tempted to pick up the shade Cashmere, which everyone seems to rave about but was worried it wouldn't suit me with its grey tones to it. But I've decided this has to be my next Lime Crime purchase.

Have you bought anything from Lime Crime? Let me know what I should add to my basket next time I go shopping on the Lime Crime website.

Lots of Love

This Girls Gotta Have Em || Beauty Wishlist



Hi ladies, it feels like forever since I've done a beauty wishlist here on my blog and there are so many products that are being added to it weekly, I swear its getting a little out of hand! Anyone else with me there? I thought I'd show you ladies the top six items on my list that I am just wanting to get my little beauty mitts on. 

Stilla In the Light Pallette

This eye shadow palette from Stilla seams to have been a beauty blogger favourite for some time now and I'm forever seeing it being talked up about which makes me eager to try it out and have it in my collection. This palette has such a lovely bunch of shades to choose from including what has to be one of Stilla's most loved shaddows 'Kitten'. I just think that you could create so many lovely looks with this palette which makes my lust for it even stronger. 

Lime Crime Lipstick - Geradium 

I have been wanting to get my hands on a Lime Crime lippie for ages. There looks as though there are so many gorgeous and pretty shades to choose from but 'Geradium' is the one that really stands out for me, its a beautiful bright coral pink shade, which is a typical Dannie shade when it comes to lipstick. I've looked at so many swatches of this lipstick and OhWoWeee guys it just looks incredible - I need it in my life! Not only does the lipstick look amazing, but how cute is the packaging of Lime Crime lipsticks with it's silvery holographic unicorn printed on it. 

OCC Lip Tar

Another lip product which I have been dying to try out for ages is the OCC Lip Tars, something a little different to your usual box standard lipstick. The Lip Tars look as though they pack a punch as I've been told that they are incredibly pigmented and a little goes a long way. Not only do they look and sound like fabulous lip products there are so so many shades to choose from. If I had to pick one to add to my lipstick collection though, 'True Pink Flamingo' really stands out for me. When it comes to lipsticks I am such a fan of pretty pink shades that have light nude tones to them and this shade looks like it will be just that. 

NYX Xtreme Lip Cream - Nude Peach Fizz

As a beauty blogger I am a little shocked with myself that I haven't gotten around to placing a NYX order and try out some of their most hyped about products. I've always heard a lot of great things about their Xtreme Lip Creams and for the longest of time I have been lusting after the shade Nude Peach Fizz. Like I mentioned when it comes to choosing lip colours I am a very pink girl at heart, but there comes a time when you need a go too nude shade and this one looks perfect. I've looked at so many swatches of this lip product and it looks like a beaut! I love how the nude has a more pinky/peach tone to it and I think it's a shade that will work perfectly with my skin tone.

Bumble & Bumble Surf Shampoo & Conditioner

What is it about Bumble & Bumble products that look so appeasing? For the longest of time I find myself being drawn to this hair care brand but have failed to make a purchase from them. I absolutely love the sound of their Surf shampoo and conditioner as I am a huge fan of messy hair and love the 'I've been on the beach all day' kind of look. This duo is supposed to help enhance natural waves and give your hair plenty of body and texture for that perfect surfer girl beach look. I know sea salt sprays do an amazing job of doing this, but sometimes I feel as though my hair just needs that little bit more and these products sound perfect for the job.

Enrapture Encode Totem Styler 

I don't use heat on my hair very often, but when I do I am a big fan of putting it in curls. I have been eyeing up this totem styler from Enrapture for the longest time as it just looks fabulous for creating all sorts of diffident curls in your hair. I love loose boho curls and this looks it will create beautiful ones!

So that's my top six picks ladies, I would love to know whats made it on to your wishlist and if you've tried and tested any of the products shown in this post.

Lots of Love
