Lovely Lip Sealer Review

Good Morning all!

So I should have posted this last night, but I had a busy night -  by a busy night I mean I got distracted catching up on TV and it took me around 4000 hours to actually finish this post! This week I intended to show you my three go to lips, but then I stumbled up a new product - Lipcote. This product promises to make your lips ' smudge, feather and kiss proof' so lets give it a little go!



Picture quality doesn't get much better today...



I thought the best way to test this product would be to use it with my favourite everyday lip (MUA berry wine pencil paired with Natural Collection fig leaf), my most smudge-able impractical lipstick (Rimmel moisture renew 330 slobbed plum Lipstick)  and finally with the MUA lacquers ( in halcyon and funk) which keep going all bitty on my lips when I wear then for longer than three minutes!!!


I really wasn't lying about the quality


Soooooo the product advises for best results to foundation your lips, blot with a tissue, line your lips and blot again then apply your lipstick, blot, lipstick again, blot AGAIN and then apply the Lipcote - its not the shortest of processes.

This stuff is little on the smelly, tingly side, so be prepared and it take FOREVER to properly dry. It's dry to touch fairly quickly but if you don't leave it long enough and the rub them or deliberately smudge your lips to test the product, it kinda forms this weird glue like substance, like you get when you rub wet Prittstick?

When you are a little less impatient, this product does work to an extend. It does increase the longevity (oooooohhh big word) of the lipstick, it lasts and doesn't fade half as quick, which is great with my everyday lip look I have! So when it comes to that I was extremely impressed!! Also it may have made my Rimmel Lipstick more wearable - this lipstick is impossible to deal with on a day to day basis, well I find it to be anyway. It always feathers or bleeds, and kiss proof it is not!!! Howeverrrr I can honestly say this makes it a solid 70% better.

Sadly Lipcote doesn't help with my lip lacquer, so the search goes on - PS if anyone knows a way to stop this happening let me know but it breaks my heart that I cant wear these beeauutifulll colours!


Over all id give this little handy product a 6/10, and at only £3.95 at Superdrug at the moment, id suggest giving it a go!



Did you expect a serious picture? Tough!


Next week with hopefully be a make up look... but well see!


See ya soooonnnn!

Ghost of makeup past!

Hello again!

Posting two weeks running... I'm as shocked as you! Last week if you've read my post - if you haven't, what are you doing!?! go read it gosh #pushyJoking, anyway in my last post I expressed my disgust with my eyebrows which lead to a good rifle through old pictures and it got me thinking how much I have learnt since the younger years, and what I wish I could go back and tell myself! So here is ..


Six Things I wish Young Lynds knew about makeup!

Eyebrow SOS!

Oh hey, didn't see you there, seen as I abandoned my blog for 1000000 years!!!!
 
So, its been a while - I could make up a zillion excuses to explain my sudden disappearance, but to be frank with you, my dog ate my laptop..... just kidding.. but seriously it did break, and then my attention got distracted by sexy amazing things like working -_-  and my blog drifted to the far back of my, often empty and vacant, mind. BUTTTTTTTT I'm back to my cosy - yet tiny - corner of the internet.
 
Now I know I've not been around for a while, but I need help!!
 
Anyone who previously read my posts would know I have a little bit of a thing with my eyebrows, when I say a thing I mean - ARRGHHH WHY ARE YOU SHAPED THE WAY  YOU ARE AND SO THIN AND WEIRDLY COLOURED AHHH. Pleaseee just be normal brows :'( :'( WHYYYY are you C shaped, that's not even a brow shape, I'm not the alphabet!!!! Stupid F*&%* brows!!!!! - but its just a little thing.....
