The Lipgloss That Every Unicorn Lover Needs*

In the makeup world, there's a lot going on and a lot to keep up with. Luckily, once a product is "discovered" its set in stone, e.g. eye shadow is eye shadow it just comes in different formulas/colours. So lets talk about a beauty staple that I've really only rated for the past year or so.

Lip gloss... You either love it or you hate it. Now if I can get a decent formula, I love lip gloss. As long as it's not toooo sticky. When I was younger, I hated lip gloss... I hated how it felt, how it looked, everything. I've always been a big matte lip lover so to discover lip gloss again was quite a big deal for me. But really, I've found that rather then just plastering your lips in lip gloss, popping a bit on top of a lip look can be a beautiful finale to any makeup look! With Valentines day around the corner, the lip gloss you're about to read about is perfectly pink for the occasion and your lips are going to be smelling good enough to eat all day/night.

>Available here!<

The guys at Instant Beauty Fix have given birth to a beautifully clever titled lip gloss. Unicorn Snot... Seriously, thinking about it now, I don't understand how no one ever thought of this one before. Come on, has there ever been such an appropriate name for a product? 

Seriously, this is every pink lovers dream. The colour itself is a great fuchsia pink and its filled with beautifully bright glitter - reflective pinks, purples, silvers. It's so pretty and easy on the eye. Next up can we talk about the scent. This bad boy is candyfloss scented. That's right, it's described as candyfloss scented and is actually candyfloss scented. Often scented lip gloss' fail to smell like their description and leave you with a boring plastic-y smell but not this one. This stuff is good enough to eat. I encouraged my brother to smell it and it was a struggle to get it back...

I love this lip gloss, it's going to be the beautiful hint of sparkle that I need this Valentines day and I'm hoping my other half will be able to smell its sweet scent across the table all evening. Unfortunately there was 1 thing about this product that let me down, and that has to be the packaging! It just reminds me of the lip gloss' I'd use when I was 13, a cheap tube to put in my back pocket so I could apply 7 coats of it on the bus. However, I suppose with this transparent tube at least you can see how beautiful it really is and the product is pretty eye catching. If I walked past this in a store, it would catch my eye! 

Unicorn Snot comes in 5 pretty colours (maybe they all have different scents as well?) - Pink, Green, Gold, Purple and Silver. They're all super pretty but my inner girly girl can't get enough of this pretty pink one! Why not add a little sparkle to your Valentines day this year and treat yourself to a tube of Unicorn Snot? (I never thought I'd ever say that!) - you'll be the glittery-est Belle at the ball!

The lipsticks I've been loving over the last few weeks | review

Hello, beautiful! I hope you're well! I apologise for my absence but again, I am back! I seem to keep getting into this continuous cycle of being on the ball and then losing my mojo. I am hoping as this post graces your screens I am back for good!

So, once again, lets talk lipstick. In a world made up of high end and drug store, the lipstick world is ever growing with new ranges, finishes and colours being released every other week. I'm not overly keen on trying "new" ranges! I like what I like. However, I am aware that you can't know what you like without putting yourself out there every now and then! So when I popped into boots a few weeks ago and the lippies started chanting my name, I gave in and picked 2 up. 

These are from the L'Oreal Paris Color Riche line, and for once they are 2 colours with a difference! If you've been reading Love, Libby for a short while now you may have noticed all of my lipsticks have quite a "boring" packaging. I am one of those people that won't buy a product if I don't like the packaging and it all needs to match. I love the rose gold bullets that are floating around but they aren't going to fit in well with all my other black ones. So obviously, these lipsticks were no exception to the rule!  Their sleek matte black bullets are detailed with gold font and a trim around the middle. It's simple, its easy but super pretty! Winning. L'Oreal products are always smart and easy on the eye. 

L'Oreal have released 3 "exclusive" collections within the color riche range - nudes, pinks & reds. So I picked up 1 pink and 1 nude. Obviously, I felt a serious sense of accomplishment that I'd pushed myself to pickup lipsticks from 2 different lines! I was queening all the way to the till.  I picked up J.Lo's Nude which is literally such a perfect colour and Helen's Delicate Rose which is quite a bit lighter in colour! 

J.Lo's Nude - I obviously had to pick this up, Jennifer Lopez is one of the hottest chikka's on the planet! this is the perfect nude, you can wear this morning noon and night. Oh, by the way, it look's lovely with a little bit of gloss over the top for a night out! Are you a gloss person? I kind of am, kind of not. I'm undecided! This colour is a lovely warm beige-ish pink with a mauve undertone that will suit any skin tone! Something I wasn't expecting, was how sheer the product is. I knew it wasn't matte, but there's sheer, then there's... The coverage is lovely for the first hour or so but does need re-applying quite reguarly! I personally don't mind this as it is such a pretty colour. It feels super moisturing and feels like butter, this won't dry your lips out at all but the formula could just do with being a bit thicker! The colour applies smoothly with an even finish meaning you won't ever have to worry about any patchyness if you're applying on the go. 

Helen's Delicate Rose - This is not a "me" colour at all, really, I don't know what compelled me to buy it. I like proper nudes and this is by far the lightest in colour lipstick that I own! The first few times I used this, I wasn't sold. Again, it is super sheer but also super iridescent! The pigmentation on this is there, but as its so light in colour it's not crazy! It's more of a lip pick me up more then a bold colour - it's really subtle and I think it'll suit almost anyone! It's not as bright and light as it looks in the bullet! If you're not brave enough to use this colour alone, you can always use it to lighten any regular lipstick you've got laying around! I actually mainly use it to create an ombre lip with the J.Lo's nude! Like above, this does need re-applying quite regularly so if your a swipe a day gal, you may hate this! The formula is really soft and creamy though, again, non drying.

L'Oreal seem to hit the nail on the head with whatever they release and these lipsticks are no exception! I am desperate to now accumulate that all over time so keep your eyes pealed for more posts like this!
