Review + swatch: Max factor Vivid Impact Lipstick in Skinny Dip Best nude for olive skin? yes

 Heyyy guys <3

  i know its been a while. but i didn't think just showing a swatch and a lipstick was substantial enough for a post.
I've actually been contemplating deleting my blog as i feel like my posts aren't good enough hhaa.
anyway, I'm here and onto the product.
I brought Max factor Vivid Impact lipstick in Skinny Dip (I believe vivid impact has been discontinued now :( )
i searched thousands of blogs in my time in order to see what nudey colour will suit a olive complexion
I wasn't going to go for Gosh darling, that's a corpse colour, i wasn't going to go for a mac. because im anti mac cosmetics (listen ladies you can get the same quality product for less money, your just buying a status label) & I wasnt going to go for rimmel's nude, and revlon's nude.
so it left me with hardly any choices.
In retrospect is a nude supposed to look pale? or is it supposed to look like your natural lip colour?
im still having that debate with myself. but have found that nudes that look close to my lip colour with tints of pink or peach look really nice on me
I also love L'oreal colour Juice stick in Personali-tea which is gorgeous, but more mocha nude. so brightening up max factor vivid impact in skinny dip was perfect to me.
after buying it, i swatched it on my hand and it came out a really nice light pink nude.
and on my lips i think it looks even better.

Heres the pics.

The Lipstick :)

And here is what it looks like on the lips

my greasy face, and messy room sorry :) still the the lipstick is gorgeous

As you can tell by my smile on the photo i really liked this lipstick, actually its borderline one of my faves forever now as long as i can still get it somehow. and ive only had it a week!!

Good points:

Really Lovely Colour, 

i enjoyed applying as it wasn't making my lip cracks look any worse than they were already

The formula is pretty creamy and not too thick.

quite a bit of product for your money.

Good company ethics

Really nice to wear as a pink nude, will suit almost all people!

Stays for pretty long if you layer it and butt it out on a tissue.

creamy & moist.

no frost or sparkle. and no gritty texture

Cheap-ish?

Great pigmentation

you'll love it :)

Neutral Points:

Can run out of it quick if your an avid lipstick user

Ordinary Lipstick Scent

Bad Points:

will need touchups during the day if you want your lipstick to stay punchy

a subtle colour not bright if your into brights

You will become depressed if you can never find the product again (because its discontinued)

PS. (my tip is to buy from ebay, they will almost always have it listed as sellers want to rid their stock)

My Overall Reaction to this product is

It's a fantastic gorgeous shade that suits almost anybody, it is lovely and soft on the lips and doesn't exaggerate lines or cracks. its universal and usually found cheap for all of us to indulge in

although you may run out fast due to being so in love with it, you will be able to find at least some online. it is not as nude as a expected, more of a milky pink, kind of like a pinker tone of peach apricot honey lipgloss by melliesh.

as you can see below

and im giving this my first 5 star rating, im in love with it, i think everyone deserves to try it!

have you tried vivid impact lipsticks before? this is my first one so how do you feel about one that you have tried?

Same Lipstick, Different Packaging Same obsession! No7 Lipstick + swatch, KANYE WEST SPEAKS! + RANT

(: Long time no see, jk lol

my second post today i hope you all arent too mad with me, but i had too much to say!

I'm basically going to be reviewing 

NO7 Moisture Drench Lipstick 

In Shade -20 Starshell with SPF 15.

I'm going to start to review this with a boots description

"

No7 Moisture Drench Lipstick now has a new and improved formula that nourishes your lips, making it our most moisturising lipstick. It keeps them smooth, soft and full with colour.

• Hypo-allergenic
• Fragrance free
• SPF 15 "

i think my favourite lipstick deserves a little novel, please bare with me + read on <3

How my Obsession Started

I brought one of these last year spring time for a neutral type colour that will suit my olive skin.

it arrived days later in the post and i tore that packaging like nobodies business sat down and swatched the colour on the back of my hand, didnt amaze me, but it looked nice.

I then smothered it on my lips and noticed how dry my lips were before

so it took a day or two before i decided to scrub my lips with a toothbrush and homemade scrub (will show u how to make one in the future on my blog) and then took to the mirror with lipstick in hand to apply onto my newly babysoft but sore looking lips, i again smothered it on and noticed the colour was a lot different than the day before, it was more nude. but maybe it was just because my lips were awful looking the days before.

from then on i started using it practically every other day of the week and a lot on the weekends.

i got the lipstick very cheap from a wholesaler that buys from boots.

so i decided i'm going to get more, so i got another.

i still have the first lipstick and its not even empty yet so it shows you just how long these last.

i then brought another that i proceeded to give to my mum who also loved the lipstick who nearly stole another of these from me. so i decided to buy her another colour for her bd so i could coax her onto it so she didnt steal mine. (although i brought her one lol strange woman).

i got her shade 'chic' but i could be completely wrong as it was a while ago.

she wears that shade all the time, its almost as if no7 has taken over her life.

so recently i found the lipstick again because it had hidden itself from me 

(probably cause it knew i was gonna use it all)

and then decided i needed a new lot because i hate using half gone lipsticks on ones i love

brought it again from another cheap wholesaler.

and when it arrived i noticed the packaging was different.

checked on the website and indeed they changed their formula which seemed why the packaging also changed.

PS CAN I JUST SAY, NEVER BUY FROM BOOTS WEBSITE IF LOOKING AT THEIR SHADE CHART, IT IS STUPID AND NONE OF THE COLOURS LOOK LIKE ONES YOU WILL RECIEVE. JUST A WARNING I DONT WANT ANYBODY TO BUY AND GET A PINK LIPSTICK WHEN THEY ORDERED A BROWN. (whoever did the colour chart is a massive retard)

Here's a picture of the lipstick on my lips, it looks more pink here but i can assure you its more nudey peach. you'll love it

between the two on the lips they both feel and look the same.

so let's get down to business with the pros and cons

Pros:

the shade is almost a MLBB shade.

i would say it was almost a nude but a peachy one.

its a shade that would look gorgeous on all skin tones!

has no scent or smell to it thank heavens :)

Can be cheap if brought elsewhere

one of the best lipsticks you'll have in your collection

very moisturising soft & gorgeous.

SPF 15 is better than none at all

Luxurous lipstick that lasts a long time.

CONS:

PRICE if brought from boots directly it will set you back £10.00 while this isnt breaking the bank its too much for my tiny brain to conjile therefore i leave a lot of expensive brands away unless they are immediately affecting me i.e facial cream,wash & foriegn brands. 

have some ££ at the ready if you use lipstick up fast!

COLOUR CHART ON BOOTS.COM IS ABSOLUTELY ATTROCIOUS KILL IT WITH FIRE    

  you will need to find swatches and reviews on peoples blogs to find out the real colours & shiz

its easy to make mistakes with a moist lipstick especially if you get a deep colour.

i love this lipstick and will time and time again purchase it before i find a better one.

I also love Loreal colour juice lipstick in PERSONALI TEA. but its discontinued and im having to find weird measures in securing these babies. so i cant say its my all time favourite like no7 has been.

you should def try it out! especially if you can find it cheaper elsewhere.

5 hearts

Perfect & goes with anything.

Just questions for you <3

have you tried any no7 products? if so what ones? do you find boots website reliable? cause i dont -.-

Also a little rant.

Today i got slightly annoyed with my hair colour, im trying to fight my natural tone of red in my hair (No im not a redhead at all, ive just got naturally warmer hair so by counteracting it with ash it eventually comes back) its super annoying and i really want to dye my hair dark again but the last time i done that was ages ago and my hair went horribly dry and stuff ewww.

so anyway what really irked me is the fact while searching for hair colours that would suit olive and tanned skin

. i came across very punchy individuals that decided.

NO YOU CANNOT HAVE ANY COLOUR HAIR THAN DARK BROWN & BLACK.

Cause your mediteranian or olive, or tanned.

wtf? its almost like its racism but about hair colour, i dont get it.

Nobody would have the audacity to meet lady gaga, beyonce, jennifer lopez, & gwen steffani and tell them all to change their wigs? so why do people think they have the right to tell you what you can and cant have as a colour on your hair.

im very boring with my hair colour, and have been roughly between 4 shades for the last 3 years and i think its time i do something new.

you can tell someone you think a colour would look better on them than another ofc thats honesty

but telling someone NO YOU CANT CAUSE YOU ARE OLIVE IS PURE RUDE

my moral of the story is

You can have whatever hair colour you want to have, if its for fashion or you think it brings out your features.

stop looking for other peoples opinions like i did. i really think it sucks people behave in that way.

& EXPRESSING yourself is one thing that is always suppressed. and i think this world would become a better place to live in if we all did our own thing.

hope you have enjoyed this post.

i'll be back in no time with another review ladies. follow, favourite or keep checking back
