Matte Liquid Lipsticks | Brand Comparisons

Matte Liquid Lipsticks were huge in 2015. It feels as though every brand you could think of brought some out. Huge brands such as; Colourpop, ABH, Jeffree Star and Stila to name a through, have released their individual matte liquid lipsticks.



For the last couple of months, I have been collecting a bunch of different brands of matte liquid lipsticks to try and review for you! These are just a few, however; I know this is going to be a long post. Hope you enjoy! PS: I don't like to wear face makeup when doing lip swatches, as I find it difficult to remove-sorry for the ugly!

Welcome 2016

Hey guys and welcome to 2016!

I feel as though the last went crazy fast, however; I felt that the year before too.

I am excited for this year and thought I’d talk about what I’m hoping to achieve this year. Here are some of my goals:


·         Spread more positivity. I want to truly show appreciation to my friends and family who support and love me.

·         Save more money, spending heaps on clothes that don’t even fit isn’t worth it.

·         Blog more regularly, my blog sort of took a backseat last year due to Uni and work however; I want to post a lot more this year.

I kept it so short this year, as last year I set too many unrealistic goals.


I hope that 2016 is beautiful for you all.
