Blac Chyna Lashes Liquid Lipstick | First Impressions

Good evening!

Today I come to you with a very exciting first impressions post on a beauty product I have been dying to try for such a long time.

If you haven't heard of Blac Chyna, she is a beautiful model who is currently engaged to the well known Rob Kardashian and is expecting her second child with him, and not to mention she is one of Kim Kardashians BFF's ;-)

Chyna started her own eyelash line a few years back called 'Lashed' and only recently did she decide to widen her brand and create a collection of liquid lipsticks. Her liquid lipsticks caught my eye immediately however as she is in the U.S I have struggled to get my hands on one myself.
I reached to one of my favourite apps 'DEPOP', its pretty much like eBay but much easier to use and less time wasters. You don't have to bid on items either, its simple, if you like what you see, you can buy instantly using PayPal.
I found a lady who was selling her Lashed Liquid Lipstick and I was cheeky enough to ask her if she would go any lower on the price and sure enough she let me have it for just £9 including P&P, I was thrilled as she lived in the UK and could post to my UK address.
And yes, makeup on Depop can be 'used', however that's something that doesn't bother me, as long as the products are in good condition, I don't mind. You can get high end makeup on Depop for such low prices! I highly recommend this app as I have bought some bargains on their in the past that I wouldn't be able to afford if I was to pay full retail price.

Anyway, enough of me rambling on, lets get to the good part.. my first impressions!
First of all I will show you the finishing look, I got the shade 'Mink Pink' and it reminded me of the Jeffree Star Velour Liquid Lipstick in 'Doll Parts' which I also own.
Chyna's liquid lipsticks however are not a matte finish, but leave a stunning, sexy, gloss finish, whilst still being highly pigmented.



How gorgeous does that look! This shade would suit any skin tone and I reckon anyone could pull this colour off!

You get so much product for your money as the size of the packaging is double the size of a normal liquid lipstick, for example, if you compare it to the LA Splash liquid lipstick packaging you will see a big difference.

The applicator is a decent size and is easy to use and makes the application glide on smoothly without any smudging.
As I normally find with glossy lip colours whether a lip gloss or lipstick, they can be quite a sticky texture, however this liquid lipstick is light weight when on your lips and does not feel sticky whatsoever.

The only thing I feel she could do with improving on is the fact her liquid lipsticks do NOT come in a box/packaging, which to me is a bit odd, however I did buy mine second hand so the packaging wasn't a problem for me, however if I was to purchase another one brand new I would expect it to be nicely packaged as I feel these liquid lipsticks could look even more appealing in eye catching packaging.

Altogether I love this product and would consider trying more, especially as I've heard she is bringing out a matte collection soon, whether that's true or not is another story (a girl can dream).
I just wish these were sold in the UK to so it would be easier for us Brit's to get our hands on them.

Cheeky Lip & Cheek Tint | Review

Good afternoon. I know its been a while since I last blogged but im back with a review from a company I now love. This company is called 'Cheeky', and they sell freshly scented products across body care, hair care and cosmetics, they also have a NEW parlour open in Shoreditch, East London.
 
I was lucky enough to win one of there competitions over on my personal Twitter account and they sent me a cosmetic bag full of goodies, so thank you Team Cheeky.
 
I have only tried a few products so far, but there's two products which I am loving...
I am a huge lipstick lover and when I discovered that Team Cheeky had put, not one, but two lip and cheek tints in my cosmetics bag, my eyes lit up. I have never tried a lip and cheek tint before but have always wanted to. After trying these two products, I will defiantly be on the look out for more in the future.
 
 
 
 
I tried the shades 'Fire Starter' and 'Posey Rosey' out, and before even testing them on my lips or cheeks, I immediately noticed how bright both colours were and knew that they must be super pigmented.
 
I struggle to find a suitable shade of pink when choosing a lip product, as I have very pale skin and sometimes pinks can make me look to 'in your face' or like I've applied foundation to my lips (if I were to go for a nude pink). This particular shade of pink worked really well for my skin tone, however, I haven't tried it on my cheeks yet but im sure it will suit my complexion great.
The red lip and cheek tint also worked very well with my skin tone, both on my lips and cheeks, however I did find it quite hard to blend in the cheek tint but im sure it will just take some getting use of, to figure that out.
 
Here are the results of both products when applied to my lips..
 
 
This shade of pink works perfect with my skin tone, giving my lips a pop of colour and not making me look like a clown at the same time. The awesome thing about these lip and cheek tints are that you can have the colour as natural or as bright as you want by applying less for a hint of colour or more for a vibrant colour. This shade will be amazing in summer, therefore I will try my hardest not to use it all up before then (which could be a struggle, *wink face*).

 
I was very impressed with this shade, I wouldn't have thought that a crème lip tint would add much colour to my lips, maybe a little gloss, but not very bright, but boy was I wrong. This shade applies just as bright as a normal lipstick and has a super soft texture when using my fingers to apply the product to my lips or cheeks.
In this picture I am wearing Fire Starter as a cheek tint as well, and as you can see, this shade does wonders for my pale skin. I can never wear to much bronzer, if any at all, due to me being so pale, that the bronzer just looks to orange; therefore this product will be great in summer as well as winter to add a hint of colour to my face, which is very much needed.
 
Altogether I love these lip and cheek tints, they sell for £10 each which is a bargain as they should last you a long time, and the case comes with a mirror attached so you can carry these with you in your handbag for on the go. I really would recommend the lip and cheek tints to anyone who is mega pale like myself (I am wearing foundation in the pictures, but without makeup im a lot more paler). There a great way to look glamorous without looking to over the top, and the packaging is so cute.
