One Direction Lipstick Review


One Direction Make up then? What are we thinking about that?

I gave in! I was determined not to but I'm a huge lipstick fan and for £3 I couldn't resist buying a few!
I have the Harry, Niall and Liam lipsticks.  My favourite one or should I say the one I use the most is the Harry one as I'm in love with the colour. I really like the packaging as it's quite simple but so different from other lipsticks that are available, I love the bullet shape and the black and red blocks of colour. I think the packaging / casing of the lipstick is brilliant!

LIAM LIPSTICK

I've had this one quite a while and I bought it back in the summer months when they first came out. This colour was great for summer as it's a bright shimmery pink, it's a really bright pink but not quite a hot pink as the shimmer seems to tone it down a little bit.  I did use it quite a lot in summer when the clothes that I wore were very bright and very  colourful however  now as we are entering winter I haven't used it in what seems like forever because it doesn't really go anymore which is really annoying. So if you are thinking of buying the Liam lipstick then I would warn you that it's a seasonal lipstick and you wouldn't use it all year round. 


This is what it looks like and the colour as you can see here is quite bright and very girly.

Below is a swatch that I've done so you can see the colour on my skin and it does come out pretty much the same colour, it doesn't really dull down at all which is good. However I've only had the swatch on my hand about 10 minutes and the colour is already starting to wear off which is annoying with a lipstick as you want a long lasting lipstick so that you don't have to keep reapplying it constantly. But for £3 we can't really complain about having to reapply it regularly. 


NIALL LIPSTICK

Unfortunately I really do not like the Niall lipstick. It is a very creaming light pinky almost orangey colour with a lot of shimmer in it. I bought it in the hope that i would be able to use it with any outfit and it wouldn't be obvious I was wearing lipstick but it would give my lips that extra something about them and that extra colour however I really don't like how it comes out I do quite like the colour it is in the casing however when it's on I don't really like the colour as it's not pigmented a lot a looks odd.

HARRY LIPSTICK

I absolutely love the Harry Lipstick, I think that it's such a brilliant colour. I wear red lipstick a lot all through out the year. I know a lot of people prefer to use red lipsticks during the winter more than during the summer but because I have dark hair I can get away with a red lippy at anytime of the year. It's really hard to find a red lipstick that's not to dull but not to vampire style red. This lipstick is perfect it's bang in the middle of the red lipstick spectrum! ( can you tell I quite like this one?)

Below I've made a collage of the lipstick and the colour it is etc! 



I really do like the One Direction lipsticks. I'm not a screaming fan of One Direction but I decides to try their lipsticks and see what all the fuss is about and I'm defiantly glad I did because for £3 they are such a bargain and they have such lovely colours in there range.

Hiyaaaaa!!

PrettyLittleHighStreetFinds eh?

Took me ages to come up with a name which I liked and
which was available!! This is my first ever blog and well
this post is my first ever blog post! (How exciting?!)

Anyway, well what's the point in this blog?? I'll tell ya.

I'm a huge fan of beauty and fashion blogs and I always
find that the products or items shown are always a well
known expensive brand which lets face it most of us
(Including me) can't really afford!! But that doesn't mean
we have to go with out! I've created this blog because I
feel you can get just as good of a finish with cheaper
high-street products items and with this blog I can show you
what I find and what I think of them!

What can I expect from this blog??

Well I don't know really I'm just going to go with the flow!!
I'm really excited to do some hauls which will be both fashion
and beauty related however towards the festive season I will
probably do some lifestyle ones to! I also am really excited to
do some Get The Look posts from different celebrities, and of course
not forgetting the whole product reviews and recommendations! But I
will do all of this using the high-street 'alternatives'. I'm super excited and
I hope that you will all stick with me!



Thank youuuuu
