When I think of lip gloss, memories come flooding back of me
as a kid layering it on like there was no tomorrow. But since then I’ve strayed
away and haven’t worn it in years. Since discovering MAC lipsticks I’ve stayed true and haven’t bothered layering gloss on top. Nowadays, when I’m
wearing a full face of makeup or even just the bare basics I tend to stick to
lip balm – I can’t really be bothered with the lipstick upkeep throughout the
day. Now that lipstick is proving to be a bit too high-maintenance, I thought
why not dabble in the lip gloss department again.
Over the last few weeks I've been slowly collecting a few bits and bobs, so I thought I'd stick them all together in a mish-mash haul. It's mostly beauty bits, with a few added extras.
There’s no doubting that everyone and their dog has heard
of these, and there’s still a huge hype surrounding them. I completely fell
for the hype, and I have to say I completely agree with it. So let’s start from
picking them. There is a serious lack of NYX counters in the UK, so it makes
it quite difficult to choose your shades. I had a look at images of swatches
online, and I found that YouTube reviews with swatches were really helpful. My
favourite is Kathleen Lights video.
