Review: Clinique High Impact Lip Colour in Rosette

Hey! We've had such lovely weather recently, I feel quite spoilt actually haha. I thought I'd do a post today, since the lighting's quite good for photos! I've wanted to do this post for a while now, but I've just been lazy (I blame the sun). But yes, I'll get straight into it!

Last month I got my hands on some Clinique goodies, click here to read my Clinique freebies post. I was really excited about these products because they are a bit expensive for a student with no source of income! Today I'm going to review the High Impact Lip Colour with SPF 15 in Rosette, and the Dramatically Different Moisturising Lotion (in separate posts). I, being the retard that I am, completely forgot to apply the High Impact Mascara to photograph today...so that'll have to come in another post I'm afraid!

Starting off with the lippie...

I absolutely adore this lipstick, it is truly stunning in colour. Clinique describes it as a 'golden rose', which I think is spot on. It has a satin frost finish, the gold undertones give this lip colour a lot of depth.

Tagged! Writings on the Wall

It's nearly the Easter holidays, and the sun is shining...I'm in such a good mood! Although I dread to think the amount of revision I'll have to do in my two weeks off. The summer exams are really important, as they'll basically shape the rest of my life. No pressure then.

On a happier note! I was tagged by the lovely Aya from Codename Aya. She is such a sweet and genuine person, her blog is one of my favourites to read! Those DIY posts of hers make her blog different, and just really interesting in general! The reviews are also awesome, so please check her blog out!

Update & Experimental Look

Hello! It has been so long since my last blog post, too long! Moving house turned out to be more stressful than imagined, it has literally drained me. I always tired these days, even more so than before, which I did not think was possible.

So I’ve now fully settled in, and have the internet! Woooo! Cannot wait to catch up on everyone’s blog posts, I’ve missed my daily blog dose ha. I’m really loving the new house, the stress was definitely worth it.

Now, to the make-up! I’ve always been hesitant to be adventurous with my make-up. I’d go for the nude look every time, a few coats of mascara and some foundation. It’s probably because I am pretty much incapable of getting up in the morning. If it doesn’t get to the stage where I have to get up, then I just don’t. So I rarely get enough time to make myself look pretty. I have always wanted to branch out into the world of eyeshadows, but my awkward eyelids and my awful application stop me from even trying most of the time. I do however like playing with make-up when I'm bored, so here's a look I came up with!

Life without internet...

So I recently moved house...and I am internet-less. I don't know the technical details, but the internet provider needs to come to the house and install something so that we can have internet access (just read through that sentence, and it's not at all informative haha). And the bad news is, the earliest they can come is some time in April, I think it was the 17th or something? D: I have no idea how I am going to cope. I'm using the internet in my old house now, but it would be too much of a hassle to commute down here every day. :(

I've missed blogging and reading other people's posts..and just checking my email! Speaking of which, I am really quite gutted...I won a giveaway on the 16th, and since I haven't been able to check my email up until now, the prize got allocated to someone else...ahhh... :( :(

I think what I am going to do, is write the blog posts on Word and just post when I get a chance to. I've been so busy juggling school and moving, it's a nightmare. On the bright side, I do really really like the new house! :)

I have always dismissed 'Missing In Action' posts...but here I am writing just that. I really love the blogging community, and I hope I can be active in it again soon!

So to conclude, I am alive, just not able to get onto the internet. I seriously appreciate it now, I feel like I'm in the 80's without it. I'll work something out.

I just want to thank everyone who's read and commented on my blog posts whilst I've been away. I really appreciate it!

Much love,

Chuui

Review: Pantene Pro-V Smooth & Sleek 2 in 1 Shampoo and Conditioner

I don't usually use Pantene shampoos, because I heard somewhere ages ago that their shampoos make your hair fall out. It sounds really silly, but it has kept me away from their products, until now.

Review - Maybelline the Falsies Volum' Express in Black Drama

I have very short, thin, and straight lashes. Without mascara they look like curtains in front of my eyes, sigh... I have been on the quest to find the perfect mascara, a mascara that lengthens, curls and volumises...and all this without clumping. I have not yet found my HG mascara, but I have stumbled across some very good ones.

Around a month ago, I purchased this mascara. I have always been interested in mascaras that claim to give you that false lash effect. Is it really possible? I had to find out. I purchased the Black Drama version of this mascara, because it has a concentrated black fibre formula, and it's in the colour blackest black! I never knew this until recently, but mascaras lengthen because the fibres within them act as extensions on your real lashes. The extended lashes then get coated with mascara, blending the real and the synthetic together, achieving a lengthening effect! I bet this is common knowledge haha...

Onto the review...

Celebrating 10 Years of GLAMOUR - CLINIQUE freebies!

I went down to my local newsagents today for something to read, and discovered the April issue of Glamour magazine. It is a special collector's issue, celebrating 10 years of Glamour. I was very excited when I saw this, as each magazine comes with one sample of a selection of CLINIQUE products.

The products being given away and a brief description of each by Alessandra Steinherr:
