Drug-store Lipstick Dupe: Chanel Rouge Coco 05 Mademoiselle

I have recently become a lover of dark nude lipsticks since I was generously gifted Chanel 05 Mademoiselle for Christmas and I can't get enough of it. It goes so so well whatever makeup look I decide to wear and is defiantly an amazing 'you lips but 1,000 times better' colour which i adore and i'm sure this would suit all skin tones! I prefer darker nudes to lighter nudes as they can wash me out completely.

I was wondering around Boots today with my mum and at the L'oreal stand spotted this gorgeous lipstick in the shade '302 Bois De Rose' and it wan't until I got home I realised how similar the colours were. (A haul of my other purchases will be up soon...)

The price is a steal at £6.99 compared to the steep price of £25 for an almost identical Chanel version.

I 100% prefer the Chanel version but it's a close call. If you can justify treating yourself I would really recommend buying it - If you're on a lower budget the L'oreal lipstick is just as good - I prefer the application of this product as it has a slightly pointed tip so accuracy is easy.

I'll speak to you all soon,

Bobbi Brown 'Warm Eye Palette' Review

Shades (Left - Right): Bone, Champagne Quartz, Malted, Gold, Sable & Espresso

'Jaw dropping' is the simple phrase I would use to describe this palette.

It must have been around November time when I was scrolling through the John Lewis website looking at the new Christmas beauty collections which is when I stumbled upon this. I have never owned anything from Bobbi Brown before but when I saw this my mouth literally dropped which is a first for me and make up. It is the perfect neutral every occasion palette.

It consists of a really amazing double sided brush and 6 shades of eye shadow in total. 4 being beautiful matte shades and the other 2 being shimmers. This is hands down better than the naked palette in my opinion which I never thought would come out of my mouth. I say this because this has zero fall down (apart from the shade 4th from the left called gold) unlike the naked palette which means I can make a last minuet decision of applying the shadow rather than having to apply it before my base make up to avoid a mess. The eye shadows are so creamy and apply beautifully and I just cannot speak any more highly of this palette. It's around the £30 - £40 mark which isn't too bad for the amazing quality but if you want this go and get it ASAP with your Christmas money as it is limited edition and you don't want to miss out on this. Also can we please talk about how lovely the packaging is? it looks a million dollars and when I get this out of my draw I get so excited to apply it (I'm not crazy I swear). The day I finish this palette will be a sad day. I am 100% going to check out more Bobbi Brown products.

I'll speak to you all soon,
