Soap & Glory: Sexy Mother Pucker LipGloss- Review

Hellooooo!

So i've been hearing about this lipgloss from Soap & Glory called 'Sexy MotherPucker' ad it sounded really funky lmao so i decided to test it out! This is my lil review.

Soap & Glory: Sexy MotherPucker in 'Peach' £8

Claims:  

Extreme formula lip plumping gloss, with scientifically-proven plumping microspheres that explode in volume up to 10x when they come in contact with water. Formulated Sexy MotherPucker with a rare circulation enhancing ingredient that gives your lips a little ‘electric’ buzz, to move more blood around the area, creating the swelling effect mentioned above)

(This was the best swatch I could come up with..it's a peachy colour but it comes out as clear on my skintone)

So I tried on the lipgloss and it shows up as frosty/clear on my lips instead of a peachy colour, which I guess is ok with me as i've been meaning to buy a clear gloss for ages.

About 5 minutes after I applied the gloss, my lips started vibrating! I then read the packaging and found out that it was actually a lip-plumping gloss...and to be honest it did feel quite uncomfortable..! The gloss was quite sticky and gloopy to apply however it did have some staying power as i've been wearing it now for an hour and it's still looking quite slick.

However this 'lip vibration' thing is really...maybe because it's my first lip-plumper, i'm not used to the buzzing sensation. Now my lips are already quite plump so i couldn't reeeeeally see a difference in size so I think it's best for girls with smaller lips.

I forgot to take a pic of my lips before I applied the gloss so i'll just use an old lip photo for a 'before and after'.

Before:

After:

 

Can anyone see a difference? I'm still looking lol.

Overall, the consistency of the product is good, albeit the gloopyness...and I cannot STAND the stinging, but maybe i'll get used to it later...but I like the colour and the quality of the product is worth the price!

3 stars!

Steevie's Favourite Style Websites $

Ahhh, Christmas. It's that time of year again folks! A time of sharing good will, spending time with the family, unwrapping presents, watching cheesy musicals on TV and having the annual 'Major Family Reunion Argument' <-- (Good times lol), but what mostly excites me about this period, are the SALES.  Come December 26th, after recieving my Xmas money, I will be out there, amoung others, fighting for that 75% off dress or those 40% off pair of shoes. However, I shall also be splashing out online too as many online clothing stores give further discounts. 

So in honour of the Christmas sales coming up, I thought I would compile a list of my FAVOURITE online/ Accessories stores and share it with you guys for you to browse and hopefully find some real good bargains come sale time! The majority of the websites are British but again, the majority of these sites should be able to deliver internationally as well, so without further ado:

1. ASOS.COM (As Seen On Screen) - My all time FAVOURITE website which my Mother actually got me on to about 5 years ago. 

In the past, they only sold clothes which were imitating clothes worn by Celebrities, but now, they have really stepped into their own, creating their own designs and retailing high fashion clothing and accessories at cheaper prices. You can find really cute stocking fillers on this site too! They do the most amazing dresses as well as glasses (See my photo on the top left? The glasses, ASOS baby :) ) - They Provide International Shipping

OMG You can get snow in Farmville now!!! Brb..

Ok, sorry about that lmao, I was playing on Farmville for a bit. I LOVE that game! Anyhoo back to the list:

2. My Wardrobe  - Super stylish clothing for office, party or the beach from labels like Lulu Guinness, Twenty8Twelve, Mulberry and Paul Smith. They also get exclusives from celeb designers such as Nicole Richie and the Olsen sisters. They provide international shipping.

3. BooHoo - Great website for finding something cheap and cheerful yet also fashionable! Provides Domestic/European Shipping Only.  

4. BunnyHug - You know when you're reading through your fashion/gossip magazines and you see paparazzi pics of celebs wearing really cool slogan t-shirts? Well this is the website to go to to get your own! They source up and coming niche American labels and share them with the worrrrrrrld. Provides International Shipping.

5. Motel Rocks - Now I LOVE THIS WEBSITE. Their clothes are uber-chic whilst being extremely..EXTREMELY affordable!! They deal in edgy, rocky clothes which i like..aaaaaaaaaaand, it's FREE shipping to America!! It's International baby!

6. A|Wear - Really really decent clothes! Provides International Shipping

7.  Birdy Num Num  - For vintage heads. I lurrrrrrrrrrve Vintage and this store has some great vintage bags, compact mirros and other little bits and bobs like that! Provides International Shipping

8. Not On The High Street - GREAT store for unique gift ideas!! They have some real cute items on here, it's worth a look Provides International Shipping

9. Cocosa - An Invite-Only website where they specialize in designer clothing at bargain prices! Only Available in the United Kingdom at the moment

10. www.fairytalesandpostitnotes.com - Aside from the utterly GORGEOUS website name, this website is ideal for vintage inspired jewellery and gifts at reasonable prices. I've copped a couple of earrings and stuff from here and they are amazing! Provides International Shipping

11. Happy Box London - A delightful little website where you can buy little things to cheer your family/friends up! I bought some really cuuuuuuuute candles for my mother this Mother's day from this site and they smelled amazing! Domestic Shipping Only atm

And there we have it folks! I hope you like the sites i've put up, happy hunting!

Blusher & Lipstick!

Random Makeup Post -

The other day i bought some blusher, which I never used to use as when i applied it, I used to look more like a clown lol (this sentence is SOO poorly structured, plz forgive, i'm watching Telly lmao)

I decided to buy the Sleek brand in a kinda dusty orangyyyy/rose colour which is cute.

And it was only like £3 which is cool!

I then bought some new lipsticks (is lipstick plural? lipsticks..lipstick..Ohh i don't know, i'm exhausted LMAO) One brilliant pink one from Maybelline..I can't remember the number, i'll post it later..and then another Neutral/tan coloured lippy which is also from maybelline:

 

I think i prefer the pink -  the latter looks kinda.....I don't know, maybe i'll get used to it lmao!

My ATTEMPT at doing a Manga Eye lmao!

So the other day, I was feeling extremely bored/creative so I started digging around my makeup bag to pass the time, I saw this make-up tutorial the other day about 'manga' eyes, and Lady gaga recently had a Hello Kitty Shoot with this same design on her eyelids:

So I thought...Why not? Even though all I had to use was a black kohl eyeliner pencil and some random silver eye glitter..I thought i'd try it out and see what it looks like after...here are the results:

 

It doesn't look like an eye to me....Can YOU see an eye??

Probably if you take 4 steps back and squint a bit lmao!
