AUTUMN/WINTER ESSENTIAL: DARK LIPS

I'm starting this new series over on my YouTube channel and here as well all about Autumn and Winter essentials. The first essential in this series is dark lips! I can never go past a gorgeous red or berry shade in the cooler weather because it contrasts so well with the dark layered outfits that I tend to reach for. So I have decided to share with you all my six favourite products for achieving the dark lips look, half drugstore and half high end so you have loads of options at different price ranges.

THE MET GALA 2014 FASHION - BEST AND WORST DRESSED

Last night in America was the Met Gala 2014, yet another event for celebrities to get dresses head to toe in their finest wear. As expected there were glimmering stars and their beauty made my jaw drop while others made me cringe. So I have chosen my best and worst three gowns from this years MET Gala...keep reading to see who made the cut and who could have chosen better dresses.

 

BEST DRESSED

Blake Lively in Gucci. With this breathtaking gown I saw a bit of real life Serena Van der Woodsen in Blake, either that or she hired the same stylist she had for Gossip Girl. In all seriousness though this is the most incredible dress from the entire event and my jaw dropped when I saw it for the first time. It's made from a gorgeous silky dusty rose material with a rose gold threading throughout. It hugs her curves in all the right ways with the neckline being the perfect combination of low cut yet classy. My favourite feature is the elegant ruching of material around the waist and also at the shoulders because it makes the dress so unique. This gown also features a subtle mermaid hemline as well as an interesting train. I think it could have definitely done without the train but it adds so much more character to the dress so I actually like it.

MAC "REBEL" LIPSTICK {REVIEW AND SWATCHES}

Now that the weather is finally cooling down in Brisbane I have started pulling out all of my deep Autumn and Winter lip shades, of them including MAC Rebel. To me this lip colour is why I get excited about my makeup in the cooler months, it's just such a bold makeup statement that I think perfectly compliments the cooler weather colour scheme and fashion also. Keep reading to find out more about my thoughts on this highly raved about lip shade.

COLLECTION OVERVIEW: MAYBELLINE SUPERSTAY LIP PRODUCTS

We all hate it when we find ourselves reapplying our lip product continuously throughout the day so that's why most companies have a long lasting range with Maybelline being no exception. I wanted to put the Maybelline SuperStay range to the test and let you all know what I think that way if you have been looking for a lip product that lasts a long time then hopefully this can help.
