Kat Von D Saint & Sinner Painted Love Lipstick Set Review

Today i'm going to do my first ever review so, let's see how this goes! :)

Last year, my mum went to Hawaii and got me a few bits from a Sephora shop there! :) whenever she goes abroad, she ALWAYS gets me stuff from Sephora, it's like a tradition now hahaha! :) she picked me up the Kat Von D Saint & Sinner Painted Love lipstick set that looks something like thissss...
You get 6 mini lipsticks that come in black, red & silver shimmery cardboard packaging covered with a beautiful design all over. (I actually threw my box away because it ripped) but the lipsticks are;
Agatha / Cathedral / Forever & Never / Backstage Bambi / Adora / Stiletto

This set is no longer available to purchase on the Sephora website, so i'm not sure how much it was but you can get the full size versions HERE! :)
They are tinyyyy! so perfect to fit in your purse or a clutch bag! :)
as you can tell, the lipstick tubes are black with gorgeous silver rose detailing.

I think this lipstick set was a really good idea as you can test out 6 different colours instead of having to buy each one individually. However, I really wish there was a wider variety included as the set only contains different shades of browns/reds.
L-R: Agatha- a light nude peach shade which I used to wear a lot as you can tell by the picture..
Cathedral- a chocolate brown shade which i've used alot as a lip liner! then blended it in with Agatha.
Forever & Never- a metallic, shimmery bronze shade. I actually haven't used this one yet! D:
Backstage Bambi- a really hot pink, perfect for a night out!
Adora- a really deep spiced apple colour! I also haven't used this one either. (the award for abandoning the kat von d lipsticks goes to me! Oops).
Last but not least.. Stiletto- a deep blood red with slight orange undertones.

The lipsticks have really good staying power so you won't find yourself having to keep reapplying throughout the day- with them only being small, they will actually last longer than you think! :) I found them really mousturizing and highly pigmented, no doubt about that! So...

Time for swatches!!!

With & without flash!

Thank you for reading! Xo

What's in my bag & purse! :)

Today I thought i'd jump on the bandwagon and do a quick little 'what's in my bag' post :)
 
So, being a girl, I own quite a few bags/purses but this is my most favourite & the one I carry around the most- the Kardashian Kollection Large Black Stud Tote! 
Get yours here!
It cost £55.00 but I love it! It's really deep so it can fit alot of stuff in and has a smaller zipped pocket inside + 2 little pouches opposite, so plenty of space for whatever I wish to carry!
I loveee the stud detailing at the bottom of the bag, so glamorous!

These are the everyday items that I carry around :)
hairbrush / deodorant / hayfever nasal spray / ipod / phone charger / purse /lipstick / perfume.

My hair is constantly getting knotted up which is soooo annoying so I carry around a small little brush so it doesn't take up too much space in my bag :)
I never leave the house without any type of smelly! :) as soon as I start to feel sweaty or hot, I spray myself straight away. I cannot stand body odour! I always carry my YSL Babydoll that smells heavenly! It's definitely my favourite perfume ever! I highly recommend it and it's not that expensive either, compared to alot of perfumes! Available here. :)
In my bag right now, i'm carrying around MAC's 'Impassioned' lipstick which is a really beautiful, deep fuschia colour!

To match my black & gold studded Kardashian Kollection bag, I also got the purse! :) this isn't on the Dorothy Perkins website anymore, so i'm not sure where else you could purchase this but I actually wish I didn't get this one. The little studs fall off soooo easily! as you can tell from mine, it looks a complete mess! :(

In my purse, I always have my costa coffee card- I always get a costa drink whenever i'm in town! mmm :) my library card- I feel like the library is my second home at the moment! I'm always in there printing off cv's! :( also, my tattoo appointment card from months ago that I don't want to throw away!
There's always 1 or 2 spare hair clips in case I ever need one for the annoying little fly away baby hairs! My money- I have about £11-something to my name.. how depressing?
The last thing i'm going to mention in my purse is my LUCKY VEGAS POKER CHIP! :) it's not a real poker chip haha, it was a keyring I bought when I first went to las vegas, but it fell off the chain so I like to keep it in my purse because it's super cute :) 

Lastly, is my ipod! I always have this in my bag or in Craig's car. I hate travelling without music, especially them long bus journeys, so boringggg!
I've had my Hello Kitty ipod cover on it for about 3 years now, which I also got from Las Vegas, I think it was around $20.. you can probably find one similar on ebay :) so adorable!

Here are a few songs i've been OBSESSED with lately!
Demi Lovato's latest album 'Demi' is amazinggg! 
<3 
Give 'Really Don't Care'  & 'Something That We're Not' a listen! :) they're sooo upbeat and fun! Definitely my 2 faves right now, well done, Demi :)

Thank you for reading! :)
