The only item I've ever wanted /needed from CT is the Bar of Gold. Holy cow how I wanted that and with it being summer now I hear you cry "That would be perfect to kiss your bronze cheeks". Did I buy it... no!
Anyway, when I headed into Birmingham with Amy for a Five Guys burger, we just happened to stumble into Selfridge's and so be it that CT opened the previous week, we had to have a mooch.
Flustered with the crazy bad lighting they have in Selfridge's and a million and one make up items we just stood staring and sampling out everything on the backs of our hands. There is honestly so much I could of bought in CT, her make-up is fabulous.
After much deliberation I decided upon a lip cheat & gloss, 2 products I will definitely get my wear out of. So here they are in there finery.
So first things first, if you haven't been to the stand in Selfridge's Birmingham yet get your butt down there. The girls are really friendly so don't be afraid to ask or try it out... like we did and end up looking like your baby cousin has gone crazy on you with felt tips. Secondly, apologies about my awful sharpening antics on this beautiful pencil, I used it that much it needed re sharpening.
Lip Cheat Re-Shape & Re-Size liner : 'Pillow Talk'
I certainly love a nude lip, and this looked the perfect nude for me. It matches pretty close to my natural lip and seeing as mine aren't as juicy as Angelina Jolies, I have to do a lil' cheatin sometimes. The formula is really smooth, rich in colour and creamy. It's pretty long lasting for a lip liner, the first time I wore it I eagle eyed it until I could no longer see it. I got around 3 hours out of it. That's with using straws in my drinks, but after I'd eaten it was game over.
Lip Lustre - Sweet Stiletto -Luxe colour lasting lip lacquer :
I'm a huge lip gloss fan, I honestly have about 20 nudeish lip glosses that I can say I pretty much wear all of, so for me to buy another well all the excuse I needed was 'I haven't got one from this range'.
I love the way this applies, you can apply it sparsely or as generously as you want to and I dont find it all sticks around the top of the bottle like a lot do, although it is pretty pigmented so it does give good coverage. It does have a sticky texture to it but nothing like a MAC Lipglass. It gives a beautiful long lasting high shine, I do get about 2/3 hours out of this which is pretty good for a gloss.
If you want to see what Amy bought, check her post out here.
I honestly love these products and can't wait for my next sneaky visit to Birmingham so I can pick out some more. Next on the hit list I'd like to try a blush as I'm a bit of a blush queen, I probably have every variation of pink and peach you can get, but hey what's one more! The Dolce vita quad, this seems more like something I'd wear in the autumn so I can do some saving. The full fat lashes mascara and finally the Multi miracle glow.. roll on payday!
