The Damned - Topshop Lipstick Review.

Hey everyone!

I have a little review for you today on a new lipstick I spontaneously purchased whilst spending my birthday money last week. 

I actually saw a poster on the beauty counter for 'The Damned' (sold on the name alone) Topshop Beauty collection. The girl on the posters lips looked a beautiful deep purple/red colour and I made the massive mistake of not swatching the tester first! I saw the strip of colour on the packaging (see picture below) and assumed this was 'the one'.

When I got it open it looked still quite dark but once it was on it was more of a bright pinky-purple, but it's still a lovely colour:

The finish is velvety but also has a good moisture to it so your lips are still smooth and lasted about 4 hours.

I actually ended up really loving the colour as the more I applied the darker it got and it went well with my hair.

Have you used Topshop lipsticks before? What did you think?

Beauty Review: Carex Hand Creams.

Working in a Cafe I have alot of washing up-to do (and then some more when I get home) and there is also alot of washing my hands between making foods. I noticed my hands getting dry and cracking in this cold weather already so when I was asked to trial the new Carex Hand Creams I had to jump at the chance and they are so good I just have to review them and share them with you lot :)

I've been using them religiously for 2 weeks now changing which one I use each day and they are so handy to keep in your bag. My hands are already alot softer and hydrated and haven't been irritating or sore from the cold/washing my hands. They are also anti-bacterial so aswell as keeping you moisturised they also protect form bacteria. 

Carex Anti-Bacterial Hand Creams. 

My favorite is the 'nourish & protect' which has extra vitamin e to keep you extra soft!

These are new out and retail at £2.49 so not bad at all! Plus I've been using mine about 5/6 times a day and hardly made a dent as you only need a little amount because it dries so well into the skin.

What hand creams do you use to protect your hands from the elements and daily chores?
