Pit: Collection Lasting colour matte lipstick in Taffeta Bloom. I had high hope for this lipstick. I'm all about the matte so when I saw Collections new range of matte lipsticks I was very excited. The colour looked great, packaging was fine, everything was good until I applied it. It sticks to all the dry patched on your lips, gets in all those nooks and crannies you don't want it to get and just sits there. The colour really doesn't suit me which isn't the products fault, although there isn't a huge range in the matte section. The packaging doesn't stay on very well, although I do like the sleek design. Overall unfortunately I'm really not impressed which sucks as I thought I was going to find a new matte love, but alas apparently not.

Peak: Burt's Bees cranberry and pomegranate sugar scrub. I LOVE this stuff! My mum actually got this in a set from a charity shop (See post here). I really struggle with shaving my legs (TMI)  as I have sensitive skin and eczema, but this stuff has been amazing! I can't stand really thin scrubs with tiny particles, I'm all about the chunky, rough scrubs that actually do something, and this is one of them. It looks like a very similar consistency to The Body shop raspberry scrub with all the little seeds in it as well as being a sugar scrub and has such a strong scent. Although being rough, it has a tonne of oil in it which really moisturises and leaves your skin feeling amazing. They still sell this on FeelUnique but it's quite expensive, so if anyone has any suggestions for cheaper scrubs I could try, let me know in the comments!


What has been your Pit and Peek of the month?

Thanking you,

The newest ones are Peachy Keen (pink one) and Fawn Fancy (neutral/brown one). Peachy Keen is a coral pink which would be more suited for the summer. It has great pigmentation but it will stick to any dry patches to have on your lips. I'm not sure it totally suits me but I'm sure I'll find a way to make it work, maybe mixing it with another colour would work better.

Fawn Fancy is much more suited to my skin tone I think, although the packaging on mine isn't great as the bullet is a bit loose and scrapes along the side of the tube. It does mean I have to keep moving the lipstick back in to place which is bit of a faff, and it may end up breaking off soon. I haven't had this problem with any of the other lipsticks so maybe this was just a dud. But the actual colour is really nice, very pigmented, and I like to wear this along with MUA's Power pout in Rendezvous. Perfect for autumn!

The second two are Wild berry and Red siren. My favourites! Wild berry has been a favourite lipstick for a while now. I actually did a full review of it here. But in general it's a great lipstick and an amazing berry colour!

Lastly we have Red siren. This is more of a cherry red rather than a true red colour but it's still a build-able colour to get a nice bright red. It is a little dry or waxy when applying it but I can look past this as it gives a great colour. I do have a more expensive one from the body shop which gives a more glossy look, but I'm starting to prefer this one as it has a matte finish and lasts a little bit longer.

Overall for only £1 they're not half bad! They all have good pigmentation and are actually matte and stay on your lips throughout the day. The packaging lets them down a bit as the writing rubs off, the lid becomes loose and in one case the bullet is loose. But the actually product is worth it for only £1. Superdrug are currently having a 3 for 2 across all cosmetics so you can now get 3 of these for only £2, that's less than 70p each!

Have you tried the Matte collection from MUA?

Matte lipstick in Fawn Fancy - £1

Matte lipstick in Peachy Keen - £1

Intense eyeliner in Black - £1 (free with the offer)

I've been looking for a nice nude colour that's not like putting concealer on my lips, and this seems like it will be the perfect shade! I'm not sure the other shade will suite suit me so well, but I guess I can find a way to make it work. I've already got 2 others in this range and I love them so I have high hopes for these ones. 

I've been needing a new standard black eyeliner for a while now, but just forget to buy one so this one will do the job nicely. 

Would you guys like to see a review of just these two lipsticks or would you like to see my collection from this range? Let me know in the comments!

Why, hello there...

So I found my new favourite beauty product! I bring you, the Matte lipstick by MUA in Wild Berry.

As you can see, the writing is starting to wear off already, which shows you how much I use this! The packaging overall isn't the greatest as the lid isn't very tight and is prone to falling off, and I'm not too keen on the white. But it is only £1 so I can't really complain too much. Also the coloured bit at the end is actually the same as the product inside so you don't have to guess what's inside using stickers which are often no where near the actual colour.

Although the product looks very dark, it actually comes out a lot 'sheerer', which even though it's meant to be matte, I prefer this. It gives such a great colour which isn't do daring for the day but can also be built up to make a more vibrant colour for the evenings. 

This swatch was just a few strokes so you can see how it can be built up. It isn't completely matte but it definitely isn't 'shiny' like some lipsticks can be. On the other hand it doesn't last particularly long. If I want it to stay a bit longer I put a lip balm on under (normally baby lips cherry me) but this does mean it doesn't have a matte finish, although this doesn't really bother me.
I'm going to be doing a current lipstick collection post soon so make sure you look out for that!

Overall a fantastic product, amazing colour at such a great price! Really want to try the nude one in this collection.
You can get this lipstick from superdrug for £1

This is just a mini wishlist with things that I didn't include in my last wishlist because they're the cheaper ones. If you want to check out my last wishlist, click here. 

I've seen quite a few bloggers talking about the NSPA products, which are exclusive to ASDA so they're also really cheap, so I would love to try some of their products out!

I don't use lipsticks, but I thought i need to start somewhere and the Revlon lip butters look perfect! Also they have some really nice autumn/berry shades so I'm looking forward to getting one.

The new Barry M matte nail paints have gone down a storm on blogs everywhere! I've been wanting a matte nail polish for ages and when I found out Barry M had bought out a range, I was so excited! I really like the look of the black and red one. 

What's currently on your wishlist?
