KISS Cosmetics KISStick first impressions...

Hey guys! Today I am giving you my first impressions and pictures of a new lipstick to my collection.
I was lucky enough to be sent to one of the new KISS Cosmetics mini lipsticks to review. These minis retail at £2, and they are such a good idea for when you don't want to spend the money to buy the full sized lipstick and you just want to try it out. They would also be perfect for travelling or to fit in your purse. 
I was sent the shade Caressing Red, which is a gorgeous blue toned, bright red, so it makes your teeth look super white.
I don't usually wear red lipstick, I have a couple that I LOVE but I still rarely wear them, so I was slightly disappointed when I saw they'd sent me a red lipstick, as I would have chosen a nude myself. BUT, this lipstick is super creamy, it doesn't transfer onto your teeth, it was easier to apply than other lipsticks I own, and the colour is beyond beautiful! It also has a gorgeous satin finish. I have a new FAVOURITE red lipstick! I felt so glamorous with this bright red on my lips. 

This is what it looks like on the lips:










Overall, I LOVE this lipstick!
I will wear this lipstick as often as I can, as it really does make you feel amazing.

Thanks for reading, I hope you liked it.

Disclaimer: yes, this product was sent to me for free to review, but this is still my 100% honest opinion. I'd never ever promote a product that I didn't actually like.

My Makeup Revolution lipstick collection and SWATCHES...

Hey everyone, so, I thought that as I recommend any MUA and Makeup Revolution lipsticks in my Makeup Starter Kit Essentials post, I thought it would be useful if I showed you my collection and swatches.
I am starting it all off by showing you my Makeup Revolution lipstick collection and swatches, as MUR is a brand that I love, it is one of my all time favourite brands, and the vast majority of the products I have used are actually amazing.

Here is a picture of all of my MUR lipsticks. Most of them are the £1 lipsticks, but 5 of them are the I Heart Makeup lipsticks that are around £2.99 each.

So, here are the swatches:



L-R: nude, the one, dusky, divine



L-R: dazzle, cheer, chic, enchant, crime


L-R: rebel with cause, dare, reckless, passion, fusion.


L-R: black heart, make me tonight, make it right, 100% vamp.


L-R: baby doll, racing heart, immoral, heart is pumping, irregular heartbeat, marshmallow kiss.
As you can see, the majority are super super pigmented despite how cheap they are! The stand out shades, in my opinion are, dusky, crime, reckless, make it right, 100% vamp and marshmallow kiss. I love most of them, but they are definitely the ones I'd recommend the most and are amongst the most pigmented.
The matte shades are a little drying, but if you apply a tiny bit of lip balm under the lipstick then it'll massively reduce this!

Overall, I will always recommend MUR lipsticks, they are so cheap, yet amazingly pigmented and the none matte shades are super creamy, yet the matte shades do look gorgeous on the lips!

You can buy them directly from the Makeup Revolution website, or from selected Superdrug stores and online.
