A £1.00 YSL dupe

Hi there!

One of my favourite brands of lipsticks has to be YSL. Their Rouge volupte range is amazing! I only own two shades as they are quite pricey, however, slowly but surely I shall be adding more.

The latest to be added to my ever growing lipstick collection is shade 19 'Fuchsia in Rage'  from the rouge volupte shine range.

Now, around a week ago, I was having a little rake through all of my make up and came across a make up revolution lipstick in the shade 'Crime' and noticed, it's a pretty amazing dupe for the YSL lipstick!!

I swatched both side by side and couldn't believe how similar they both are. The YSL has a little more sheen to it (as it's a rouge volupte shine) and is the smallest amount darker than 'Crime' from Make up revolution. I would say the MUR is a little longer wearing than the YSL, but other than that, these two could be twins.

So, if you're considering buying 'Fuchsia in Range' from YSL, definitely swatch 'Crime' first. You may just save yourself a buck or two

Do you have any lipstick dupes?

Handbag beauty essentials

Hi there!

When it comes to packing, whether that be a suitcase or handbag, I don't pack light. I always feel that if I don't carry something around with me, the day will come when I actually need said product and I won't have it with me.

I recently bought myself a new make up bag, and forced myself to severely reduce the amount of beauty items I carry around with me. 

Here are the things I deem essentials:

* Perfume. I always have to have a perfume with me, a little spritz every now and then throughout the day is essential to me. My current favourite, is YSL Black Opium. 

* Hand cream. My hands get so dry so quick, so hand cream is pretty much the first beauty item I make sure I have in my bag.

* Tangle teaser. Let's face it, nobody wants to looked windswept do they?

* Face powder. In all honesty, since I started to use this foundation, I don't feel the need to re-powder throughout the day. However, if I didn't carry it then you just know I'd look like an oil slick.

* Lipstick. My lipstick of choice changes on a daily basis, but it's an item I have to pop into my make up bag. Touch ups are a must when it comes to lipstick.

What are some of your beauty (or none beauty) essentials?
