Outfit post: Zara Trousers



Top: Primark
Trousers: Zara

At first I was unsure of these trousers, they sort of look like PJ's,  resembling the boy in the striped pyjamas, but after a short while I decided to purchase them. They won't be to everyone's taste but I love them, and enjoy pairing them with cute crop tops and bardot style tops.

Jeffree Star Velour Liquid Lipstick 'Mannequin'






After Cocktail Cosmetics finally got a shade that I liked in stock of Jeffree Star's Velour Liquid Lipsticks I added it to my bag straight away and immediately went through the checkout. There are so many mixed reviews on these lipsticks, some stemming from their love or hate of the creator, which sometimes others have described as influencing how honest these people are when actually discussing the product itself, and at times it is difficult to distinguish between these. This is why I wanted to buy and try one myself, so I could find out the truth and see how well I would get on with these lipsticks. 

I chose the shade 'mannequin' not my first choice of colour I wanted to try, but still a nice shade, and the only one that Cocktail Cosmetics had in stock at that time that I would actually wear. It is a browny nude shade, described as a pale cool-toned nude, however I find that once applied to my lips and dried, it appears slightly than it does when swatched. 

On me, this lasted for the majority of the day, only coming off slightly after eating and drinking, and this is when I needed to re apply for the perfect finish, however it is definitely a long lasting lipstick, that is not too drying as long as you exfoliate and moisturise your lips as I found that it did stick to my dry lips a bit if I did not prepare them beforehand. 

I like that these are vegan and cruelty free. The packaging is gorgeous, the scent is not too overpowering but it is not my favourite smell, I own a fair few other liquid lipsticks that I prefer the smell of. 

I will definitely be purchasing a few more of these in the future, I have my eyes set on 'Posh Spice' and 'Celebrity Skin'. 

Do you own any of these liquid lipsticks?

TerraPrime Moroccan Argan Oil






This Morocan Argan oil has three uses, suitable for hair, skin and nails, and available in a 100ml sleek glass bottle, I can see this lasting for a long while as a little goes a long way. 

Having only used this on my hair, as I am very fussy and particular about skincare, I can only speak for this as a product for hair care. As someone who has long, temperamental hair, I enjoy trying and using out new products, to be able to compare and ensure the best for my hair. This claims to have an instant absorption into the hair and skin for shine and for longtime conditioning. I have been using this for a number of weeks now and not only after immediate use, but from using it over time, my hair appears shinier and thus healthier on a daily basis, and I like to use this after showering and sometimes sparingly at various other times of the day to tame frizz. I feel that this is definitely a product that absorbs quickly, it doesn't leave a sticky or greasy residue in the hair, however like previously noted, a little does go a long way, 

This oil protects from environmental factors and provides antioxidant to the hair and skin. Once rubbed between the palms of my hands I apply this to where instructed, on the roots and ends of my hair and any stray strands and overall after using this for a few weeks now my hair appears and feel a lot healthier than before which is probably down to the fact that this contains Vitamin E and Omega 3 Fatty Acids

This smells sweet, a tad like vanilla but is not too overpowering. This is also a great product for skin, and as I have dry and sensitive skin, I will certainly be trying it out on dry patches in the near future.
