I'm now back in London, I came back to that massive pile of packages yesterday after an early morning flight. I've got so many new things to post about!

No Sunlight.



♥ I thought a little update post was in order, since I've been away in Scotland for the last 5 weeks and blogging has been a bit over the place. I was originally meant to fly back to London on Monday (9th) but decided to stay another week and go to Glasgow to see Jordan as it's the last time I'll see him for a bit. I had the best week, although it went far too quickly!
My flight is at 7am tomorrow morning, my suitcase is overflowing and I know I'll be feeling a little bit homesick for the first few weeks but I'm looking forward to getting back to normal.

♥ I have a lot of things to blog about over the coming weeks. I've still been getting my usual beauty boxes, but they were sent to my London address so I haven't posted any of the December boxes. I think it's probably a bit late to post now, so I'm not sure what I'll do. Maybe a video instead, or a review of each product. Let me know what you'd like to see!

♥ I've really got in to Instagram in the last few weeks. I've always kind of used it but never with any enthusiasm, if you want to follow me, my username is gh0stparties 


♥ I think that's everything really! Thank you for putting up with my sporadical blogging recently, normal posting shall hopefully resume tomorrow when I'm back in London! Big love. xo.

Review: Look Beauty Double Hit Lip in Rose Riot



Look Beauty Double Hit Lip in Rose Riot - £7 (Sample from an event)


I've raved about this lip product several times, but still not had the chance to blog about it. I wasn't that fussed about the Look Beauty range. A beauty range coming from a magazine sounded a bit toy-in-cereal-box to me, but I had a lovely time at the launch and we were given great goody bags to take home. 

This product consists of a supposedly matte lipstick (I wouldn't say matte as it has quite a frost/sheen to it) at one end, and a lipgloss at the other. You can use each side alone or together.
This product really stuck out to me, despite the colour being far too bright for me (in the packaging) and also the small fact that I never, ever wear lipgloss. 
I have quite dry lips, lipsticks rarely last on me so mostly, I don't bother much. However, this lipstick has some serious staying power. It almost sets on your lips, and stays for hours. It reminds me of NARS Orgasm, that sort of peachy pink with a gold sheen. 
I wear the lipstick alone quite often, but probably more often with the lipgloss. 

Although I'm not a fan of lipgloss (I think it looks a bit overdone on me, and also it's sticky and my hair gets stuck in it), I use this most days when I'm heading out. As you can see in the picture above, it's not overly glossy and leaves quite a subtle sheen to the lips without that sticky, unnatural feeling. It also smells incredible!

In all honesty, this has become one of my favourite lip products. It stays on for hours, the lipgloss is perfect for keeping lips moisturised and adding a bit of a gloss. 

Have you tried any of the Look Beauty range?
