SS14 Trend | Orange Lipstick

Hello Glitterjunkies!

Spring is finally here and that means it is time to take a look at the new trends.

One of them is the orange lip. And I have been loving it already!

I know that this trend is something for the brave, but just try it! You'll probably love it as well!

You can obviously use a more sheer lipstick for this look, but I thought I'd go all out today and show you a very bright one.

This is the lipstick I used. It's a Catrice Ultimate Colour one in 330 The Lips Are On Fire.

This is how my lips look when they're completely nude.

Here are a few tips for wearing such a bright lip:

* Keep the rest of your makeup simple.

* Add a few pops of colour in your outfit but don't overdo it.

* Carry a little mirror with you at all times to check your lipstick.

* Don't forget to put your lipstick in your purse.

* If you've re-applied it too much, just wipe it all off. It's a lot easier.

* Be confident about it!

Love always

There's something new in town | Review

Hello Glitterjunkies!

Believe it or not but last week I was roaming around the aisles of my local drugstore and I found something that amazed me by just swiftly looking at it, so naturally... I had to buy it.

These aren't nailpolishes as you may think (and as I thought at first). Oh no, these are lipsticks. Or well, liplacquers to be more precise. They are from Gosh and I have been testing them out for you in the last couple of days.

I only bought two, even though the line carries 8 different colours, just because I wanted to figure out if they were worth the money.

006 Funky lips - 003 Sweet lips

Sweet lips is a very light pink, nude-ish colour. I had a to apply multiple layers before achieving this rahter opaque effect. But it doesn't bother me that much, you just have to keep that in mind.

Funky lips has a lot more pigment than Sweet lips. I absolutely love the colour, but if you want to achieve the opaque look you have to apply at least 2 layers as well. 

The lacquers are very creamy, which unfortunately means that they don't stay long on the lips. 

These survive a drink, but they aren't food resistant at all. The good thing is that they fade rather naturally, so you aren't left with that weird line around your lips.

Glitter points go to:

* The packaging is really cute and cool how it looks exactly like a nailpolish

* It doesn't dry your lips out

* The price is at €8,49 really good for what you get
* It fades really naturally

* The sponge applicator is really nice

Glitter-nono's go to:

* The lasting power isn't great

* You have to apply a few layers to get an opaque colour

* The smell isn't the best

Overall I really like this product. There are a few bad points, but I can definitely look past that.

I hope you like this review and if you end up buying this product, let me know what you think!

Love always

The Perfect Red Lip

Hello Glitter Junkies!

I have a confession to make.

I love red lipstick. In every way possible. I feel like it just completes a makeup look every single time.

But finding the right colour isn't always easy. So today I'd bring you some inspiration and show you my perfect red lip. I have to warn you though, I don't use just one lipstick (that's a little trick I stole from red lipstickqueen Marilyn Monroe). 

This is it! My personal perfect Red Lip!

To create this lip, I used three different lipsticks.

I used a Catrice lipstick in CO2, Roaring Red, a Rimmel London lasting finish by Kate Moss lipstick in 107 and a ELF luscious lipstick in Strawberry.

I started with applying the Catrice lipstick all over. 

After that I used the Rimmel lipstick on the outer third of my lips. This way I created more dimension.

Lastly I applied the ELF liquid lipstick just in the middle of my lips. This makes them look fuller, again adds extra dimension and gives some shine.

And that's it. This is what I do, to make the perfect red lip. I love how sophisticated and classic it looks!

If you found your perfect red lip, please tweet your photo's to me (@SophieClaeys) or use the hashtag #glitteroverdose on Instagram, so I can check them out!

Love always

Sophie
