Best of Beauty 2017: Favourite Lipsticks

Best of Beauty 2017: Favourite Lipsticks

Reviews Cosmetopia Digest   Sunday, December 31, 2017

Here's my penultimate post of the year (yes, there's one more left, and no, it isn't "Happy New Year", haha). This is the last installment of the Best of Beauty 2017 trilogy. It features my favourite lip products. Not just lipsticks - I've included my favourite bullet and liquid lipsticks, lip liners, toppers, balm, and glosses. Should probably have added a scrub - but nothing much wowed me this year, and it turns out that my favourite Lush Bubblegum breaks me out around my mouth. Pretty much all Lush products have been breaking me out badly - I wonder why!
Anyway, favourite lipsticks.

Scroll down to check out my favourite lip products for 2017 - including lipsticks, lip glosses, lip liners, balms, and more.

LookFantastic Beauty Box September 2017 Review, Unboxing

Unboxing Cosmetopia Digest   Tuesday, September 19, 2017

September 2017's LookFantastic Beauty Box is their birthday edit - it's their third anniversary. Birthday boxes always have to be special, and I expected this to be the best of the year from them. Also, next month marks the start of their Christmas countdown, and also the shipping of their Beauty Advent Calendar (see previous LF Advent Calendar reviews here and here). Needless to say, there was a lot of excitement about this box.

LookFantastic Beauty Box December 2016 Review

LookFantastic Beauty Box December 2016 Review

Skin care Cosmetopia Digest   Friday, December 16, 2016

After my November LookFantastic Beauty Box arrived a mere five days post-despatch, the December one crawled its way around the globe, arriving mid-month. Still, a late package is better than a LOST package, I say.
This month's LF Beauty Box is themed #LFXmas, of course. The packaging is rose gold - to match with the gorgeous LookFantastic Advent Calendar 2016, which I had unboxed here.
The Elle UK magazine for December 2016 is also included with the box. I hope they continue this well into 2017.

Holiday 2016: HQHair Beauty Bauble Contains 5 Makeup Products

Holiday 2016: HQHair Beauty Bauble Contains 5 Makeup Products

Primer Cosmetopia Digest   Tuesday, November 08, 2016

Worth £89, but priced at £25, containing four full-sized makeup products and one mini, the HQHair Beauty Bauble for Holiday 2016 makes the perfect stocking filler - or you can even hang it on the Christmas tree. It is one of the most fabulous, value-for-money Christmas gift sets I've seen this year.
For those wondering what "HQhair" is, they are a beauty retailer - they ship worldwide and sell makeup, skincare and more; not just hair care.
Their exclusive, limited edition bauble launched on 7 November 2016, nicely in time for Crimbo, and is available on pre-order - it will ship out on 11 November. It contains solid, well-coveted brands such as Illamasqua, OCC, and Nudestix.
The HQhair bauble is themed "Party in the Nude", and contains a universal bronze eyeshadow, a neutral lip and cheek pencil, a highlighter, a mascara, and a primer to bring it all together - everything you need to rock the Holiday season.
There is a strict limit of 1,000 of these, so you want to hurry before they are all gone. More below.

LookFantastic Advent Calendar 2016 Beauty Secret Vol 2 Review, Contents, Unboxing; Comparison vs 2015

LookFantastic Advent Calendar 2016 Beauty Secret Vol 2 Review, Contents, Unboxing; Comparison vs 2015

Skin care Cosmetopia Digest   Monday, November 07, 2016

Stealth is not needed for this prey - you swoop right in, tearing, clawing and ripping with both hands. So much so that you barely remember to click some hurried photographs right where you are. The LookFantastic Advent Calendar has turned me into a mad predator for the second year running.
Measuring a massive 1'5''x12''x 6'', the Holiday 2016 LookFantastic Advent Calendar, titled Beauty Secret Vol. 2, is a heavy white and rose-gold box packed with 26, not 25, beauty products. 
The 2015 LookFantastic Advent Calendar, reviewed here, measured 14''x11''x6'' in contrast. It was a white and yellow-gold box.
Because of last year's success, the 2016 LookFantastic Advent Calendar sold out on pre-order a full 24 hours BEFORE its scheduled launch date. I had posted spoilers here.
No way can I wait until advent. The box arrived; it was unboxed within minutes, as I hinted.

The 2017 LookFantastic Advent Calendar is available on pre-order here; I've just ordered mine.

WARNING: Do NOT scroll down if you are avoiding spoilers. I have photos of everything below.
