I’ve been lusting over Kylie Jenners lips recently (well come on, who hasn’t?!) and I really wanted to transform my flat, lifeless lips into a more full pout. I heard that the lipliner she uses is Mac’s Whirl – which was completely out of stock when I went to purchase it. So I took to swatching and found that Spice was a similar colour and really suit me – so I opted for that instead! I am absolutely useless at explaining colours so I’ve included a swatch for you!
I’m a poor student at the moment, so splashing out on lip products isn’t something I usually do and I thought that £13 for a lip liner pencil was extortionate but I soon fell in love with the colour and just had to have it. I’m so glad I bought it. The colour lasts forever and suits me unlike any other I’ve tried. My Mac lipstick in Cherish would go perfectly on top of this, I just can’t seem to find it anywhere! Sometimes I wear this on it’s own, other times I wear it with a gloss. Overall I’m really impressed with this lip liner and I’ll definitely be purchasing it again when I run out. I’m on the hunt for Mac’s lipstick in Velvet Teddy next. Another Kylie Jenner staple which is also sold out everywhere!
The next item I purchased was Mac’s lipstick in Mehr. It’s a rich pink-y purple colour (see, I told you I’m awful at explaining colours…) which is a matte lipstick. I’ve given up on any other type of lipstick (satin, glossy, sheer etc) as just none of them stay on my lips! I have a real problem with it. I like this colour, but I don’t think I like it on me… I’m seriously thinking about selling this lipstick or what not as I don’t think I will really wear it much at all. I much prefer the soft nude/brown, a glossy soft pink lipgloss or a deep fall colour. I’m not a massive fan of pink, red or orange lips on myself as I prefer the attention to be on my eyes!
To go with this lipstick I got a Sleek lip liner in Lingerie which retails for £4.99 and is a very, very similar colour to the lipstick mentioned above, however on it’s own is a bit sticky. Which I dislike. Yet again, this is a colour I’m not too fond of and I don’t think I will be wearing much in the future. A shame as they are both beautiful colours, however just simply don’t suit me as much as I want them to.
The last thing I bought was a Tanya Burr lipgloss! I wasn’t dying to try these out as honestly, I didn’t expect too much from them but WOW they are gorgeous. They smell heavenly and give the perfect glossy finish. I got the colour Chic which I use over the top of my Mac lip liner when I want a more subtle finish of the liner. I will definitely be going back and probably end up with the whole collection soon enough as I love every colour. They’re affordable lipglosses at £6.99 (but if you’re reading this post near the 09/09/2014 – They’re on sale for £4.99). I don’t really have much else to say on it other than well done Tanya! I love the glosses.
That’s all I’ve bought recently! I’m on a massive spending ban in regards to makeup as I’m trying to use up what I already have and save for other things. Let me know in the comments if there’s anything you would like to see from me! I’m thinking of doing a Fashion haul or some outfits of the days soon! Lots planned.
Talk to you soon & lots of love,
Katie Elizabeth xx

I am really struggling to find a decent liquid eyeliner any suggestions?
Katie Elizabeth says
My favourite one out of all of the ones I’ve tried is the Collection liquid eyeliner in the pen form, it’s so easy to use! X
Rebecca says
Thanks I will try that one 🙂

Loved this! Been looking for a Jenner lip tip for ages! Joining you on the poor student statement it’s definitely my next must-have when I have money!
Keep it up Katie, really enjoying your stuff!
Love Charr ❤

I have plenty! Yes definitely worth it – try and get your hands on Whirl lip liner & Velvet Teddy lipstick though, they’re the exact she uses x
