Look Loud Lips in Tangerine Cream

Look Loud Lips in Tangerine Cream £7*

Look Beauty Range is fast becoming one of my favourite drug store brands and in particular, true to form, the Loud Lips Lipsticks are right up there with my top picks from their line. I received three of their lipsticks, which have also been reviewed, being Baby Doll, Toffee Cup, and finally Tangerine cream.

All of the Loud Lips range are housed in baby pink boxes adorned with the Ashley Isham print which is also embossed on the sturdy, magnetic silver casing. I like the magnetic casing as it shuts close in a jiffy and my lipstick feels protected, despite not being the most delicate packaging wise I do find the print extremely pleasing to the eye.

As many of you may be very aware I am a HUGE advocate for corals and tangerine cream fits the bill and also reminds me of my beloved Cut a Caper from MAC ( review here). Tangerine Cream is a fairly pale orange toned lippy which may have to be built up for a more visible coat of coral or can be worn as a lighter based coral with one subtle slick. The pigmentation of loud lips aren't fantastic and for me, a brighter lip fan, you may need to build up two or three layers which will then last on the lips for around two to three hours. However, this doesn't really bother me in the slightest as I absolutely adore the creamy formula of the range which feel baby bottom soft and smell good enough to eat.  True to the name, Tangerine Cream, the shade is a milky orange which is best suited for the warmer months or for a subtle work lipstick.

For £7 I swear by their range and only wish their were more shades available as they are a really moisturising treat for my winter windsmacked lips. Have you tried much from the Look Beauty Range?

I also have a new sidebar and blog button image designed by the lovely Tami from Aztec Wolves who is mega talented at all things arty so a massive thank you to her.

look loud lips: baby doll

Look Loud Lips in Baby doll *£7

Second of the three Loud Lips lipsticks I received in my Look Beauty Prize was the shade Baby doll (the other two being Toffee Cup and Tangerine Cream). I must admit at first I was thinking of adding this lippie to my give-away prize as I'm not a fan on pink lipsticks no matter what the shade, I just have always doubted that I could pull off a subtle pink let alone barbie pinks and fuchsia's due to my colouring.  But then I stopped to think 'but Lauren you've never tried' and so here we are.

The Look Loud Lips range are housed in baby pink boxes with Ashley Isham print for decoration which is also embossed on the sturdy, magnetic silver lipstick casing. I like the magnetic casing as it shuts close in a jiffy and my lipstick feels protected. Despite not being the most delicate packaging wise I find the print extremely pleasing to the eye.

Baby Doll is a pale barbie pink that applies more subtle than it appears in tube form but can also be build up for a brighter pink lip. Look Loud Lips from my personal experience are a delightful addition to your lips, I love the creamy formula which feels light to touch once applied and buttery soft. I find myself rubbing my lips together often which perhaps isn't the best thing for longevity but they really do feel that soft, and they're extremely moisturising. Pigmentation wise these aren't the best and longest wear I would say would be a max. of three hours but that wouldn't put me off purchasing from their collection, I only wish there was more shade to choose from!

top - new look

jeans - topshop

plimsoles - miss selfridges
lipstick - look loud lips in toffee cup

eye makeup: Look Triple Hit Eyeshadow - party fever shade 3

Look Statement Eyes - LBD shade 16

Look Statement Eyes- Bare shade 3

L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara

I was messing around with some of my new eyeshadows, in particular the look triple hit trio shadows, and I created this look to go with a nude lip for an evening look. It is a bit of a twist on the smokey eye opting for purple shades rather than my usual dusky browns but I actually really like it and look forward to wearing it on a night out. What do you think?

I'm also recently really getting into olympic fever, if you follow me on twitter you might have seen me pretty much live tweeting most of the games as I have literally been glued to the olympic channels on sky. I'm quite patriotic, well very patriotic, on the whole any way inheriting also the soppy, emotional gene from my dad you can find me welling up over the men's gymnastics - which our boy were absolutely sensational in! - as well as young South African Chad Le Clos beating his hero, Michael Phelps, in the swimming.
I love the national spirit and living in London especially we have all really soaked up the atmosphere and I was literally jumping around when Helen and Heather got gold for us today in the rowing - beaming with pride! Come on Team GB!!

Have you got the olympic bug? What are some of your favourite olympic moments so far?

p.s. don't forget to enter my giveaway, you've only got a fews day left to grab a chance to win some look beauty goodies, good luck!

Look Double Hit Lip in Rose Riot

Double Hit Lip in Rose Riot* £8

Enter my new favourite lip product! I have been eager to try these out for quite some time but never got round to it so was over the moon when I saw this in my Look Beauty Prize and I've been wearing it pretty much everyday since it arrived - such a flattering summer shade!

There are three ways you can wear this product, using the matte lipstick alone (although I wouldn't quite class it as matte as it has quite a sheen to it), lip gloss alone, or obviously both together which is what I tend to do most often. I absolutely adore the shade which you can see me wearing more clearly in this post, it is a gorgeous peachy pink with flecks of gold underlying it. It very much reminds me of NARS Orgasm (post here) in tube form, I just can't get over how pretty it is!

As for staying power this product has got what it takes lasting me up to several hours which is always an added bonus so you don't need to be constantly re-applying. I'm not a huge fan of lip gloss finding it too sticky and hate getting my hair stuck to my lips so I do apply this sparingly but not much is needed, and boy does it smell good! Seriously, have a sniff, it smells good enough to eat!

I look forward to trying it in Citrus Kick next! Have you bought any products from the Look Beauty range?

look loud lips: toffee cup

Look Loud Lips in Toffee Cup* £7

I was lucky enough recently to win Look Magazine's 'What I'm Wearing' Street Style competition and to my joy a bundle of cosmetic delights was my prize that arrived on my doorstop yesterday morning - it felt like Christmas I tell you.  

One of the items I received was their Loud Lips lipstick in Toffee Cup (I also received Baby Doll and Tangerine Cream from the Loud Lips collection) which is housed in baby pink boxes with Ashley Isham print for decoration which is also embossed on the sturdy, magnetic silver lipstick casing. I like the magnetic casing as it shuts close in a jiffy and my lipstick feels protected. Despite not being the most delicate packaging wise I find the print extremely pleasing to the eye.

At first I was unsure of the shade in tube form as I thought it looked a little too dark for my skin tone and I thought it was more of a chocolate brown nude. I don't really venture into nude lip territory often, besides my favourite Rimmel Nude Delight, frequently opting for corals and reds instead. However, upon application I found that it was a very flattering milky brown with pink undertones which I think is well suited for fair to medium skin tones.
The shade is very natural and therefore suitable for the workplace and everyday wear, and I particularly love the creamy formula that feels very light on the lips leaving a somewhat sheen finish which is quite moisturising. Wear-ability I would say is only up to two, three hours max. but I do love the pigmentation and milky softness of the Look Beauty range lipsticks and so toffee cup is a very welcome edition to my collection and a great choice for an everyday or nude lip.
