Miss Sporty Bright Red Perfect Color Lipstick Shade 058 Malaga

Miss Sporty Bright Red Perfect Color Lipstick Shade 058 Malaga

It has been pretty long since I did a lipstick review.. I believe the last one was the Tom Ford Violet Fatale which is another favourite of mine. I got this lipstick when shopping with Nicole from Nicole's Beauty, I think it was like £3 which is a great price.

I've only ever tried Miss Sport years ago, and it was a nail polish, but I was really drawn to this shade. There was a point when I was looking for exactly this shade for really long- but never found the perfect one.

So what do I think of this lipstick?

  • Pigmentation- Great, as you can see. 
  • Staying power- I'd say is better than average, but not amazing. Definitely lasts a good 4-5 hours, even when eating. 
  • Price- Well I personally think £3 for such a pigmented lipstick.
  • Smell- It smells amazing, of watermelon! Which is super random as it doesn't say anything about that.



What do you think of this lipstick? 
& have you tried this or anything else from this brand?

Long time no see outfit posts! This is a few weeks back to be honest when it was sunny in London. Didn't get around to posting it until now because I was busy moving and working!



I just realised everything I am wearing here is from New Look, omg. That's a bit weird. Okay I like New Look's summer clothes.

What do you think of this outfit & what's your favourite summer look? :)

It has definitely been long since I last wrote an interior related post. In the beginning when I first started my blog, I have definitely blogged about my love for fragranced candles a few times. But then candles just got really hyped in the blogger community with those Yankee candles, and I am not one to jump on a hype! Anyway, here are my current candles.

Kiko Dark Pink Nail Polish

This is a nail polish that I first showed in an INGLOT nail polish haul. I never really got around to using this nail polish, probably because I already had one pretty similar shade already. 


However, I wore it last week (yes week!), and it lasted chip free for 3 days plus. This never happens to me. I think it was a mix between good staying power, the top coat I used and me applying a layer of top coat every day!


It was really hard to catch this shade on picture, it is more of a cool shade rather than warm. Either it's definitely a new favourite as I was able to enjoy a prrfect mani for almost a whole working week :)

Also, this week I am starting to blog properly again with one post scheduled for every day of the week!

What do you think of this shade, and have you tried KIKO nail polishes?

Very Random Recent Favourites, Perfume, Lipstick, Hair Products, Skin Care & Makeup

Very Random Recent Favourites, Perfume, Lipstick, Hair Products, Skin Care & Makeup


1. Miss Sporty Perfect Colours Lipstick, shade 058 Malaga- I actually haven't had this for long, nor tried it more than once but I am really impressed with it. The shade is a very bright red, orangy shade and I just felt like it stayed on for so long. Well I stayed on for a whole work day without re applying (bare in mind that is through 3 cups of hot chocolate, 3 cups of tea, countless cups of water, 2 rounds of snacking and one lunch). And the fact that it was a bit under £3 I think makes it even better. Oh, and it smells of melon, so much that I can smell it when wearing it, yummy!

2. DHC Mascara Perfect Pro Double Protection Mascara (*)- You might or might not have seen my review on this mascara here. Definitely check it out to see how long my lashes are when wearing this! I really really love it and I think I might have to purchase it when it finishes.

3. Earthnicity Powder Mineral Foundation, shade Warm Caramel (*)- I have previously mentioned this in a post about my (then) new Earthnicity products here. As I mentioned there, I had never tried a powder foundation before but I'd been wanting to. It definitely exceeded my expectations and despite me being a non- foundation wearer prior to trying this out- I've been wearing it every day since I got it. I will definitely purchase this when it runs out. 

4, Beautiful Textures Moisture Butter Whipped Curl Creme- This is a hair product I bought fairly recently because I am forever searching for the perfect leave in conditioner/moisturiser. It was only £3.49 which I think it is great for 226 grams (god knows why they couldn't just put that in ml), but you can see that it is a big jar. It smells amazing and contains a lot of oils and butters like Olive Oil, Argan Oil, Coconut Oil and Shea Butter. It does contain silicones but no mineral oil or parabens.

5. Rihanna Nude, Perfume- Ever since Rihanna first released her perfume Rebl Fleur, which is the same kind of bottle but in gold/black colours- I've been wanting it. But stingy is I am I never got it. So I got this (well I chose it) as a birthday present from my lovely Granny, and I love it! i used so much that it is already finished though.

6. Boots, Witch Hazel Gel- A gel consisting of witch hazel, glycerin an alcohol. Super cheap and great for treating unclear skin! This only cost £1.99 and I don't think a lot of people know about it. Great alternative to expensive "blemish sticks" and all of these Witch hazel products.

7. Make up Store, Pink Powder Brush- I randomly got this in Sweden, super expensive at (£20), at first I sort of felt likeI had wasted my money. But to be fair I didn't have a chance to use it properly as I didn't even had any powder or powder foundation. That was until I got the chance to try the amazing Earthnicity Mineral Foundation (number 3 above). Now I absolutely love them both!


Have you tried any of these?

A Curly and Shimmer Fotd

A Curly and Shimmer Fotd




Here is a FOTD (I am not going to lie, this was a while ago). I started wearing winged eye liner quite a lot about a month ago, and this is what it looked like. I used my favourite from 2True- it stays on all day and is so affordable. My blusher and highlighter is fromt he Sleek Face Form (see here). My hair was like 11-12 post relaxer (it is now 13) and I was wearing my recent favourite- flat twist out (see here).







Have you done a FOTD or makeup looks post recently? Feel free to link it? :)


What do you think of this look?
