Laura Mercier Luxurious Crème Smooth Lip Colour in Fresh Raspberry: Juicy NEW shade for Spring 2013

Laura Mercier Luxurious Crème Smooth Lip Colour in Fresh Raspberry, £20.50, new for Spring 2013

As you may or may not know, I'm a big fan of Laura Mercier products. I love the understated yet undoubtedly quality packaging, and the products themselves never fail to deliver. The brand new Fresh Raspberry shade of their Crème Smooth Lip Colour range is simply divine, it's fruity and fresh without being crass.

This lippy feels lovely and soft on the lips, and doesn't end up travelling across your face after a few glasses of bubbly. It ticks all my boxes: gorgeous eye-catching colour, moisturising, with stay-put-ability. Well worthy of the most fabulous of clutches.

Rimmel London Apocalips Lip Lacquer: Review

Rimmel London Apocalips Lip Lacquer, £5.99, available from Boots

Rimmel London's latest lipwear range, Apocalips, has hit the high street! With eight different shades available, I tried out my six favourites... 

I absolutely love this new range of liquid lippy. Priced at only £5.99, the opaque colours with a high gloss finish are standing strong against YSL Glossy Stains, priced at £22.50. 

The packaging is really trendy, and there's a statement colour for everyone. I love 'Nude Eclipse' for a seriously sophisticated finish, while 'Stellar' has a gorgeous coral candy pop (I'm tipping this shade to be a big hit for 2013). 'Big Bang' is a deep glossy red, fabulous and fierce. I was less keen on the softer pink shades, but each to their own... Let me know which shade is your favourite for 2013 by commenting on this blog post.

For a high street range, I was really satisfied with the quality of this lip wear.  They were really moisturising (which can often be a downfall of cheaper products) and sat nicely on the lip. Some slight bleeding did occur, but this could be quashed with a quick line of lip pencil.  

How to apply: Apply one layer, blot, then re-apply for a longer lasting finish
