Super Nude Lips for a Pastel Unicorn Princess



Hair: Colour Addict Spray in Hair Chalk in Lilac*
Top: Primark  | Skirt: New Look
Lips: Sleek Eau La La Lip Liner in Lingerie* & Sleek Lip VIP Lipstick in Icon* 




The title of this post is just a bit of fun really, although I would love to be a unicorn princess. I think I would make quite a good pastel princess, and, well, I think my inner spirit animal is definitely a unicorn. 

Sleek are one of the best brands for good quality lipsticks with a reasonable price tag in my opinion. I am all over the nude lipstick look (a little late to the party, but better late than never right?) and I've found three brilliant lip products to create a gorgeous nude lip. 
Sleeks' Goodnight Sweetheart collection includes this gorgeous new lipstick in Icon. It is a gorgeous deep  nude pink. The formulation of the lipstick is half matte, half velvet, and is super pigmented. I've worn this throughout the day and its lasted so well, even after eating and drinking it is still in place without any fading after several hours. 
The lip liner which is perfect to pair with this lippie is the Eau La La Liner in Lingerie. Being a slightly darker pink/brown nude, it matches really well with Icon, as well as the Sleek Lip Crayon in Notorious Nude - a true nude lip product which stays well on the lips and has some great staying power. It is so creamy and even gives a little tingling sensation when first applied to the lips. This is going to be my go-to lip crayon for Autumn/Winter.

Oriflame Lip Impact Crayon


Oriflame
Lip Impact Crayon
in Pink Impact


I don't know about you, but I have tonnes of lip products. Lipsticks, Lip balms, Lip stains... I don't own that many lip crayons, though. I was delighted to begin to use this Oriflame Lip Impact Crayon as it is such a gorgeous colour. I love lip crayons, they are so much more moisturising and long lasting than lip stains in my opinion.

Oriflame is not a brand I was familar with, I had heard a little about them but had never owned any of their products. Oriflame originated from Sweden and was founded in 1967, and is now a very popular international beauty brand. They sell  a wide variety of items, including; make - up, fragrances, skin care, body care, accessories, and hair products.

They sell a variety of lip products, this one being a Lip Crayon. The colour I have is called 'Pink Impact'. The lip crayon glides onto your lips really softly, leaving our lips feeling very moisturised. The colour pay off is fantastic, it is a very pigmented product which I have found to last a good 6 hours with the colour still very vibrant on the lips. The product feels so soft on the lips, which is due to its creamy formula. I haven't found the product to bleed either.
Pink Impact is becoming a new favourite of mine. The colour itself is a vibrant pink and very wearable for any season! It has a nice shine to it too, which I really like.
 I have been checking out a few of their other shades of Lip Crayons and the next on my list is 'Electric Red'!

EDIT: Since writing this blog post, I have had quite a fair few amount of questions from some of you asking how to use the product and if it sharpens. As I haven't yet used it enough to be sharpened, I did a little investigating and this is what I found. Yes, you do need to sharpen this product. As it is quite a chubby lip crayon you may have to find/invest in a large sharpener as a normal sized one just wont do it. The product does look like you twist the end to 'sharpen' or reveal the product when it gets stubbier, but you cant, which is the only thing which is a little dissapointing about the product, as most other lip crayon sticks are twist to use kind of jobs.
