Lock N Hold ... Collection 2000 *Review*

While wandering around Asda the other afternoon in search of milk and supplies for work i stopped off by their beauty aisle and had a nose at what was on offer.

I spied these little lipglosses on the Collection 2000 stand and the funky packaging and bright colours stood out and my eyes locked onto them like a magpie with a shiney coin!

How cute are they!?

Collection 2000 Lock N Hold Lipgloss

I decided on Break Dance and Body Pop as they're exactly the colours I've been searching for (well in the tube anyways!).

Break Dance is a gorgeous coral colour whereas Body Pop is a bright pink (reminds me of Mac's Viva Glam Gaga!)

Break Dance (with flash)

 

Like i said above the packaging is super funky and cute. The tube has a clear bottle which shows off the bright gloss and a hot pink lid. Unlike most lipglosses the packaging is rectangular - pretty cool! The tube is sturdy, however the wand is not. I was a little concerned by how flimsy the wand was and worried it might snap off during the first use :/

The lipgloss was quite sheer upon application and to build up the desired colour i had to use a concealer base on my lips :( not practical for nights out when you need to keep topping up! I do like the colours (both with the base and without) but the gloss has a slight stickiness to it and a weird smell :/ On the tube it boasts 'Up to 6 hour wear' - mine nowhere near lasted 6 hours, I'd say an hour or two max!

All in all i wasn't overly blown away by the Lock N Hold lipglosses but for £2.98 I'm not going to complain too much. Plus the colours are adorable and perfect for summer so I'm going to persevere and hopefully find a way to work these :)

Have you tried any of Lock N Hold lipglosses? What's the best coral lipgloss you've come across?

To line or not to line ...

Hey girls!

Firstly i'd like to apologise for my lack of interesting posts this week - i was unwell on Monday and consequently feeling rather drained for the remainder. I have lots of ideas for posts (lots to review as well!) but i'd like to kick-start my comeback with my recent wonderings.....

I have just started getting in to lipsticks (very late i know!!) In the past i've usually gone for lipglosses as they are easy to wear and dont need much effort but since the release of Mac's Viva Glam Gaga i have gone lipstick crazy and bought around 5 more!

So now i'd like to hear your views - to line or not to line?

Lip-liner.

Who uses it? What are the pro's/cons? Which are the best ones?

Should you use them with every type of lipstick or just with darker colours? Hmmm.

Let me know dolls - i'm super intrigued and need your knowledge!

Thanksssss :)

Dont be a drag, just be a Queen ...

Today was a bad day......

I wasnt going to do a post today as i have been feeling rather 'meh' and didnt want to pollute the nice atmosphere we have going on here in our little community but then i came across these positive images and i'm a total sucker for a #positweet (if you follow me on Twitter you'll notice that i often post at least one positive/inspirational tweet a day - or i try to!)

Tomorrow is Friday which equals weekend :) which equals staying with the bf :) which equals more smiles :)

Keep smiling (normal blogging will resume shortly...)

I want your leather studded kiss in the sand ...

My name's Kirsti and i'm addicted to studs!

I currently obsessed with studded items - i'm instantly drawn to them like a magpie! In my closet you'll find belts, wristbands, watches, bags, jeans, shorts, dresses .... i could go on :)

I find it really difficult to find nice heels for nights out (mainly because i look like Bambi when i attempt to wear them!) and to find a gorgeous studded 'rock chick' pair was becoming like Mission Impossible. Then one afternoon at work my friend showed me her lunchtime haul from Asda and had the cutest pair of little suede boots in her shopping bag and then it hit me! I could totally get a plain pair of boots and stud them up myself :)

So off i trotted to Asda the next day and managed to pick up a pair of these in the sale for just £6!!

I then ordered myself some black studs on ebay and waited impatiently for them to arrive.......... after a week they arrived and i got straight to work and here are the results........

So these little beauts cost me just £8! Bargain or what!?
