Well here we are LOCKDOWN! I hope you’re all doi Well here we are LOCKDOWN! I hope you’re all doing ok?
I’ve been thinking about what I’m going to do over this time period and how to get the most out of it.
Being the final 6 months of my PhD, I will have to start writing my thesis now instead of later but to break that time up with more fun things (not that science isn’t fun 🙄). I’m thinking baking, play the piano and experimenting with makeup! It doesn’t matter that no one is going to see my makeup or hear me play, I’m doing it for me but at the same time I’m not going to force myself to do to anything I don’t feel like or feel pressured to learn something new or start something big just because we have this time. 
I think it’s important to take a break and reset without anything or anyone sucking your energy. Only do things that you really want to and help you feel better now and for the future when this is over.
What are your plans for lockdown?

Your face is the canvas and the fact you can take any colour/finish/texture and create something that completely reflects your personality and mood is amazing and yes maybe it also fuels my need to have so many pretty palettes!! The @jackieaina @anastasiabeverlyhills eyeshadow palette is incredible! The colours are soooooo pigmented but still really wearable. It’s like a work of art itself.

Who else loves earrings?! I really need to wear th Who else loves earrings?! I really need to wear them more often because 1. Jabbing them through the piercing that has been empty for months is no fun and games 😂 and 2. They just elevate your look to the next level!! Seriously, whether they’re long, studs, gold, sparkly, colourful, patterned, they make me feel so put together. 2020 is my year for accessorising!
Gifted| Back to work and I’m really not here for Gifted| Back to work and I’m really not here for it! What I am here for is these natural Wispies eyelashes from @ardellbeauty. I do love false lashes but because I don’t have a lot of lid space, I find they always look heavy and unnatural on me so I give up and they get shoved in a drawer. That’s why I was dubious at first with these but the second I put them on, I fell in love. The natural style adds volume to my lashes without looking heavy and really do pass as being my own, even in person!! They’re easy to put on as the band is nice and flexible and stay put throughout the day. These are my lashes for sure! Have you tried Ardell lashes before?

Jouer Long-Wear Lip Creme Liquid Lipstick Praline and Brique
April 23, 2017 Skin Care

Jouer Liquid Lipstick Love

I am still having a huge love affair with liquid lipsticks. I honestly don’t know what I did before they existed. Most likely I was reapplying my lipstick every five minutes and have it end up all round my mouth after every meal. Ain’t nobody got time for that!

When it comes to liquid lipsticks there are three things I look for:

  1. Long-lasting
  2. Doesn’t dry my lips out
  3. Pigmentation

I’ve tried many different brands of liquid lipsticks but one name on everyones lips is Jouer.

Jouer have the most amazing range of lipsticks, including every colour under the sun and a range of finishes from a classic matte to a mesmerising metallic. When I first went on the Cult Beauty website to treat myself to a couple new Jouer lippies, I was like a kid in a sweet shop. Well actually I was an adult in a makeup shop and that is far more exciting! After having to stop myself going crazy and adding lipstick after lipstick to my shopping cart, I eventually settled on Long-Wear Lip Creme Liquid Lipsticks in Praline and Brique.

Jouer Long-Wear Lip Creme Liquid Lipstick Praline and Brique

All Jouer liquid lipsticks claim to be weightless and offer full coverage that lasts all day. All my needs in one sentence. They also contain vitamin e to help condition your lips, are free from parabens and are not tested on animals. Nice one Jouer! The applicators are a traditional doe-foot, and the wand is just the right length to allow full control when applied. The square design and handle is ever so slightly awkward to hold but not to the extent it affects application, and it’s nice to see a more unique lipstick tube. They also have a subtle vanilla sweet scent, making Praline in particular smell good enough to eat!

First up is Brique. This lipstick is part of Jouer’s fall collection, and even though it was brought out in Autumn it is such a gorgeous colour, I would wear it any day of the year. It is a warm brick red with a matte finish, and it’s possibly my favourite red out of my entire lipstick collection. It glides on like a dream, with full even coverage after only one thin layer. You can barely feel it on your lips and it dries in a matter of minutes if not one, to leave that perfect statement red lip. In terms of longevity, when I wore it for the first time it lasted all day, and only needed a small touch up in the centre of my lips after scoffing a whole pizza. It is definitely one of the least drying liquid lipsticks I have tried, and only after wearing this for 8 hours straight did I started to feel my lips lacked moisture.

Next is Praline, which is described as a metallic cool bronzed pink and that’s exactly what it is. The finish is beautiful. Definitely metallic but not so over the top you feel like you might blind someone with your pout. This one applies even better than Brique (probably because of the creamier finish), and it is featherlight. Again this shade is definitely a statement colour, but I would encourage everyone to give it a go even if it’s not a shade you would usually choose as it is so beautiful I can see it complementing a range of skin tones. Just like Brique, it lasted all day and was extremely comfortable to wear.

Each Jouer Long-Wear Lip Creme Liquid Lipstick is £15, which is pretty standard for a high-end lipstick these days, and I think the quality definitely lives up to the price. So much so I am already wanting to add more to my collection.

Any recommendations?

      Thank you! Jouer is pretty new to me too, and these are the only items I own, although the whole Jouer makeup range is so lovely it’s now on my wish list! I’m so impressed with the consistency and quality of these lippies and I love praline. Usually, I’d feel too self-conscious wearing such a statement lip colour, but I think it’s just the right balance between metallic and pretty pink that I’d wear this anywhere. xx
