Who loves glitter?

Jazz loves glitter! I do, I  do, I dooooooooooooo.

Here they are! Aren't they lovely! I was just browsing fragrance direct a few nights ago and spotted these little babies, £2.99 for all 4, I couldn't say no! What glitter lover could?

This is the silver, Bare in mind I did layer up these baby's for the sake of the photos! I adoreeeeeeeeee this one its full of holographic bits of glitter which shine all different colours depending on what light/How you turn your hands.

Ahh the red, For some reason this was really hard to photograph but the first one is probably most accurate. It would be so perfect for Christmas over a red nail varnish! Beautifulllllllll.

This is the purple and blue one which I adore! I have no idea what I'm going to use this but I will find a way! I can't help but adore this one!

The dark purple and sliver! I do like this one however I probably wouldn't use this all over my nail and its probably my least faviourt. I just wish I had this when I was doing my graduated nail colours would have looked amazing! (Will post them up later.) 

I also got 2 packs of these and I think there is 25 per pack! All for the bargain bargain price of 99p each! I also brought the kiss 100 set the other day and these all practically the same slightly less coloured, more opaque and a tiny bit more flimsy but they are still great, just don't use the glue! The smell is so strong!

All in all i'm pretty pleased with these and the postage was only £1.99! All i'd say is the nail varnishes do smell abit strong, I had to open a window! And the glue with nails is rubbish but I don't think you would expect anything amazing for 99p! 

Have you guys brought any bargains from fragrance direct yet?

Elf lipstick! In Sociable!

Okay so this is Elf lipstick in sociable. 
What the website says.
'Indulge your lips with long lasting color and shine. The moisture rich formula hydrates, conditions and softens on contact for silky smooth lips.

Directions

Apply to lips and blend in color for total lip saturation. Re-apply as often as desired.

Instantly beautiful, healthy-looking lips designed, formulated and tested by our professional team of makeup artists

Packaging.

So this lipstick comes in a average sized lipstick holder and its very easy to use. Just a twist up. Mine has not broken as yet but i've seen many complaints of them breaking although mine never has and i've have had a few.

Colour.

I love the colour of this lipstick, Its a bright pink with blue undertones although, when I was looking at it the other day it seemed slightly red, which didn't bother me but i thought if people wanted a really bright pink lipstick this wouldn't be right for them. I'll put some photo's below for you too see.

Do you see what I mean? slightly red?
 This is it on my lips! I really love this colour and it goes on perfectly. In fact I didn't realize until I put it on it contained silvery glitter! fabulous and so pretty.
 Here's a close-up. You can really see the colour and the glitter.

Overall.
Overall I really really liked this lipstick the pigmentation isn't bad but it isn't extra amazing either and for only £1.50 can you really go wrong? It isn't as smooth as I would normally like but that because of the glitter it feels slightly sandy on your lips. The colour is very matte and not at all shiny which is fabulous as I like to add my own shine to my lipsticks.  It is moisturizing, and stays on for quite a while I even think it stained my lips after I had taken it off.
In total I think this is a fabulous piece of make-up and well worth the £1.50!
