One of the problems of being a makeup junkie

Hello my Lovlies!

I have a small confession - I am a huge makeup junkie - and theres nothing that makes me as mad as expensive makeup that has nasty packaging. The number of times I've bought products or brands purely because of their products.  Chanel is my personal favorite as it looks just as sleek and new after 6 months just by giving the packaging a once over with a makeup wipe.  On the other hand, you have NARS - I love their products, but man I can't stand the rubber packaging which gets so dirty.

So here's where the extent of my snobbery can be seen - with YSL. I love their sleek look perspex plastic and gold lids with their trademark label.  Unfortunately though, after a few months of rough and tumble in my makeup bag they can end up looking like the one on the right!  And I can't bare it.  It's kills my soul.  And it means I purchase new ones!

The nasty chipped gold lid looks so cheap even though it was 75% full! I felt like I was forced to buy a new one just so it had that beautiful new feel again.  There's no point having a beautiful YSL lipgloss if it ends up looking like like the one one on the right... I mean come on!

Are you girls with me on this one, or am I completely unreasonable!?!?!  I mean it's still 3/4 full but I can't stand its nasty appearance!  

Oh dear - I need a life. But hopefully you makeup junkies understand!

Get the wow factor with YSL Golden Fuscia Lipgloss

Hello my beauties, 

Ever wanted to have that WOW factor with your makeup???

There's no better way to perk up your makeup than with a completely over the top coloured lipgloss.  And what better than a lipgloss with REAL gold in it my friends!

My all time favorite, and probably the only lipgloss I repurchase, is YSL's Golden Fuscia lipgloss 04.  It's a florescent pink and is bound to get you noticed.  And as I mentioned before, this range of lipglosses all contain 0.2% of 24 carat gold.  Only gold could give your lips such an unbeatable wow factor!

Yeah, I know, mine looks battered and bruised, but that's because its always loose in my handbag, ready for any occasion when I want to go for that golden wow factor.

When it's brand new, the YSL packaging on their shimmering gloss is to die for. Sleek perspex rectangular bottle with a gold lid.  I love the brush applicator form this YSL range - beating all the other brands out there. It glides onto your lips with precision, which I feel you can't get with those squeezy plastic tube glosses out there....Lancome juicy tubes spring to mind.

So, to summarize, if you want a stunning gloss, you can't go wrong with YSLs golden shimmer lipgloss, complete with real gold. Their selection of colours is to die for, so go and have a look (see here) and find one that will make you feel completely gorgeous!
