Primark Lip Stain

If you regularly read my blog you will remember my post on this dress, my mammy had been a lovely wee mammy and bought me a few things throughout the day. Today's post will be a quick one of another of these gifts.

I picked this up on the way to the till, you know all those little semi circles filled with goodies on your way to the till? Well I saw this, and I haven't tried any lip stains yet, thought I'd give it a go. At only £1.50 it was a bargain!

After coming home that day I looked up some reviews and was apprehensive as they all said this stain lived up to it's name! One even said it didn't come off for 3 days! I very carefully applied it on friday afternoon for catching up with some friends, I added a touch of lip balm over the top as I found the stain really dried my lips out. This catch up then turned into a nearly all night party (I still made it to the jobcentre the next again day of course, as I am superwoman!) 

During the night though I noticed the stain had all but come off. So it stains until alcohol and smoking are factored in! I really liked the colour it did give though, my mum thought it might have been a bit harsh for me as I am so pale but I thought it clashed well. I'll try it again with different outfits, I was wearing the yellow dress, and see if mother was correct. She usually is!

I really like that the pen is like a felt tip pen, but I'm going to have to store it upside down to see if it helps as I've noticed, after only one use and the swatch below that the nib is really drying out. 

Sorry I'm not a better photographer! This picture is doing the stain no favours, it's brighter looking at it now but you still get the general idea for the colour.

Have you tried Primark Lip Stains? What did you think?

Florals for a fiver

How gorgeous is this dress?! I've never really worn much yellow, never thought it suited me but as soon as I tried it on, I fell in love with it!

From the picture the dress looks like a really mellow yellow, sunny kind of colour but in reality it's more of a lemon yellow. Very bright! Looking at pictures online, it seems to be showing up mellow is pretty much all the pictures. I love the skinny purple belt that comes with the dress, I usually choose to wear a broad belt as I am a tad self concious of my weight/size but with this dress, the skinny goes great!

Correct me if I'm wrong (and I know I probably will be) but it's a pleated skater dress/ sun dress. It has a lining under that is about an inch or two shorter than the actual dress and the dress is made of polyester.

I know I'm chancing it by getting such a summery dress but I just couldn't resist it! I love that it covers my chest but I still have a bit of decollage on show. As my mother just said, you don't always have to have the box office on display. Love my mammy so I do! Unfortunately due to the size of my chest and probably my hips too, I had to buy a size 20.

The length is great as well. In between my hips and my knees. I'm wearing it with leggings just now but if I was feeling brave I could go with nothing underneath it. I wont be that brave for a while though!

The dress is from Primark and it was in the sale so it only cost a fiver! Chuffed with that, thanks mammy!

Have you bought anything in the sales yet?
