Autumn/Winter 2014 Dark Lipsticks ♥

I have tried so many different dark lipsticks over the last couple of years, some are pinky/red and some are deep plum, it's so hard to find the perfect shade. I have picked my four favourites to show you. I hope this helps you find your perfect dark lipstick for this Autumn and Winter.
MUA Luxe Velvet Lip Laquer - £3
This is by far my favourite dark lipstick. It has a matte/velvet effect which looks great with minimal makeup on my eyes. Every time I have worn it on a night out I have had lots of compliments on it. The colour is beautiful.
Revlon 477 Black Cherry - £7.49
This is a redish/pink lipstick. It has a nice colour but I expected it to be darker than it is. It lasts about 1/2 hours without needing to reapply.
Collection Gothic Glam "scorned" - £2.99
This lipstick is great for the price, it lasts quite a while and the colour pay off is brilliant. It also leaves my lips feeling soft and not dried out like other lipsticks I have tried in the past.
Topshop "depth" - £8
I love the deep colour of this lipstick, it has a beautiful soft velvety finish which looks great with matte makeup. It lasts most of the day on my lips and it leaves them feeling moisturised.

The Craft by Lou Teasdale ♥

The Craft by Lou Teasdale - £6.89 Amazon

How awesome is this book?! I originally saw it on Zoe London's blog a while ago, I loved the look of it so I just had to buy it. It is so different but yet so me (& it had a sticker page at the back so.. win win situation). I only really bought it for the cool pictures, makeup looks and hairstyles, not really for the tutorials. The whole layout of the book is very blogger-esque, the photography is interesting and the pages have a colourful scrapbook theme to them. It has a very different approach to beauty, it is all about grungy/punk makeup and hair looks, nothing too prim and proper. I have been reaching for this for some hair and makeup inspo, just by looking through the pictures it has, I always find something I like. The book itself looks pretty and colourful sitting out on my dressing table, so all round I love it!

I hope you like the look of it too and for only £6.89 what's not to love?!

Models Own Velvet Goth Polishes ♥

Models Own Velvet Goth - Purple 'Amethyst', Black 'Obsidain' £5 each

I thought I would share my current favourite nail polishes with you all, I have been loving wearing these two polishes over the past couple of months. They last about 4/5 days without any chips and they have such a lovely soft velvety finish. The purple shade has got to be my favourite, it is so vibrant and the sparkles through it are a lovely pinky/purple colour. The black shade matches everything I wear and it looks great with the velvet finish. The bottles these polishes come in are so cool, I love the velvet lids, nice touch!
Have you tried any of the polishes in the Models Own Velvet Goth range?
