Loving The Orange

As you can see by this post that I am really loving the orange trend at the moment. My first hook was the Orange Nails as seen on Stephanie Pratt, Vanessa Hudgens and Olivia Palermo above. My two favourite orange nail varnishes of the moment are the Kiko nail lacquer in 235 and Missguided in 09. The Missguided one I think I got free from a magazine possibly Glamour or Cosmopolitan (as they are really the only ones I buy). The colour is a block colour and has no shimmer at all, it is bold and bright - everything you need for a summer polish. Whereas the Kiko nail lacquer I brought from the Kiko store in Westfield at Stratford, it is the shop which has millions of different shades of nail varnishes. Mine was £2.50 which is a bargain as it is a great polish which is long lasting. This one has a gold shimmer through the orange which makes the colour softer and looks great with a summer tan.

                       

I think this is possibly my favourite make-up trend that I have clung to in ages. I literally adore my orange lipsticks and I feel that I have the two perfect shades for myself. My Revlon Lip Butter in Tutti Frutti (left picture) is a great subtle shade whereas my GOSH Flirty Orange is really bright and 'in your face' type of colour. Most days at the moment I am sporting either of these colours, I just need the sun to come back out because this colour looks beautiful with a tan. 

Has anyone else jumped on the Orange Fever?

This is my first everyday make up post, but when I say everyday I obviously don't mean I smoother my face with all of this on days when i'm bumming about the house or going to the gym. It is my staple 'face' look. It has been pretty much the same for about a month, I tend to go through phases of using liquid eyeliner and a kohl pencil. Also the orange lip look has been a new trend of mine for the last couple of weeks since I have brought this lip butter - it is my favourite and gives the best colour that I could find on the market. 

No.7 Vital Brights Lipsticks

Left is Blooming Pink and Right is Blossoming Pink

Blossoming Pink

Blooming Pink (with a bit of a lazy eye)

These No.7 Vital Brights Lipsticks are GREAT, a million times better than any of the lipsticks that No.7 have brought out. When I first saw them in Boots, my friend Meg convinced me to pick the Blossoming Pink shade out of the two. I only had one No.7 Voucher so I had to pick one, on the plus it brought my price down from £10 to £5. Bargain! Then when I went to get the Blooming Pink, it was sold out and I only found it up in Putney after uni one day. 

Blossoming Pink, is my new everyday lipstick and the Blooming Pink is a girly girl pink. These lipsticks are as pigmented as the look as a stick. They smooth on and nourish the lips and feel as though they have an essence of almost being like a lip balm. I keep pulling funny fish faces to smell the lipsticks as it is vanilla, and it's lush even if I do look silly doing it. 

Has anyone tried the new No.7 Vital brights collection? I think I might check out the blushers next.
