A Hidden Gem

I come today bearing the news that I have found a hidden gem at my local pharmacy, one that I have overlooked and feel like others may have as well for the same reasons. With Rimmel's Kate Moss collaboration and their Moisture Renew lipsticks, the others that are usually at the bottom of the stand definitely didn't pique my interest. That was until they were on sale for $4, which in Australia is a big deal. The lipstick in question is Rimmel's Lasting Finish lipstick in 'Asia', which is a creamy mauve toned pink (surprise, surprise) that has a sheen to it.

Mauve Addiction

As a reformed blush-phobe I have never really had the chance to get into the deeper, mauve-toned blushes you see making their circulation every time winter rolls around - until this year. When the Max Factor Creme Puff blushes launched here in Australia, the stalls seemed to be forever cleared of them, which was no surprise to me as they seem to be everywhere in the blogging world lately, but I finally managed to get my hands on 'Lavish Mauve', the shade I'd been hunting for.

Your Lips But Better: Mauvey-Toned Pinks

The classic "Your Lips But Better" shade seems to be the colour we all gravitate towards when it comes to lip products. I find myself picking up so many of these slightly-mauve pinks that it's kind of a problem. In a way it's illogical - why would you want a shade that looks like you're wearing nothing let alone twenty? I guess it's the same as taking away the flush from your cheeks to only add blusher, but I'm definitely not complaining.

Featured above are three of my favourite products when it comes to achieving the YLBB look. Rimmel's Exaggerate lipliner in "063 -Eastend Snob", Kate Moss for Rimmel lipstick in "103" and the Maybelline Color Elixir in "Mauve Mystique." Coincidentally, these three actually work beautifully together, but standalone they are all equally as great depending on what look you're going for.

What is your favourite YLBB colour?
