FOTD: Orange Lava

Sleek Makeup's Pout Paint in "Lava"

Orange lips are all the rage this summer but I've been avoiding trying them out because I don't have a wish to look like Ronald McDonald. However, having seen plenty of dark-skinned ladies rocking this look lately, I thought "what the heck?" I rummaged in my makeup case and found Sleek's Pout Paint in "Lava". These Pout Paints are supposedly similar to the ones by OCC and it went on smoothly with the tiniest amount needed.

The finish wasn't as matte as I'd have liked but it's extremely long-lasting and there's very little fading even after eating and drinking. However, make sure your lips are properly exfoliated before using this as it WILL highlight every bit of dry skin, flakiness on your lips.

Foundation: Studio Fix Fluid in NW45 (MAC)

Concealer: Studio Finish concealer in NW45 (MAC), Select Cover-Up in NW40 (MAC)

Powder: Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in "Deep Dark" (MAC) 

Blush: "Taj Mahal" (NARS)

Lips

Pout Paint in "Lava" (Sleek)
Lipliner pencil in "Forever Red" (LA Colors)

I paired the Pout Paint with NARS' "Taj Mahal" blush and lashings of mascara. I can't even remember the last time I went out without eyeliner but I think it worked. This look took all of 10 minutes (I shocked myself) and it's a nice, no-fuss Summer look.

Sleek Pout Paints are extremely affordable and I think I picked mine up in a deal in Superdrug last year for £5. They can be purchased here.

Have you tried Sleek Pout Paints before? Let me know.

NOTD: Barry M Berry Ice Cream

Barry M's "Berry Ice-Cream with LA Colors' "Jewel Tone"

Like many people, I love wearing bright colours on my nails in the summer and Barry M's "Berry Ice-Cream" is one of my favourites. I decided to jazz it up a little by adding LA Colors glitter polish in "Jewel Tone". It dries really quickly and it doesn't need loads of coats so I"m a fan.

What my nails look like in natural light. (Ignore my tips, I singed them on a hot plate :-\ )

I definitely recommend both colours and they are extremely affordable. Barry M can be found in both Superdrug and Boots, whilst LA Colors can be found in Beauty Base in Westfield shopping centres.
