Boot's: Natural Collection Lip Liners

Lip Liner




I'm always on the hunt for a good lip liner and these three from Boot's Natural Collection have been keeping me going over the last few weeks. I had clocked up a decent stock of No7 vouchers and was browsing the shelves to see what products I should redeem a voucher against when I saw the three for £5 offer on a selection of Natural Collection product. A quick swatch of Ruby Rose and I was left impressed by both the colour pay-off and creamy texture these liners produced. Their £1.99 price makes them super affordable and excellent value for money considering the superb quality produced.

Although Espresso is a nice brown colour I’m still on the look out for a liner that will beat my NYX's Espresso.

 What lip liners do you use and why? Any suggestions will be warmly received.

Quick Swatch Series: LA Colours Lip Liner - Forever Red

LA Colours Forever Red
LA Colours Forever Red Lipliner
I'm a fan of the lipliners LA Colours. Sold at 99p in the UK, they are a cheap but effective alternative to other liners on the market. 


Forever Red has fast become a firm favourite of mine, I usually use it with my red lipsticks but recently have started to use it by itself as a stain and matt lip colour.



As usual, this shot has been taken without any makeup on.

Have you any favourite lipliners that are good enough to be worn alone?

NYX Lip Liners



NYX is an American brand that I have fallen in love with as the quality of the products cannot be denied, nor their affordability. Regular watchers of You Tube will no doubt have heard about this brand and lusted after the products on screen. For those of us in the UK, NYX has tried to make some in-roads to establishing a much needed presence by setting up an on-line store. For those of us who like to have a product in their hand before committing to buy, I have been fortunate enough to come across these products in a few TK Maxx Stores and know that River Island has the glitter shadows in flagship stores.

I find that I am afforded more 'bang for my pound' by ordering online and so recently I placed an order with an eBay seller for six NYX Lip Liners. This seller has been supplied me with the main bulk of my NYX supplies and delivered within the week from the US, woo hoo *fist pump in the air*.

Now I should say that around a year ago I ordered through Cherry Culture three long Lip Liners and was left very happy with the quality of product; the staying power, creamy texture and longevity of the liners had definitely left an impression. The Liners are very pigmented and so are great for someone like me (two-tone lips) to use as a base for any lip colour I intend to use. So I decided to conduct a bit of research and choose some colours I thought I might like. I have swatched the shades I purchased as I know that I searched extensively for images to try to get a sense of the liner's colour.

MAC's Lady Danger

You see, I have a confession.....I'm a little occ when it comes to make-up.
On Friday I visited the MAC store in Westfield (White City) and over heard four women talking about 'Lady Danger'. Lady Danger, Lady Danger, Lady Danger la la la is all I heard. Being the keen shopper that I am (read nosey) I had a quick look when they eventually left the stand and hunted down this tube and upon first swatch I was a bit confused as it was a bit, well bright. Whilst I'm no shrinking violet I kinda don't want to be arrested by Joan Rivers et al for crimes against red lips so I left the store. Ever since then I have been on a quest to find this shade and try and work it so that it's suitable for my NW50 skin.

Now I find myself throwing out a plea to the beauty blogger worlds, 'what say you all on this shade?'

 Have you any ideas on how I can rock this shade????

 ANY help on this matter is appreciated as I can see me heading to a pro store and picking it up -soon.

Please do not suggest Ruby Woo as I can't stand her and am not sold on Russian Red. To complicate matters further I have two-tone lips and so need a liner that I can use to colour my lips in as I'm not really a fan of using foundation on my lips.


Help me...........
