I'm still totally wishing it was summer, going to work in the dark and leaving the gym in the dark makes me want to hibernate, not to mention having to finally say good bye to my summer clothes and shoes, anyway there's no escaping the fact that the festive season is very much upon us.

Urban Decay 'The Mother Lode' is a real luxury item, but if your an Urban Decay fan or know someone who is then they would love this I'm sure. The Mother Lode is exclusive to Debenhams and retails at an almighty £445, ouch, but they do say you get what you pay for.

Lime Crime Candyfuture Lipstick

"Colour is not a crime, it's a way of life"

Lime Crime Cosmetics are like no other, the must have brand for girls who are not afraid to experiment with the brightest and boldest shades. Highly pigmented shades and an ever expanding collection mean that your imagination is your only limitation!

In just 4 short years Lime Crime has become a highly respected brand, and has graced the faces of some of the biggest stars, no surprise Katy Perry and Nicki Minaj to name but a few.

PETA approved, vegan friendly and cruelty free, always, Lime Crime is a brand you can always trust and be safe in the knowledge your cosmetics are animal friendly.

I have a few Lime Crime posts to share with you, and this first one is all things lippy, I have swatched 2* of the opaque lipsticks from their Candyfuture Collection.....

which offers shades in 10 funky and very bright colours, you wont be going unnoticed wearing any of these!

I adore the lilac unicorn packaging, you know at first glance that this is Lime Crime, and the bold packaging really represents the brand.

Retrofuturist A gorgeous berry red shade, as good as it looks alone you could layer on some lipgloss to add a hint of shimmer and shine to give it more depth. I think this will be a really nice winter colour, especially against pale skin and neutral eye make up. £11.50 direct from Cocktail Cosmetics.

Glamour 101 A very bold & sexy red hue. This one looks so bright and out there but actually on the lips it's stunning.
I wouldn't layer any lipgloss over this one personally as I love the deep letterbox red.
It's  a known fact that red lippie will make your teeth look whiter too, bonus!

Of the 2 shades I love the Glamour 101 and as I am trying to be a lot braver with colour this year I will be wearing this one a lot, next on my list is the beautiful Geradium shade, a barbie esque pink (definitely a Miss Minaj)
