Pleather season

The past few months, I've been seeing pleather/leather clothing everywhere! In my opinion, a full leather piece of clothing can look quite out there, so I thought leather sleeves is the perfect amount for me! 
One of my follower on instragram @eddictive suggested me this site http://www.whatiwear.com/profile/119892 where you can post up your outfits to share to the world and also look at other people's inspiring outfits. So it's really like lookbook but not as pro hahaha


Jacket: ebay
Peter pan collar blouse: cotton on
Black skinny: H&M
Black studded flats: novo

Rimmel Apocalips lip lacquer

Rimmel's Apocalips are finally out in Australia, also known as Show off in America. It retails for $15.95 here, but you can also get it from asos for under $8. Some of the colours that we have in Aus is a bit different to America. 


Top to bottom: Apocaliptic, Nova, Luna, Solstice (asos), Apocaliptic [for my friend]
When you first open the lipstick, the part shown in the photo is actually transparent and as you pull the applicator out, the colour fills that area. I found it pretty cool hahahaha
The applicator has a little hole in it which I found it quite interesting when applying to the lips
but then I think it grabs too much of the product
Apocaliptic: bright hot pink, it even appears as a red on my lips. I still don't have the guts to wear a true red lipstick out yet, so this is a good substitute for me now.
Solstice: Natural mauve colour, and to me it's a 'my lips but better' colour with my skintone
Luna: bright peach colour, better for the summer


Now to the pros and cons

PROS:
  • highly pigmented
  • creamy
  • mositurising 
  •  good colour range (from bright to nude)
  • bright colour stains your lips
  • precise application with the applicator
CONS:
  • easily transfer
  • applicator grabs too much product
Even though it transfer easily, but if you blot it a bit then it's all good :)
