Makeup: Jessica Rabbit

Halloween's nearly here, one of my favourite holidays. This year I wanted to do some Halloween looks for you so first up is a Jessica Rabbit look. I actually went as Jessica Rabbit to a party about 4 years ago, I love the look and thought I'd do it again.

The makeup is quite easy really as she just wears some purple eyeshadow with red lips. Here's the look I created and you can find the products I used at the end of this post.
Unfortunately the dress I used for this look doesn't fit me at the moment so I can't show you it on. All you need though is a red dress (you can find some here, here and here), a pair of red shoes (you can find some here and here) and some purple gloves (you can find some here and here).

Products
Nyx Box Of Eyeshadows in light purple and dark purple

Review: Sleek Blush in Life's A Peach

This is the first Sleek blusher I've bought apart from the one that's included in my Face Form Palette. I saw this in the shop and thought the colour was really lovely. Like the name suggests, the blusher is a peach shade but quite a vibrant peach.
Packaging
The packaging is very plain, just black with Sleek's logo on the top but I quite like it. There's a mirror included in the lid which is quite a decent size so will be handy for on the go.

Application
The blusher looks quite bright in the packaging but when it's applied it comes out more muted and you can build it up for a more intense colour. I used a blusher brush to apply this and it blended out really nicely on my skin.
Result
The blusher has a matte finish on the skin. The wear time is really good as it lasted on my cheeks pretty much the whole day. Although I find blushers stay on my skin quite well anyway.

Price
You can buy this for £4.49 from Superdrug.

Overall
I think this is a really lovely blusher and I'm sure I'll be buying more blushers from Sleek in the future.

What do you think of the Sleek blushers?

Review: Bellapierre Cosmetics Lipstick in Ruby

I've only tried a few products from Bellapierre but they've all been really good. In a recent Glossybox I received a Bellapierre lipstick in the shade Ruby which is a gorgeous bright red.
Packaging
The packaging is quite sleek with some criss-cross detailing on two sides of the tube. The lid clicks into place very securely so it won't be falling off.
Application
I applied this to my lips straight from the tube and it went on really smoothly. The product is quite opaque and only needs one coat to cover the lips. Normally I'd apply this with a brush so I can get a much crisper line which I think you need with bright colours like this.
Finish
Sometimes I find it difficult to tell the finish of some lipsticks but I'd say this one has a bit of a sheen finish to it as it's not completely matte. The wear time is pretty good as it lasted at least 5-6 hours without needing to be re-applied.
Price
You can buy this directly from the Bellapierre site for £20 but you can actually get it for just £9.50 at Lookfantastic.

Overall
I'm really impressed with this lipstick and I love the colour so I'm planning to wear it a lot this fall.

Have you tried any lipsticks from Bellapierre?
