Another Matte Lipstick

SHOP THE POST:

So I was ordering some Christmas presents online and came across NYX being stocked on Selfridges. Naturally after a quick swatch Google and the justification of "I deserve a Christmas present too" I ended up picking a few shades of the NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream's - Cannes, Morroco and Stockholm.

I was immediately drawn to Stockholm which is a pretty natural but quite light pink shade. I've been opting for brown nudes a lot recently leaving behind my peachy pink roots none the less this lipstick wowed me on first application and I've barely worn anything else on my lips since. I've tried the NYX Soft Matte Lip before but I didnt love the colour. the formula is really lovely and so forgiving on chapped lips like my own. The kind of lip product you can easily apply without needed a mirror. It's non drying, creamy and unlike a lot of the matte lip formulations out there. At £5.50 they are a budget friendly alternative to higher end liquid lipsticks, without any of the dryness. Big thumbs up from me.

Christmas shopping with Fossil: Mulled wine, cake pops and oh so many Chic Geeks moments

Well, what can I say? If you missed the event I hosted with Fossil on Oxford Street, well, you missed it! Hey, I realize you guys are global. So no hard feelings, ok? For those of you that did stop by, thanks for joining us for Photo Booth magic complete with mulled wine and cake pops. The Chic Geek and I were oh so pleased to have you with us for an evening of Christmas shopping- and did you ever deliver on the challenges...

I had people shopping for everything from best friends to work colleagues, and not a single soul left without the problem solved. You have to remember, folks, I used to have a job in retail. There's nothing I love more than Christmas shopping for others. I have an agenda - to help!

If you are at a loss for ideas this Christmas season, pop into your local Fossil shop as there really is a little something for everyone on your Christmas list. It's not just about watches anymore, people. This is a one stop shop for everything from leather goods to jewellery.
