Review: Shanghai Suzy Lipsticks

Shanghai Suzy Lipsticks | Purchased: Here

Hello and welcome to my review of a few Shanghai Suzy lipsticks I recently picked up. I'm extremely excited to share these with you as I think they're absolutely wonderful and I highly recommend them. I got 3 colours, Fuchsia, Watermelon and Fire Engine Red which are all matte finishes.

 

Miss Sanja is described as a Fuchsia shade, it's not as bright as I expected but this colour is beautiful and unlike any pink I have, it's more of a pinky-purple and I really enjoy it.

Miss Sally is described as Watermelon and I think it could be my favourite of the 3, it's a coral based pink and it's another shade I don't have anything like in my collection.

Miss Claire is described as a Fire Engine Red and I wore this all day yesterday and got a compliment about it! It's an orange based red and applies smoothly just like the other 2 shades.


I've worn these the last few days in a row and they haven't dried out my lips and have lasted quite long, I haven't used a lip liner and I didn't have too much issue with any feathering or smudging either. You can apply them sheer or a couple swipes will give you full, opaque colour and they apply super smoothly! They're so cheap ($12.95) and they smell exactly like grape hubba bubba which is just a delicious bonus. I love that the packaging has both the name on the bottom and the colour of the shade on top so it's easy to pick out when it's stored. I literally do not have one complaint about these except that I don't have more!

Which shade did you like best or would you like to try?

Also, I just wanted to quickly add a nice shout out to Veronica who runs the website where I bought these lipsticks from (veganbeauty.com.au) I've ordered two packages from her now and each time there has been a handwritten, personalised message which I think is such a lovely touch and it's very appreciated, I definitely recommend checking out what other vegan makeup goodies she has to offer!

And as always, thank you for reading! XO

Sunday Love - Sukin Natural Deodorant

  Sukin Natural Deodorant | Purchased: Priceline

Hello and welcome to my sunday love, each week I'm going to aim to post a little review on one product I've absolutely been loving throughout the week (or longer!) I hope you've all had a wonderful week and you're sitting down relaxing while reading this.

I decided I couldn't start off this little "series" without beginning with this product. Let's begin with a little story beforehand, after going vegan, I tried a range of different deodorants and just haven't been ever been that impressed with them and my body likes to do this neat trick where it decides it will start randomly having a reaction to a certain product. Over two months ago, my body performed it's trick with a deodorant I was using and it hasn't stopped since, I've had (tmi) a horrible, itchy red mess underneath my left arm and nothing I did ever helped. Changing deodorants, not using deodorant, whatever! I tried 3 to 4 different deodorants and my under arm either remained the same (itchy) or even worse in some cases.

On a whim, I picked this up from Priceline thinking it might help at least cool down my underarms as it was a spray not a roll on and I didn't have any high hopes for it to begin with but after the first use, I was entirely impressed. Like all Sukin products I've tried, it smells absolutely delicious! I spray two or three pumps on my under arms and it seriously works. I work long days in childcare, I still smell wonderful afterwards AND it has helped clear up the reaction underneath my arm. It contains no aluminium, no parabens and no harsh ingredients.

Sukin is an Australian owned and made brand with completely vegan and affordable products found at Priceline or other health stores and I just could not be happier with this deodorant and this brand in general. I highly recommend checking this out especially if you have sensitive skin.

And as always, thank you for reading! XO
