Katy Perry Killer Queen

I've never been a fan of celebrity endorsed products but this really caught my eye, the TV advertisement was perfection and instantly made me wanting to smell this perfume.  A few days later I saw the ad campaign in store and I got to smell the perfume, I loved it as soon as I smelled it but was unsure if it would be long lasting.

Killer Queen box

A few weeks after the campaign I received a sample vial of Killer Queen in my Glossybox. I put the perfume on the next day and I got so many compliments and I didn't have to re-spray during the day, I could even smell the perfume on my coat the next day and in my books that it amazing.

Killer Queen bottle

I received the 50 ml perfume as a gift for Christmas and I have used it every day since.  The bottle is shaped as a jewel with KP gold crest on the top. I am in love with the bottle but a bottle like this needs a stand, this beauty should be on show not stuck in the box.

For the price I'm very impressed, I have now changed my mind on celebrity endorsed perfume and beauty products.  I 100% recommend this product and I will certainly be repurchasing when needed.

MAC Retro Matte Lipstick Ruby Woo

Today I will be reviewing one of the bestselling lipsticks from MAC, Ruby Woo £15.00. Every woman should have at least one red lipstick in there makeup collection and this has to be one of my personal favourites.  It is the perfect retro red with a matte finish, the blue undertones help make discoloured teeth look whiter, which is a bonus in my eyes. 

Ruby Woo

Ruby Woo is perfect for all seasons and looks good on most skin tones.  They are many positive aspects of this lipstick but perfection does not exist (sadly).  I personally find the lipstick extremely drying, which also tugs on your lips while applying.

Pros
• Perfect for any season.
• Matte finish.
• Highly pigmented.
• Long lasting.
• Does not transfer.
• Leaves a nice red tint after fading.

• Perfect for most skin tones.

• Makes discolored teeth look whiter

Cons
• Can be drying.
• The lipstick tends to tug your lips while applying.
• Availability might be a problem

Before applying any matte lipstick I make sure my lips are exfoliated and moisturise to reduce the dryness.  Ruby Woo also looks best when paired with Cherry lipliner also from MAC.
