LOLA Makeup by Perse

I love trying out new beauty brands and finding something new, LOLA makeup are pretty new to the beauty scene and create professional and cruelty-free products. Their packaging is nice and sleek looking and nothing over the top which I personally do really like. I've been trying out a few bits from them over the past few weeks and I thought I would share with you my overall thoughts on the products I've tried so far.

Ultra High Shine Gloss - 006 - £5.95*
I've got to admit when I opened the box to the Ultra High Shine Gloss, I didn't think that I was going to like it because I'm not overly keen on bright pink shades as I feel as if they're too much for my paper-pale skin. But because it's a lip gloss it's a little more sheer and doesn't give out the full pop of colour it shows so it is actually a nice everyday kind of shade, it is slightly sticky as expected because it's a gloss but it's not super sticky like some glosses, it also smells like sweets which I like. I think it's a shame that they don't have names because I think makeup products are more inviting to buy when they have cute names. But overall I would definitely pick up a few other shades from the range as they are affordable and also comfortable to wear.

Satin Eyeshadow - 010 - £7.50*
Again, I wish these products had names because I'm a sucker for a cute name. But the LOLA Satin Eyeshadow in 010 is a pretty, shimmery pink which gives a nice wash of colour for the lids. It's a nice eyeshadow for everyday wear and I've been wearing it with a medium brown Benecos eyeshadow (which I've forgotten the name of, oops). I probably wouldn't pick up another single eyeshadow from LOLA because I don't really buy single eyeshadows anymore as I know I can pick up a palette of 12-16 shades from Makeup Revolution for less than £10 nowadays which obviously works out cheaper.

French Manicure Nail Polish - 003 Innocent Pink - £6.95*
I personally like quite thick nail polishes and this is quite watery even after shaking it up to try and thicken it up unfortunately. The colour is really pretty though and a great shade for Spring but I'm not sure if I would pick up another as I have nail polishes from other brands which are cheaper and work better for my personal preference. But I think it depends on what kind of nail polish you like.

Tinted Lip Balm - 001 Cream - £5.95*
In most people's eyes a lip balm is a lip balm but I find that some just don't work for me. I have to stay away from Vaseline based lip balms (like Glossier's Balm Dot Com) as I find that they give me micro blackheads around my lips, ew. So this was a pleasant find because it works perfectly for me and it really helps to keep my lip well nourished and soft. It's a great balm to use underneath lipsticks too. It's actually my current fave lip balm and it's always in my bag.
