It was a particularly warm night when I was going to meet a few high school friends for dinner and drinks, so I went for a very glowy, summery look. 

This Rimmel radiance primer and foundation duo are my fave- omg. So creamy and glowy but long lasting and not sweaty looking. AND SO CHEAP! 

Sometimes I add the concealer from the same range and you really get a power of three moment. 

To keep the dewiness going, I use my Luma lip and cheek tint. I’m still get to find the perfect way to apply this, but I find a stippling brush works pretty well. This is quite pigmented and a little does go a long way, just FYI. And once it’s on your face, I find it hard to blend out. Just handle with care. 

Went for a very light dust of my Elf bronzer. 

And I used my Llivia Beaute highlight in Chai, agh it’s so freaking beautiful. 

I used my Colourpop peach palette on my eyes, just a mix of two mattes and a topper of shimmer for an easy and simple eye look. 

Rimmel pencil and MCo Beauty more brows for my brows. 

Used L’Oreal Bambi Eyes mascara- it’s nice but I don’t get the bambi effect. It’s a pretty regular shaped brush to me. 

I used my Flower beauty setting spray- even though it claims to be matte, and I had a glowy base… yolo. 

I feel like I’m rushing through this so much, but guys I have a dupe alert! 

Because I had an orange eye look, I was trying to find a nude lip to match. 

I put on the Flower Beauty lipstick in ‘Spiced Petal.’ This has claims to be a dupe for Charlotte Tilbury lippie (‘Pillow Talk’). Personally, I’ve not tried the CT one. But in terms of the Flower one… The colour is nice but I find the actual formula sooo drying. It’s really unpleasant. I know other people who say it’s nice and creamy but I just don’t have that same experience. 

I’m actually to declutter it, I dislike it so much. 

That’s ok though, because I think I’ve found a dupe for Flower. 

I put on this Colourpop Lux lipstick in the shade ‘Ariel’ and was shocked at just how similar the two colours were. 

The CP formula was so much creamier and nicer to wear. It didn’t last particularly well, but the comfort factor is what wins for me. 

I am so happy to have discovered this.

Although, I don’t think I would repurchase this CP one just because I don’t often gravitate to the colour- I like something a bit more on the pink side rather than as nudey brown as this.

In the daylight, the Flower one appears more pink- but on my lips (and remember everyone is different!) they were much more similar.

What do you think of these swatches? 

Have you tried either of these lip colours yourself? I’d love to know your thoughts!
