28 Days of Kisses - Day 15 (My Bday) = Rouge D'Armani Sheer Lipstick in Brown

Seeing as it's my birthday today I thought I'd go for a luxurious lipstick and Rouge D'Armani Sheer lipstick in Brown ticked all the right boxes with me. This is definitely one of the more pricier products in my collection. I know they retail for around the €30 but it's true what that say you really do pay for the quality. The sleek black packaging is so luxurious with the signature Giorgio Armani design in silver around the bullet, I love taking this out of my makeup bag. When you replace the lid it snaps with a magnetic click which I love hearing the sound of, right assured this won't open in your bag anytime soon.

This lipstick is amazing and one of my current favourites for February. 202 brown is a subtle pinky brown colour, that extremely wearable. On my lips it's more on the pink side of things and will go perfectly with any makeup look, a definite 'my lips but better' shade.It's applies beautifully to the lips and doesn't get stuck in any fine lines. I'm already planning out my next Giorgio Armani lipstick purchase, I'm definitely going to go for another lipstick from their sheer range. Now all I need to do is pick the shade which may be a difficult task. I'm off to start my birthday celebrations,the boy and I are going on a bit of a Dart trip but I don't know where to yet. Don't worry I'll bring my camera with me and show you all what I get up to for the day.

What do you think of Giorgio Armani lipsticks? What's your favourite shade?

28 Days of Kisses - Day 10 = Catrice Sheer Lip Colour in Soulful

It's just another miserable and dull day in Dublin. When will this rain ever end? I can't wait til the weather gets better and the sun is shining. I think it makes everyone much happier. Like many other Irish rugby supporters, I'll be watching the Ireland v England game. I always watch these matches with my Dad as we are both really into rugby. I would of loved to be at the game today but the tickets are really like gold dust and almost impossible to get. I just seen on Twitter that Ireland Rugby captain Brian O'Driscoll and Threesome star Amy Huberman welcomed a baby girl this morning. How cute!! Big congratulations to the both of them.

I'm rocking an inexpensive lipstick from Catrice called Soulful on my lips today. I love this brand, their products are amazing and so affordable. Great for students like myself! They bring out gorgeous limited edition collection that I instantly fall in love with. This isn't a bad thing as most of their products are under the €5 which is a steal. The lipstick I have on today is from their SpectaculArt collection which came out recently. I picked up two shades (Soulful and Revel the Red) from the range. Both are very wearable but Soulful is my favourite! On the lips it comes up a beautiful sheer plum colour which would be perfect for everyday. I've been really pleased with this Catrice lipstick, I'll have to pick up some more soon. They don't have the best staying power in the world but for the price I can't really complain. I know this brand is impossible to find in the UK. I'm not too sure why that is to be honest. It has been so popular over here so maybe they might branch out this year who knows. On my eyes in the photo above I'm using the new Essence 3D eyeshadows that I mentioned in one of my previous 28 Kisses posts. I've been loving these eyeshadows, they are so pigmented and such a handy size for my makeup bag too. I'd definitely recommed picking up some of the neutral duos, they're seriously great. I think they were around €3 so they won't break the bank either.

What's your favourite budget brand?
