blusher and brownies: NYE Sparkly Lipglosses!

Whilst perusing Instagram, I came across a beautiful lip that i wanted to re-create for NYE. I was going for statement eyes so wanted a neutral lip with that little bit extra, this was perfect!

Stunning!

I already had the lipstick i was going to use underneath - MUA £1 Matte Lipstick Totally Nude with my Mac Naked Lip Pencil £12 but i didnt have the sparkly for the top coat!

So, i went shopping! I tried on about 6 different glosses, including a gorgeous one from Bobbi Brown - Bare Sparkle £18 but it wasnt quite right. I then found a stunning one from Lancôme - Color Fever Gloss in sparkling Light £20 but the hefty price tag put me off (for a gloss that i may potentially lose after a few vinos), so i went searching for a dupe. And i found one!

Barry M display in Superdrug

Barry M do an almost identical version of the Lancome one and it is a quarter of the price! Lip Gloss Wand - Strawberries and Cream £4.49 It is slightly less sparkly, but not so much you would notice.
It goes on smooth, smells delicious and isnt that sticky! I purchased from Superdrug, but have put the link direct to Barry M's website above.

Very sparkly!

Smells great

It goes to show that if you do some research and take your time, you can often find a fab dupe and save some money!

Although i didnt end up saving much as i bought this beautiful glitter nail polish as well! It is the Nicole by OPI range, part of the Modern Family Collection. Haley Good Lookin' £7.99 I got mine from Superdrug too pretty and girly not to take it home with me! I will probably layer it with OPI's Mod About You.
