Suzie Q Reviews: Sephora Cream Lip Satin


Hey Ladies,

So since the whole scandal with Lime Crime earlier this year (google it!) I have really wanted to try more lip products that are similar to my beloved LC Velvetine in Red Velvet but I am not willing to take the risk with a dodgy company. Instead I started on a quest to find something similar, my first stop was Sephora to try the much talked about Cream Lip Satins. I picked up two shades when I was in Copenhagen and you might have already seen them in my haul video back in February! I picked up the shades 03 Strawberry Kissed and 06 Pink Souffle. Strawberry kissed is a vibrant matte pinky red colour which stands out against my pale skin and Pink Souffle is a gorgeous matte dusky pink which I have worn with my favourite MAC lip pencil Soap and they are stunning together - Kylie Jenner eat your heart out!

Texture wise I am honestly surprised at how good these are. For Sephora own brand I was a little bit snobby and thought they were going to be rubbish but they honestly are phenomenal. They go on with a glossy finish but then dry down to a comfortable matte finish. They are super duper long lasting and hold up really well if you happen to be eating or drinking. I also find with most matte lipsticks that they leave your lips in a haggard state for about a week, oh no not these babies! All in all they are bloody brilliant. I honestly can't remember how much I paid for these as I paid in Danish Krone (most confusing currency) but they wouldn't have been much. I can honestly say I won't be tempted to order from Lime Crime again and instead I will be counting down the days until I get to Sephora again!

Have you got any liquid lipsticks that you would recommend? OR would you purchase from Lime Crime regardless of all the scandal? Let me know in the comments or hit me up on Twitter @WhatsNewSuzieQ.

Marc Jacobs Deliciousness!

Hey Ladies,

Back in September when I was in New York I picked up this nail polish from the new Marc Jacobs beauty range and I have been dying to share it with you all since but I didn't have the words to describe how infatuated I am.


Each shade in the collection is inspired by Marc's favourites movies. Marc and I must be on the same page as the color I went for is "110 Gatsby" which is a ridiculously shimmery rose gold. This little gem is described as an "enamoured high shine nail lacquer" and gives fantastic pigmentation, so only one coat is needed for an opaque finish. I have noticed though if you want to do a second coat you will need to let the first coat dry completely before you layer. The polish is very quick drying so if you are like me and have the patience of a 5 year old it won't smudge.




I find the chipping is very minimal depending on how much you use your hands so if you work in a hands on environment obviously it is not going to last as long, but my favourite aspect of this polish? It's a doddle to remove so no hassle unlike some glitter polishes.

Unfortunately for us Irish beauty lovers this product is only available in the US (specifically Sephora) at the moment but comes in at a very reasonable price of $18 so if you know anyone heading over to the US, do your research and get them to pick you up one or two. Or better yet head over yourself, any excuse for a holiday!


Am I just a magpie or is that not the most majestic nail polish you have ever seen? Just me then?

Love,
S
