MODELCO LIP LACQUERS #30LipsIn30

I managed to get my hands on two mini ModelCo Lip Lacquers and after a couple days of testing, I'm here to give you my verdict. I've been trying out two shades, Morocco and Viva, which both give a sheer wash of colour. Morocco is a mauvey-nude and Viva is a mid-toned bright-ish pink - they both look quite natural on the lips when worn alone. The lip lacquers have a fruity smell which isn't overpowering but actually quite nice - they smell good enough to eat!

They are surprising long lasting for a gloss but do start to gather on the inner part of the lips which is definitely not my favourite thing for a gloss to do, so you'll need to stay on top of that. They're easy to chuck in the handbag and reapply on the go. I'm not sure if they're quite worth the £15 full size price tag but as a fully fledged neutral girl, I think they'll be staying in my bag for a little longer.

THE MAKEUP TIMER TEST TAG

As soon as I saw this over on Lily Pebbles' blog, I knew I had to do it. The tag involves timing yourself putting on your make-up and I took Lily's advice to not feel rushed and took my time (ha). My time ended up being quite a bit longer than hers. I did however include the time it took to choose a product, and then the time added on when I changed my mind.

I'm a bit of a professional when it comes to fairly natural looks using about a gazillon products. Just the average day in my world of make-up. Here's what I used:

Primer/Foundation: No7 Beautifully Matte Make Up Base / Benefit the Porefessional / Rimmel Match Perfection in Ivory & Soft Beige
Concealer: Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer in 2 / MAC Prolongwear in NC20
Bronzer/Blush: Bourjois Chocolate Bronzer / Sleek Face and Contour Kit in Fair / Rimmel Powder Blush in Santa Rose
Brows/Eyes: Rimmel Brow Pencil in Black/Brown / Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette / Cargo Vintage Escape Palette / Rimmel Lash Accelerator Mascara / Maybelline The Rocket Waterproof Mascara / Rimmel Scandaleyes Kohl Kajal in Black & Brown / No7 Stay Perfect Mascara
Lips: Modelco Lipstick in Get Naked / NARS Pirée Lipgloss

Just a few bits then. Part of me wants to see how quickly I could do a full face of make-up if I tried. Maybe another day. Clearly, I take my eyeshadow blending oh so very seriously. I feel like I should throw in a few disclaimers for certain times but I'll just leave that to your imagination (aren't you lucky?).

Have you tried this tag? I tag you if you haven't done it yet!
