Howdy!
I think I mentioned before that I recently bought myself the MUA velvet lip laquer in 'Reckless' and how obsessed with it I am.
Recently I've been into wearing a dark lip with every kind of eye look I do. I've had quite a few compliments when I've worn this particular lip combo so I thought I'd share it!
I've been using the Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick in 'Starry Eyed' first. Just because that color is what gives me the vampy red as opposed to a bright red, like the laquer. The reason I put the laquer on top is just because it's matte and I find that means it makes the lipstick last longer.. that could just be me, I'm not sure.
As you can see, the Rimmel lipstick is much more glossy than the MUA one but that's a given - the MUA one is matte. They don't look like much here individually but trust me - together they are amazing!

The other day I went out shopping with some friends (Including Sally who's beauty blog is great. *hint hint*) and I wore the combo then. As you can see I wore quite a neutral eye. I think I used half baked and buck from the naked palette. Doing that meant more emphasis on the lips. I found that the products lasted ages on my lips, I only had to touch-up once and that was just because we went to KFC (i got too excited there, the lipstick went everywhere!).
From this picture you can see that the two of them together create a much darker lip that the swatches individually.
Just for comparison, here is a picture from the other night when I was wearing just the MUA laquer on it's own:

I have been loving this lip combo and I'm sure I'll continue to love it until something else comes along. I hope that's not too soon.... I'm not over this one yet!
Thankyou for reading!
