Beautifinous.

Hi guys! I’m here today with another brand new lipstick range from Avon: the Shine Burst Gloss Stick collection.

I love lip crayons. There is just something about them. I mean, yeah, they are everywhere and I know, it's more about the liquid lipstick right now (which I'm totally with), but the simplicity just keeps you going back.

Whilst today's product isn't a new release, it's still worth having a chat about. The Bourjois Colour Boost Lip Crayon is a glossy finish lipstick in that handy, crayon format. It claims that its melting formula is hydrating and waterproof with an SPF of 15 and it can provide comfort and hydration for up to 10 hours. Nice!

The Lip Crayon's come in a range of 9 shades, including pinks, reds, oranges and nude shades.

The colour I have to show you all today is the shade Proudly Naked, which, as you can probably deduct from the name, is a pinky, nude, "my lips but better" sort of shade.

It comes packaged in a typical lip crayon style with plastic, pen-like packaging with the colour of the outer casing representing the shade of crayon inside.

We all love wearing beautiful colours on our lips, but what really feels good is when we have that multi-tasking product that not only looks great, but feels great too.


The Burt’s Bees Lip Gloss is not only a lovely slick of colour on the lips, but it also contains natural oils that are nutrient rich to leave the lips feeling soft and glossy, naturally.

It comes in 12 shades and promises to provide a high-shine, pearlised finish as well as promoting “healthy looking and beautiful lips”.

Today I have two shades from the collection to share with you: Spring Splendor and Evening Glow, a warm-toned, dark pink and a warm-toned, dark red, respectively. They each also have a gold shimmer throughout.

They come packaged in clear, plastic tubes with a screw cap lid that contains the applicator wand inside it. The lid is black and embossed with a honeycomb pattern. Each gloss contains 6ml of product.

Back In August I wrote about Avon’s newly released 3D Plumping Lipstick range. Well, for those who enjoyed the collection or for those who prefer lip gloss, there is good news! 3D Plumping Lip Glosses are on the way!

Soap & Glory’s Sexy Mother Pucker Pillow Plump XXL lip gloss is a hydrating, ultra-glossy, lip-plumping colour. It contains LIPSWELL natural oil infusion and 3XL-PEPTIDE PLUMP that has been shown in tests to support fat cells, boost the levels of hyaluronic acid and to provide a cushioning lip-plumping effect.

It comes in a range of five shades, including one clear gloss. I picked myself up the shade Cherry Up which is a nice, bold pinky-red with a hint of sparkle.

I understand that lately there is a big thing about plumped up lips (thanks to Kylie Jenner who has even admitted that her lips are the way they are due to injections). However, I don't want the fact that I am reviewing a plumping lip gloss to come across as if I am endorsing a trend in which people are hurting themselves for bigger lips. Whether you have big lips or small lips, you are beautiful and you do not need the latest trend to dictate whether you are or not. Stay safe, kids, and don't be stupid!
