Current Favorites




Today I'm going to give you a run through of all the things I've been loving lately...

Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation has been my latest every day foundation... It's a really nice consistency, lasts well and doesn't seem to oxidise on the skin during the day. I press it into my skin with a damp RT Miracle Complexion Sponge, and it looks great. I like that it doesn't cover up my freckles but it helps to even out my blotchy face. To the best of my knowledge, it's currently on offer in Boots for €9.99.

I've been all about my Rose Gold Mini Wallet that I bought for Amsterdam last month. It's really dinky, but it holds all my cards, as well as having a coin pouch inside. I originally bought it because it was small and that seemed ideal for travel, to save space in my bag, and the plan was to go back to my large Parfois purse when I got home but I'm still obsessed with it! I'm pretty sure it's still in store for €3.

Beauty Kitchen Chill Me Wonder Balm has been a favorite for months now, and I use it to keep my stretched lobes moisturised and healthy. I have used it to stretch, to heal and to maintain and I'm absolutely in love with it. It contains shea butter, cocoa butter, rosemary oil, olive oil, lavender oil and geranium oil, to name but a few! It smells incredible and my ears feel so lovely because of it. You can get it HERE

Can we all take a minute to appreciate how great Penneys PS False Nails are?! I've been obsessed with them lately. They're great quality, last incredibly and they are cheap as chips! I tend to just buy a nude color and paint them to suit, which helps them look a bit more real in my opinion. There's a tonne of options, shapes and finishes and they are all €1.50


Finally, I'm going to give epic snaps to my beloved Hema Longer Lasting Lipstick in 05 and my Penneys PS Lipliner. This is literally my new favorite lip combo, they go perfectly together. The Hema lipstick set me back €3.50 in Amsterdam, and the lip liner was €1.50 in Penneys. Together, they last really well through eating and drinking and they look great with pale skin.

So there you have it, my most recent favorites. Anyone who follows me on Twitter will probably have seen me wax lyrical about these products in some form or other in the past while. 

What are your recent favorites?

Crazy Factory Mini Haul

Since I've started seriously modifying myself (stretched ears, multiple piercings) I've been using Crazy Factory to pick up a lot of my jewelry, though to be fair, I have been wearing tunnels and nothing more until now, since I was trying to get to my goal size. 



So I went on Crazy Factory last week and picked up a few little bits, and I'm going to show you them today! There will be clickable links to all the items, so if you want them, you can find them easily! This post isn't sponsored or supplied by Crazy Factory, I just really like them, they're very affordable and they do great stuff! 




First, I picked up some plain steel single flare tunnels in 10mm (00g) with black O-rings. They were €1.39 each, and obviously I needed two, so the total was €2.78. You can find them HERE 




Then I picked up a silver septum clicker with clear stones, the bar that goes through the piercing s 1.2mm and the jewelry is 7mm in diameter, for a nice snug fit on my tiny hobbit nose. I have the exact same style of clicker in blackline with peridot stones and I love it, but I wanted something that would go with everything. I only ordered one, but they sent me two, so I don't know what to do with the spare. If you have your septum pierced and you want the extra one, tweet me @redlips_redhair and I'll send it to you! You can find it HERE for €4.49, and there are a bunch of stone color options to choose from! 




Finally, I picked up the coolest plugs I've ever seen, glass spirals! I got them in a turquoise color, because I'm a creature of habit and I'm very aware of the colors that suit my skintone and hair. The cool thing about these plugs is that you have to order one for the left and one for the right, since they're made to sit a certain way in your ear. Find the LEFT HERE and the RIGHT HERE. Each one was €4.99 and there are four colors to choose from! 

So that's my little mini haul from Crazy Factory, I am a huge fan of this store, it's super reasonable price-wise, the shipping isn't extortionate (over a certain price is free, actually!!) and it arrives super quick. You can also earn Crazy Cash points on your purchases to redeem against orders.
