Violent Lips & MakeupBee Collaboration: Part 2

Well...What a turnaround! After the last post I did using Violent Lips, I'll be honest, I wasn't in a rush to do my next one! To tell the truth I was dreading it! But, to my surprise this time they worked like a dream. They applied really easily, didn't rip on application like the last set, and with minimal cutting, fit the lips really well. I don't know if this is down to this particular design, or if I just found it a little easier as it was my second time round...I'm really not sure. I don't feel like I did anything particularly different, but this time they worked really really well.

For my second look I used the 'The Rainbow' lips on my gorgeous friend Hannah. Here's the look...

If anyone can pull off these babies it's Hannah! They definitely suit her personality!

We really put these to the test this time too. Hannah wore them all afternoon so I could get a good idea of how long they would last...

What with all the laughing, they did start to crack a little, but to be fair it wasn't much. They weren't as sticky as the last set either...the Mumm-Ra effect didn't happen until much later in the day, even after drinking much Hot Chocolate. Some of the inner lip did start to dissolve away towards the end, and a little of the outer lip line began to peel, but this time I was really impressed with how clean the overall effect was, and how well they stood up to our rigorous testing haha. Hannah loved them too and said she would definitely wear them to a party or for Halloween. All in all this is what we thought...

YAY!! If I had to have one little moan about this set it would be that I thought the colours would be a little brighter, but hey ho. All in all if the rest of the sets are like this then I would defo use them again and would happily pay the $15 it costs for a set of three. If you'd like to try them for yourself just pop over to Violent Lips and check them out.

I'm really glad I got to try these out, and would just like to thank Violent Lips and Tiomi at MakeupBee for letting me be a part of this collaboration :)

Violent Lips & MakeupBee Collaboration: Part 1

So a few weeks ago I was asked by the lovely Tiomi of Makeupbee if I'd like to take part in a collaboration with Violent Lips...

...And of course I said YES!! For those of you who don't know, Violent Lips create temporary lip tattoos, and have some amazing designs. I'd been seeing them around for a while and was really interested to try them out, so thought this would be the perfect opportunity. For the collaboration I got to choose two designs then I had to create a look for each. I chose The Pink Polka and The Rainbow.

So today I'm bringing you the The Pink Polka modeled on my very beautiful friend Lyndsey...

Doesn't she look amazing!! All purdy in pink...

Love the colour and the polka dot design...

Incidently Lyndsey is also wearing Lash In The City Velour Lashes for this look too.

I think the lip tattoos are really cute and fun, and they look great...

...But I'm affraid that's all I liked about them! I was so disappointed, I really wanted to love these. I can't tell you how excited I was to receive them, but when I came to use them they just weren't doing it for me! I found them really hard to use and I had to cut them down soooo much. They ripped really easily and creased quite badly and I had to do a lot of doctoring with a lip liner. And within about 30 minutes Lyndsey looked like Mumm-Ra from the Thundercats cos her lips had stuck together!

That said, they did make for a very entertaining afternoon...although I'm not so sure if Lyndsey would agree after having to peel the lip tattoos off of her teeth haha.

I dont know, maybe I just need a bit more practice, and not one to shy away from intricate things, I wont give up!! In theory these Lip Tattoos are great. They look amazing, they're really fun and they have loads of great designs, but for the time being I'm just not sure whether or not they're my cup of tea? Stayed tuned for part two, who knows maybe I'll change my mind??
