Review: Barry M Lip Paints: Part 2, Vicious Violet

The second lip paint that grabbed me was a seriously raunchy deep pink/purple shade called Vicious Violet. This was again part of the Ultra Moisturising range.

It's not very easy to tell from the picture but this actually has tiny pieces of bright pink shimmer running through it which just looks gorgeous. Out of all my colours this is the one that I was the most excited about trying. Just as with Flamingo Peach, Vicious Violet applied really smoothly and evenly. The colour is super pigmented but it came out quite a bit more pink than what I was expecting from the bullet.

I am seriously impressed with this colour and I feel like I'm going to get a lot of use out of it. I also feel that it made my teeth look whiter, but I think I may have just been blinded by the colour. It's definitely a great Autumn/Winter lip shade. It also made me feel super vampy!

Will you be picking up Vicious Violet any time soon?

Plus Size Slouchy Knits

A/W Slouchy Knits

One of the biggest trends for A/W 2012 is gorgeous, cosy, slouchy knits. Jumpers and sweaters are every where this season and it can be hard to find items like these in plus sizes that aren't totally drab and swamping. The key is finding something that will help you stand out from the crowd as well as keeping you warm and snuggly. That old brown cable knit isn't going to cut it this season! (I'm looking at you Evans. Tut tut.)
I've compiled a few of my choices below (I'm so sorry for my poor editing but I'm working on it!) that would all look gorgeous with some skinny jeans or thick leggings. Team with some knee length boots or chunky wedges to show off your curves.

From Top, Clockwise, Inspire Cream Owl Print Sweater, New Look, £14.99, Inspire Purple Cross Contrast Stitch Jumper, New Look £24.99, Soft Panda Motif Sequin Jumper, Yours Clothing £30 (coming soon), Metallic Star Jumper, Fashion World, £40, Dogtooth Jumper, Fashion World, £35, Inspire Grey Skull Knit Jumper, New Look, £24.99.

One of the great things about this trend is that it is so easy to wear and that it can straddle two trends at the same time! Berry colours, Animals (that's animals, not animal prints!), Gothic and Heritage are all represented here. Stay on the front line of fashion by combining trends this way. Yours Clothing have some fantastic stretchy bright coloured skinny jeans that would look great with these jumpers. A rich raspberry jean with the skull print jumper would look great.
