Revlon Super Lustrous Lip gloss in "Pink Pop" a wish list item which didn't disappoint!

I've wanted this Lip gloss for a while as I've seen it on so many blogs but just hadn't gotten round to buying it for a while. The colour is just a gorgeous pink - it reminds me of a colour my room used to be painted called "sexy pink" it's just so pretty and the pigmentation is really good too so I wasn't disappointed. 
As you can see, although the colour is slightly sheer (not completely opaque) there is actually colour to it and it's also the colour presented in the tube which I really like because I'm often disappointed after buying lip glosses in numerous gorgeous colours only to find that they're actually so sheer that no colour is present.
Like most lip glosses it's hydrating and the packaging and doe foot applicator is just standard however it's the colour which really stands out for me.
It's so lovely and adds a lovely pop of colour without much effort at all!

Sleek Pout Polish "Pink Cadillac" a new favourite!

Now, anyone who knows me knows that I am a lover of pink lips and lip balm however when the two come together I am often disappointed due to lack of moisture or pigmentation. Sleek have managed to create a tinted lip conditioner which not only hydrates the lips and has a really good level of pigmentation but it also tastes amazing and all for £4.29!
In regards to the packaging (as you all know I'm a sucker for it) it's quite simple - by no means the prettiest but it doesn't pick up dirt or fingerprints so I'm extremely happy with it!
In the pot the colour looks extremely scary and bright however as you can see from the swatch it's actually a really pretty pink. It's not completely opaque but it does add a reasonable amount of colour to the lips which I've found is actually quite long lasting! Although the glossy finish doesn't last long - mostly because I keep licking it off, 'cause it tastes lovely - even when dried out the product still leaves a pretty tint (I almost want to say flush but I'm not sure that's the right word) to the lips.
I'm really impressed with the product and will definitely purchase other colours because this is something which can just be thrown into your bag and applied on the go. I have a feeling that I'll be using this quite a lot!

Estee Lauder Pure Colour Gloss Stick. Lovely product, not the best of colour choice on my part!

Now before I start I have to say, I love the actual product - it's extremely hydrating perfect for me as I tend to have quite dry lips - however I bought this of the internet (colour 09 Pink Sorbet) and didn't bother to look at swatches so I hardly ever use this purely because although it's pretty it's not a colour I reach for often soooo the moral of the story is look at swatches before buying online because it makes me a little sad that this product is not getting the lovin' it deserves!
Now, the packaging is quite pretty but the gold lid is very scratched (I've had it for a while) so if you want to keep it in perfect condition I'd advise not just dumping it with the rest of your make up 'cause mine is looking a little scruffy.
It's scrubbed up pretty well in the photos though so hopefully you can see how it's quite pretty in a grown-up kind of way :)
You can see how glossy it is in the swatch (and it is a pretty colour, do not be deceived by my fussiness I just don't reach for it like I do my others) it also has some shimmer - I do like this because I can't normally wear shimmery lipsticks they tend to make me look a little diseased this however is extremely glossy and hydrating so I approve of the formula! 
It's basically just a pigmented gloss in lipstick form, I do recommend it for people who tend to have dryer lips as I find it very hydrating - I think I might invest another gloss stick in a more suitable colour!
RRP: £18
