This lipstick is probably my favourite lipstick that I've come across so far. The Hiro Lipstick in shade #04 Bam from Love Lula, is perfect for both morning and evening wear. Whether it's a casual outing or a night in town, this shade goes with everything. I find the lipstick very moisturising, because of this, it lasts a long time without having to reapply all the time. I'm really looking forward to trying out other shades that Hiro have to offer!

I've been searching for a darker shade of lipstick for a while now. When I came across this Ere Perez Olive Oil Lipstick in Royal from Love Lula, I fell in love immediately. The lipstick itself is perfectly packaged, giving it a great outer look. I find the lipstick applies very smoothly, which is great if you want to build up the shade into a darker look. I also love that the shade actually matches its online swatches in real life. It also removes very easily, leaving no stains on my lips which is a bouns. Overall, this lipstick is a great addition to my make-up collection!

Emani uses only all-natural ingredients to create natural beauty.

I've never been one for lipsticks and have always stuck to a clear lip balm due to not finding the correct shade for me. I ended up coming across Emani, which is a brand that I hadn't heard of before now. LoveLula.com have a good variety of Emani lipsticks and I ended up going for their Prismatic Duo-Tone Lip Colour in shade Bewitched. I've been searching for this sort of shade for a few months now and I'm glad to say this is the perfect shade for me. The lipstick is easy to apply and I love that you can wear the colours separately or blend them together for a softer shade. I was a little worried that the lipstick would stain my lips like some darker shades do, but I find it easy to remove with a little make-up remover. It stays on well throughout the day and needs minimal replication.
