#Caturday

It's that time again! Saturday is here so we all know what that means right? CAT'S! So here are my few favourite beauty and fashion products this week which I have found relating to cats, as well as some pictures of actual cats. Enjoy! But before we begin, here's my old cat Tom hi-fiving my other half. I found this picure out a while ago and it still makes me laugh way too much. 



Right, down to business...



The first thing I have found is this beautiful cat ring curtousy of allthecutestcats.com who do fantastic feline related jewellery. It's available in gold and silver, but I do prefer the gold one, looks really pretty. The detail is also adorable and, to top it all off, it's only £3! Now, I think that's a bargain! Click HERE to buy this product!



Next up, a brand I've recently fallen in love with called killstar. This top is gorgeous! It's extremely different to many tops I've seen this week which have been feline-themed and it definitely stands out. Click HERE to buy this product!




Cat chu wink has the most adorable cases for their make-up. Look at the lipstick cases these guys sell. Little black cats! I love love LOVE these! The colours in the lipstick range are beautiful, ranging from a nice soft pink to a vibrant red, suitable for any look. 



Lastly, another t-shirt from lowbrowartcompany. How can this top get any more awesome? Not only do we have cats included, but also in the style of KISS? I personally think this is a fantastic idea and extremely appealing to me. Click HERE to buy this product!



Now to actual cats. This is my aunties cat. His name is Scampi and he's a pure ragdoll and the most beautiful cat I've seen...ever! Those pure blue trademark ragdoll eyes look divine!

What's your favourite cat themed item? Let me know below in the comments!

Medusa's Make-up Lipstick (Red Square)

Price: $12
Item: Lipstick
Colour: Red Square
Where to buy: http://www.medusasmakeup.com/

What it claims: This bright and beautiful lipstick is a Luxurious Blend of Natural Waxes Color Rich Pigment, Creamy, Soft and Nourishing. The ingredients do not include any animal by products making. This a vegan lipstick






Pro's
  • Smells really fruity
  • Completely vegan
  • Really soft on the lips
  • Beautiful packaging

Con's
  • Not as pigmented as I thought to believe
  • Feels a little oily

Okay, before we get into the con's of this product, how adorable is the packaging? There's a rose on top of the lid which looks so pretty and the box it comes in has a sword on one side and a torso and head of a woman on the other all in negative colours. Inside the box is a very bright pink with the colour and name of the product situated on the top of the packaging. By far, this packaging is the best I've seen in regards to any lipstick. It's beautiful. 

The lipstick itself smells really fruity and I can not place the smell, but it's sort of orangey, but either way, the smell of fruit is gorgeous. It's very soft on the lips but you do have to apply it a few times to get a brighter red. It feels a little oily but not as much as the miss sporty red I have reviewed before. It's not very pigmented which is a little let down but if you apply it a few times it does come out much better.

Would I recommend: Yes! I love the product. I think for the price (in the US - it's very expensive for it to be shipped from the US as it cost me just over £13) it's very good at $12 which is around £7 for everyone in the UK. The consistency of the lipstick is very good besides the fact it is slightly oily. Pigmentation is a little bit of a problem as its not too bright but I would still defiantly recommend buying this product. I hope to try their eye-shadows and other lipsticks in the future.

Miss Sporty Perfect Colour Lipstick 055 Dream


Price: £2.59
(This product is no longer sold)

My experience: I applied this onto my lips and straight away, it felt really greasy and just not pleasant. Any mistakes I made took a while to remove as it stained around my lips a little. After blotting off the excess, and having a quick drink, half of it just came off. After re-applying and blotting again, I noticed it lasted for around half an hour before needing to be re-applied. 








Pro's
  • Lovely bright colour
  • Cost effective


Con's
  • Not long lasting
  • Feels a little greasy on the lips
  • Easy to smudge


Would I recommend: I wouldn't really recommend this product. There are higher quality lip sticks on the market that feel much better than this one, however the colour is very nice. I decided this sits better on my lips if I use a little and then use a lip balm on top of it, rather that just the lipstick.
