As soon as I saw the swatches and shades of the Revlon Colourburst Matte Balms popping up on blogs, I knew I needed them. Matte lipsticks are my favourite as I think they make it much easier to pull off brighter hues, and the new shades Revlon were set to release looked great. Since Boots are currently offering 3 for 2, it seemed only polite to pick up three shades... right?

It's coming to that time of year where office christmas parties are being planned, outfits decided on, tables booked etc. But the issue that's bugging me... How am I going to turn my work appropriate make-up into something a little festive and fun, in about five minutes flat?
