Dinner at the Ivy Chelsea Garden


Last week I went to dinner at the Ivy Chelsea Garden. The outside decorated for Wimbledon with beautiful purple flowers, tennis rackets and tennis balls. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. I thought that I would share my photos of the dinner. Enjoy!

Kylie Cosmetics - Exposed Review



Recently I decided to jump on the bandwagon and buy a Kylie Cosmetics Lip Kit. I had been thinking about buying one for a while as I absolutely love liquid lipsticks at the moment, I am obsessed with wearing MAC Retro Matte Liquid Lip Colour in the shade  Lady Be Good, which i a lovely pinky nude which I normally pair with MAC Spice Lip Pencil. When picking a shade that I would get a lot of wear out of I was not sure what to for as I don't really wear pinks or bright reds and the metallic shades look beautiful but I'm not sure when I would wear them. I knew Kylie releases new shades all the time so I decided to wait till I found a shade I liked. About 8 weeks ago Kylie announced her new shade that would be added to the collection - Exposed. It looked like the perfect nude! A shade I would wear all the time! So I decided to buy it when it came out but I was too late and it was already sold out. I few weeks later my friend said she was doing an order so she ordered Exposed for me. I could not tell you the shipping process but I thought Lily Pebbles' video on the her experience of buying the Kylie Cosmetics Lip Kits was really useful when I was doing my own research. 'Kylie Lip Kit Review & First Impressions'.

I received my Lip Kit on Thursday and I was going to The Ivy Chelsea Garden on Friday for dinner (blog post to follow on Friday) so I thought it was the perfect opportunity to test its staying power whilst out for dinner. I was pleasantly surprised how well it lasted. I thought the liquid lipstick dried quicker than my MAC  liquid lip colour. The lip liner went on smoothly however when I applied the lip stick on top I thought that you could not be so neat when applying the liquid to the outline of your lips. After applying the lip kit, it dried quickly and I noticed slight cracking but noting too major that anyone else would notice. I have read mixed reviews, with people divided on the lip kits being too dry. I didn't find it drying at all. It was very comfortable and lasted the night. It has some serious staying power! For once my lipstick wasn't half gone! I can see this becoming my new favourite. 

Have you bought anything from Kylie Cosmetics? If so, what do you think of it? I know there has been a massive restock the weekend, so go checkout what's in stock if you want any of the lip kits/ glosses or metallics.
