MAC Review and Haul

Hi guys! 

Ok so I've been gone a while, but while I've been gone I've had a totally revamp of my blog by the lovely Amy! (Check out her blog and amazing designs here!)

So while my blog has been changed and looks totally fresh now I took the chance to visit MAC, I mean why wouldn't I! I didn't really go for anything specific but I ended up with a lipstick and a gloss! I've been looking for a few nude/brown shade of lipstick for a while and I did find a few but I've found the holy grail of browns and I'm in LOVE! 

Matt lipstick-Velvet Teddy

I brought this lipstick not really knowing much about MAC lipsticks so I thought I would start out with something not too daring so decided to start with 'velvet teddy'. It's a Matt nude/brown shade which I've been looking at for a while and decided it was time to buy- and I'm so glad I did! I've been obsessed with this lipstick since the day I took it home! It's perfect for everyday use you can put it on with any makeup look and great for topping up throughout the day! It's a gorgeous texture on your lips, glides on and lasts for about an hour and a half even while I'm busy at work! 

If anyone's looking for a perfect nude lipstick then you have to try velvet teddy!

Lustregloss- Morning glory

Im not going to lie, I brought this lipstick just on impluse, not really thinking much about it, I saw the pink shade and thought it was super pretty so I brought it! I didn't really like much of it but when I put it on I fell in love! It's a lovely subtle shade that gives a lasting impression and I got compliments on it throughout the day! If your looking for something pretty for a spring glam then this is it! :)

I'm always looking for new lip products to try so leave a comment and let me know what your favourite is and what you recommend so I can try! Hope you all liked this post!

Makeup Haul Time!

I don't think I've actually ever posted a haul and its been a while since I've actually been makeup shopping and I forgot how much I enjoyed it! I went straight to boots and Superdrug to buy a load of goodies! I didn't go shopping or anything in particular so as I walked into the shop I didn't know what to buy first! I picked up so many different products I had to put a few down! By the time I got home I realised I didn't buy that much so I'm planning on going back so expect another haul sometime soon! :)

  

List of products:
1.) Collection shimmer shade in Blushalicious
2.) Maybelliene dream satin liquid in light porcelain
3.) Real Techniques Beauty Blender
4.) Kelly Brook Quad eye shadow
5.) Kelly Brook bronzer in Bardot
6.) 17 single shadow in Darkness
7.) MUA academy brow pencil in blonde/ Natural collection lip liner in Ruby Rose and Almond
8.) MUA academy matt lipsticks in Peachy Keen and Totally Nude, Satin lipstick in shade 3
9.) Natural collection water guard mascara in black

I've always been a really big makeup shopper so I thought Id take advantage of the opening times at my nearest Superdrug!

The first place I went to was NewLook just for a browse and I found the Kelly Brooke makeup range! I really like Kelly Brook anyway and I've seen her makeup range before but I've only every brought the bronzer so I thought I would buy the blusher to match! The blusher (Bardot) is a soft pink/peach and its great for me as a natural everyday look. I also brought the collection shimmer shade (Blushalicious) and I love it! The 4 different shades complement each other so well and give off a subtle glow.

I love buying and trying out different lipsticks so when I went to the MUA academy stand in superdrug I saw they were only £1 so I stocked up! I Love Love Love the new Matte finish lipsticks! The 'Totally nude' shade is my go to shade and I absolutely love it! I haven't tried the Shade 3 satin finish lipstick yet as I forgot I brought it but the others stay on for a few hours and I only had to reapply once or twice throughout the day! Love Them!

When I was shopping in new look, I saw this quad by Kelly Brook and  fell in love with the colours! The deep emerald shade is magic on the lid and the palette as a whole is to die for! the only disappointment with it, is that there is no matte shades, as much as I love a shimmer shadow I kind of wanted the lighter green to be matte to balance out the look but it still looks great on!

Ive been looking for a pigmented black eye shadow for so long now but the one I've found have been either not pigmented enough or they've come of looking chalky, so when I was in boots and came across this shadow I had to buy it! With a pencil brush it would look great for a really deep Smokey eye for a night time look! I cant wait to try it soon!

Lipstick Time!

                                            

Morning everyone! :)

Ok so im one of those girls that love collecting and trying on lipsticks but i dont wear it all the time. When i do wear lipsticks thought it makes me feel a lot more confident in myself and actually feels like my makeup is complete! I say i dont wear a lot of lipsticks but the one thing i do love is a good lip gloss! I have about 4 clear and slightly pink lipglosses dotted around in soooo many different bags and around my house! I thought id share with you a few lipstick colours and textures that i like and do wear quite a lot when im out and about! :)

Enjoy!

from left to right: avon plump pout in plumping pearl, color trend lipstick in intimate, collection lock 'n' hold lipgloss in body pop1, avon matt liptick in the shade show me some skin, depotted liptick shimmer pink pearl. the brush i used to apply the products is a Real Techniques detailer brush.

I know that when people, me included, swatch lipsticks on either arms or hand, you can sometimes notice that the colour isnt always the same shade as when you wear it on your lips, so ive swatched them on my lips so you can get a more accurate colour.

(please note that my lighting isnt that good so some colour may be less pigmented but ill tell you which products when they come up)

Clear lipgloss

So may already know that i love a clear lipgloss and this one is no different! it leaves my lips feel so soft and moisturised and sometimes lip glosses can be sticky and horrible but this gloss slides right onto my lips and lasts for quite a few hours!

'Intimate' Lipstick

this purple color trend lipstick is one of my favourite colours. the photo doesnt do it justice. when i first put this colour on i did realise that i do need to put a few layers on for the colour to come through but when it does it look so good!

Pink Gloss

if i could wear only one shade of pink for the rest of my life then this would be it! the colour is so bright and pigmented and its a great little pick me up to vamp up and makeup look! It is a bit sticky when you apply it but it stays put for atleast 5 hours and the colour doesnt fade! Love it!

Show me some skin

This shade for me is a very nude shade as its a matt brown. it glides onto my lips so nice and smooth. it lasts a long time and goes great with a lot of different makeup looks! (As i was swatching this lipstick i realised i actually really like it a lot and defintely going to start wear it a lot more!)

Depotted lipstick

Im not actually sure what brand this lipstick is but i really like it! the pigment is great and its so easy to apply with a brush, it gives a natural colour to the lips and is great for people of fairr skin to brighten up a daytime look!

I hope you all enjoyed this post and i love to read and reply to comments!
