Kisses for A/W!

Hey guys, its been a long time, but wanted to show you beautiful lot what lipsticks I'm wearing this autumn winter. They range from high end brands to drugstore bargains, hopefully there is one to everyones taste. I decided to pick out my top ten, but they are not placed in liked order, just in random. 

Mac Cremesheen Lipstick in Creme D'Nude - A great all year round lipstick, possibly my favourite Mac lipstick about. Its a gorgeous cream/nude colour with a slight gloss to it! 

17 Supreme Shine Lipstick in Bella - This for me was a great find, its a matte nude/brown lipstick, which is just gorgeous, its looks great over the top of a plum lipstick too, just to tone it down a little.

Miss Sporty Perfect Colour Lipstick in Malaga - I recently found this beauty hiding in my draw, after I bought it a while ago for a halloween lipstick, its a lovely deep red, and also stays put all day!

Sleek Pout Paint in Port - I have so much love for the Sleek Pout Paints, and this has to be my favourite shade they do! A gorgeous deep plum with a yummy gloss finish, perfect!

Jemma Kidd Lipstick in A La Mode - Was given this for a birthday present this year, and fell in love with it straight away, I love a nude lipstick, and this one is simply gorgeous!



Sleek Matte Lipstick in Mystic - Sleek lipsticks are one of my favourites, they have such pigmented colours, plus last forever! This is a beautiful mauve pink shade, an absolute must have!

YSL Rouge Volupté in 12 - If I had to pick my top lipstick at the moment it would be this beauty, I just love the YSL lipsticks. It apply amazingly and is extra smooth, the colour is just gorgeous a great winter plum, which lasts all day!

MUA Lipstick in Shade 7 - For just a pound you really cannot go wrong with this lipstick, a yummy deep pink shade, perfect to brighten up these gloomy days.

Mac Lustre Lipstick in Bright Plum - I bought this lipstick on a whim from the Mac website a little while ago, before checking it out in store or searching for swatches online, and I'm so glad I did! Its a yummy deep plum shade, with a lovely sheen finish.

Sleek Pout Paint in Pinkini - Yet another Pout Paint in my top ten, as you can tell, and as I said before I just love them, this shade is a bright but yet deep pink, why not try it mixed with Port, to create double the beauty!

Hope you girls enjoyed this post, whats are your top lipsticks for this Autumn/Winter?

XOXO

Let's have some Cremesheen

Speed Dial and Creme D'Nude

After getting a MAC gift voucher for my birthday from Megan, Chloe and Lauren, I decided I really needed wanted is a nude coloured lipstick. I had heard things about Creme D'Nude before but wasn't actually planning on picking this one as I wanted one that wasn't as popular. Then on chatting to the MUA in MAC I come to the conclusion that I should go with more of a Sheen look rather then a Matt, just so it doesn't look like I've just covered my lips in foundation, lets be honest, that is not a good look. Now after buying Creme D'Nude, I am now in love. Its a really nice neutral tone with a great shine to it, and looks gorgeous with my new DuWop Lip Venom over the top.

As for Speed Dial, this was purchased when I went on holiday but I never got round to swatching it for you guys. Its a lovely shade of pink, again with a gorgeous sheen to it.

Whats your favourite MAC shade?

Spoookkkkyyy!



Just a little catch up for my dearies, last weekend as you know it was Halloween weekend, I went out with Danielle and Victoria just to 02. Then the rest of the week I have just been at uni and doing some little crafty bits at home. 

As for that I have also started my Christmas shopping, and successfully nearly finished. Along the way I have treated myself to a few bits too, along with these MAC bits, which i'll swatch and review later one.

I was also debating doing a monthly favourites video, but still a little unsure about videoing myself, would anyone be interested in watching it?

It's all about the blush


MUA - Shade 6, Sleek Blush in Pomegranate, Mac Shimmer Tone Blush in Breezy 

I only realised the other day while applying my MAC blusher that it was quite similar to a couple of others that I had purchased the last couple of months. The first one I find is quite similar to is Shade 6 from the MUA range, retailing at only £1.00. This shade is  a little darker and more pink undertones then MAC's Breezy, but for a fraction of the price you can't really complain. The other blush that comes up close to MAC's is Sleeks blush in Pomegranate, this yet again had slightly more pink undertones then Breezy and yet again compared to MACs price of £17.00, the sleek blush comes in at a dead cheap £4.99. 

Even though each of these blushes are great shades and two are extreme bargians I would really recommend the MAC one, as they are just amazing, they have a great shimmer to them and also last all day.

What other brands do you recommend? 


So as you can tell I've been back to blogging a bit more recently, and I blame being very ill. I've been to the doctors twice already this week, and not to uni at all. One of the good things about being ill and off uni is spending my days with these little buggers, they look after me and give me cuddles to make me better.

Holiday Haul



Yes, as you can tell, I went a little too wild at the duty free in Gatwick. As I am sure all you over girlies would have too, I ended up getting quite alot from MAC. I had saved myself for duty free as I knew you get a little bit off, I come away with five Lipgelees, Opilash, Bronzer, Studio Fix, Concealer, Lip Conditioner, Lipstick in Speed Dial and also grabbed a few brushes. 

Out of what I have bought I would really recommend MAC Brush 224 Blending Brush, as it is amazing. I've never been to good at creating a smokey eye, but with this amazing brush its just so easy, also Opilash is great, its such a nice big brush, and not the rubbish plastic type.

As you can see I also picked up Urban Decays Naked palette, which I would also recommend, each shadow is just so highly pigmented and will go with any skin tone and eye colour. And then you have to get a perfume while in duty free, its like the law. So I picked up Juicy Couture's Viva La Juicy which is gorgeous, I have wanted this perfume for a while but the one I wanted to get was Fendi's Fen di which they didn't have at the airport (but I got my mitts on it when I got home).

Would you like to see swatches or reviews of any of the products? And whats been your best duty free purchase? 

XOXO

MAC MAC MAC


Left : Sunbasque           Right : Breezy


I have been meaning to do a post on these beauties since I started blogging. They are MACS Sheertone Blush in 'Sunbasque' and 'Breezy'. I have a serious love for these blushes, in my opinion MAC are just unbeatable when it comes to blush. They last all day, and with the added shimmer compared to majority of other branded blushes, which adds a highlighted element. After buying my first one or the Sheertone Blushes, I have since bought another four, as I just can't get enough of them.

Can you recommend me any gorgeous shades?

Mac Matt Lipstick in 'Please Me'


Last month I bought this Mac lipstick in Matt 'Please Me'. I've wanted this shade for a while but every time I went to buy it the counter was out of stock, luckily the other day on one of  Debenhams event days they had this beauty in stock and with an extra 10% off :). Its a beautiful cream rose kind of colour, and looks perfect on the lips for a natural day look. Mac lipsticks are also very moisturising in comparison to some other high branded lipsticks, also the colour last a long time so only have to re-apply once or twice in the day.


I also got my hands on the Fix spray, which is meant to keep your make up in place all day, and it does. Its a great product and work the £12.50 as your get some much too.


Hope everyones having a lovely week, yet again this is a scheduled post as I'm still away with my fella.

XOXO
