The Berry Lip Trend.

On a day to day basis I am a nude lip kinda girl however when it comes to the colder months and richer colours come back into season I cant help but delve into my collection and grab those plummy shades. I have a couple that are my holy grail Autumnal lip shades that I reach for every year and also some more recent purchases. 

In terms of finish I do tend to prefer a matte or satin as I find the darker shades wear better in those formulas, although I often suffer from dry lips so I just place some Elizabeth Arden 8 hour lip balm on before to keep them hydrated. I also tend to use lipliners with most of these shades to get a cleaner line and to stop any colour bleeding. 

L-R: Charlotte Tilbury; Night Crimson..Rimmel; 107..Revlon; Fiery Flamboyante..Mac; Dark Side..Nars; Cruella. 

*Charlotte Tilbury in Night Crimson - I LOVE this lipstick, the colour, the formula, the packaging, it's just perfection! The longevity of this product is very impressive and wears off evenly so none of that patchy lip situation going on! Although these lipsticks are at the higher end of the price scale they are worth the hype if you're looking for that one perfect lipstick. 

*Rimmel Kate Moss in 107 - I dont think there will ever be an Autumn lip edit without this one featured. The quality of this lipstick for the price is outstanding and delivers everything you need for Fall. I am now on my third purchase of this shade and will continue to repurchase as it is such a great buy!

*Revlon Matte Balm in Fiery Flamboyante - A very new purchase for me, I'm pretty sure this is a new shade as I had never seen it before. I have a couple of these already and adore the consistency, they are perfect for quick and easy application aswell as being comfortable to wear and give great pigmentation. 

*Mac in Dark Side - I had to include a Mac shade, although I have quite a collection I dont reach for them as often as I used to, yet I do love the colour range that they do. Dark Side is the newest to my collection and is one I have been reaching for, contrary to its name this is wearable shade and isn't quite as scary as it sounds, I've found patting it down to more of a stain with a balm on top looks really pretty if you want something more subtle.

*Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Cruella - The perfect red. There is no better way to explain this shade, it is definitely a bold statement and is not for the faint hearted if you're nervous of trying a bolder shade however if you're looking for that classic red then you can stop right here because everything you need is in this lip pencil. My only criticism would be it is slightly drying on the lips and therefore does need a balm underneath, but I tend to wear one anyway so its not really a problem. 

Thanks for reading, as always I read all comments and answer any questions - let me know any autumn favourites you have so I can check them out!

The Autumn Edit.

For my second post of the day it's just a quick one! I recently realised that I had subconciously changed my everyday makeup due to the new season without even really noticing, these are products that aren't the classic bold berrys but are the more soft warm tones that brighten the skin up. 

As I have a large Mac palette and a quad I tend to swap the quad round with whichever are my most used shades at the current time and recently those have been Paradisco, Mythology, Coppering and Antiqued all of which fall into the orange/rust kind of tones which are perfect for this time of year. 

In terms of face products I tend to change up my blush shades and in this case I have been picking up Clinique's blush in Ginger Pop which again is a rich deep orange/bronze shade, I also used this in the summer with golds so this is a all year round kind of colour. On top of that if im feeling like I want more of a glow I use the Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick in Nectar - again the orange shade but with more pink that adds a natural glow to the skin. 

Finally for lips and for this I tend to change up on a daily basis but I have been putting the Charlotte Tilbury lipgloss in Ibiza Nights over basically everything aswell as on its own, the gloss adds a sheer wash of nude with gold that enhances the lips when the lights hits them - absolutely stunning! 

Let me know of any Autumn staples that are worth picking up in the comments below, I read every one and will reply to any questions - Thanks for reading!

Viva Glam Miley + Lip Swatch.

Yet another edition to my constantly growing collection of Mac is the Miley Cyrus Viva Glam lipstick, I actually bought this just after it was released but didnt actually try it out until today and I have to say I am really impressed. It's an amplified finish which is my favourite as they aren't drying like matte but have amazing pigmentation and feel comfortable on the lips. The shade is a hot pink that I can see myself wearing alot in the summer, it has quite a glossy finish which I actually prefer on brighter shades as it makes my lips look hydrated. 

Although there is a lot of negativity about Miley this is the only shade out of the Viva Glam celebrity collection that I have actually really liked and found to be something I can wear all the time. I think this shade would suit anyone as its a really clean pink and just adds a really pretty pop of colour even on minimal makeup days. 

I am pretty much in love with this lipstick its just so pretty and definitely worth a try if you like to try brighter shades. There is a matching gloss to this shade that I am now considering as I think that would be a sheerer version if you wanted this to be abit less intense. 

I have done a previous post a while ago that was a full lip swatch of my Mac lipstick collection, I have added a couple (or 6) since then but it does feature about 20 shades if you wanted to see any others, I will link that one here. 

Let me know what your favourite Mac lipstick is, I read every comment and will reply to any questions.

Mac: Toxic Tale.

I haven't posted on here in a while due to being crazy busy so I thought I would start back up with a small post on this lipstick that I picked up about two weeks ago and my thoughts on it. 

After this shade was released with the Venomous Villains collection in 2010 it has been talked about ever since and I wished I had managed to get my hands on it then - however Mac decided to recently re-release the shade with their Red collection and I knew I had to have it. 

The shade is called Toxic Tale and on me it is a coral red that is just so beautiful and will be a staple for summer. It has an amplified finish which is my favourite as they are super pigmented but aren't as drying as mattes. 

I find this shade to be really complimentary to my skintone and adds a nice pop of colour. I'm really glad I managed to finally add this to my forever growing collection as it is unlike any other shade I own. I'm not sure if this shade is now still available, I think it sold out quite quickly but I actually got mine from Debenhams as Mac online had none in stock so if you're interesting in the shade it might be worth checking your local stores as they could have some left!

Mac Lipsticks: The Nudes

Over the past year there, especially with Kylie Jenner's influence there has been a real surge of the 90's nude lip and I think I have my bases covered. From pinks to browns, mattes to sheer I have found my six favourite Mac nudes. If you want to see other shades from Mac lipstick collection I did do a swatch post which I will link here, my collection has grown since that last post so not all my shades are featured but there are about 20 other shades to have a look at. 

From left to right is - Creme Cup, Mehr, Patisserie, Velvet Teddy, Kinda Sexy, Jubilee. 

Creme Cup - This is a Cremesheen finish and is an everyday pale pink that looks beautiful when paired with a grey smokey eye. The formula makes it super comfortable to wear and just looks effortless. 

Mehr - A matte shade that falls into the Kylie Jenner scale of colours, a deep neutral pink that on me is a my lips but better shade. 

Patisserie - A lustre that is fairly sheer but evens out the tone of my lips and to me is very similar to Kinda Sexy in terms of its shade, it seems to be the more glossy version so when paired together they look really pretty. 

Velvet Teddy - Probably the most popular Mac lipstick of 2014, this matte shade is a simple nude brown but it just makes the lips look bigger and really amps up an everyday makeup look. 

Kinda Sexy - Again another matte finish, this is a warmer toned brown and on me has a look of peach in it, I've been wearing this alot recently with a copper toned eye and the two just look lovely together. 

Jubilee - This was my most used lipstick in 2014 summer, it just goes with every makeup look so in the summer when I dont wear very much it just gives it a finishing touch. It's quite a mid/light brown/pink nude with a neutral undertone. 

So that is it for my favourite neutrals, I have a feeling that to some having all six may seem unnecessary but in my eyes they are all completely different...

Mac BollyDoll Brush Roll.

During December I found myself forgetting about Mac and all of its collections on its website and looking into different brands, however last week I went on to order a lipstick and saw this new collection called BollyDoll and with it a release of limited edition brush roll containing five of Mac's bestsellers! As soon as I saw the set contained five of their brushes I was thinking it was going to cost a complete fortune but to my absolute surprise it only cost £42 which for all of that didnt seem to bad. 

The actual brush roll is a satin material with a really pretty print, it is then held shit by tying a black satin bow around it. Once opened you can see the five brushes included which are covered by a plastic cover with the brands on the top, I really liked that it had this cover as it stops the brushes from getting as dirty. 

The set contains: 

168 - Angled Contour Brush

217 - Blending Brush 

239 - Eye Shader Brush 

219 - Pencil Brush 

204 - Lash Brush 

I'm so happy with this set, especially for the price, apart from the lash brush I have wanted all of the others for ages and to be able to get them in a set and cheaper is just an amazing deal! I would recommend this set if you are wanting to start with Mac brushes as it has some real cult classics and will cost alot less than buying them separate plus you get the brush roll which I think looks really lovely and is great for travel.

In a Rush Make-up.

As much as I love trying out different make-up looks and really experimenting, my daily life wont allow me to do it all the time therefore I have my quick and easy routine that takes no more than 10 minutes and is just enough for days when you need to run out to the shops or simply dont have much time. 

As a quick side note I also use my Mac SF Natural in Medium Plus and a matte cream eyeshadow but completely forgot to put them in the photo! 

For base I use the Estee Lauder Daywear Sheer Tint Moisturiser this is two steps in one so it moisturises and primes my face while also adding a sheer cover of colour that is very light coverage but enough to even out skintone and brighten the skin. 

I then use my Time Balm Concealer by The Balm, this is a high coverage concealer and will cover anything! I use it everyday no matter what make-up I'm wearing, I use it under my eyes and on any blemishes as although it is high coverage it doesn't feel heavy on my skin. 

My eyebrow routine never changes so I use Mac's Brun to fill them in and then brush through them lightly with the L'Oreal Brow Artist Plumper, I've done this routine for a while now so it doesn't take a long time at all but just using the L'Oreal product would be enough if your not too fussed about filling in your brows. 

As mentioned at the start of the post I will occasionally use a matte cream eyeshadow (usually UD Foxy) simply just because I prefer the way it looks. I then just add abit of mascara, at the moment I'm loving Lancome's Hypnose it really lengthens my lashes but still leaves them looking natural which is great for an everyday look. 

To add a touch of colour to my face I use my Estee Lauder blush is Peach Passion, this is a really pretty peach with a subtle gold shimmer that when applied to the face gives that 'inner glow' effect that just makes you look healthy. 

Finally for lips I use a chubby stick, I dont really stick to a particular one but one that I'll leave in my handbag is Clinique's Chubby Stick in Curviest Caramel, which is a warm toned nude and adds enough colour so you dont look ill with minimal make-up. Another shade I use is Peach on the Beach by Bourjois from their chubby stick range. 

Thanks for reading, thats my quick and easy routine, let me know if you have any go to products that make getting ready quicker - I read every comment and will reply to any questions

Mac Holiday Collection: Gold Pigments

I'm abit of a sucker for anything with a bit of a Christmas twist so when beauty brands come out with their holiday collections I cant wait to see what they've done. I have already got a mini palette from the Bobbi Brown collection which is beautiful and will have a review on very soon. 

Now the Heirloom collection from Mac has had me very excited since I saw the US release however since sadly I dont have a bottomless purse (I wish!) I settled on my favourite item from the Keepsake part of the collection which was the pigment box. 

After alot of go and back and forth between the different boxes I eventually went for the nude/gold pigments although the pink toned one was absolutely beautiful! I chose this set as it is the most wearable for me and means I can incorporate some sparkle into my everyday makeup. 

Shades from L-R

Lithe - cream with subtle shimmer

English Gilt - rose gold 

Pretty it up - olive with gold shimmer

Gold Glitter

Deep Brown - matte dark brown

For only £26 this is such a good buy if you're thinking about trying pigments or if you want alot of different colours. I apply mine by dipping my brush into eye drops just so its damp, this makes the look super shimmery and almost like foil, something i'll be doing alot for the upcoming season.

October Favourites

This month has been pretty hectic for me so I have found myself using the same products everyday to save time. Although I do normally like to go towards the berry tones for this time of year I have stuck to a very neutral look as its one I always enjoy wearing and takes little maintenance. 

So first of all I'll talk about the Mac products I have which are my neutral quad and my blush. This is my favourite quad and is perfect for when I'm travelling; the four shades I have are Brule, Shroom, Brown Down and Woodwinked which basically cover all bases when it comes to an easy neutral eye. Then the blush is a matte formula in the shade Mocha, this is mauvey pink shade that is really natural looking and just adds that touch of colour. 

The next two products are from The Balm and are relatively new to me as I got them in my online haul (here). Since I got these I have not stopped using them! The Time Balm concealer was something I was very sceptical about since nothing seems to cover my dark circles enough but this is just amazing! And of course I had to try the Mary-Lou Manizer, this is the most beautiful highlighter, its a real champagne gold and gives a sheen to the skin that in the winter sun looks gorgeous! 

For the lips I have used lots of different lipsticks and glosses but I have repeatedly reached for my YSL Volupte Gloss, its just a simple everyday pink shade that makes the lips look healthy and hydrated which is a major plus for me as I always suffer from dry lips. Which brings me to the next choice and that is the new Nivea Fruity Shine balms; I have been an Elizibeth Arden 8 Hour Cream girl for the longest time and always carry some in my handbag, however this little balm is so good and the as I got the scent watermelon it smells amazing. 

Lastly is the fragrance I have been wearing and this has been Rogue by Rihanna, I think this is a real love/hate perfume for alot of people but as it comes out really warm on me I love it. It does have some floral and fruity notes to it that dont really come out on my skin as I seem to pick up the Amber and Patchouli which are both scents that I really like especially in the colder months. 

So those are my October favourites, let me know any of your favourites in the comments below, I read every one and reply to any questions

Red Lips.

By now most of us have put our corals and pinks to the back of our make up drawers and have been favouring those berry tones for Autumn/Winter. I know I have been wearing Mac's Rebel pretty much constantly this month and loving that plummy wine colour; however I have noticed a certain colour going unworn that I have so many beautiful variations of and I couldnt think of a reason as to why I have been neglecting it. 

Red is most definitely a bold statement and for those that are shy of bright make up, red lips can often be really intimidating. Personally I love a red lip and think it can really brighten up your complexion and even when you're not wearing much else it can give you a very polished look. 

L-R: Revlon 'Candy Apple'... Bourjois 'Red Island'...Mac 'True Loves Kiss'...L'Oreal 'Juliannes Red'... Rimmel 'Red Diva'

So I'll start off with the two most sheer and buildable shades in the collection, Revlon's Candy Apple and Bourjois' Red Island. Both of these shades start with a sheer wash of red which is great for anyone that  wants to try a red lip but doesn't want to go too full on straight away. These are also very moisturising and wear off evenly, I find Candy Apple to be more orange-red which I do prefer but Red Island is also really pretty. 

Now for the two lipsticks. Yes I know the Maleficent shade is LE but there are many mac reds that are just beautiful like Ruby Woo and Russian Red, I've included True Loves Kiss to represent the brand just as much as the actual shade as it is just a clean bright red that wouldn't be hard to dupe. Secondly my new absolute love! I fell for the L'Oreal Nudes collection when they came out and now the reds have just stolen my heart. The formula is incredible, the colour is beautiful and the packaging is sleek and compact which basically ticks all my boxes. 

Lastly is a liner, Rimmel's Red Diva is part of their Exaggerate range, it's a blue toned red but blends really nicely with any of the shades previously mentioned. It has a creamy formula and even with just this on my lips they dont feel dry or go patchy which is a huge plus for me!

That Kylie Jenner Lip.

For the last few months the beauty blogging world has been consumed with posts on the infamous 'Kylie Jenner lip' and although we know she uses a Mac lip liner to create her perfect pout, we can still find our own adaptions so here is my collection of products that I've found work and give a similar effect. 

Firstly I have a Mac lipstick, mine is in the shade Mehr and is that mauvey/pink/brown shade its a matte formula so does give a similar look to that of Kylie's, I've had this for a while now and was using it as an everyday shade then when the Jenner lip hype occurred it seemed to fit quite nicely. 

Next theres a Revlon Matte Balm in the shade Elusive, this is the pinkest shade of all the products that I have chosen, it's just a nice nude pink and would maybe be a good way for lighter haired girls to pull off the look. It does have that more mauve look to it aswell though and of course being matte it does tick alot of the boxes needed to achieve this trend. 

My favourite choice for this look is the Bourjois Rouge Velvet in Nude-ist. This is just perfect for how I wanted to achieve this look, I love these anyway but the fact they have this particular shade is even better. The formula of these are so good, a really comfortable matte product to wear and have great longevity. 

Finally a lipliner, this is a Sleek liner in the shade Lingerie and this does not budge! It's really creamy and comfortable on the lips but super matte and the colour is so pretty, I've been using this alot lately and have really liked it. 

L-R: Mac Mehr...Revlon Elusive...Bourjois Nude-ist...Sleek Lingerie.

Mac Rebel Dupe For £1!

I always get excited when I find more affordable dupes for popular more expensive products and ever since Makeup Revolution came to my work I have found so many! They have the Iconic palettes which are exact dupes for the Urban Decay Naked Palettes except Revolution's are only £4 saving you £33 which is just amazing.

Now for todays post I am soooo happy to have found a drugstore dupe for Mac's Rebel, I know that many brands have their berry shades and all have a similar idea of what Rebel looks like but this is an exact colour match for £14.50 less than Mac! The Revolution shade is from their Vamp range and is called Rebel With Cause; the only difference between the two products is the formula, both are super pigmented but the Revolution shade is more creamy, it does last a good amount of time on the lips but does wear off a slight bit quicker than Mac's but not enough to warrant such a price difference. 

Mac Rebel... Revolution Rebel With Cause. 

My advice would be if you're looking to dupe a product especially from Urban Decay or Mac go and give Makeup Revolution a try, they would also make great stocking fillers for makeup lovers or for younger girls starting out in makeup as you get such great quality for such an affordable price! 

Let me know if you've used any Revolution products and what you thought in the comments below, I read and reply to everyone!

HUGE Haul!!

So I've recently got back off holiday and have definitely done some damage to my poor bank account! I did pick some of these things from duty free, and the others I have got are either from my work (Superdrug) or Debenhams as they currently have 10% off all beauty so I did make some really good savings! (trying to validate this haul to myself) There is quite a lot to get through so I'll just put short descriptions of each product, if you would like a review post on any of these then please leave a comment below. 

First is the Cargo Cosmetics 'Back to Nature' palette; I wasn't planning on buying anymore eyeshadows as my palette collection is getting abit extensive and there isn't many colours that I dont have, however I really like all of these shades and there isn't one thats going untouched which is so unual for a non custom palette. The shades are all really pigmented and blend beautifully, there is a variation of finishes including, matte, metallic, satin and glitter. 

Obviously I had to pick up some lip products as they are definitely my weakness! I finally picked up Mac's Creme Cup which I got from duty free and used everyday on holiday, it really is a perfect everyday pink. I then bought one of the new L'Oreal Privee Reds collection lipsticks which is Julianne's, this is the pinkest of the range and is the formula of this lipstick is a-maz-ing! Finally I bought my first Bobbi Brown lipstick in the shade Tulle, again a really lovely everyday shade, and beautiful with a smoked bronze eye. 

For face products I had quite a major splurge; after alot of deliberation I persuaded to buy myself the Chanel  Soleil De Tan which is a cream based bronzer and is just beautiful. I decided to try one of Mac's MSF Naturals which is fast becoming my favourite face powder. For a blush I bought an Estee Lauder in Peach Passion, the shade looks much pinker on the camera as its a beautiful coral/peach. 

Skincare wise I've tried three new products to me which I have wanted to try but needed to finish others first. I'm super lazy with moisturising my body so I got the Spray & Go by Vaseline to try and make it more convenient and quick for the winter months. The Estee Lauder 3in1 Cleanser is something I've heard alot about and have been excited to try as its difficult to find facial care products that dont cause my sensitive skin to get irritated. Finally I bought the L'Oreal Skin Perfection Serum, I used the BB cream from this range last year and really loved it so hoping that I will enjoy this just as much. 

The last items I bought were two perfumes both from duty free, I got Down Town by Calvin Klein which I used to wear at work all the time, it's a really light, pretty scent but has great longevity. I then tried a scent I've never had before, Victoria's Secret's fragrance Victoria, this is super girly and with the base note of Creme Brule, perfect for the winter months!

And thats it! Thanks for reading, please leave any comments below, I read and reply to everyone!

Current Loves: Lipsticks

I have a love, (some may say obsession) for make-up and everything about it, I enjoy experimenting with new products and colours all the time. However I have a weakness, one that I have to admit is pretty extensive... Lipsticks. They are by far my favourite beauty product as you can switch them up so easily and there are so many different kinds/colours that you can never have to many right? 

Today though I have decided to pick 5 that I'm really enjoying right now, this was no easy task as I really do wear a different shade everyday but these were the 5 I have reached for more than others especially over the past few weeks or so. 

1. Bourjous Velvet Rouge Edition in Nude-ist - These to me are the perfect liquid lipstick, they are matte but dont go patchy or overly dry, they glide on beautifully and the colour pay off is amazing! This shade has been an absolute love for me recently as its a mauvey nude, super pretty all year round, and if you're looking for the Kylie Jenner lip without having to splurge at the Mac counter this is well worth a go. 

2. Revlon Lip Butter in Juicy Papaya - I have ALOT of these so it was hard to pick a shade, especially when there is normally at least one in my handbag at all times. This shade has been more of a summer staple, they are alot more sheer than they look so this gives a glossy coral look to the lips which I really like with a bronzed make-up look. 

3. Mac in Rebel - I have mentioned this lipstick so much recently but I cant help my obsession its just such a beautiful shade and pretty much the perfect colour for autumn/winter. I like how this one almost stains your lips and does not budge at all, I would love it to be in a cremesheen formula just because I get really dry lips but other than that its a complete staple for me. 

4. L'Oreal Privee Nudes in Julianne - Another shade I have talked about recently, this is my go to nude pink, I use this one alot as it goes with basically any make-up look, I even like to put it on when I'm not wearing anything else if I'm popping to the shops as it just makes me look healthier, this shade really does something to my skintone, and the formula is so good for the price, my absolute favourite drugstore lipstick. 

5. YSL Rouge Volupte Shine in 13 - Now this is my forever and always favourite lipstick, it is to me the perfect pink, the formula is just beautiful, the colour lasts and when it does wear off it does so evenly and leaves my lips still with a pink sheen. It is a pricey product but if I had to throw all my other lipsticks away and keep one this would be sat in my make-up bag, plus the packaging is just beautiful and I am abit of a magpie!

Hello Autumn

So September is here and I am so excited to start my favourite season, I love autumn and all its colours it's such a beautiful time of year. One of my absolute favourite things about autumn however is getting all my berry tones and warm coloured make up out of their drawers and really having a play with different looks. 

The Mac palette in the photo above is my newest palette and has four colours that I really enjoy using this time of year. I got a light lilac tone in the shade Beautiful Iris, a deep warm purple in Fig.1, a dark green with sparkle called Green Smoke and also a orange/pink/gold in Expensive Pink. All the colours in this palette are so pretty but I do love a purple smoked eye and as Fig.1 is a matte shade it definitely is my favourite. 

I have featured two Mac lipsticks however I wear lots of different branded lipsticks these were more to represent the tones that I wear. The two in the picture are Full Fuchsia and Rebel, I also really like Rimmel's Kate lipstick in 05 which is a berry pink. 

My fragrance is the one thing that I tend to change seasonally, although I have enough to wear a different one each day of the week! Rogue by Rihanna is one I was really unsure about but after it warms on my skin I really like it and it stays on for hours which I love. The notes that stand out on me are Amber, Patchouli and Vanilla which create a sweet but warm scent, really nice for the colder months.

August Favourites

So we're now into September which means all the berry toned lipsticks come out of their drawers and all the corals go into hiding until next summer however over August I found myself using products I feel I would use all year round and have actually really liked. 

The newest item to me is my YSL Fusion Ink foundation (link to review here) which I am LOVING! It's definitely for me a more autumn winter foundation as it is matte so I prefer their Touche Eclat foundation for the summer to give a more glowing dewy look. This foundation is super lightweight and gives a really airbrushed look. 

My neutral Mac quad is always a staple in my make up bag along with the Naked palettes however I have found myself reaching for this palette more than any others over the past few weeks. In this palette I have Shroom, Brule, Brown Down and Woodwinked. 

For the rest of my make up there has been a pink/nude theme for August, the blush is a YSL limited edition and has two different pink tones one a soft light pink the other a more deep brighter tone. For the lips I have constantly used the L'oreal Privee Julianne's Nude, I have occasionly worn Cheryl's but prefer the pinker tone; Gloss wise I have used two, the first is Estee Lauder in Tempting Tearose which is really lovely nude and the second is a YSL Gloss Volupte in the shade 202 which is a shimmery mid pink which is lovely with the L'oreal lipstick. 

So those are some of the products that I have been loving last month, please leave any comments below and I will reply, thanks for reading!
