MAC Lipsticks

MAC LIPSTICKS

One beauty item I cannot be without is my collection of MAC lipsticks. I remember the first one I bought, just over a year ago. I couldn't decide between two gorgeous pink shades and ended up walking away with them both. There's something I love about the power that comes with applying a killer pout, instantly transforming an everyday make up look into something much much more.


Speak Louder
This is the first lipstick I bought from MAC, I approached the counter in search of a summer shade - it was June. I'd used various other MAC items (MAC being my favourite make up brand) but never before had I used a MAC lipstick. It was love at first sight, the cremesheen finish of this lipstick ensures it is glossy without being sticky and moisturises lips whilst providing a beautiful hot pink colour.

Speed Dial

This is a lighter pink but still has the cremesheen finish making it perfect for everyday wear. I like to call it my "Barbie pink" as it is that stereotypical girl colour.

This was the first matte finish lipstick I purchased and it did not disappoint. The neutral tone of this lipstick makes it an Autumn must have and suitable for all skin tones. My camera quite simply does not do it justice.




Diva
Do not be put off my the darkness of the lipstick - I promise you it is not as dark as it looks. Lipsticks always look completely different once applied. My love for this lipstick expands just the name which makes me feel like Beyonce . This is my go to shade on a cold winters day, an unmistakable dark red.




Rebel
I had had my eye on this lipstick for many months prior to my purchase. The satin finish of Rebel ensures versatility as each time I wear it the shade and intensity of the colour is completely different ranging from berry red to purple.






Relentlessly Red
This, much to my mother's dismay is one of my favourites. It's a bright shade of red and really is relentless, certainly not for the faint hearted! But I love it. The retro matte finish of this lipstick ensures it doesn't leave your lips all day/night. It's so much darker in person than on this picture.




Creme cup
My most recent MAC lipstick purchase and the most natural of all my lipsticks. Again, it has a cremesheen finish as this finish is my favourite. Due to the sheen of this lipstick it isn't wishy-washy and is perfect for a natural look paired with a smokey eye.



Although they are £15 each and some may say that is an unnecessary and ridiculous amount to spend on a lipstick the quality and longevity of these lipsticks is something you cannot put a price on in my eyes. I never have to reapply my lipstick, returning home with my lips looking as perfect as they did when I applied. If you are in doubt about purchasing a lipstick from MAC my only question would be as to why the doubt. Do it!

Welcome

I have been toying with the idea of starting a blog for quite some time now. One of the reasons for my reluctance was the exposure and possible scrutiny that could come my way but after advice from friends and family I have finally decided to give it a go.

Beauty and fashion are vitally important elements in my life. Some may find this shallow but I assure you that I am not, I fully understand that beauty is skin deep and I simply enjoy nothing more than experimenting with different looks and styles.

My blog will be based around nail art and make up tutorials along with beauty reviews and my favourite fashion looks, alongside the occasional personal post.

I hope you enjoy xoxo
