Mac - Mineralize Concealer

NC15

I love to use this concealer as a brightening under-eye highlight. I love the applicator and how light in coverage and color it is. Really nice consistency.




Rimmel - Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl
I adore this waterproof formula and the silver is just the right pop of colour.

Silver

Benefit - Rockateur

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is the most beautiful looking benefit blush. I love the lace-like packaging. Inside is just as beautiful, the rose gold tones with sheckles of glitter. I also use this as a highlighter.

Mac - Amplified Lipstick






















Up The Amp is my current favourite mac lipstick at the moment. It is a grape purple color. It is more darker looking in real life to what it looks in the image. I love this shade for the winter, it's not too light/dark. It is very moisturising and the finish is gorgeous.





Lush - Bubblegum Lip Scrub
I love the smell and texture of this lip scrub. And the colour! Smells exactly like those bubblegums in a stick :) I think it is also edible but don't eat it :)

Stila - stay all day liquid lipstick
These liquid lipsticks are of the best quality. They are so pigmented and opaque. They glide on like a lipgloss and dry matte like a lipstick. And lasts all day!

Mac - Viva Glam Lipsticks
These are my favourite range of lipsticks at the moment. They have the best range of colours. The perfect red. The perfect nude. The perfect plum. The perfect pink. In different finishes. Plus the sale of this lipstick goes towards helping women, men and kids everywhere affected by HIV and AIDS. Giving is receiving.

Mac - Viva Glam Nicki Lipstick



This is my favourite pink lipstick at the moment. A bold nicki pink. With a satin finish. I get quite a lot of compliments when I wear this lipstick. I love the doll look :)

Illamasqua - Blushers
These blushers are the best pigmented blushers I've come across. They do some natural blushes and the dramatic blushes. My favourite shades right now is Naked Rose, Disobey and Hussy. They are really pigmented so you only need a little on your brush. The colour pay off is amazing. I like that when I am applying the blush I can smell the sweet scent. The packaging is so classic. I've been loving good products with good packaging.

Mac's Matte Lipstick

Mac cosmetics are known for there range of lipsticks. They do a number of types of lipsticks but my favourite range would have to be the Matte lipsticks. They have some gorgeous colours. I find that matte lipsticks look more dramatic and clean on the lips and they last much longer. Whereas a lipstick with shine or of a cream texture to be more prone to smear and smudge throughout the day. Mac lipsticks are very pigmented in colour so you wouldn't need to layer and layer the product on. I can see why InStyle Magazine awarded Mac the "Best Lipstick Range" title.  With a matte lipstick you would think it would be quite drying on your lips but Mac's matte lipsticks are quite hydrating and don't dry out the lips as some other brands. My favourite colours at the moment would have to be Chili and Diva. A coral red orange and a dark purple. The pop of colour is great for fall. If you was looking for the perfect pillarbox red it would have to be Ruby Woo. But if you wanted to go slightly darker Russian Red would be the one. They also do a pretty babydoll pink called Snob which is the barbie pink. If you wanted a everyday lip, you could try the nudes. Myth is a popular nude, but if you find it looks quite washed out on your skin tone I would suggest Honey Love which has more of a pink undertone.
