My Top 5: MAC Lipsticks


MAC Lipsticks are the reason for my lipstick love. I bought my first one back in October 2012 (it was Pink Plaid), and since then i've gone on to acquire 16 more. Sixteen. No one needs that many lipsticks. But anyway, you can read a full post on my Mac lipstick collection here.So there's definitely an easy top 5 favourite from my collection!


LADY DANGER: This bold orange toned red is probably my go-to bright lip due to it's amazing all day staying power and the amazing unique colour! I literally haven't found anything the same as this (there probably is something out there but I just haven't found it). Despite it being a matte formula (my favourite type of Mac Lipstick) it's not drying as I know some can be.

GIRL ABOUT TOWN: A cult favourite and one of MAC's best sellers. This gorgeous blue-tone pink (bright blue fuchsia as described by MAC) is the perfect bright pink shade in a super long lasting Amplified Creme finish. Definitely my favourite pink lip.

MORANGE: I've hesitated for so long getting this, then finally decided to dive into the world of orange lipsticks. Morange is described by MAC as Loudmouth orange and is in an Amplified Creme finish. I like wearing this with MAC Painterly Paint Pot all over my lid and mascara, or a simple black winged liner and mascara.

CREME CUP: Creme Cup is the perfect everyday shade to accompany everything from a simple winged liner to a dark smokey eye. MAC describe this Cremesheen lipstick as Light blue pink. Suits every skin tone because it's a pinky nude rather than a beige nude.

RUSSIAN RED: This is the perfect red lip! It's matte formula stays put all day long and as it is a blue toned red, it makes your teeth look whiter. I wear the Rimmel 1000 Kisses Lip Pencil in Red Dynamite underneath this which keeps it on even longer.



MAC Lipsticks retail for £15 and are available at MAC counters and online HERE

TOP 5 OF 2013

Can you believe that 2013 is over in less than 24 hours?! Crazy isn't it!
It's fair to say that this year I've trialled and tested A LOT of beauty products this year, but I've managed to cut it down to the top 5 that have stood out from the rest. So in no particular order...


CLINIQUE DRAMATICALLY DIFFERENT MOISTURISING LOTION +
Clinique.com | £17-£28.50
Firstly starting off with a skincare love. I hardly mention skincare on my blog, mainly because I'm so lazy with skincare, and I'm only just getting into a proper regime. My skin gets quite dehydrated and this is a perfect pick-me-up.

RIMMEL MATCH PERFECTION FOUNDATION
Boots.com | £6.99
Being one of my most recent purchases, this is by far one of my favourite products; it's such a lovely foundation and leaves my skin looking so luminescent. You can read more about it in THIS post.

MAC LIPSTICK IN LADY DANGER
Maccosmetics.com | £15
I bought this lipstick at the beginning of April shortly after my operation (needed a bit of cheering up), and its perfect for daytime, nighttime, summer, winter. It's basically just the perfect lipstick!! The bright orange-red shade is definitely not one for the faint hearted as it is super super bright, which I love. Because of it's matte finish, it stays put all day.
First mentioned here (this is from the time where I was obsessed with over using snapsneed on EVERY picture... apologies)

LADY GAGA FAME EAU DE PARFUM
Boots.com | £31 (for 50ml)
I originally got this fragrance in about March or April and I instantly loved it (that much that I'm on my second bottle). It's the perfect scent for both daytime and evening.

MAYBELLINE THE ROCKET VOLUME EXPRESS MASCARA
Boots.com | £7.99
My trusty mascara of the year. I've mentioned this countless times, as you'll know, for reasons that you'll probably know too. It's by far the best mascara I've ever used.
