June Favourites

I know this is a little late this month, but I thought better late than never right? I have really enjoyed using so many different products this month. Much more than usual, so the video is a little rambley. June has literally flown by for me, I had my first year Uni exams at the beginning of the month so that took up a lot of my time. However, I am finally back in the swing of things with Youtube and my videos etc. Im even moving to a new blog and Youtube channel very soon.

This new blog needs a name and as much as I try, I cannot think of anything. My creativity has failed me! If any of you guys have any suggestions (silly,funny,girly or completely random) I would greatly appreciate it!

Other than that, I hope you all had a lovely June and have started the month of July off with a smiles on your faces!

Let me know what your June favourites were and link me to your posts if you have one:)

Have a wonderful day and enjoy the video!

Much Love

MAC Lipstick Collection

Hello Lovelies,

Today I thought I'd show you all of the MAC lipsticks I own, as it seems to be a highly requested post in the beauty community, I also love to see other peoples collections as its nice to see colours you wouldn't otherwise think of purchasing.

Now my collection only consists of 5 lipsticks, so not a particularly large amount. However, I decided to only do my MAC ones:

1. Because I wear them all on a regular basis so you may find it useful if you like the kind of make-up I like.

2.If I did my whole lipstick collection, it may get a little obnoxious :P (there aren't that many I promise!)

Anyway, without further ado, here they all are lined up looking neat and lovely :)

 L-R: Viva Glam Gaga II, Creme Cup, Modesty, Plumful and Dark Side.

Viva Glam Gaga II is a gorgeous brown toned nude. Great for when you want to play up the eyes or if you're going for a 60's vibe. I love this colour, but it requires very smooth lips and a lip pencil to make it look good.    

Obviously a cult classic. There isn't a person I know in the beauty blogging community that doesn't own this. It's a gorgeous baby pink that is really easy to wear due to the cream sheen finish. A great everyday colour.

 For me, Modesty is one of those 'your lips but better colours'. I use it as an everyday shade for when I just want a more polished finish without any obvious colour on the lips.

 Plumful is by far my favourite shade of MAC Lipstick. It is a gorgeous plummy pink on the lips that just lifts the entire face. It's not too bright for everyday wear due to the Lustre finish, but can be built up for a more dramatic evening look.

              Dark Side is by far my most dramatic lipstick colour. It looks lovely on, when paired with a really simple eye for a night out, or can be used as a subtle stain for more formal events.                                                        

L-R: Dark Side, Plumful, Modesty, Cremecup,Viva Glam Gaga II

Hope you enjoyed this rather long post!

Until next time.

MAC Haul and Review

Hello Lovelies,

In my recent post on what I bought in the boxing day sales, I gave you a sneak peak at what I bought from MAC. I was so excited to finally pick some things up. The makeup artist was absolutely lovely, she chose some beautiful colours that really work well with my skin tone too.

Here's what I bought...

Paint Pot in Groundwork

This is the loveliest bronzy/brown shade. It gives a lovely wearable wash of colour to the eyes, or works as an amazing base for a neutral eye.

Lipstick in Plumful

Hands down this is my favourite lipstick EVER. Not that I own an enormous amount, but this is simply beautiful. It has an amazing formulation (its a lustre), feels good on the lips and really complements my skin tone. It is a gorgeous plummy red shade that is just dark enough to have an effect, but not too dramatic either. It can be dabbed on the lips for everyday wear, or worn opaque for a night out. Bloody love it!

Eyeshadow in Coppering

I bought this as a slightly more dramatic edition to my neutral palette, it is a gorgeous red/copper shade that is surprisingly very wearable.

Blush in Blushbaby

This was one of those 'I shouldn't buy anymore so ill leave it, but then you go back to the store later and pick it up' purchases :) Dreadful as that is, I do not regret it at all. I don't think I own a blush like this. Quite simply, it is soft, matte, contouring loveliness.

Writing this post, I realise just how much I bought :P. I must say though, I am very pleased with all the products and have already used them multiple times in the last week.

Have you bought any new makeup items recently?

Much Love

Lou
