Lips | MAC So Chaud

So I have finally popped my MAC cherry (oo-er). After spending a very long time going into MAC stores and cooing over all the products then walking away more than slightly depressed I finally own a lipstick! Admittedly I didn't buy it myself (it was a gift of a very very lovely person!) However, I did spend the rest of the day skipping around the shopping center with my House of Fraser bag feeling very jolly and a little over excited.

This lipstick is the perfect 'reddy orange' and it great for day or night! It was a toss up between this shade and 'Morange' however I am really loving matte lipsticks at the moment to this was the one I chose! It has amazing lasting power and is super pigmented.

It looks more red here but I assure you its orange!

See definitely orange!

Have you tried this shade? 

You can find M.A.C here!
Untill next time...

Lips | MUA Lipstick Collection

As collections go this one is pretty small (yet very much loved!). I currently own just 5 of these lipsticks, but at £1 a go my collection is definitely going to continue growing! The MUA lipsticks are super creamy so wont dry your lips out at all. They have pretty good staying power too, considering the tiny price tag. Most of the colours in the range have pretty good pigmentation too, you really can't go wrong with these!

Here are some swatches...

As you can see these lipsticks have really good pigmentation!

Shade 6

This shade is really nice pink however it is almost metallic which I'm not sure suits me. This one is definitely a good spring pick it you are after something subtle.

Shade 3

This shade is one of my favorites. It is a bright fuchsia and has (possibly?) some blue undertones. I am a big fan of bright lips but this may not be for everyone.

Shade 14 Bare

A nude! I had never tried a true nude colour before so decided to give this ago. It does have a slightly pink tone to it however on my skin tone it just doesn't look right. (I have very pigmented lips naturally) It does look very good on my friend though so I say if you're looking for a nude give this a go! (It is only .£1 after all)

Shade 16 Nectar

Hello orange! Orange being my favorite colour I had high high hopes for this one. However, it didn't seem to have as much pigmentation as the others (maybe because it melted in the sun?) it is lovely for summer though and a great way to add a subtle tint of colour to your lips!

Shade 1

Now this is what I call a lipstick! I am a massive fan of red lips and this is the perfect 'vampy' red. At first it looked very dark (I was a little scared as I'm very pale) but after putting it on I fell in love! 

So over all these lipsticks are amazing at just £1 each and I can't wait to pop to Superdrug and buy some more!
You can find these at Superdrug or on the MUA website!

Have you tried these?
Let me know what you think!
Untill next time...

Nails | Lilac Ombre

Hello there...

So I am most definitely very late at getting on the 'ombre train'. However, late or not, I decided to give it a little go. I was getting a bit bored of block colour nails so thought I would try something a little different. It was so simple to do!

To create these nails I used: 

• BarryM Nail paint - 308 Berry Ice Cream
• BarryM Base/Top Coat - 54 Clear All in one
• MUA Nail polish - All Nude

I also used a little sponge, a makeup sponge would be ideal. I did a base coat of the clear varnish then two coats of the base (white) colour. Then I painted a line of the white and a line of the purple onto a little sponge and dabbed it onto the nail. The two colours will blend them-self creating a really easy ombre. Then after a few seconds apply the top coat which helps blend the two colours together even more and adds shine. I love this BarryM topcoat it makes any polish last ages!

My sponge is really a random bit of foam. ;)

I'm really happy with the finished look, I cant wait to try it with other colour combinations (maybe something a little more bold).

 Let me now what you think! 

Until next time...

Tatty bye!
