Another MAC lipstick

MAC lipsticks are my favourite lipsticks and are something in which I constantly have an ongoing wishlist of the ones I'm wanting. This is my 8th MAC lipstick and it was sort of a quick purchase. I was looking at which shades I though Sarah would like (blog here) as it was going to be a birthday present. When I came across this I really loved it and thought she would too so I sneakily popped two in my basket! This is the shade Mehr.

It's a matte shade which I'm not overly fond on but I do think the more recent ones I've purchased have been lots more creamier. The colour is so hard to describe, its in between a mauve pink and a berry colour. It's very similar to Twig but just has more pink and is a little more vibrant. 

What I love about this is that its great for daytime wear or night time which is great because its better value for money! I would definitely recommend if you like the whole Kylie Jenner lip colour but a touch more pink!

All about that gold highlight

While reorganising my make up collection I came across a few products that I forgot how much I used to love and wanted to use them a bit more or incorporate them into my every day routine. 

The Benefit beams and tints are products I have yet never use and I don't know why because I really love them! I think its just when you find something that you prefer you never seem to go back to what you originally used to love! I've been loving the weather recently and as I've been wearing self tan I wanted to bronze up my skin a little more while at the same time being dewy and having a highlight all in one. This product does this job perfectly! I've been doing my whole make up routine except for highlight and then 'drawing' this on the usual points I would highlight. I use quite a dense brush just to blur that into the skin so there's no harsh lines.

Over the top of Sun Beam I've been loving MAC's Soft and Gentle highlighter! I've been constantly using Mary Lou from The Balm so this hasn't been used much. But as Sun Beam is gold I had to apply a gold highlighter over the top. I like this one as it has just the right amount of glitter and it really does look good paired with the liquid highlighter. 

I feel like a golden goddess when sporting these two together and couldn't wait to tell you all about it!

Cheap Treat Tuesday - Make Up Gallery Blusher

I've tried a few products from Make Up Gallery which are sold in Poundland however I've never tried their blushers. When quickly running through this caught my eye and I picked it up without even swatching it. 

Its the most stunning every day colour blush, which actually isnt chalky like other cheap face products are! I find with some cheap branded make up items its hit and miss and whereas the lip liners from the same range aren't very good this blusher is amazing! 

I got the shade Coral Rose 4 which is a gorgeous soft pink/ coral. It has no shimmer in which I like in a blush because I like to add the shimmer when I'm highlighting. Its very similar to Orgasm from NARS but obviously doesn't have the flecks of gold glitter. I also really like the packaging of this, its not too cheap looking and I don't think it will fall apart - unlike MUA! I like how its very sleek and for only £1 I think its brilliant! This also has Vitamin E in too.

When searching through my make up collection I noticed that this was so similar to this Kiko blusher that I already have. Literally the only difference is that the MUG one feels a tad chalky in comparison because the Kiko one is literally amazing quality!

MAC Eye shadow collection

Eyes and lips are my favourite thing to accentuate and play with in terms of make up! Over the past year I've been getting into more high end products so I thought I would share with you all my small MAC eye shadow collection.

When I made my first MAC eye shadow purchase I bought four and then the quad for them to go in. Shortly after I realised I had quite a long wishlist of MAC shadows that I was at some point going to purchase so I needed a bigger palette for them to live in! After seeing how expensive the 15 pan MAC ones were I opted for this cheapy from eBay which I've done a post all about!

I currently have 8 shadows which are all sort of similar but slightly different. I only tend to wear more neutral shades or soft shimmery pinks so where as my collection might look a bit colourless I didn't want to spend the money on something I would never use.

Top: Brule, Naked Lunch, All That Glitters, Jest.

Bottom: Wedge, Mulch, Satin Taupe, Saddle.

Brule is a matte very plain, light shade. I love this for all over the lid and sometimes underneath my brow bone. This looks great over the Paint Pot Painterly. 

Naked Lunch is a cult favourite in every bodies collection I'm sure however its not as pigmented as other shadows and I tend not to use it that often. As you can see in comparison to Jest it barely shows. This is a frost finish and I actually tend to use this more as a subtle highlight on my brow bone/ inner eye corner. 

All That Glitters is such a gorgeous shadow that's a firm favourite out of them all! It has a Veluxe Pearl finish as is more on the light coppery side rather than pink or champagne. If you're thinking about getting this, DO IT! It's worth every penny.

Jest is another shade that is a frost finish and is to my knowledge actually discontinued. I got this is an outlet otherwise I don't think I would or purchased it as it's pretty similar to Naked Lunch however I'm so in love with this. I don't think I've ever came across such a pigmented shadow ever. This looks good on its own, to highlight or all over the lid. If you have the Soap and Glory Palette its very similar to a shade in their!

Wedge is the shade I purchased to pair with Brule as their both matte. It's a soft brown that can be built up so its extremely versatile for day to night wear. I think this is a perfect shade for anyone to have in their collection, especially beginners. 

Mulch has a velvet finish and is more of a deeper brown than Wedge; it's also very pigmented so great more a smoky eye!

Satin Taupe- another favourite in everybody's collection and especially mine. This is such a unique shade and in my recent Urban Decay Cream Shadow post its pretty similar to that! It's a silvery brown that just gives a little wow to the eyes. This is perfect for night time wear and looks stunning especially with that silver and purple shades within. This has a frost finish.

Saddle is the final shade I own and is a matte. This shade is so heavily pigmented and creamy and is exactly the same shade as Bobbi Browns's Camel shadow. I find this the perfect transition colour or perfect for all over the lid for a little something different.
