MAC Lipstick in Hue

This is one of my favourite Mac Lipsticks, it's perfect for when you're on the go as you won't have to be careful when applying it, which helps when your in a rush- believe me. 

As you can see in the picture above it's a lovely pink toned nude, i wear this and the Clinique Chubby in Heaping Hazelnut everyday really.

The only problem is that it does pick up on dry skin on your lips if they are extremely dry but other than that I absolutely love it.  Its in glaze finish. If you would like to see a dupe, then let me know in the comments :)

Here is a link where you can go to buy this lipstick, it costs £15.

Nude lipsticks are my favourite at the moment and I would love to try some new ones if you have any recommendations.

Jelly Pong Pong Lip Glosses

These are lip glosses from the brand Jelly Pong Pong. They come in the most adorable tubes that aren't that big but packaging and the lip glosses are lovely! 

I first applied the lipgloss like this as the applicator isn't there and you have to squeeze it either onto your lips or onto your finger and then apply it like that, which isn't exactly the most hygienic way to apply it.

This is the the gloss rubbed on and evenly applied. This is the shade; 'Muffin' & smells divine. Which is out of the pink tube.

This is the shade 'Cherry Meringue' Which is a little darker than Muffin but I wouldn't exactly call it a dark lipgloss its just a pleasant pink.

This post is probably for the younger readers as I don't think its for people in the age range of 18 onwards, however if you do love little lip glosses that taste beautiful then Jelly Pong Pong is your place to go.

Wishlist #1

This is a bonus post as I usually post every other day but I just want everything at the moment and thought it would be nice to share it with you!

1. Can we just take a moment appreciate this gorgeous spring collection from Yves Saint Laurent! Normally I don't go for bright pink lips as i'm more of a nude/vampy kind of person- but this collection is STUNNING! & how good does Cara Delevingne look. 

2. I've wanted so many items from Topshop, however i'm having trouble saving the photos in good quality so i'm going to leave links to a couple of pieces I wouldn't mind having.

Snake Coin Bag- I believe this would be a wardrobe staple. It's so different & I wouldn't have my boyfriend moaning about how I have so many bags the same. The price isn't bad at all either at just £20. 

Embossed Check Crossbody Bag- I'm going bag crazy this week, I love my accessories and this is so different. It looks so casual but still eye-catching, I'd love to use this bag on a shopping trip with my friends as it isn't heavy at all. The price is steep for what it is at £40. 

3. Again problems with getting a decent picture. I've been scouring the internet for a good gloppy fedora for the summer as I believe they can really make an outfit & i'm so happy to have found one that I love. It's called the Black Oversized Floppy Fedora. 

I ordered a couple of items off Topshop after the sales if you would like to see a haul comment here or like the post on Blog Lovin'. 

Thanks

Benefit Dallas Bronzer

This is my little sister Penny, she is modelling Dallas that I have used as a contour. I don't neccessarily have many bronzers so I felt that I needed this in my collection especially as Benefit is my favourite make-up brand and has been for many years. I think its a lovely colour and isn't too dark, i feel you can use it as a natural contour or bronzer.

I am really happy with this bronzer as it is the right tone for both mine and Penny's faces' and we aren't exactly the most tanned of people. It doesn't have any glitter within it either so you can wear it as a natural bronzer or as a contour all over your face. Next time your at a Benefit counter have a look!

This retails for £23.50 and you can buy it here.

I've got many Benefit posts on the way so make sure that your subscribed to my blog then you won't miss them.

Christmas & New Year sales! (Beauty)

This is the first year where I was stalking the sales on both clothes websites and make-up sites. Here are  a couple of items that I bought with Christmas money. I only bought a couple of items from Beauty Bay. As i've explained to you I fell ill and this means that I straggle to go on a proper shopping trips, i'm sure there are many other people in the same place. Enjoy.

URBAN DECAY- Black Market, 24/7 Glide-on Eye Pencil Set 

This set is travel size of the 24/7 Glide-on Pencils, it includes 5 exclusive new shades. I think this set is great for a beginner in make-up. As i've only had the full size black 24/7 liner its great to test out different colours. 

Here are swatches of each colour in order of how they are in the packet. 

West, Desperation, Black Market, Riot, Apathy & Ink. 

Desperation is an unusual colour its like a muted grey- great for a smokey eye!

Riot is a beautiful colour a lovely vibrant purple, the picture washes out how lovely this colour is, it also include iridescent bits of glitter, it doesn't irritate my eye. 

Apathy, i'm not normally that much for green shades but this is a lovely khaki green and would look great for a different kind of smokey eye and will also make individuals who have brown eyes make their eye's pop!

Ink is also a lovely colour and contains bits of iridescent glitter that just add so much to the colour.

I'm extremely pleased with these colours, here is the link for where you can buy them. Their also good value for money as the whole pack is just £18.20.

Schwarzkopf OSIS- Dust it, Mattifying powder

This powder works as much as you back combing your hair, drop a light dusting of this powder at the roots and rub, this will give you a lot of volume. 

I was unable to find this product from where I bought it from, sorry. 

I have ordered a couple of items from topshop, if you would like to see what I got in the sales just leave me a comment. I'm still waiting for them to arrive.

BOBBI BROWN Caviar & Oyster Palette

 From the left: White, Sandy Pearl, Pink Opal & Grey Sky

From the left: Plum Steel, Pearl Oyster, Heather Grey & Rich Caviar

I bought this palette a couple of few weeks ago and to say the least i was pretty let down at the pay off with these Bobbi Brown eyeshadows and Sparkle (which i thought was a highlight). It was way to expensive when it was on the website however, i took a trip to Cheshire Oaks with my boyfriend and spotted it there, at a discounted price of £45. The pictures I have placed above are of all the eyeshadows in the palette. To be fair some colours are better than others and I have learnt to work with them, however I wish i had read some reviews so I knew what I was buying. For the price of £45 and you get 8 'high end' eyeshadows you can't really go wrong I just really wish there was better pay off.

Thank you for reading
