MAC's Pink Nouveau

MAC's Pink Nouveau was a complete on-a-whim purchase for me. I had gone in to get another Créme Cup and they were all out at the Liverpool store so I thought f*ck it, I'm on a pink journey lately so I'll buy the pinkest lipstick I can find and here we are!

MAC's satin formula never failed to amaze me. It's thick but nowhere near as thick as Illamasqua lipsticks. It's completely moisturising and it stays on my lips for a good few hours. It's a perfect lipstick. It's nowhere near matte but it's nowhere near a sheen supreme either... it's at that perfect place in the middle!

It's definitely a pink with blue undertones which makes your teeth look a lot whiter. 

It also transfers a lot lighter on the lips, I find.

 If you're looking for a Barbie pink... this is it!
Buy it online for £13.50 or in your nearest store!

All About Me.

All About Me was my third lipstick from Topshop. I'd lusted over it for a while but I wanted Brighton Rock more and then I wanted to buy a few nudes and I loved the look of Nevada *wish I'd bought this one instead*...

It is definitely the most vivid and yet the deepest lipstick I've come across after MAC's Girl About Town. It's a blue toned pink that makes your teeth glow white.

I'm very pale so it stands out like crazy. I think it'd suit all skin types as long as you dare to wear it!

The Topshop lipsticks are amazing to me as they're quite matte which I love. Their texture is lush and they're quite thick so one swipe would do!

It does stain a little so you have to scrub a little harder to get it off your lips but it's worth it if it lasts all day, right?

I think so.

9/10 for me! 

It's scored down because it does cling a little to dry bits so I have to keep on top form with moisturising my lips!

It's a Scandal!

It really is a Scandal how much I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this lipstick.

I cannot believe I spent so long in Selfridges ummming & ahhhing over getting this. It's amazing! If you're a gigantic matte lipstick fan like me... you will love this. It's matte, it's thick. One swipe and you're done. You can even see how thick it is from the heart I drew above.

 Illamasqua are easily the best at designing their packaging. I love the logo, the shape of the packaginge, the look and I love where they've placed their name. I can't fault the design at all. Sometime I hate the name label on the bottom too but I have no quips about theirs.

Scandal itself is a yellow-based pink and is such a sweet, candy colour. It's very vivid on the lips and is a definitely show stopper so I tend to wear it with a very minimilistic eye otherwise my whole face would be in hooker mode!

To be honest... I barely wear this... not because it's horrible but because it was so expensive... at £15.50, I want it to last!

I will definitely buy more of their lipsticks though! They're my ideal finish & texture.

I also love Illamasqua for catering to the freak in all of us! Their make up looks and ad campaigns are amazing.

It's a shame they don't sack/fire that snooty madam in Manchester Trafford's Selfridges though. She's so rude. Only negative!
