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!

My Travel Make Up!

Whenever I travel or just stay at my boyfriend's place... I just want to take all of my make up but it's just not possible. I did take my huge make up case to Mikey's once but it was sooo heavy and inconvenient.

So I went to Primark for the first time in April... yes, it really was the first time and I saw this really cute & huge polka dot cosmetic case and I knew I had to have it. It's not too big that it doesn't fit into my bags but I do carry huge bags...

 This is everything I carry... I don't usually carry Soap & Glory's Hand Food because I don't like it but I want to use it up!

This is all of my every day make up at the moment. My foundation will change from time to time and I'm finishing Bourjois' concealer and then going back to Collection 2000's as it so much better.

MAC's Girl About Town review!

I always look on the MAC website before I go into the store because I love to write a list of the colours that I'm attracted to so I can just ask one of the girls if they can give me advice on the colours and my skin tone!

I have bought a lot of nudes that make me look so dead. Now I just ask!

When I saw this colour... I almost licked the screen! It is so sexy and amazing!

It's a bright fuschia and as soon as I put it on... I feel a-m-a-z-i-n-g!

 It glides on so well! It's smooth and soft. It feels so moisturising as well! My boyfriend isn't a fan because it is hard to get off once it's on your lips so he avoids kissing me too much when I'm wearing it, lol.

It is a little pricey at £13.50 but I don't see the price tag when something makes me feel this good about myself.

I see it as an investment into many days of happiness and confidence.

This is one that I'll repurchase again and again!

What do we think... is it a little too bright for you or do you love it too?

Do we like my fringe/bangs?!

I've always had a fringe on and off since I was a little girl but I feel so chic with one so I figured it was time again!

I think it's a keeper for a while.

Pink Plaid by MAC

I've always been a HUGE fan of matte lipsticks. I love Revlon's Pink Pout and it's clearly a dupe for MAC's Pink Plaid.

This is going to be a shock to everyone but I absolutely hate the scent of MAC's lipsticks and at £13.50... I'd rather buy Revlon at half the price.

I saw this in the store when I went to Liverpool and I couldn't resist even though it seemed very familiar!

I have to admit though... I love this lipstick. I love the texture, the colour... I even ignore the smell easily because it makes me feel so good!

I still think the price tag is very steep but it was a gift to myself and I don't smend stupid amounts on make up that I won't use and I use this at least 3 times a week!

The only warning I have to give before applying matte lipsticks is to make sure your lips are moisturised, moisturised, moisturised! Matte tends to stick to all of the dry bits on your lips.
