Top 5 MAC Lipsticks

Recently I have been building my collection of MAC lipsticks. Because I have so many I think I should share with you my top five.

My top five lipsticks range from nudes to purples and it will definitely have a shade suitable for the time of year you are reading this post. 

I have recently been loving MAC lipstick; I love all of the formulas because each one provides a different finish and I'm glad that I have a wide enough range to pick one out for different occasions. 

 

The colours from left to right are: Shy Girl, Angel, Lustering, Lickable and Rebel.

Shy Girl

Shy girl is one of my all time favourites. The formula of this lipstick is perfect and glides on without imperfections.

It is a peachy nude colour with specks of gold meaning it is very warming on the lips. It is part of the creme-sheen collection meaning it is slightly glossy but not too overpowering. It is a perfect nude for all skin types!

The colour pay-off is an opaque, natural nude with a slight glossy finish - perfect to pair with a smokey eye or heavy top makeup.

However, this lipstick does not go well on  chapped lips as it clumps on the dry patches. So make sure you exfoliate your lips before use. This makes it apply more smoothly and look more sleek.

Overall, I would recommend this for anyone with the need of a quick fix throughout the day and those who want natural looking nude lips without the drying matte finish.

Angel

Angel is another one of my most used lipsticks. It it in the formula 'frost' which means it has a pearly shine which makes it glisten on the lips.

The coverage is sheer when first applied but it can be built up to a lovely baby pink colour. It is a very wearable lipstick for everyday and that is probably why it is one of MAC's best selling lipsticks.

Angel is a nude pink with a lilac undertone, in my opinion I think it looks better on paler skin and it will look washed out on more tanned skin.

Perhaps if you have darker skin tone, then putting a brighter gloss over the top might make it more suitable, but all in all; if you like pink nudes, you will love this lipstick as it is a very classic, easy to wear, baby pink colour; perfect with any makeup look.

Lustering

I love Lustering. It is a watermelon pink colour, perfect for spring. It is a bright colour without looking overly bold and too out there.

The lustre formula makes it very creamy and moisturising and it is perfect with any skintone.

I love wearing this lipstick as a statement lip as I think it has the perfect amount of colour. The colour is very build able and you can choose the intensity you would like, depending on where you are going.

The only downside to this lipstick is that it doesn't have a very good staying power and it needs to be reapplied after eating and drinking. However this is not a problem to me and reapplying does my bother me.

Lickable

Lickable was the first lipstick I ever bought from MAC, and one of the best. 

It is my favourite formula; creme-sheen which provides a glossy finish like Shy Girl. 

Lickable is a bright blue-toned pink which means it makes teeth look whiter when applied. It looks a lot like Girl About Town however it is lighter and contains a little bit of shimmer. 

This is one of the most long lasting lipsticks I have ever worn which is perfect for long busy days, and it even survives food and drink with no excess on the glass or cutlery.

I love how it is very wearable during all seasons and can look very suitable at all occasions.

This is the perfect hot pink colour for anyone in need of something more interesting and brighter than the average nude. This is why it's in my Top Five!

Rebel

Rebel is my all time favourite MAC lipstick. I love the dark vampy colour which makes it perfect for the winter months.

Rebel is a cream dark plum colour with a satin finish. It is the only lipstick I own with a satin finish and I really like the way it looks.

Definitely don't be put off by the look of it in the packaging, because it looks very different once it has been swatched, lighter and more like the plum colour MAC describes. 

Me and my friend both bought this at the same time last winter and we are both so glad we did! I will defiantly be repurchasing it once it runs out as it a a staple product during the colder months.

All of the MAC lipsticks I have shown smell like vanilla which is a bonus when applying it.

They all retail at £15.00 and can be purchased in a few places. 

They all come in the legendary black and silver bullet shape as they are all permanent shades.

Do you own any of these lipsticks? If so leave a comment to tell me what you think of them and let me know which  ones you think I should try out.

Hope you enjoyed my first blog post and hopefully I will continue to do more in the future.

Bye!

Favourite Beauty Products

1. Maybelline 'The Falsies' Mascara

I love this mascara because it really opens up my eyes. I have been using this a lot recently because I really love how it thickens and lengthens my eyelashes at the same time. I really like the packaging and the applicator is really good because it is very flexible le which means it gets to the smaller and thinner lashes. It doesn't go clumpy which is another bonus because it looks very precise and neat.

As you can see I have used this a lot and all the writing has worn off. Hopefully the picture is good enough for you!

2. Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer

I have loved this concealer since I first started wearing makeup. It is very cheap which means it isn't such a splurge when I run out. There isn't much of a colour range but luckily the middle colour matches me perfectly. It is very high coverage and can be used anywhere on your face because it is not shimmery. I mainly use it under my eyes to even out the colour.

The writing has also worn off this one, but that is expected of this concealer. The writing wears off upon four tries unless you are careful!

3. Nars 'Laguna' Bronzer

I recently got this bronzer for Christmas and I really love it. It is very pigmented so you don't need a lot to get a good amount on your face. The colour is also really good, not too dirty and not to orange. The slight shimmer makes it perfect for any time of the year to structure and warm your face up.

4. Urban Decay NAKED Basics Palette 

From left to right: venus, foxy, w.o.s, naked 2, faint, crave.

This is my number one palette; I use it everyday. Although I don't get much wear out of some of the colours, others I couldn't live without! I love the mirror which makes it easier to travel with.

Venus is a highlighting colour which I uses to highlight under my brows and my inner corner. I sometimes use it to highlight my cheekbones aswell.

Foxy is a yellow nude colour, but I don't use it that often. The only time I use it is when I use it as an under eye powder because the colour cancels out the blue/purple.

W.O.S is the colour I use the least. If I do use it, I swipe it across my lid for natural, everyday look.

Naked 2 is the colour is use in my crease for an everyday makeup look. It is a natural looking shadow so is not too bold.

Faint is my most used colour. I use it everyday to fill in my brows as it is the perfect colour. I also use it in my crease on a special occasion as it is bolder than just the Naked 2.

Finally, I use crave to define my eyes; on my lash line. It is less harsh than an eyeliner which is why I like it and it can also be smudged out for a smokey eye.

5. Rimmel 'Wake me up' Foundation

I have been loving this foundation really because it is a very natural looking foundation with a medium colour which makes it perfect for spring and summer. It has a really nice scent which makes me want to wear it. The colour 'Ivory' matches me perfectly and the slight shimmer in it brightens my face and shines in the sun.

Another thing I love about this foundation is it's pump applicator as it is easy and dies not go everywhere. It is also much more hygienic.

6. Tressesme Shampoo and Conditioner

I have had this shampoo and conditioner set for a while and I have really been loving it recently. It makes my hair feels so soft and smell lovely. The shampoo lathers up really well so you don't need much and the conditioner really thickens your ends and makes your hair shiny and smooth. Plus, once used it, your hair doesn't go oily straight away and you can leave it about two days unless your hair can stay for longer!

7. 'See' by Chloe Perfume

I have really been loving this perfume recently. It is a really fresh and floral scent for spring.

I am not amazing at describing scents so here is the official description.

'A floral fragrance that playfully blends sensual notes of sandalwood and vanilla.

Like a sweet smile, the first sparkling notes of bergamot stir the senses.

The spirit floats on apple blossom and jasmine caresses.'

I am really loving this perfume at the moment and I am wearing it everyday. It lasts for a long time so no need to keep topping it up and using it quicker.

Thankyou for reading today's blog post and I will see you again tomorrow!

Friday Lunch Out

As it's Good Friday, we decided to go to our Auntie and Uncles so we could all go out for lunch at a nice pub.

The walk up there is very long but it is really nice to spend some time with the family as we don't see them that often!

Although very long, the road is full of countryside and animals and I have got lots of photos of my family to share with you!

Two cousins speeding off...! We had lost so much distance by the end! Soo far behind...

Isabelle the poser, love her I do :)

Isabelle and my favourite cousin!

Was such a lovely day today, so unlike the British weather but perfect for a family walk; not complaining!

We were so slow again so we took a shortcut, muddy but much quicker!

Loving this spring sun, what happened to April showers!

Stole Uncle Pauls sunglasses and selfie with my other cousin Nick... :)

This was really hard, there was no other way out, everyone was slipping down. Luckily we manged to get out otherwise we'd still be there!

On the walk, really good shot from Dad which is a change!

The woods were really nice!

Speaking of Dad, here are my gorgeous parents...

Not looking their best, but still perfect!

Can you escape jail? Ellie couldn't! Isabelle went to help but I ran away - what a good friend I am!

Hamster wheel, didn't attempt the 360 spin or someone would end up in hospital...

I love my bestfriend!

Left to right: Me, Ellie and Isabelle

The slides were so good, looked scary, but once on them they were amazing!

Thought this was a good action shot!

 

The flowers around the walk were so pretty we couldn't resist a picture! My two favourite girls!

Who hit the bottle first? Me of course but we will let Ellie think it was her!

'If it's not fun, your doing it wrong.'
