MAC Glamour Daze Lipstick - Beauty

My best friend knows me soooo well and got me MAC Glamour Daze Beauty Lipstick for Christmas.  What a great present it was! 

MAC Glamour Daze Lipsticks are available in five shades: Beauty (pale cool pink), Dramatic Encounter (deep purple), Glamourdaze (mid-tone creamy plum), Innocence (soft coral), and Outrageously Fun (mid-tone magenta violet).

'Beauty' swatches as a warm baby pink hue with nude tones, perfect for those who like a nude hue with a bit of colour. The formula is very pleasing, perhaps one of my favourites from MAC as it glides on the lips effortlessly without clinging to dryness, leaving a wonderfully even finish.

MAC Lipstick - Pink Nouveau

I was soooo excited when I opened MAC Pink Nouveau on Christmas Day, I've been wanting this for ages.  Pink Nouveau is described by Mac Cosmetics as “Bright Pink” shade.  I would describe it as a cool-toned pink lipstick or Barbie pink.

Pink Nouveau has satin formulation, giving a medium to full coverage on your lips. This shade has been made MAC famous, and you may have seen this on many celebs before like Lady Gaga and Nicki Minaj.

Overall I love this colour, I am very fair and didn't think this was going to suit my skin tone as it was a cool-toned pink but it looked great! Somehow made my skin look warmer. 

MAC Lipstick - Pink Nouveau is available online and in-store at £14.00. 

MAC Lipstick - Snob

MAC Lipstick - Snob is one of MAC's bestsellers, it has a satin (opaque matte) finish. 

Satin finishes give a very good color-payoff, but I will need to use a hydrating  lip conditioner under it and a lip gloss on top of it to give it a more smooth finish. Snob is a very nice lady pink with a hint of lavender.   I find I get roughly 4-5 hours wear before I need to reapply.

It is a beautiful pop of pink that goes well with smokey eyes or a fresh day-time look.

MAC Lipstick - Blankety

Blankety is a beautiful nude, pale pinky lipstick. It glides on effortlessly and is creamy. I have been eyeing this lipstick for about 2 months now and have been debating whether to get it or not. So when my boyfriend offered, I couldn't resist.

Mac Blankety is an amplified formula, so it is very pigmented and stays on your lips for ages. I find this a little more glossy than the rest of the lipstick I have in this formula, but I am not complaining as this doesn't dry my lips out at all. This is a great nude for me as I find lipsticks like Hue or Creme De Nude really hard to wear and this is just so easy as its the little bit darker.

MAC Blankety is available at MAC Online £13.50

These are a few of my Favourite things - March 2012

It's the end of my 1st month blogging so I've decided to have a closer look at a few of my favourite products this month.

Fistly Garnier Ultra Softening Lotion - Shea Butter, a friend at work has been telling me about this body lotion and how soft it made her skin. So when it was on a special offer in Boots I decided to give it a go, each different scent depends on your skin type, it comes in aloe vera for normal skin, mango oil for dry skin, honey for sensitive skin and cocoa butter for dry and rough skin.

I went for Shea Butter (Dry to Extra Dry Skin). When applying the cream it didn't leave my skin tacky, it was very thin and extremely light. It smelt delicious and really did absorb instantly into my skin. I've been using this for about 5-6 days now and already I've noticed a difference, especially my elbows.

MAC Politley Pink is a slightly frosty shimmery pale pink which leans more to a cool-tone. I love this colour as I'm very pale and this lipstick is not too bright to wear as an everyday lipstick.

MAC All That Glitters Eyeshadow has got to be one of my favourite MAC eyeshadow, it is a gorgeous pinky colour with a beautiful golden undertone. It makes a great colour to go with everything.

Lastly N-Spa Brightening Day Cream with SPF15 & Nourishing Eye & Lip Treatment. N-Spa has launched a series of skincare spa-inspired products with high street price tags. With prices starting at £3.00, I had to give them ago. Brightening Day Cream is packed full of anti-ageing Vitamin E, the lightweight liquid sinks in and smoothes in seconds, while the SPF promises to shield skin from the sun.

Revlon Lip Butter - Strawberry Shortcake

I've finally got my hands on the new Revlon Lip Butter, two weeks after they were first launched. I looked everywhere! There are 14 shades in the UK but I've gone for Strawberry Shortcake.

Like all other Revlon Lipsticks, Revlon Lip Butter comes in a plastic qulited cover and the packaging matches the inside colour.

Strawberry Shortcake is a dusky pink that reminds me of MAC Angel, it's a universal colour that will suit everyone.

Even though it is described as a lipstick I found this to be more like a tinted lip balm. I would defiantly like to try others shades, it can be found in Boots £7.99.

Shop MAC Lipstick - Innocence, Beware

I've been trying to get MAC Innocence, Beware Lipstick since it was launched in February but everywhere was sold out. So when I popped to Bluewater, House of Frasier on Wednesday I couldn't resist on going over to the MAC counter to check. To my amazement it was there!!

Mac Innocence Beware lipstick is a re-launch it was originally released with the Disney Villains collection and is officially described as a light yellow pink which I think it's more a milky nude. Which is some what similar to many light nude shades Mac produce such as Creme D'nude. 

Like all MAC Lipsticks, this has a very light vanilla scent, which smells great.
