My Top 5 Mac Lipsticks

Without Flash

With Flash

Impassioned, Please Me, Morange, Hue & Girl About Town

Hey Lovelies! I've been wanting to do a 'Top 5' post of some kind for ages now and I thought what better way to start than with my beloved MAC lipsticks. If you read my blog regularly you will know by now that I class myself as a 'lipstick whore', which basically means I am addicted to buying and trying lipsticks. I'd say my beauty motto is definitely 'you can never have too many lippies'. I don't know what it is I love about them so much, maybe the array of pretty colours and the pretty packaging? Who knows, but MAC has to be my favourite brand for a blooming good lipstick. I currently own around 16 which may be a lot to some or not many too others. As much as I love them all, it was easy for me to pick my five faves. These five colours are the ones I use most from my whole collection. As you can probably tell from the above pictures, I'm a bit of a brights girl. 'Hue' is the one nude I really love as it isn't a in your face 'concealer lips' type nude. I despise that look which is maybe why I try and stay clear of a nude lip. 'Please Me' is a perfect day to day pink colour that can be worn during the day or at night time with a smokey eye. The other three colours I've included are very bright and bold but they are my favourites of all time. I don't think anything gives me more confidence when getting ready for a night out than a bright, bold lip. As you can see, each of the shades are an 'Amplified' finish meaning they have excellent colour pay off. I have used and abused these colours the most and will continue to for a long time. 'Impassioned' is a very bright fuchsia Pink, 'Morange' is a bright Orange and 'Girl About Town' is a slightly darker but still very bright berry pink. I'd say Girl About Town is my all time favourite MAC lipstick and the one I would reach for most often when getting glammed up for a night out. Theres something about it I just love and I find it makes my teeth look whiter too. I also want to add that I think the picture with a flash shows the colours most true to life as the picture without a flash has made them slightly more dull and pale than they actually are.

Overall, I adore all of these lipsticks and would recommend them to anyone who might be considering buying a MAC lipstick. Each of these lipsticks are priced at £13.50 which is pretty expensive, but in my opinion, they are worth every penny. They last for such a long time, are amazing quality, highly pigmented, creamy and just generally amazing. If you haven't tried one, please do, you won't regret it. I promise!

What are your favourite MAC lipsticks?

Lots of Love,

February Favourites

My first ever favourites post. I can't believe I haven't got around to doing one of these yet because I love reading them. Basically, the idea is to show a selection of products you've been loving/using most over the past month. So here is what I have been loving lately:


Garnier Mineral Ultra Dry Deodorant - This may seem like the most boring, silly thing to put in a favourites post as surely a deodorant is just a deodorant? Not this one. This is the most gorgeous smelling, long-lasting deodorant I have ever used. I have used this everyday throughout Feb and I am nowhere near the bottom of the can. I never thought I would find a deodorant I would want to 're-purchase' as I usually just grab the first one I see. However, I will definitely be going back to Superdrug for this when my can finally runs out.


St.Tropez Instant wash-off tan - This tan gives me a lovely golden brown colour and is easy to apply. The thing I like most about this is the fact it is instant. If I have forgot to do my tan before a night out, I can spray this on and still have a tanned glow to my skin. It is very easy to apply too. Spray onto the skin, rub it in with my tanning mitt and wallah, hello tan. I will be doing a full review with pictures of this soon so I won't say too much.


Juicy Couture 'Viva La Juicy' Perfume - I just had to include this in my favourites because it is the most gorgeous perfume ever. My blogs name is actually based on my love of Juicy Couture perfumes. I will be extremely gutted when I run out of this as it is very expensive and I normally only get expensive perfumes for birthdays/christmas. It has a sweet smell, which is my favourite kind, but it isn't overpowering. I also LOVE  the bottle. Anything with a big pink bow gets my vote straight away.


Aussie Dual Personality Heat Protection & Leave-In Spray - I love all of the Aussie hair care range as they smell lovely and actually work. I bought this in February as I needed a good heat protector to use with my GHDs. I have been using it most days since and it seems to be working. My hairdresser also told me Aussie is one of the best high-street brands as they don't contain harsh chemicals like some other high-street brands. This product leaves my hair smelling gorgeous and feeling soft. Again, I will go into more depth in a full review soon.


Sigma Kabuki Brushes - I did a post on these brushes I got for christmas a while ago now and I have been using them religiously ever since. The flat top kabuki is great for buffing my liquid foundation into the skin and the Angled kabuki is great for contouring. These brushes are fast becoming my favourites and are comparable in quality to MAC for half the price.


MAC 'Please Me' Lipstick - If you read my 'MAC Haul' post, you will see that I recently bought this lipstick. Since then, I have been reaching for it most days. It is a gorgeous pink shade that can be worn  everyday or in the evenings. As it is a matte formula, it is highly pigmented and the colour you see in the tube is a true reflection of the colour when applied to the lips.


Sleek Pout Polish in the shade 'Powder Pink' - I mentioned this product in my Sleek Haul a while ago and I am still loving it. It is a lip-conditioner that moisturises the lips and adds a lovely pink colour at the same time. I also love how shiny it looks on the lips. It gives a high-shine effect without the usual stickiness from a normal lipgloss. Perfect.


Blink & Go Mascara - I received this in my January Glossybox and I love it. It is one of the best mascaras I have ever used and I can't thank Glossybox enough for introducing me to it. Again, I am going to do a full review with pictures so I won't say too much but it is amazing and ranks top of my February favourites list.


Collection 2000 Extreme 24-hour eyeliner - Considering this is such a cheap product, it works brilliantly. This pen style eyeliner is so easy to use it is fool-proof. I am a bit clumsy when it comes to applying liquid liner but this makes the job so much easier. It is a deep, dark black and lasts all day.


MAC 'Woodwinked' eyeshadow - I think this eyeshadow will be featured in every months favourites post. It is my all time favourite eyeshadow and as you can see I have nearly run out. Again, expect a full review soon. All I will say for now is that this is the most beautiful golden/brown shade and it looks amazing with my blue eyes. LOVE it.


NARS 'Laguna' Bronzer - Again, I think this will have its place in my favourites category every month. It is the nicest bronzer I have ever come across and it gives my skin a lovely 'glow' without making me look orange. It is pricey but I will re-purchase this over and over again.

I hope you enjoyed reading my first favourites post. It was fun picking out my favourite products from the last month and I am definitely going to make my monthly favourites a regular post every month.

Which products made it into your February favourites?

Lots of Love,
