MAC | SWEET & SOUR

Have I not mentioned my love for this shade of lipstick by MAC? It's named Sweet & Sour and you can see it in all of it's glory from these swatches here. I know it is Autumn and that is screaming the dark shades to make an appearance but part of me is still stuck in the Summer - but let's be honest that really wasn't long ago so I think that's why I'm having a hard time adjusting.

But despite all of that, it is a cremesheen finish which is my favourite due to it being easy to apply and moisturising to the lips. As for the colour, it is a gorgeous pale peach which looks amazing with a bronzed up look and a neutral smokey eye! So for all of you girls and guys out there who are still missing those summer vibes or just looking for a perfect peach tone then Sweet & Sour is the key to your heart.

Have you tried this shade by Mac? What are your thoughts?

BOURJOIS | BLUSHERS

Today's post is all about blushers. I have quite a few, but I also tend to either go for something sparkly pink or coral. Everyone has their preferences and I am just drawn to those shades. However, I couldn't help but think yesterday whilst I was applying my make up that the blushers I always reach for are the brand Bourjois. I think it is time to experiment and purchase some blushers from Mac, Benefit, Nars etc but I wanted to express why I love Bourjois blushers so much.

From left to right; 34 Rose d'Or, 48 Ashes of Roses, Cream Blush Sun 06, Cream Blush 03.

To start with, there is a wide variety of shades I think on the Boots website there is at least 20 shades to choose from which is great and not to forget to mention, these blushers smell amazing. You might be thinking that is so odd!!! But most of Bourjois products have a floral or fruity smell to them which definitely wins me over. The packaging is adorable and vintage looking as well as being compact. The mirror and small brush are ideal for placing this product in your make up bag for on the go! As for the quality, these blushers are round £8.00 but I think that's brilliant considering they are very pigmented and long lasting. My favourite is 34 Rose d'Or because of it's gold mineralised flecks - it gives a gorgeous pink glow. I've been repurchasing this product since I was 15, I'm now 20... so 5 years of loving this product.

I will continue loving and reaching for these blushers continuously - you should try them too!

Have you tried any of their blushers?

A Christmas Wishlist | SELFRIDGES

Don't threat too much guys, you'll read this and think "It was halloween a few days ago..." or "christmas is still almost 2 months away" but I love Christmas. So. Much. It is my favourite holiday, not purely just the gifts, but waking up on Christmas day to a fresh crisp morning, the smell of dinner already on the go and spending that day with family and friends. In the UK it is the one holiday were it is really family orientated in my opinion. My mum keeps nagging me for a list, not everything I will see sight of, obviously but she can choose a few items for me! I decided to just browse on Selfridges as everything they have on there I just lust over.

1. Urban Decay VICE 4
2. NYX - Sydney
3. NARS Creamy Radiant Concealer - Vanilla
4. NYX Concealer Palette - Light
5. Ted Baker Earrings
6. Origins Ginzing Moisturiser
7. GIORGIO ARMANI - Si
8. Yves Saint Laurent Mascara
9. Lindt Assorted Chocolate

Hopefully this can help you think of something for friends/family or even for yourself! What are you hoping santa brings you this year?

MORPHE 35N PALETTE

& finally, it is mine! Just look at how incredible each shade is and just think about the numerous of wonderful looks you can create with this palette.  

 Everything about this palette is matte, no shimmer. I do love a bit of shimmer but a matte look is what I prefer in my opinion, especially on a day to day basis. This only cost me £15.95 and I googled the swatches, watched heaps of youtube videos on the looks you can create, and it is so incredibly pigmented! One Mac eyeshadow isn't far off the price of this whole palette and there is no faults with it. The colours also scream autumnal. The palette offers so much versatility. You can create a simple nude look or a sultry smokey eye, it is never ending.

I can not wait to try out many looks, so keep posted for them and of course, go purchase your own here - you will not regret it.


Have you tried any of Morphe's products? If so let me know.

RECENT BEAUTY HAUL

I have been in need of retail therapy, which is probably all the time, in actual fact it is all the time! But there is nothing better than treating yourself to a few new purchases right? I am one of those people that tend to look at reviews but that only applies if it is a high end product. All of the items above I have read great things about. As for the Mac foundation - that is my holy grail - I had to include as it is my favourite foundation.

I have combination skin which is such a pain as I see my skin being greedy! But I've realised that a setting spray is the way forward. So I decided to purchase Urban Decay's De Slick specifically for controlling that oil! So I am excited to see if it does keep it set.

Rimmel London Fix & Perfect Primer, it's aim to do many wonderful things and it definitely does them all. I have been wearing this under all sorts of foundations that I own and I have to say it is brilliant. I used to use Smashbox and that was so pricey but this one, does the exact same for such a cheap price!

Bobbi Brown LongWear Gel Eyeliner, only got to use this once so far - however it's not as black as I thought it would be...don't get me wrong I adored it the first time I have used it, but maybe I need to layer it up more, what are your thoughts?

Urban Decay Lipstick - Native, if you love a pink shade like I do, I suggest you add it onto your wishlist ASAP. This is my first lipstick from Urban Decay and oh wow, it is good. I think I am more impressed with it, than I am with MAC, I'm not sure yet. What are some other shades that you all love from Urban Decay?

Urban Decay Eyelash primer - Subversion,  my last item which I can not get enough of. I have long eyelashes but they do not hold a curl at all. However a coat of this and your favourite mascara it's a solved puzzle.

Have you tried any of these products? What are your thoughts?
