MAC LipGlass in Morange

Morange

Summer is practically peeking round the corner, flip-flops and ice-cream in hand…which can really only mean one thing. Summer Makeup. A fast favourite of mine for beachy days and balmy eves, is a gorgeous popping pout. Perfect for this is MAC's ever popular Morange lipstick, which is such a beautiful and captivating bright Orange, and I chose to pick up a Morange Lipglass, which is a sensual, saturated gloss in the same colour.

Rihanna for Viva Glam

Viva Glam Packaging

With all of the selling price going towards helping Men, Women and Children who are suffering with HIV/AIDS, this concept by MAC not only looks good, but it does a lot of good too. This time, (no doubt influenced by her extremely popular sell-out collaborations with MAC just recently), the Viva Glam campaign is fronted by the effervescent sensation that is Rihanna.

NEW| Bad Girl RiRi Lipstick PLUS Dupe

'Bad Girl RiRi' is one of the three shades of lipstick Rihanna created for her latest holiday collaboration with M.A.C. I luckily managed to pick up one of this shade, which is unlike any other colour in my lipstick collection; a dark rose gold/brown/nude with a matte finish.

As you can see the packaging is superb, almost reason enough to buy one (okay probably my main reason), but the colour, texture and quality of the product itself was very pleasantly surprising.

On the Lips

As you can see on the lips, is it a mix of browns and deep rose gold, which turns out, is bloody flattering, especially with a tan or darker skin tones.

I love this, I hear you say…but it is sold out EVERYWHERE, so why are you teasing me?

Well girls, I have found the most incredible dupe for this colour, with the same matte finish and everything. Total excitement. I also love having a dupe of limited edition colours, for when I go out and don't want to end up losing it (extreme possibility).

Twig. Twig by M.A.C. That is the secret answer, despite flash making it look slightly glossy in the pics below (it's not), it is almost a double take, and I just couldn't be happier to have found it.

As you can see it's a pretty damn close match, and the texture (gorgeous creamy matte), is spot on too. So if you didn't managed to get your paws on Miss.Fenty's colab action with M.A.C, then definitely give this a go, because it's beautiful.

Side by Side

They look slighty different shades above (due to extra usage of Twig), but had I waited and shown you them both unused, they would be pretty much twins. I can never wait…

This colour is perfect for a sexy new look this January!!

Lots of Love,

*NEW VLOG* Fall Faves '13

It's been a while since I did a Vlog, but returning from my video making hiatus, I have come back with some Autumn/ Fall favourites that I am loving! I hope you like it, and if you want to see more, don't forget to subscribe to my channel :),


 



Lots of Vlogging Love,

M.A.C Eyeshadow in Cranberry

Cranberry Shadow

The Colour

On the Skin

I love this shade! It is so Autuminal and gorgeous, I love to mix it with a brown to create an alternative to a black smokey eye. It's also going to be so so perfect for the festive season, I can't wait to get into the spirit of things with this super hot shade.

The above shade on the skin, is applied over shadow primer, and really demonstrates the impressive pigmentation, and labyrinth of colour within. It is super flattering on Brown and Green eyes, (but you could definitely work it into a Blue eyed look...).

If you would like to see it on the eye, or want to request any looks, I would be more than happy to oblige!

Lots of Love,

RiRi for M.A.C Fall '13

RiRi for MAC Fall '13

I was a huge fan of the RiRi for M.A.C collection prior to this, so I couldn't resist picking up a few bits (mainly because of the AMAZING packaging). I decided on another RiRi Woo, (I adore this retro matte shade, a favourite from her first collection), Who's that Chick Lipstick and RiRi Woo Lip Liner.

RiRi Woo Lip Liner

Woo for the Win, a Liner of Gods

I adore this liner, it is so creamy and easy to apply, as well as being the perfect blue red shade of RiRi Woo, which is extremely wearable and very flattering.

The above looks demonstrate the easiness of application, making sure that your lipstick not only doesn't bleed and lasts longer, but that it looks flawless too.

Close Up - On the Lip

As you can see, the combo of the RiRi Woo liner and lipstick, create a flawless beautiful, blue-red lip. Perfect for chilly Autumn days and Fiery Christmas nights.

Who's that Chick is a frosty Orange. It just sizzles and shimmers in a flattering red-orange, which compliments a tan and darker skin tones beautifully. For a really dramatic look, you can actually do as Rihanna herself and line your lips with RiRi Woo before application, for a modern and bold lip. Gorgeous.

With Flash

The above application is a pretty light one, and with no liner. If you would like to see it heavily applied or as I said above, with the RiRi Woo liner, just pop me a comment and i'll be happy to oblige.

This Autumn (Fall for you American Types...) collection by Rihanna for MAC, is yet another stand out triumph. I don't think this will be the last you hear of this pairing either, so watch this space.

Lots of Love,
