Mac Wishlist

Any person out there who loves makeup will at least once lust over Mac products, me I know its all the time! But you just automatically know they are going to be amazing quality and do the job it says it will, as the brand is specifically tailored to make makeup for makeup artists. So as I am always looking on Mac's website I thought I'd do a little wishlist showing you what I want right now from Mac, but I'm sure this list will change in a day or two!

1. So first is a Mac paint pot, and cream eyeshadows are my favourite thing by far so quick and easy to apply in the morning and can create a great base. Which is why I really want this paint pot in Painterly. Its long wearing, highly pigmented and has a seamless coverage which helps for a perfect base. So many youtubers have used this product in Painterly and other shades like Bare Study and raved about it so much It just hurts knowing its not in my collection!

2. Mac have come out with 15 shade palettes now which makes life so much easier! I've always wanted to make my own Mac palette but ever have known what shades to pick, because when you go to the counters or online there are just way to many shades that I feel bombarded and inclined to get them all aha! Where as now there is a palette made with the best warm neutral shades! The top row of shades, especially the last 3, are so beautiful I just need it now!

3. Its all about that brow game! Over the past couple of months I have been really getting into doing my brows, I've only ever used 1 product for it and I feel like I want to expand my horizons with it a little. So from Mac I would love Waterproof Brow Gel which is to define brows and put them into shape. It has a non-greasy formula with six new hues to match any hair colour. This is just a quick and easy way to make your brows look good when in a rush!

4. Obviously you can't have a Mac wishlist without having at least one of their lipsticks in there and I have 3! Its colour plus texture for the lips its what basically made M·A·C famous. So the first colour is Ruby Whoo which everyone has and my friend Courtney (who has a blog here!) and she really likes the colour and it goes with anything and lasts for agess! Next is Heroine which is a bright purple shades and Fresh Brew as I really want to try a nude colour.  

5. Blending is my favourite part of doing my eyeshadow so of course when looking at Mac products which have amazing brushes imma get one! So this brush is the 286 brush which has a soft dome shape, two-toned, duo-fibre brush of goat and synthetic fibres. What I want it most for is how it gives you a controlled application of Eye Shadow.

6. So Mac have come out with a perfume and I didn't know till the other day when I smelt it my god its beautiful! They have different sizes you get get it in as well as a roller ball. The perfume features anemone, lotus, orris and Corsican blue cedar, and I don't know what half of that is but I'm telling you it smells good! 

So let me know below what you guys what from Mac! Hope you have enjoyed reading and see you in ma next post!

Avon Ultra Colour Absolute Lipstick In Smooth Plum - Review!

Today's blog post is going to be on a review of the Avon Ultra Colour Absolute Lipstick which is in Smooth Plum! My Nan actually got this for me as she lives near an Avon seller and she knew I really wanted a dark purply pink lipstick! So there are 10 different shades in this collection of lipstick. They are described as on the website as - A rich colour and deeply moisturising lipstick, that keeps caring, even after you've taken it off. Rich, intense colour that cares, with Collagen, Vitamin E, Vitamin C, phytol and SPF 15. 

So the first thing you see even before the lipstick itself is the packaging! For me the packaging isn't too much of a big deal and don't mind what it looks like as long as the product is good on the inside! However I do like the packaging on this! It is all plastic which is okay but it doesn't look bad, I like the pink base and the clear tinted lid so you can see the colour inside. Plastic packaging sometimes can be a bad idea ask it can break easy if dropped, but this is surprisingly tough! I am a very clumsy person and have already dropped it on my wooden floor and did not break even scratch!

When applying the lipstick it is very smooth and creamy, but not overly creamy! It is easy to apply and you don't need to keep applying to get an deep colour that's not sheer. Its very opaque the first time you put on which is a plus! As its a dark colour you obviously have to be careful when applying to make sure you don't go over your lip line and make it look messy! So I would suggest using a lip liner or a lip brush so you can get it on point ;)

The colour especially for this shade is just heaven! If you are looking for the perfect grudge colour that still is girly with the hint of pink in there which tones it down then this is for you! You can also see in my swatch above that there is a little bit of shimmer which doesn't over power! I have worn this so many times too edge up a look, but the colour can also be worn sophisticatedly too! Its a versatile colour which which can be dressed up or down! The colours do look a lot different from what they do in the Avon book and website so be warned about that! These are all the different colours and you can see the smooth plum looks a lot more pinky purple on my swatch to the picture!

The lasting power of the lipstick isn't the greatest unfortunately, if you eat and drink with it on it will come off straight away. Although if you wear it out and don't drink or eat it will last a good few hours before the middle starts to fade away. However, when it does it leaves a nasty line round your lips which does look a little weird and my friends laughed at me ;) Its not a good look so if you can when wearing it touch it up as much as your can to avoid the lines!

Overall I really love this lipstick even though it doesn't last as long as I would like but that shouldn't stop you from buying it as the colours and the feel of the lipstick is what makes them amazing! What else is great is that the lipstick has SPF in which is very important to have! A lot of people don't this but your lips are also very sensitive to the sun and can get damaged like your skin. The sun ages skin and your lips, the SPF keeps your lips feeling and looking healthy and vibrant! Also not putting protection on your lips can increased risk of getting skin cancer or another skin conditions! 

The price of these are £8, which is okay I guess considering that many other drugstore lipsticks range from £4 to £12. Avon is a great place to get makeup or any beauty products from as they always have special deals, with money off or buy one get one half price and so on! I'll have the link to the lipstick below if you are interested of buying and I hop you enjoyed reading my review and if you have any extra comments on this product let me know in the comments below! Oooh that rhymed ;) 

So until next time have an awesome amazing day...

The Lipstick Tag!

So not so long ago I got tagged by the lovely Courtney from Wonders Of Dream Blog! So definatly go check her blog out, follow and tell her I sent you ;) Eheh so onto the tag, I haven't done one like this before so I'm pretty excited! I wear lip gloss more than lipstick but Courtney's soo nice she said that I can add some of them in too, but these are glosses that give lots of colour and are not sheer ones. 

How Many Lipsticks Do You Own???

24 I think I counted I'm not to sure ahah...

7 from MUA, 2 from Barry M like ages ago, 2 from No7, 4 chubby sticks from Ted Baker, 4 lip crayons from 17, 3 Intense Kisses Lipgloss from MUA, Nivea Pearl Shine, and a random black one from god knows where aha!

What Was The First Lipstick You Owned??

Most probably one from Miss Sporty when I was about 8ish and I only wore it on special occasions ;) I also think that was my first ever bit of makeup too, which I think I got for Christmas in a little set!

What Is Your Favourite Lipstick Brand???

Cause Im a cheap skate I would say MUA, their main collection of lipsticks are only £1 like how can you get any better than that! The colour pay off is great and they last a long time for the price that you pay. As well as that they have different types of lipsticks you can get (I really want to try some from the Luxe collection) And they also have a wide range of colours for every person. 

These are my MUA ones not too sure what shades they are in but if you would like to know then gimme a shout and I'll find out! Also I got three new ones which I'm super excited to use for the summer!

What Is Your Most Worn Lipstick??

I think it would have to be these bad boys which are the Ted Baker chubby sticks. I got them in a Christmas set 2 Christmas' ago from boots and they do them every year in different colours. To be fair they are just the same as the clinque ones there is no difference, the colour pigmentation is about the same and the lasting quality is too. They work in the same way with the little twisty thing at the bottom to get the product out, and trust me there is a lot of chubby stickiness there ;) 

What Is your Favourite Red Lipstick??? 

Well who do you guys think its by?? ;) ahah you guessed it MUA there red lipstick in shade 13 i think! Is the only red lipstick I have so it has to be my favorite!

What Is your Favourite Finish??

Shine or gloss, really anything thats not matte... sorry Courtney ;) 

How Many Lip Products Do You Have In Your Bag???

None really if I was wearing a lipstick that day I would just put it on in the morning then just let it wear off. Im too lazy to put it back on aha. 

How Do You Store You Lipsticks??

I store them in my second draw in my dressing table. I put in this draw my face products so foundation, concealers, powders, blush and bronzers. As well as one tray full of my lip glosses, chubby sticks and lip liners then to the left I have my lipsticks which I have put upside down so I can see the colours.

Which Lipstick Are You Currently Lusting For???

Well I think any girl who loves makeup wants a Mac lipstick, this is something I am not only just lusting for I am craving and would die for! The colour I think I'm going to buy first would be Mac rebel!
