Mac "Brave" Lipstick *Review*

It’s time that I admit something to you all... I am now a lipstickholic. The last few weeks I have brought so many new lipsticks as well as lip products that it’s frightening! But what’s more alarming is that I’m going London soon and Mac is giving the university students 35% off for the day! Might as well increase my overdraft already.

With that being said, I’m writing this blog post about my new addition to my Mac lipstick collection. Say hello to ‘Brave’. I’d been eying up this bad boy for quite some time and when I found out I had to do a 60s inspired make-up look at uni then it was only right to finally buy this lipstick. I mean it would have been wrong of me not to have brought it when I needed it to create my 60s look (so I kept telling myself).

However, I am so happy I did buy it. It’s such a unique lipstick in my eyes because it looks different on everyone. Sometime it can look more brownish depending on your skin tone or even lilac again depending on your skin tone. It’s a satin lipstick which means it’s not matte and you won’t need to worry about it getting patchy and dry. It’s such a versatile lipstick which I believe any lipstick lover should have in their lipstick collection; especially if you’re not into bold, statement lips.

 

This lipstick can easily been worn in daytime with just a simple cat eye flick or go full out with a smoky eye, false lashes for a night out. Told you this lipstick’s versatile!   

What do you lipstick lovers think? You ever tried ‘Brave’? Let me know what other lipsticks you think I should try!

October Skin Care Favourites!

After looking back at all the posts I’ve posted in the past, I’ve realised that I’ve never posted anything like a monthly favourites or skin care favourites. The reason why I haven’t is because I’ve always done a monthly favourites on my Youtube channel but I’ve decided that every month, I’m going to pick 3 products which I’ve spoke about in my monthly favourites and do an  in-depth review about them on my blog! Starting now! So if you’d like to see more of this kind of blog post them make sure you leave a comment, letting me know.

The three products which I will be expressing my love for last month (October) are all skin care products. I said in my October favourites video on my channel that October was all about me trying to get better skin which meant trying new skin care products from cleansers, toners, face masks and even make-up removal products. As well as trying new products to help reduce my blemishes and redness I also made sure I’ve bee

n eating a lot more fruit/veg by drinking smoothies!

Super Facialist by Una Brennan (Neroli Firming Daily Brightening Cleanser)

I know, a bit of a mouthful to say, but so worth it. This cleanser is perfect for people who have sensitive skin (like me) because it gently removes make-up without you having to scrub your face vigorously. For me this product have been perfect as it’s really brightened up my face (because the weather is dull doesn’t mean your face has to as well). It’s also combined with Hyaluronic Acid which is known for hydrating the skin. Can easily be brought from Boots for £8 or if you’re lucky then try TKMax because I managed to buy mine for £4!  

Soap & Glory (No Clogs Allowed Face Mask)  

Easily one of the best face masks I’ve tried in a long time. Like I said in my October Favourites video, it’s a self heating, deep pore, detox mask which helps unclog your pours and helps remove excess dirt and oil. I’ve never normally been a fan of face masks which self heat because I always find them uncomfortable on my face because they seem to just get hotter and hotter. However, this face mask it gets to a certain warm temperature and just stays at that warmth. After washing the face mask off your face is left feeling smooth and clean (what more can you want from a face mask?).         

Clinique Anti-blemish Solutions (Clarifying lotion)

I might have mentioned about this toner in one of my older videos but last month I went to John Lewis and decided to repurchase this toner on the Clinique counter for £18. I remember when I started getting into skin care and realising that high quality toners weren’t as cheap as I would have liked but now I’ve come to the conclusion that when it comes to skin care sometimes you just have to spend a little bit more if you want better skin. I mean it is your skin after all and we really should look after it. So this toner isn’t cheap. However, it does work! 

Don't forget to leave a comment telling me what you guys think!! Also it would be amazing if you could give it a share and maybe a follow!

Halloween 2014!

I’ll start by saying I hope you all had a great Halloween this year! This year for me was the first time I actually decided to make an effort. So of course I decided to go with one of the gayest costumes you could go out as which was a bunny rabbit! But since it was Halloween it wasn’t acceptable to just go as a seductive bunny so it wasn’t long before I decided a zombie bunny would work.

So after looking online for some bunny ears and a tail I came across a great deal which was for the ears, tail and a bow tie for £4. After seeing that I get a bow tie with the ears and tail I was sold; let alone how cheap it was.

I already had fake blood which I got at a local make-up shop when I went home for Easter and my contacts were from a fancy dress shop. I was actually really nervous about putting contacts in for the first time but luckily I had a friend to show me how to put them in. After many, many failing attempts I finally got the hang of it (until coming home drunk and trying to take them out...that was trickier).

The next thing I needed was a dark red make-up product for under the eye (since I had to make the costume a bit scarier and not utterly sexy). My friend recommended Mac Cranberry eye shadow but after looking at it, it wasn’t the right colour. I then started talking to one of the Mac girls (happened to be one of the nicest beauty counter girls I’ve spoke to) and she showed me a blusher called ‘Fever’ and it was exactly what I was looking for!

I got some cheap black jeans from Primark and did a bit of DIY by cutting them (weren’t short enough so rolled them up as well) and getting a white shirt from Topman in the sale for £8 pounds and made some rips to show of some more flesh ;))

Then finally my costume was compete and I was ready to PARTY!

What did you guys go as for Halloween? Leave a comment and let me know; also don’t forget to follow my blog which you can do in the top right corner and maybe give it a share :D
