MAC 6 Lips Gem Palette Crystal from the MAC 2004 Holiday Collection

MAC 6 Lips Gem Palette

MAC 2004 Holiday Collection

Crystal

I got this little beauty from my sponsor a little while back, luckily i hadn't put the pictures onto my old and broken laptop..!

Well, where do I begin?

This little pretty is nothing like any Mac item I have seen in recent collections over the last few years. It's a beautiful aqua turquoise colored palette with Swarovski crystals in the Mac logo. 

4 lipsticks: Bare Trance, Hug Me, CB-96 & Fetish 

2 lipglosses: Bluelight & Chatterbox

brush: 316SE

L-R: Bare Trance, Hug Me, Chatterbox,CB-96, Fetish & Bluelight

L-R: Bare Trance, Hug Me, Chatterbox,CB-96, Fetish & Bluelight

Bare Trance Lipstick : Now, when I first saw this lipstick I didn't think it would like me and my skin tone.. but surprisingly it really did! I found it so easy to apply this and it lasted for a little while I'd say around 2 hours as it is a frost finish and needed constant reapplying but I really loved the color of this as I have never owned/tried one! It's not so much shimmery but.. frosty!

Hug Me Lipstick: I noticed this was a lustre finish and immediately wasn't impressed when I swatched it. I am more of a matte fan as the color payoff is much better and it lasts forever. Once I applied i noticed it went on smoothly but that there wasn't much color payoff (probably the pigmentation of my lip color!) and it looked like I had put vaseline on! So, as I thought from the swatch, I wasn't impressed sadly! It lasted a mere hour on me I had to reapply often. The color is beautiful but this one just isn't for me.

Chatterbox Lipgloss: This is such a pretty golden rose pearly lipgloss.. there's no other way to explain it! It really reminded me of the first Mac gloss( I kind of borrowed from my mum and never gave her back haha) called Show Coral. It has almost the exact same pearly finish they are just different colours. Sadly it doesn't suit me all that well but if I am in the mood to change my look up this non sticky-messy gloss is my choice! It lasted around 2 and a half hours on me.

CB-96 Lipstick: CB-96 is a very frosty orange with a little hint of pink. It is a stunning frost lipstick and suits me better than most other shades in this palette due to my brown hair and hazel eyes. It has been compared to RiRi's Who's That Chick lipstick and I see a similarity in finish/shine but CB-96 is much pinker and WTC is more burnt golden orange. This lasted 3 hours on me which surprised me as it's a frost!

Fetish Lipstick: This is a stunning color that I couldn't wait to try. It's a coppery brown with hints of gold in it. This applied easily like all the other lipsticks in this palette and looked lovely on. It didn't settle into any little cracks which is great and had a pearly finish to it. It lasted around 3 hours which is good for a frost finish lipstick.

Bluelight lipgloss: When I first saw this light jade green color in the palette I was a little intrigued and also a little intimidated if I'm honest! I was worried it would look like a nasty green when I applied it but boy was I wrong! When i swatched it it did look very green but i decided to use a little on my lips and just blend it in and it looked lovely! It has tiny purple shimmer in it and when I blended the green gunk around it turned into a pearly baby pink gloss with purple shimmer. That is the only way I can describe it! This is by far the best performing of the whole palette and really isn't what you would expect! It lasted an hour and a half so it wasn't the longest lasting but the color just won me over!

Brush 316SE : This is such a cute brush and it even matches the packaging in color <3 It's very sturdy and very easy to use, easy to clean and applies lipstick/ gloss easily.

I rate this an 8 out of 10. 

A high score for the breathtaking packaging and neat little brush and also the great products inside. But it's downfall for me is that it isn't versatile! 

There are only frost & lustre finishes.. A wider variety would have maybe swayed me.. And some of the lipsticks didn't perform all that well!

 But it's definitely a beauty and is the prettiest thing in my collection!

Have a beautiful Day! 

Haven't been on in a while..

 

 

Hi everyone, sorry I haven't been on in a while!

I just started college recently and am trying to get into my new routine.

So far it has been great and it's still all very new to me.

 

We haven't received our makeup kits yet but I have received my hair and face kits which I am so far impressed with!

I can't wait till we get our makeup kits so I can start painting some faces and doing what I love and learning as much as I can about it. 

I'm so happy I decided to go into makeup artistry as I really believe it's what I want to do, and I have a huge passion for makeup so why not?

 

On another note, I  haven't posted recently because my old laptop no longer wants to switch on.. so I had to buy a new one. All my pictures for my up and coming blog posts were on the laptop!

So please bear with me while I retake the pictures and type up reviews over the next few weeks!

 I promise I am trying my best! :)

 

Have a beautiful day!

 

 

MAC Archie’s Girls Magic Spells Pigment Review

MAC Archie’s Girls Magic Spells Pigment Review

I've been wanting to try Mac pigments for a while and haven't really found a colour I liked.

So I was very happy to receive this from my sponsor to try!

I would describe the colour as a matte black with a teal glitter/shimmer. 

The pictures really don't do it any justice! 

(Swatched once lighty)

I found this super messy to work with, it ended up everywhere! 

So I put a piece of paper under it so when I opened it and would take a 

little out it didn't go all over the place.

When I applied, I had a primer on to keep it still.
 I only needed the smallest amount and it went a long way.

It lasted for a long time but started fading a little after 6 hours. 

It went on very easily but I made sure to use a shield when applying to my lid

 so it didn't fall on my face.

 (Swatched twice lightly)

The colour is just beautiful and super easy to apply and the 

limited edition packaging is so cute too! 

You get so much product for your money with these pots, it seems endless!

The only downfall for me is how messy it is and that the blackness fades, 

so sadly it's an 8/10 for this!

Thank you for reading!

Mac Osbourne's 

Kelly Yum Yum Lipstick 

Vs

Candy Yum Yum Lipstick

When I first heard that this collection was going to include Candy Yum Yum and was going to be sold as Kelly Yum Yum it was a pass for me...

That is until I saw swatches of it online of course! 

I couldn't deny myself of another bright pink lipstick..

They even picture differently, most people (including myself) thought it was just Candy Yum Yum repackaged, but it's definitely not.

(L-R) Kelly Yum Yum - Candy Yum Yum

While Candy is a matte finish Kelly is a satin but acts like a matte on me!

It applied very easily with no tugging or bother and it seriously lasted like a matte! 

I had it on for around 7 hours! Crazy for a satin I know! 

Candy is very similar and is also easy to apply and lasts just as long but 

honestly Kelly is my preferred pink now! 

The colour just suits me more overall for some reason.

 It seems like a darker hot pink and less blue tones in it than Candy YY.. 

and don't get me started on the packaging..!

To the eye the packaging is a slightly shimmery lilac with Kelly's signature in red.

 My camera does it no justice! 

I love limited edition lipsticks usually just for packaging but this one is something special. 

I've heard talk and comparisons with the Dame Edna lipsticks 

but they are completely different, the colour for starters!

So as you can see these two lipsticks are not identical and Mac have done very well in selecting a different hot pink shade.

It applied smoothly, lasted ages and the packaging is stunning! 

It's absolutely a 10/10 for me!
