MAC Fusion Pink Lipstick

I decided to get a light pink lipstick for the summer. This MAC lipstick in Satin Fusion Pink is the perfect colour for me. The colour goes on really well and lasts for hours as all MAC products do.  

I think this lipstick would also look great teamed with a gloss on top for added shine.

As this is a satin finish lipstick i find that it can be a little drying. I apply a small amount of lip balm before applying this lipstick to stop my lips from drying out. 

It is quite expensive at £15.00 but that's how much you pay for a MAC lipstick !

In the pictures i have added the lipstick itself looks a lot darker than it is. Below is a picture of how the colour looks on my lips. So you can see it is lighter on my lips.

This is a very subtle shade but can easily be built up for a more vibrant look to stand out. This colour is also really easy to mix with darker pinks and vibrant reds to tone them down slightly . I really do think this is the perfect summer shade and has so far complimented all my makeup and outfit choices. 

I will definitely repurchase this when i run out as i love this shade. But i will look out for other brands with the same colour for a cheaper alternative. 

Whats your favorite MAC Lipstick shade ? Do you like to use the satin finish ?

As i was looking through the makeup section in Topshop The Glaze lip-glosses and lipsticks stood out to me. I have been looking for a bright pink lipstick for a while as i am starting to run out of the one i currently wear. So i needed wanted to get the lipstick but the lip-gloss just appeared in my hand when i got to the tills to pay ! 

I decided to buy the lip-gloss in a shade called Bubblegum. I love all things bubblegum so i'm guessing this was just another sign that I should purchase the lip-gloss and I am so pleased that I did. The colour is a lovely subtle pink. I was a little worried the lip-gloss would be a little bland but it definitely has a lovely colour to it. The gloss is very shimmery as it has little flecks of glitter inside the gloss which makes it even more pretty and girly. 

The product itself also stays on very well and is long lasting. I have been wearing it all day and have only had to top it up once. 

The lip gloss is £7 which i feel is quite reasonable as it is such a lovely gloss.

Now on to the lipstick! I absolutely love this shade. Although it is very bright so maybe it's not to everyone's liking. The shade I decided to get is called Bombshell. If your anything like me when you buy a lipstick you cant wait to get home to try it on. As soon as i left the shop I put the lipstick on and I can happily say it lasted me for the rest of the shopping trip! (around 3 hours also had a drink and it didn't budge) The lipstick is a little patchy when  first applied but i found as i put more on and rubbed my lips together it soon smoothed out. This may also be because I need to wear it in a bit yet. The lipstick is a little expensive at £9 but i think the price is justified with how long lasting it is as you wont have to keep reapplying. The lipstick does have a slight shine to it as you can see in the picture but overall is more matte than shiny. 

I applied the lip-gloss on top of the lipstick. This adds another great look! The lip-gloss tones the lipstick down giving it a more subtle look and a lovely deep pink shimmery effect. I would recommend buying a lip-gloss and a lipstick as you can have 3 great shades and also adds to the lasting power.

You can purchase both products at Topshop.

Have you tried any of the Topshop Lip-glosses or lipsticks ? I would love to hear your opinion
