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 ?

Topshop Lipstick & Lip-gloss

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

Topshop Atmosphere Eye Shadow Trio

The first thing i look at when i go into Topshop is the makeup but have never actually bought any. This is the first time I have bought makeup from Topshop and I can happily say I am not disappointed. After reading other beauty blogs Topshop Makeup makes a regular appearance so i thought its about time i stopped looking and started buying.

On the display I noticed the Metallic Eye Shadow trio palette. So like any girl I stuck my fingers into the tester to see how the colour appeared on the back of my hand. I was really surprised with the texture of the eye shadows as they were so smooth and soft almost like a creamy silky feeling but are all powder. I then knew I was not leaving the shop until I had a palette of my own!



 Metallic is coming into trend this summer so thought this would be great for my holiday. I  also feel comfortable traveling with this palette as the casing seems durable and shatterproof. I also love the quirky design on the lid.

The Palette costs £14 which I feel is reasonable as long as the eye shadows last. They are highly pigmented so i'm sure they will as you wont have to apply a great amount when using.

I decided to go with the Atmosphere palette which includes metallic purple, gold and green. I have green eyes and through experience know that these colours are amazing for enhancing green eyes. All the eye-shadows are highly pigmented which is great for long lasting colour. I love that with these colours you can have a subtle look during the day by applying a small amount of product, but can build the colour intensity up for a more glamorous look on nights out and special occasions.

The colours all blend so well together and give a really pretty look. 

Here is a quick picture I took to show you how well the colours come out . For this look I used mainly the green eye shadow

You can purchase the palette from the website at Topshop

Thank you for reading. Have you used any of the Topshop Eye-shadows ? What would you recommend?

Clinique Chubby Stick

I love the new Chubby Sticks that Clinique have recently stocked up there shelves with. On first Impression i thought that the Chubby Sticks would not have much colour to them and be more like a lip balm. I was pleasantly surprised as the Chubby Sticks are like a lipstick and moisturizing lip balm in one! The colour comes out very strong and also lasts well considering how moisturizing it is.

The Chubby Sticks are quite expensive at £16 each. Look out for when Clinique are doing special offers where you receive a little gift pack when you spend over a certain amount. At the moment you usually get a Free Chubby Stick ! Although it is slightly smaller than the original product. The Chubby sticks are a unique pencil style design. The applicator has a easy twist mechanism at the end to raise the content up from the tube. Just twist the silver section at the bottom. 

I would certainly  recommend one of these Chubby Sticks. They really do look nice and compliment all makeup. They are available in 16 shades so i'm sure you can find the perfect shade for you. They really do moisturize your lips leaving them soft and looking great. The texture of the product itself is very similar to lip balm and doesn't feel slimy or sticky at all. I have now got 3 of the Chubby Sticks in different shades they are great to have in your makeup and handbag ! 

You can buy the Chubby Sticks at Clinique. You can also buy the product in high street stores such as boots. 

Has anyone else tried the Chubby Sticks ? I would love to hear your feed back ! x
