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 ?

The Body Shop Born Lippy Pomegranate

On a recent shopping trip with a friend i got The Body Shops Born Lippy lip balm in Pomegranate (now that's a mouthful) . 

I had no intention of getting the lip balm but looking on the voucher codes app this lip balm popped up.  

By showing the code at the tills you received a free lip balm !

Usually you only get offers like this when you spend over a certain amount of money, but I didn't have to spend a thing. I simply just showed the code at the tills and could pick any shade I wanted. 

The lip Balms are usually £3 which is a great price anyway but even better for free. 

The lip Balm comes in 6 different shades.

Toffee - Caramel Tint  

Lychee - Transparent Shimmer 

Plum - Plum Tint

Pomegranate - Red Tint

Strawberry - Pink Tint

Pink Berry - Light Pink Tint

I don't usually go for red colours but I thought I have enough pink lipsticks and lip balms to last me for the next 10 years (well if the expiry date lasted that long!).

I wasn't really expecting much colour to come through after applying but there is a lovely subtle red tint with a nice shine. You can definitely tell that something has been applied to your lips.

The smell of the lip balm is lovely. You can really smell the Pomegranate. Its very fruity and sweet.   

  This lip balm is also one of the best for moisterising. It has left my lips feeling completely soft and nourished. 

If the weather it cold outside or Lovely and Sunny this is great to use. 

 I also love the pop art style on the packaging. It makes the lip balm stand out as most lip balms are quite simple and block colours. I know the design definitely made me want the lip balm even more.

Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub

I am in love with lush products and always ask for the lush gift sets for birthdays and Christmas. In a recent gift box that a friend got me for my birthday was the lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub. The Lip scrubs are available in 3 different flavors Bubblegum, Popcorn and Mint Julips. Personally my favorite is the Bubblegum flavour. With each pot you get 25g of product. This may seem a small amount but they usually last up to a good 3 months ! I also think the price is quite reasonable at £5.25 but i didn't pay for mine individually as i received it in the gift box. 

The Lip Scrubs are made from castor sugar (great for exfoliating and adds the nice taste) and jojoba oil (very moisterising)  with a little added flavoring to make them taste amazing. To apply the scrub apply a small amount to your finger. Don't use to much at a time as you don't want to over exfoliate the lips. In gentle circular motions rub your lips with the scrub. Keep going until you feel your lips are smooth and dry skin free. Now for the best part ! You can either wipe away the excess scrub left over or simply lick it away. I prefer the second option and to lick the remainder of the scrub as it is so yummy ! 

If you have a sweet tooth and like the taste of candy floss then the Bubblegum flavour is definitely the one for you. I also prefer the colour of this scrub as from my blog you can probably guess i love anything pink.

If you are a lush fan then you will most likely have used or seen the Snow Fairy product which only comes out at Christmas, Well the lip scrub smells exactly the same as that ! If your not sure what product Snow Fairy is the lip scrub smells deliciously sweet and a lot like candy floss and tastes exactly the same !  

To buy this product you can visit your nearest lush store or click the link and visit Lush and order online.

Have you used any of the lip scrubs ? What flavour is your favourite ?
