Beauty | My Autumn Beauty Picks

When it comes to beauty products to me Autumn means deep rich berry tones and plenty of nourishing skin care. Here are some of my Autumn Beauty Picks for this year.

MAC Rebel Lipstick | £15.50

My all time favourite lipstick to wear during the Autumn/Winter months is Rebel by MAC. It's a deep plum tone which may look a little scary in the tube but when it is applied it isn't anywhere near as dark so definitely give it a swatch it you haven't already. This is a gorgeous shade that looks nice with a neutral smokey eye, my favourite combination to wear, and it gives my face a really lovely pop of colour. The formula is reasonably moisturising and long lasting too.

Berry Tones Nail Polish such as Essie Bahama Mama | £7.99

Autumn wouldn't be Autumn without berry toned nails and my go to shade is Essie Bahama Mama. Sadly I seem to have misplaced this polish so I haven't been able to picture it here but I have included a darker alternative by Essie called Decadent Dish which is more brown toned and darker but still nice for this time of year.

After wearing paler shades, usually pink or pastels during the Spring and Summer months I love changing this to richer shades later on in the year. It's a refreshing change and I can't get enough of them!

Origins Drink it Up Intensive Over Night Face Mask | £23.00

In Summer the heat can dry out your skin but equally during the colder months this weather can also play havoc. The skin care product I always rely on is the Origins Drink It Up face mask which I was 2-3 times a week overnight to re-hydrate my skin. Not only does my skin glow and look healthier but it also means my makeup applies better as my skin is not dry.

Sleek Pomegranate Blush | £4.49

If you are a fan of blushes this Autumn try Pomegranate by Sleek. It's very similar to Nars Sin but is a fraction of the price and brilliant quality. The formula is pretty dry so it is long lasting when applied to the skin yet it is still very blendable, more so than you would expect. Like all Sleek blushes Pomegranate is also very pigmented so you need very little to add a subtle colour to your cheeks, too much and you could risk looking like a clown so use with caution! This is such a pretty shade I often forget about but should definitely wear more.

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on Pencil in Smog | £15.50

Throughout the whole year I like to mix up my make-up and this is a product I use all the time but I seem to reach for it more during Autumn and that is my Urban Decay eye liner in Smog. This shade makes a nice alternative to your usual black as it's brown with subtle flecks of gold/bronze. It adds definition to the eye and finishes off a look without making it too dark so it's great to wear both during the day and evening.

I can't rave enough about the Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on Pencil's. They are the best eye liners I have tried as they are creamy and easy to apply without pulling or irritating the skin but are extremely long lasting. Once applied this eye liner isn't going anywhere until you add make-up remover to it!

Review | My Favourite Bright Pink Lipsticks

[Left to Right: YSL No 5, MAC Girl About Town, MAC Show Orchid, MAC Full Fuchsia]

One of my weaknesses when it comes to makeup is definitely lipsticks, I just can't get enough of them. I love to wear a variety of shades and I mix them up all year around but when Summer is approaching I tend to reach more for my bright pinks. They may look a little scary to some people  but I find they finish off my makeup nicely and really brighten up my face. 

I have four bright lipsticks in my collection which are my 'go to' shades and by far my most worn so I thought I would share those with you in today's post. Whether I'm looking a little paler or have a tan I find they go well with my skin tone so I definitely think they are worth a swatch if you're tempted.

One of the first MAC lipsticks I bought was the cult shade Girl About Town which is talked about a lot in the blogging world and it's obvious why. This shade is just beautiful. The Amplifed finish is one of my favourite's as it's creamy, long lasting and hydrating plus very pigmented. This blue toned pink looks gorgeous with neutral eye makeup and although it's a bright lipstick I wear it in both the day and evening. Out of all the lipsticks mentioned in this post, this is definitely my most worn and is a lipstick I will always have in my collection.

Next is MAC Show Orchid which is a pro colour so is not quite as easily available. In fact, it took me several months of searching to track this down before eventually finding it in the London Carnaby Street MAC Pro Store but it was totally worth it. Show Orchid also has an Amplified finish hence why it is very pigmented but it is much brighter than Girl About Town. The latter is a deeper lipstick and far more wearable but Show Orchid is equally as beautiful. It is more pink toned and has a subtle shimmer running through it which makes my lips look fuller which is an added bonus. This lipstick isn't for the faint hearted as it is bold but it looks gorgeous with simple makeup and definitely makes a statement.

The last MAC lipstick I'm going to talk about is Full Fuchsia and is a shade I bought at the airport when I went on a work trip earlier in the year. If I'm honest it's very close to Girl About Town and wouldn't recommend someone to get both. If I'd realised it was so similar I wouldn't have bought it myself but as I've got it I wear it. Again the finish is Amplified and this shade is a deeper pink than Show Orchid and blue toned. It's very pretty and is ever so slightly lighter than Girl About Town but it is barely noticeable. Another pretty lipstick.

I've always been a big fan of YSL lipsticks as I find them very moisturising and easy to wear. My favourite collection is the Rouge Volupte Shine as I find the formula the most hydrating and the packaging is simply stunning. This shade, No 5, is slightly more on the red/pink side and is also blue toned which I find to be flattering plus it makes your teeth look whiter! The formula is lighter than the MAC alternatives but the colour is pigmented so you can still easily achieve a statement lip.

I hope you enjoyed reading my blog post about my favourite bright pink lipsticks. I plan to do some similar posts like this in the future so let me know if that is something you would be interested in seeing.

Review | Nars Anita Lipstick

Nars is without doubt one of my favourite brands when it comes to makeup because although their products are high end so a little on the pricey side they are a brilliant quality and a large selection is available.

Nars Anita is part of the Audacious collection and is a beautiful rich nude shade. It is deep pink lipstick that is the darkest nude shade I have in my collection but it's still very wearable. Depending on the light it can look a little more orange toned like in the photo's above but most of the time it leans more on the pink side. When combined with a simple neutral eye for every day wear this lipstick works perfectly and it has quickly become one of my 'go to' shades. 

When I purchased Anita I was on the look out for a every day pink shade that wasn't as pale as the others in my collection such as MAC Hue and Please Me but nothing that was too dark either. Anita is just perfect and I can imagine it suiting a lot of different skin tones.

The formula of Anita is just beautiful. The texture is creamy like butter, smooth and hydrating so it is very comfortable to wear but is also pretty long lasting too.  I just love it. For the best results I apply it first with a small lip brush to get a precise line and I put one more layer of the top directly from the lipstick. This gives me an even, flawless finish.

The packaging is also great. The jet black casing looks sophisticated and the magnet lid works well plus is a cool gimmick. The logo is imprinted in the side of the lipstick which I always like.

If you want to buy Anita by Nars it is available on their website for £24.00

Favourites | February Favourites

Another month has gone by in a flash and that means one thing... it's time to share my favourite products with you! Let's get straight into it:

Nuxe Reve De Miel Lip Balm | £9.50

Firstly I have the Nuxe lip balm which is just delicious. It smells like lemon and honey and is very thick and luxurious so does a great job at nourishing my lips. Unlike other lip balms I don't have to constantly re-apply it during the day to keep my lips moisturised as it lasts for hours and a little goes a long way so although this small pot it pretty pricey it lasts ages. I have had mine for months and use it daily.. it's barely even dented!

The Body Shop Baked To Last Blush | £12.00

Next is a blush I recently re-discovered when I was re-organising my makeup and has been somewhat overlooked in the Winter months. This pretty baked blush is by The Body Shop and is a mixture of two shades, peach and a pretty pink. When swirled together they create a natural looking blush when applied to the cheeks with lots of shimmer so I never wear this with a highlighter.

This blush is great to use during Spring and Summer but I'm also enjoying it now as it makes a refreshing change and gives my cheeky a healthy glow.

Maybelline Dream Touch Blush | £6.49

Next is a blush I bought last month and have been loving ever since. The Maybelline Dream Touch Blush is so soft and creamy it's a dream to work with and is perfect during the morning when I don't have much time. The shade I have is peach which gives my cheeks a natural healthy glow all day. It's very subtle so can easily be paired with a variety of makeup looks.

MAC Hue Lipstick | £15.50

Next is a MAC lipstick I've had for ages which is called Hue. This is a pale nude which on it's own doesn't work too well for me as it washes me out but when combined with a lip gloss it gives my lips a pretty splash of baby pink which works beautifully with lots of different make up looks.

I've been using this combination a lot over the past month for work because I don't like to wear too much make-up and don't often go for a bright lip so this is perfect. It looks lovely with a simple neutral eye or a heavier smokey one so is pretty versatile. 

MAC Soft and Gentle Mineralise Skin Finish Highlighter | £23.00

Next is an old favourite I hadn't been reaching for much until recently and that is MAC Soft and Gentle. This product looks so pretty in the pan and definitely seems to be never ending because it doesn't matter how much I use it, it never seems to go down which is obviously a good thing.

Soft and Gentle looks gorgeous when added to my cheeks and brow bones and it definitely gives my face a healthy glow. It's a very pretty product that I think will always have a place in my make-up collection.

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Lip Balm | £7.99

Last but not least, this month I have been loving my Revlon Kissible Lip Balm. I have this product in the colour Crush which is a beautiful rich berry that reminds me of MAC Rebel lipstick.

I've found the best way to use this lip product is to apply it using a brush as I can get a cleaner line and a less patchy effect. This also means it wears off more evenly too although it is pretty long lasting. I like the Revlon Kissable lip balms because they are comfortable to wear, don't dry my lips and are available in lots of shades.

Well that's it for another month. I look forward to seeing what my favourite are during March.

Review | My All Time Favourite Lipsticks

Hello Beauties, in today's post I will be sharing my all time favourite lipsticks. These are the ones that I reach for most often and can be described as my 'go to' lipsticks.  In most cases these are lip products I tend to wear all year round too because I love them so much. Of course from time to time I wear others too but without doubt these are my favourites.  Here's a little more about each of them.

First is MAC Girl About Town a pretty bright pink which is rich with deep pigmentation and blue toned. I like this lipstick because firstly the shade suits my skin tone well whether I'm on the paler side or sporting more of a golden glow. It also makes my teeth look whiter which is an added bonus. The formulation is soft, smooth and creamy because the finish is a Cremesheen, my favourite finish from MAC and this lipstick is not at all drying. Despite the colour being bright it also doesn't bleed so there is no need to wear a lip pencil.

Next is the MAC Rebel which in the black bullet casing looks like a scary dark shade but when it is swatched it is in fact a deep berry shade which looks gorgeous with a smokey eye in the evening. I really love this lipstick because it's different to any others in my collection and the formula is creamy and hydrating on my lips so it is comfortable to wear. The finish is Satin.

One of my favourite brands for lipstick is up next and that is Chanel. I love their timeless packaging because the simple black and gold looks elegant and expensive.  The shade, Le Braiser,  is what I would describe as a mid-toned pink because it isn't a pale nude but at the same time isn't a bright pink like Girl About Town so it's perfect to wear during the day or evening when you want a pop of colour on your lips but nothing too in your face. This pretty shade from the Rouge Coco range is very easy to wear and the flawless formula is soft, creamy and luxurious meaning it feels very hydrating on the lips. I love it.

Next is the first of three YSL lipsticks, again one of my all time favourite lipstick brands and that is number 60 from the Rouge Pur Couture range which means the package is a chunky gold case which the YSL brand simply stamped on the front. This packaging feels expensive and can be doubled up as a handy mirror but isn't my favourite as I do prefer the Rouge Volupte Shine range as it's so delicate. The formula smells sweet and fruity and again is super creamy and soft so it feels moisturising on my lips. The shade is also a really deep pink that has a gorgeous shine and glides over the lips perfectly. This lipstick also has SPF 15.

The second YSL lipstick I have is from the Rouge Volupte Shine Collection and this is number 5 a rich berry pink that has a very glossy finish. This is a darker pink than MAC Girl About Town and shiner but both are equally as beautiful. As for the formulation, it's very creamy and hydrating so it applies like a dream.  The packaging is also stunning because it has the pretty gold casing and intricate detailing in the middle giving a hint of colour with the brand entwined inbetween.

The last YSL lipstick is another from the Rouge Volupte Shine range and that is Number 8 a pretty pink/nude which is really easy to wear. This shade looks beautiful when teamed with simple day time makeup or a heavier look in the evening. The finish again, is high shine and the formula is very hydrating. This is probably my most worn lipstick out of all the ones features here because it goes with any makeup look I wear, the formula is comfortable to wear and it can easily be applied on the go.

Soap and Glory Bashful is next on my list and is from the Sexy Mother Pucker Gloss Stick range. I love these lip products because the formula again is soft and hydrating, it applies well and can easily be re-applied throughout the day without going patchy. The formula isn't sticky in the slightest and this pretty pink/nude shade can easily be applied on the go without a mirror. It is actually a very close dupe for the number 8 YSL lipstick as you can read in my post here.

*Clinique Super Strawberry from the Chubby Stick range is next on my list and is another great go to product because it is a 'your lips but better' product. It can easily be applied on the go and again is very moisturing on the lips. It has a sheer coverage but is buildable so you can make the colour as dark as you like and I like the retractable packaging.

I'm a big fan of Urban Decay products and their lip products are no exception. The Super Saturated High Gloss Lip Colours are stunning. The formula is so smooth and creamy it literally melts onto your lips and they have a beautiful shimmer running throughout them which make your lips look full and plump. As the formula is so moisturing it is very comfortable to wear and the shade Love Child is a pretty pink/nude which is really easy to wear and apply on the go. The only down point is that you have to sharpen them which can be pretty messy and wasteful.

Last but not least is another Clinique Chubby Stick but this time in the shade Woppin' Watermelon. This is a light pink shade which adds a really subtle baby pink colour to the lips and looks lovely with subtle makeup during the day. It is the perfect lip colour to wear if you want to wear a lip product but don't want anything too heavy or over the top.

I love each and every one of these lip products and really enjoyed sharing them with you all in today's post. I hope you enjoyed reading :)

Review | My Top 5 MAC Lipsticks

Hello Everyone! Sorry about this being a picture heavy post but I found it hard to pick between them so I just decided to include them all so you can see the products at different angles. You would have already guessed by now that this post is about my favourite MAC Lipsticks, a brand that pretty much every beauty blogger will have been or still be a fan of at some time or another.

When I first decided to write this post I went through my MAC Lipstick collection and picked out my favourites which was actually really easy. I knew exactly which ones I was looking for as these are all my go to shades and the most worn in my collection.

I'm going to start with the most easy to wear shade and that is Creme Cup. The finish of this lipstick is a Cremesheen which means it has a soft, smooth and creamy texture. This along with Amplified are my favourite finishes because I find them the most comfortable to wear and hydrating on my lips. This is the shade I always choose when I want an natural, no fuss make-up look and because this is a baby pink shade it goes with a large variety of makeup looks for both day and night.

Next is a stunning pink lipstick called Girl About Town. This is a beautiful blue toned shade which has an Amplified finish and although it is bright I often wear it during the day and evening in Spring and Summer. I love this colour because it suits my skin tone really well whether I'm looking a little pale or have a glowing tan and as it is blue toned it also makes my teeth look whiter. The formula is soft, creamy and smooth so it applies very well and doesn't go patchy or bleed. The colour is also extremely pigmented so you need to use very little to get a gorgeous pop of colour to your lips.

Rebel is the darkest lipstick I own and is one that looks completely different in the packaging compared to the swatch. In the casing it looks like a scary deep colour but when it is applied to the lips it is actually a very rich berry which is much more wearable than you think. I absolutely love this lipstick! The finish is Satin which is hydrating and to be honest I don't see any difference between this and Cremesheen. Both are equally as creamy and moisturing on the lips. 

As Rebel is a darker shade I rarely wear it in the day and prefer to wear it in the evening with a neutral smokey eye. The combination is really pretty and shows off this lipstick really well.

Show Orchid is a shade I had trouble getting hold of because it's a pro colour and is only available at certain MAC stores so I was very excited when I finally got my hands on it! It is a beautiful bright pink which may be a bit too bright for some people but I love to wear it, especially in the summer when I have a tan. It is brighter than Girl About Town and also has a very slight shimmer to it. It's a richer shade which is not as deep but still blue toned so it suits my complexion well. The finish is an Amplified which again means it is creamy, hydrating and very pigmented.

Last but not least is Ruby Woo which I actually first bought because of the name (my dog is called Ruby hehe). I really like wearing red lipsticks but I don't use them as often as my pinks as they are definitely my go to colours but when I do reach for Ruby Woo I enjoy wearing it. The finish is Matte which is my least favourite because it can be a little drying so I always make sure I wear lip balm underneath it, particularly if I will be re-applying it thoughout the evening. I really like Ruby Woo because it is blue toned and what I would describe as a true red. I find orange lipsticks don't suit me as well so I tend to avoid those and lean more towards these shades. It's really pretty and makes a refreshing change from your typical pinks.

If you want to take a closer look at the lipsticks MAC has on offer or the ones featured in this post you can view them at the MAC website. They are priced at £16.00 each.

Review | YSL Rouge Volupte Lipstick Dupe

Hello Beauties! When I recently bought the Soap and Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Gloss Stick in Bashful I made an exciting discovery.... it is a very close dupe to the YSL Rouge Volupte No.8 Lipstick that I have been raving about!

The YSL lipstick is one of my all time favourites. The packaging is absolutely stunning and I don't think any other brand compares at the moment. The gold casing makes the product look and feel expensive and I love the intricate detail in the middle showing a hint of colour inbetween the entwined YSL branding. As for the lipstick itself? It's equally as gorgeous. No 8 in the Rouge Volupte range has a beautifully soft, creamy formula which applies like a dream and is smooth and hydrating on the lips. It isn't particularly long lasting but as this shade is a pretty baby pink it's easy to apply on the go and because the formula is so moisturising it doesn't matter how many times you re-apply, your lips aren't left feeling dry or looking patchy.

Another lip product I have also raved about are the Soap and Glory Gloss sticks however, until recently I only owned the red which is called Plum Jam. Last week I purchased Bashful as I love plum jam but wear pinks more often and it wasn't until I swatched it with YSL No 8 during a lipstick post that I realised they are practically the same. 

Of course, the packaging varies dramatically, Soap and Glory being more edgy and basic than it's luxurious YSL counterpart but the twist mechanism works well and I still like it. The formula is also very similar as it is soft, creamy and nourishing on the lips and the shade sheer but buildable. As you can see from the swatches above, both colours are almost identical to each other so much so that if I was shown both I definitely wouldn't be able to tell the difference. You wouldn't think it by looking at them side by side in the packaging though because Bashful looks alightly darker but its the swatches and application on the lips that count... And those are the same. Both lip products also have the same beautiful shine, are comfortable to wear and a dream to apply.

Besides the packaging there is of course one major difference between these two products and that is the price tag. The YSL Rouge Volupte lipstick in No. 8 is priced at £25.00 whereas Soap and Glory Bashful is only £8.00 so in comparison is a complete bargain!

What do you think of this dupe?

Review | My MAC Pink and Nude Lipstick Collection

Good Morning Beauties, how are you all? I know I seem to say it at the end of every month but I can't believe we're nearly at the end of another one. June has flown by far too quickly.. how are we halfway through the year already?! July could potentially have some exciting times in store, of course spending time with my friends and family but a long awaited holiday may be on the cards too.  I say may because I haven't actually been able to book anything yet because i'm in the 500,000 long passport queue and patiently waiting for it to arrive but I have got the time booked off work just incase. It will be a real shame to have to cancel it because I could really do with a relaxing break as things have been stressful but lets see what happens.. keep your fingers crossed guys!

Anyway onto my pink/nude MAC Lipstick collection. When I lined the lipsticks up for these photo's I was shocked to see how similar they looked because I am always very careful with my selections so I don't end up with any dupes. This proves how important swatches are though because as you can see from the photo above, each and every one of these lipsticks is completely different.

The lipstick I'm going to talk about first is Pink Plaid. The shade of this lipstick is a gorgeous blue toned pink which has a slight purplish tone to it. Despite loving the colour I don't often wear this lipstick, though as it has my least favourite finish which is Matte. It's not that I don't like matte finishes in general, I just find the formula a little drying so I always use a lip balm underneath.  Also if you're lips are dry in any way it doesn't apply too well so using an exfoliator like the Lush Lip Scrub is a must to stop it getting patchy. I really love this shade so this Summer I'm going to make a bigger effort to reach for Pink Plaid, it doesn't seem right to leave it sitting in my Muji drawers.

Next is Hue which is the lightest lipstick I own. This lipstick looks great if you're pale or have a slight tan and the formula is Glaze. I don't often hear much said about this finish but I like is because it is light, soft and creamy. It also leaves the lips with a beautiful shine which when swatched looks almost like a shimmer. It's very pretty.

Modesty is the darkest pink/nude lipstick I own and is one that people may refer to as a 'mumsy' colour. I however, really like it because it can make a nice change to add a slightly darker pop of colour to my lips and it goes with a whole host of make-up looks. The shade has a hint of colour but is more on the nude/brown side than the others in my collection. The finish is a Creamsheen which means the formula is hydrating on the lips and the formula is a dream to apply.

My most worn MAC lipstick from my collection Creme Cup because it's just one of those simple easy to wear shades. The colour is well pigmented and the shade is what I would describe as a baby pink so it's really pretty to wear all year round but particularly during Spring and Summer. The finish is a Cremesheen which is my favourite from MAC along with Amplifed as they are the most moisturising and comfortable to wear. The creamy formula is also really smooth so it applies well and lasts reasonably well considering it's a lipstick.

Next is Please Me which a deep pink similar to Pink Plaid but less blue toned. It's that lovely shade that sits nicely between a baby pink and deep pink so it is very easy to wear and goes with a variety of different make-up looks. The finish, however, is Matte which I wish wasn't the case as I do find it drying on my lips.

Last but not least is a shade that is missing from the above photo's. Syrup is another pretty shade from MAC and also one of my most worn. At the time taking these photo's I couldn't find it but I came across it in one of my handbags a couple of days later and as like it so much I wanted to still mention it here.

I hope you enjoyed looking at my pink/nude MAC lipstick collection. Sometime over the Summer I plan to write a blog post on my entire MAC lipstick collection as well as my eyeshadow's, I just haven't got around to it yet as my MAC lipsticks never all seem to be in one place at once.

I really enjoy using MAC lipsticks because they are a high quality, reliable product no matter what finish you have. They are all reasonably long lasting and sport the same black bullet packaging which I love and of course the trademark chocolate vanilla smell but the price has crept up over the years and now at £15 they are getting a little on the pricey side. I hope they stop increasing the price now as much beyond this I would stop buying them as I would rather pay a little extra and get a Chanel or YSL lipstick which I see to be in a different league.
