Mac The Matte Lip Collection

Every girl's dream has finally come true ever since MAC have released their recent matte lip collection. Which involves some of the MAC lovers favourite colours but in a matte format for extra staying power, here are some of the recent additions I'm after using.

MAC Antique Velvet Matte Lipstick

This is probably one of the new additions I am most excited to use, I've always preferred a matte finish over a satin finish and I don't think Antique Velvet could be more of a perfect shade to have in a matte finish. I've seen quite a few mua's combining this with the Nightmoth lip pencil to have the smouldering ombre look.

MAC Stone Matte Lipstick

               

The stone lipliner is one of MAC's best selling colours so it only makes sense to turn it into a matte lipstick. Really looking forward to trying this grey nude colour, I can see it becoming one of my staple lipsticks.

MAC Whirl Matte Lipstick

Whirl also began as one of MAC's best selling lip liners thanks to Kylie Jenner's infamous pout. So who can blame MAC for cashing in and turning it into a beautiful pinky nude lipstick.

MAC Ruby Woo Matte Lipstick

             

Hallelujah, praise the lord! I've been after Ruby Woo for a while, as in my opinion it is the most perfect of the MAC red shades. But what has put me off is the fact it's a satin finish, which it's not because I don't like a satin finish (I do), I just feel like a matte finish is more effective and has better staying power. So when MAC announced they were bringing Ruby Woo out as part of their 2015 Matte Collection, all of my lipstick related problems were solved, I will be purchasing this as soon as pay day rolls around.

I hope you guys are as excited as me for the new MAC Matte 2015 Collection and let me know what ones you're most excited to use too!

All my love,

Top 5 MAC Lipsticks

Hi Guys,

Hope you're all well on this fine day, today I thought I would discuss my top 5 MAC lipsticks. I wear MAC lipsticks everyday, but generally wear certain one more than others so thought I would let you all in on my tips and recommendations when it comes to picking your perfect MAC lipstick.

Number 1 - Sin 

Easily the best lipstick I own in my MAC collection, the perfect dark red lipstick, the only negative is it is a matte lipstick which can be very drying on your lips so make sure you exfoliate thoroughly before application. Teamed with the widely loved Nightmoth lipliner the combination gives you an impeccable ombre lip.

Number 2 - Honey Love

Probably the lipstick that I wear pretty much every day, ideal for a more natural look and what I wear to work with minimal make up for an effortless day time look, also a matte lipstick so exfoliate and moisturise before application.

Number 3 - Heroine

Very much a statement lip, this lipstick comes out more of a pinky purple but particularly long lasting, also matte (you can see a theme here), I do personally find that matte lipsticks have much better staying power than Satin lipsticks but that's just my personal preference.

Number 4 - Velvet Teddy

Velvet Teddy has been particularly sought after due to the Kylie Jenner phenomenon where she declared one of her favourite and most frequently used lipsticks was Velvet Teddy by MAC after hearing all the hoopla about it, I bought it as soon as it came back into stock and I have to say, it lives up to the hype. It's a flawless matte nude brown lipstick that should be a staple in anyone's collection

Number 5 - Rebel

Actually my first MAC purchase so it will always have a place in my heart, I'm also wearing it in my profile photo. Rebel is a beautiful pinky red that would make anyone feel extra girly, with a satin finish Rebel is a highly moisturising lipstick which I would recommend to be combined with the Vino lip liner for the ultimate look.

I hope my favourites and recommendations have helped you make a decision towards your next MAC lipstick and happy shopping!

All my love,

Bex

2015 Wish List

Evening all,

I hope you've had a lovely day, so today I thought I would do a wish list for this year. Ever find yourself scrolling through instagram, pinterest, polyvore or whatever you like and just finding tons of things you need in your life, but a significant lack of finance is keeping you both from being together.

That's why you should have a wish list, so whenever it's a special occasion, a birthday, christmas or you just fancy a treat, then you have your wishlist for reference of what materialistic items you need in your life to make it that much better! Let the wish list commence..

Black and Leopard Print Vans

Ugh these are so nice, probably not everyone's cup of tea, but definitely right up my street, Vans last ages, are very durable and are really comfortable and at only £35 these are pretty much a steal.

Anastasia Beverley Hills Brow Wiz and Dip Brow Pomade

Now this brow duo, I've heard a lot of MUA's rave about it saying it's the best thing to happen to eyebrows since threading, I'm yet to try it, but considering the reviews that these products have had, it's definitely on my wish list to be added to my make up collection.

MAC Ruby Woo

Ladies and gentlemen, the epitome of a perfect red lip is here and it's embodied in the form of Ruby Woo. Ruby Woo and Lady Danger are the most sought after MAC red lipsticks, these need to be added to my lipstick collection.

Topshop Joni Jeans

I live in my black Joni Jeans, but despite the english weather's appearance it is allegedly summer, so I thought I should get some more summery jeans to match the occasion.

Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation

Allegedly the holy grail of foundations, one of my favourite MUA's Belle Jorden swears by this foundation, in a small hope that this foundation may give me her same flawless complexion I will be purchasing it immediately.

Birkenstocks

Oh ugly shoe, how I love thee. Birkenstocks have very much been the marmite shoe of the fashion world, I don't know what it is about them, I just love them so much, even if they are very summer grandad esque, I need them in my life.

Lush's Gorgeous Moisturiser

Considering how much I just love Lush in general, I really don't think I could big up this moisturiser anymore, don't get me wrong, for a moisturiser it's pretty steep at just over £40 for a small pot. But instantaneously after putting the sample on my skin, I could feel the pineapple extract going to work on my pores and my skin felt velvety soft after it's use.

MAC Studio Finish Concealer

I really do feel like I've done the rounds in the concealer world, but I just haven't been able to find anything potent enough to cover up my chronic dark circles. Once again I've heard lots of MUA's rave about the staying power and coverage of this concealer so this could finally be the one, fingers crossed!

Daniel Wellington Watch

I've wanted one of these bad boys for a while and maybe this year will be the year, it's simplistic, smart yet elegant. Could be used to accessorise any outfit and can be dressed up for smart wear or dressed down for casual wear, the staple of any watch lovers collection. 

I hope you enjoyed my wish list, if you're like me, try not to smash your bank balance too much!

All my love,

Bex
