MAC Lipstick in Mehr

MAC Lipstick in Mehr: £15.00 from maccosmetics.co.uk -

I was lucky enough to win another MAC lipstick giveaway (I am so so lucky and grateful!), this time from the lovely Becky over at Beckawoo! I only had one lipstick I really wanted on my wishlist: Mehr.

Mehr is a medium neutral pink and is a matte finish, my favourite! It looks a little lighter in the photo above than in real life, but as you'll see it really is the perfect neutral pink. It's creamy and not too drying, the usual story with MAC matte lipsticks. 

I've really struggled with light pink lipsticks over the years, anything too baby pink totally washes me out. On me, Mehr is a complete MLBB (my lips but better) shade. I'll include a FOTD with it on soon. 

I absolutely adore this colour, it's the perfect everyday shade and I can see myself buying this again and again! Definitely check Mehr out if you're looking for pink lips that aren't too pale!

Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick | Rapture

Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick in Rapture: £15.00 - 

I had £5.00 of rewards due to expire on my Debenhams card, so when I spotted the new Revolution Lipsticks from Urban Decay, I knew I'd be taking one home with me! I picked the shade Rapture, which is a nudey, pinky purple mauve colour! It's so hard to describe, but it's gorgeous. I'll call it a wearable purple!

It's gorgeous anyway. And it has the best lipstick formula I have ever come across, ever. That's a pretty bold statement, but it's 100% true. I have never owned such a creamy, opaque lipstick that has great lasting power and is still moisturising! It's impressive. The colour range is really good as well, I believe there are 24 brand new shades. The packaging is also pretty stunning, classic UD gunmetal and  metallic purple.

The only downside for me is that for £15.00, I would probably rather buy a MAC lipstick that I can Back2MAC for a free one. So, I won't be buying the full range of these, but one or two colours have definitely caught my eye! These get a 10\10 for formula and packaging though!

MAC Plumful Lipstick | Swatch & Review

MAC Lipstick in Plumful: £15.00 via maccosmetics.co.uk -

I was lucky enough to win this lipstick in a giveaway hosted by the lovely Katie over at Beauty & The Baker Blog http://beautyandthebakerblog.blogspot.co.uk. I got to choose the shade of lipstick or paint pot I would like, so I picked Plumful! 

Plumful is a shade you may have heard about recently, as loads of bloggers seem to love it! MAC describe it as a "blossoming rose-plum", which is pretty spot on; it's a gorgeous plummy pink. It's a lustre finish so moisturises lips nicely, and it does have good pigmentation. The lasting time isn't amazing but thats to be expected when the lipstick isn't a matte finish! The only near dupe to this is the Revlon Lip Butter in Sugar Plum, which is very similar but a smidgen darker and more purple.

I really really love this shade, most of my MAC lipsticks are incredibly bold and 'out there' colours, so it's nice to own something more 'everyday' from the brand. This is definitely a lipstick you can just slick on and go, and I'm looking forward to wearing it more!

Sleek MakeUP | Mirrored Pink Blush

Another post on the new blush from Sleek! 

Sleek MakeUP Aqua Collection Limited Edition Blush in Mirrored Pink: £4.49 via Superdrug - This is the latest offering from Sleek, a new blush that's part of their Aqua collection. 

The packaging is pretty standard for Sleek, classy black with some extra writing to show this is a limited edition product. The outside box is really pretty but other than that theres nothing to shout about. 

But the colour itself, I could shout about that! It's a similar finish to their famous Rose Gold shade, except this blush is more of a blue pink and the shimmer is silver instead of gold! Its really pigmented and the texture is gorgeous, its not chalky in the slightest. 

This isn't a great swatch, but you get the idea. It really is a stunning colour and its a great bargain. The quality of Sleek blushes are great, I don't own that many but the ones I do have I really like! 

I'm not sure when they'll stop selling this, so if you like the look of it grab it while you can! :)

Maybelline Colour Tattoo | Light In Purple

Recently Maybelline have released three new colour tattoos on to the UK market. Still not as good as the American shades, but better than nothing! I picked up Light in Purple:

Maybelline Color Tattoo in Light In Purple: £4.99 via Boots and Superdrug - 

Maybelline describe this as a holographic cream eyeshadow that can be layered over other colour tattoos or eyeshadows to create unusual effects. 

I wouldn't describe this in any way a purple colour. It's a light metallic blue that in some lights has a pink/lilac duochrome. It's really unusual. 

As always it stands up to the usual quality of the colour tattoos. Creamy, pigmented and long lasting. I haven't worn it much as I'm still trying to figure out how to make it work. 

I'm excited to try this out over other eyeshadows and even more excited to see if Maybelline will bring out any more new shades in the future!

Rimmel Apocalips | Celestial & Galaxy

I know there have been millions of reviews of these, but here's my two cents!

Rimmel Apocalips in Celestial and Galaxy: £5.99 from Boots and Superdrug - These hotly anticipated lip laquers from Rimmel have finally been released. I bought mine from the Rimmel Facebook shop last week, but they've started to appear in Boots and Superdrug stores now. 

I bought two shades, Celestial; a rosy pink, and Galaxy; a plummy purple with shimmer.

These are so so creamy. They apply like a dream and aren't sticky. The doe foot applicator actually has a dip in it meaning you can apply product to your entire lips in one go! I can't say too much about the lasting time yet, as I haven't worn either for long, but so far so good.

Celestial

Galaxy

I'm really liking these so far. I'm definitely impressed, and will purchase more shades in the future, (Stellar, the almost neon pink really caught my eye!). These really do live up to their hype.

Benefit | High Flyin' Glosses

This beautiful Benefit High Flyin' Glosses set was a late Christmas present from my cousin and his lovely girlfriend!

I would never have picked this set up as I'm not a fan of tube lip glosses, but now I have these I'm so glad I do. They're so cute! The set contains six mini lip glosses which correspond to the box powders that Benefit also sell. For mini's these are a good size and contain 6.5ml of product each.

The set contains six colours, Coralista, Dallas, Bella Bamba, Hoola, Sugarbomb and Dandelion!

Coralista, Dallas, Bella Bamba

Hoola, Sugarbomb, Dandelion

Coralista is a sheer coral (duh!) with no shimmer, Dallas is a more opaque pinky brown with no shimmer, and Bella Bamba is a sheer bright pink with coral undertones. Hoola is a nude with golden shimmer, Sugarbomb is a dusky pink with gold/silver shimmer and Dandelion is a pale peach with golden shimmer. 

All the glosses went on really smoothly and weren't sticky in the slightest, brilliant news! I'm not sure if you can get this set any more but Benefit sell the full sized version of these glosses at £13.50 each, online and at their counters.
