Hey There,
Oh its just another beauty haul, but this time its all about the lipsticks. After coming to the realisation that I was committing a beauty crime by not owning any MAC lipsticks, (I know every MAC lover must be shaking their heads at me now), I went to Alice from Anniewritesbeauty for some help as to decide which lipstick to buy first, (She knows her MAC lipsticks well). It happened to be on the same night that I saw Liza from Glambeautys video featuring a gorgeous Bourjois lippy, so obviously I starting tapping away, trying to order myself the chosen MAC lipstick, and Bourjois number, and ended up with two more, (I was even restricting myself). Several times I had to empty baskets – Online shopping creates a lot of problems for people like me.
I bet your wondering which MAC lipstick I went for first, and being a pink lipstick fan, I had to go for ‘Snob’. It definitely is one that stands out, I love it. It’s not as long lasting as I would of expected from a brand like MAC, but it is oh so beautiful, I don’t care.
The Bourjois Rouge Velvet Edition in Ole Flamingo, looked so stunning on Liza, it was sold to me instantly. It brings such a vibrant, pop of color to your lips, the perfect hot pink. It has a matte finish which is ideal, leaving a ‘velvet’ touch. The formula is so stubborn, it lasts for ages, and actually keeps the colour, (If only every lippy was like this).
Next we have Barry M’s Gelly Hi Shine Lips, but unless I am being really blonde, (Which is likely), I can’t seem to find the name of the colour, *Sad face*. I have been wearing this one a lot, I love the tone of pink,it is highly pigmented, with a glossy finish. The pencil makes it easier to apply on the go, and it seems to last longer than normal lipstick.
Finally, I picked up an incredible peachy, nude, from GOSH called Mandarina. I had been wanting a orange toned lippy for a while, but wasn’t sure if I could pull it off. When I got this through the post, I was unbelievably happy with it, it was the ideal shade for me, and goes on so effortlessly, (Especially with my Holiday tan). The formula feels sightly thicker than say Snob, but it probably wears just as long.

Which is your favorite colour? What is your favorite lipstick ever, (If you had to choose) ?
I hope my post has inspired you to go do a little lipstick haul of your own, or even dig out the ones you nearly forgot about.
Lots of love,
