Beauty Haul | MAC
Hey Lovelies!
Over my birthday I took a trip to my local MAC and bought my very first MAC lipstick (well two actually!) I couldn't decide which one I| loved more and did they typical 'It's my birthday so i'll treat myself to both', which i'd been doing all week!
I'm always a little wary of lipstick colours and I didn't want to spend £14 on a horrible shade so I pretty much let the make up artist try about 12 lipsticks on me and before we settled on Captive, which is a Satin finish, and Girl About Town which is an Amplified finish. Every day since i've bought them I've worn Captive and every night out i've swapped it for Girl About Town, which works perfectly with the Lipliner I picked up in the shade 'Magenta' (which was £11.50) I never would have chosen these shades for myself but I don't see myself wearing anything else on my lips for a long time!
I also re purchased my Pro Longwear Concealer I picked up the shade NC42, typically im going on holiday next week and no doubt it wont match when I get back but this is my shade for the majority of the year so I know I'll get use out of it!

Review | Revlon ColorStay Ultimate Suede Lipstick
Hey Guys!
I haven't heard a huge amount about Revlon's Colorstay lipsticks (I have been living under a bit of a rock ha!) so when I say them on offer for £6.99 in Boots I thought I'd have a lookie through the shades they have to offer. Im going on holiday soon so I really wanted a summery, quick and easy lipstick, thats long lasting in the heat.
What Revlon Say..
Is your lipstick giving you both moisture and wear? This velvety soft formula with moisturising Shea butter and Aloe is food proof and doesn't quit. 20 Shade. Apply once and go.
I picked up the shade 'It Girl' which is a pinky/coral that to me seems perfect for summer as its not to in your face, and I have to say I've fallen slightly in love with it. this is probably one of the longest lasting lipsticks I own, I couldn't believe it when it was still there after a night out. I love the colour against my skin tone (a problem I often struggle with) I think because the lipsticks aren't super pigmented they are nice and subtle, however you can easily build it up. The only one down side is they can be slightly drying and almost like they are sitting on top of your lips though so if you do suffer from dry lips I would advise putting a lip balm on first.
Overall Im impressed and will definitely be picking up some more shades while they are still on offer.
