MAC Prep and Prime Lash

For some reason i am and always have been a real lash person, i think i feel that my eyes disappear without them so i do everything i can to make them stand out and frame my eyes. I have used this product in the past but i had completely forgotten about it until a couple of months ago.

It's really surprising what this does for my lashes i love it, it really thickens and adds volume whilst giving extra length with is everything i want from my lashes. I do curl my lashes a lot beforehand but i do and have done everyday since i can remember (unless i'm being really lazy).

If you love to make the most of your lashes i really recommend this product. It retails for £12.50 and you can check it out HERE

October MAC Giveaway

Mac staunchly Stylish Pro Longwear Lip Pencil

On a day to day basis i'm quite lazy with my makeup and i want to wear things that are going to last because generally i forget to re-apply or even look in a mirror to see if my face has melted off. I tend to wear this lip liner most days and here are the reasons why.

It actually does stay on, i know a lot of brands have a claim to their products but this really does last, it may need one more application through the day (obviously depending on what you are doing) but it has great staying power.

The colour is a perfect day to day colour for me i almost wear it with everything, i do apply it all over my lip so it is easy to blend in with most other colours but for me it is the perfect combination of pink/beige. If you apply it on your hand it does look quite dark but on the lips it is perfect.

The texture is not drying unlike most long wearing products, i don't feel the need to apply loads of lip balm after wearing this for a day.

This genuinely is a staple product in my everyday makeup bag, i do love all of the pro longwear lipliners that MAC have but this is definitely a staple.

They retail at £14.50 and you can get them from HERE 

My Professional Make-up Kit

Mac Pressed Pigments

I am a massive fan of the MAC pigments and reflects pigments and these don't fail to disappoint. The lighter colours come out quite soft so are great to be used over other eyeshadow to add glitter or you can use them wet and really give drama to that sparkle.

My favourite way to use them is for a smokey eye, the colours "Deeply Dashing" (a deep brow with silver glitter) and "Jet Couture" (a black with gold glitter) are perfect for this, i like to layer them over a paint pot and you have yourself the quickest smokey eye known to man. If you are looking for a new product for the upcoming autumn or dare i say it Christmas season, these are perfect!

Products Used Up #2

MAC Cremewash

So i know that MAC are not as well known for their skincare but i have to say i have been loving their Cremewash. It's nothing fancy and doesn't claim anything specific but i have been using it every morning and night for a couple of months and i have to say it does exactly what you want a cleanser to do.

I squeeze a small amount onto my hand with a small amount of water, create a foam and then massage it into my face. It feels so soft and removes every speck of make-up on my face and i have found it's great for any skin type especially if you find something oily breaks you out, this is the cleanser for you. It even has a very subtle hint of a smell (not too fragranced) it just smells very clean.

This retails at £15.50 which i think is an absolute bargain price compared to a lot of the cleansers that are on the market now and it lasts for because it foams you only need a small amount. You can check it out HERE
