Heavenly Creature..

This collection of Mac's 'Heavenly Creature' blush and eyeshadow has literally fallen from supernova heaven. I can't see how any woman on the high street can fight the temptation to buy these swirly pots of irridecent amazingness. 

I really had to restrain myself from buying more than just these two.. But after some serious debating I settled with 'Universal Appeal' and 'Star Wonder'








The colour of Star Wonder - the Skinfinish - is just amazing, it is so shimmery when you put it on your skin. It's a real girly pink colour but as it has gold running through still gives a highlighted effect. You can also mix and match the colours which I love.. I put it on today with a smaller blusher brush, picking out more of the pink than the gold.. Very versatile :)











I love purple eyes.. I usually only wear a dark purple eyeliner as I have green eyes and it accentuates them so much! So when i saw this eye shadow I thought it was amazing! When you mix them all together you get this browny copper colour but individually on their own are amazing too. If you run your finger down the lines you get three different colours right next to each other..


These are amazing products once again from Mac.. I haven't seen a collection that I've loved as much as this in ages.. They're so different to the rest of their products yet the quality and finish is just as good.. Save up your pennies and treat yourself!

Liptastic!


Lipstick can make such a big difference to a face-full of make-up and over the past couple years I've found that my face doesn't really feel complete without it as I've experimented more with make-up.. 
So i thought I'd blog my three FAVOURITE lipsticks ever ever to share with you all! :)
As you can see they have been well used and worth every penny!
Left to Right: Vegas Volt: Mac, My Treat: Benefit, Russian Red: Mac





The first lipstick that I love is 'My Treat' by Benefit.. This is a really moisterising lipstick and, although is very bright on the stick, comes out a light and fresh pink when applied. This is great for a quick 'pick me up' if you're making a more subtle appearance. This is one of Benefit's 'Silky Finish' lipsticks and has a really glossy look when it's on..I am a huge lover of all things Benefit..




Most people are drawn to MAC because of their gorgeous colours and wide variety but I can honestly say their lipsticks, for me, are probably the ones the feel the best on my lips and last the longest.
This one, 'Russian Red' is very heavy and will last on me nearly all day. If you don't want something quite so severe, I sometimes use this as a base and go over the top of it with something a bit lighter!

This has to be, out of the three, my all time fave. 'Vegas Volt' is a peachy orange colour which would look amazing on pretty much every skin tone. I own a lot of peachy-pink clothes as it seems to be a really popular colour at the moment and it matches fantastic with everything. You can make it more subtle by not applying as much for the day, but for a night out you can make a real statement with this lipstick. It also has a matte finish which I love but it isn't heavy when you put it on. - Sometimes i use it as a blush too as it's the kind of colour that works well on your cheeks.. But don't go too wild with it!! haha







As you can see they are all quite contrasting colours and each has a very different finish but are all so versatile .. 
They are all quite bold statement colours but can be toned down easily or mixed and matched which is what i love!

I hope I've inspired you into your next lipstick purchase!
