MAC it mine!! MAC Lipstick Haul

I suffer from a hereditary issue that has affected almost every woman in my blood line, not as dramatic as it sounds but we suffer from having no top lip. *GASP* This means that I often attempt a duck pout to give the illusion my lips are se-metrical, however for those of you who are Facebook friends you will realise this is something I now constantly do, for this I am sorry. I am currently having a go a drawing in a top lip, it's so much harder than it sounds. But even though I suffer, I am a lipstick addict. Splurging stupid money to feed my habit.

So, I was given the most amazing MAC lipstick, I loved it so much that after two wears I lost it on a girls night out and can't for the life of me remember the name. I am truly gutted! But armed with a photo of me wearing the shade I was hoping that one of the MAC artists would be able to help.


Unfortunately, even with this photo I wasn't able to find my beloved shade. So I settled for the closest the MAC artist suggested, which is still really stunning! In fact I went lipstick mad and left with another beautiful nude shade. 

These photos really do not portray the true colours of the lipsticks but I have tried my best!

My replacement lipstick is an Amplified Creme Lipstick in Girl About Town. A lovely fuchsia
pink with a blue undertone. This lipstick leaves a lovely sheen to your lips and gives a lasting colour. I would recommend using a lip liner for a crisp edge, I use Laura Mercier Lip Pencil in Crushed Berry.

The second lipstick I picked up is Satin Lipstick in Pink Nouveau. A subtle, dusky pink. This is a lot more matte than Girl About Town, but it still has a little shine and is really beautiful.

New Year, New Blog!

Hello and Happy New Year to all my lovely followers! 
Pre sickness selfie
I know a lot of you have been wondering where I have been for the last year and some of you have been popping back to see if I have updated the blog. I had an amazing opportunity to take part in a PR internship and work with an amazing skin care brand. I have had a fantastic year but I was so busy that my blog took a back seat. However in 2014 I am going to bring it back and update it as much as possible, with lots of exciting content.

I have spent the last couple of months in and out of hospital and been pretty poorly! But I am feeling much better and hope that 2014 will start to get better! On the plus side I have spent a lot of time with my cat :)


If there is anything you feel my blog needs I would love to hear from you!  Also, If you fancy keeping up to date with me please follow my twitter and Instagram accounts.
