Make up:MAC lipsticks

So in my previous hauls post I showed my two new MAC lipsticks but I saved the swatches and talking about them for this post:D

As I said before I've grown a little tired of nude and pink lips,I still love them but I fancied a bit of a mix up.As for the great gyaru debate~ "gyaru don't wear brights!!only nudes!!"  Tbh I'm not overaly bothered by  it as I just wear what I like and I think there are plenty of gyaru~model or western alike who wear brights and still look gyaru:D  

So back to the post....

I have some bright lipsticks already ( my Revlons ) but their Matte (formula descriptions summary~HERE) which can be drying and personally I think they need a liner.

So here the MAC I picked up ,both are Amplified Cremes(which are High impact and high color formulas) ,I picked up Vegas Volt described on the MAC site as a "Full Power Coral" and Impassioned described as a "Amped Up Fuchsia"

Pardon the crappy lip photos,they were a tad rushed.

 Vegas Volt

Impassioned

My MAC lipstick collection so far..

Here they are swatched with Creme cup which is a cremesheen

So what do I think of them:

(DISCLAIMER~Not recommending as different colours suit different people and different products react differently as well,i.e one product might be a persons HG  but for another it just wont work.This is just my thoughts and opinions on them)

Creme cup was an impulse buy which I don't regret in the slightest :D(I seldom impulse buy anymore and if I impulsively want something when Im out ,I usually still have my  willpower to talk me out it buying it:D )

 Described on the MAC website as a "Light Blue pink" which I think is pretty true,its perfect for me to wear as an everyday lipstick. The formula is gorgeous,not drying and quite moisturing (but not as much as my YSL).I often pop it on for work:D

As for Impassioned and Vegas Volts, I'm usually kinda shy of bright lipsticks .So it was completely out of character for me to get either of them,but I am very happy with them.Their opaque,creamy and super pigmented. Surprisingly they last a fair bit and so far*touch wood* hasn't left me with the dreaded lip ring thing some lipsticks do when they've faded:O

 Price:£12.50 (thou I got Impassioned free with my back to MAC ) To me that is and  isn't expensive if that makes sense,there are certainly cheaper lipsticks but there are also plenty that are double the price.Besides I'm a quality over quantity and price kinda girl so if a products definitely works and is amazing I'll surely consider buying it.

Amplified creme  and Cremesheen are so apt for these lipsticks formulas.For me I can safely say these lipsticks are in my most loved collection alongside my YSL Rouge Volupte #7.

Next on my wish list is MAC Russian Red and YSL Rouge Volupte, Rouge Pur and Rough Pur Couture(yerr I liked my YSL that much I want more)

Do you wear bright lipsticks?Whats your favourite?

Update:Outfits,make up,nails and recent revlon lipsticks I brought plus swatches:)

 So before my recent blush boom,I was craving lipsticks(still am really:O)

So after browsing my local Superdrugs and looking at the new realesed Revlon lipsticks~Color Burst

I felt drawn to the matt collections,I don't usually buy lipsticks especially drugstore ones as I find most have a lustre on them which i think looks old.

Anyways I found myself really liking alot of Revlon's lipsticks,Im usually abit wary of buying lipsticks as i don't fully know what colours suit me and I worry they'll look rubbish.So after going home empty handed I had a gander on ebay to try and find one particular colour I felt drawn to Strawberry suede and ended up finding 4 brand new lipsticks for about £10 :O which is brill considering they retail at £7.50 each!

 So I ended up getting ,Nude Attitude(which I wanted to try),Pink Pout, Pink about it and Strawberry Suede(which was the one i wanted in the 1st place)

Swatches

Nude Attitude

 Pink Pout

Pink about it

 Strawberry Suede

So I like them all but my fave now is Pink Pout,I think the darker colours ages me alittle but still wearable.
however I really need to wear a lipliner with these lipsticks,so I shall have to invest:)

So my current Lipstick collection looks like this now

 All the Revlons on the left then, YSL #7 (<3), Rimmel Pink Vintage, Rimmel Sassy and finally Barry-m 101

Swatches of some of my other lipsticks

Barry-m 101

I never wear this on its own,I don't find it a particularly nice formula but it works well at concealing your lipcolour,so I use it as a base for nude lips and add pink gloss over it.

YSL #7

A fair few gyaru models have this lipstick, Kumikki, Suzu, Tsubasa (their the only ones i can think of off the top of my head)

Rimmel Vintage Pink

 I forgot to swatch the other one:o




Next lipsticks I have my eye on are MAC's Myth and Creamcup,I've added them to my wish list:)



Some other photos from recently.(i.e from the lash month till now)

EOTD make up for the Evening

After Seeing Jenny's(aka SushiCat) post about theses lashes I had to buy some aswell,I've got cheap bulk ebay lashes before,but for some reason hadn't brought any more cute/different styles.Such a good way to try them out and so cheap it doesn't matter if you ruin themby layering them up:D

Nails for that week( can't take credit for the design,I was trying to do the mani that Rui has in my gal model blog spam)
Simple nude and baby pink with a few diamantes:)

Went out for a jdrama night at my friend's house,so simple make up and played around with my hot rollers:D

  :o I tried to make this as small as possible but it's still a large post,sorry

I got my kate eyeshadow paletteXD

I still don't quite get blogspot,Im more used to lj.I took that--> photo this evening after work.It was such a refreshing evening makes me feel annoyed for wasting most of the summer:(
All I do at the moment is work and sleep.I've been very tired recently( I only work 3 hours a day and I get home and im exhusted and nap for an hour)I mentioned it in my last entry.
I'm pretty sure its a B vitamins deficiency.
I had something similar 2 years ago,we thought it was poor iron storage at the time but now im thinking it's not enought B12 vitamins.
Im taking supplements to help and will be eating more Vitamin B12 rich foods to help.Hopefully I'll see a noticable differents:D



I got a few things in the mail recently,suprisingly I haven't spent all that much this month.

For the last 2/3 months I've wanted to get a new lipstick,I don't really use lipsticks but that largely becuase I don't know what colours would suit me.
When I lived near a MAC counter,I asked the MUA what colours would suit me and well..she was pretty useless and I left none the wiser.
I started thinking about the lipsticks I used to have when I was younger which were mostly Rimmel.
I've sort of forgotten Rimmel and alot of other drugstore brands becuase I feel they don't sell the specfic colours or products I want.


Anyways,since I don't wear lipsticks often I didn't really want to spend loads of money on one,so I looked into Rimmels colour selection.I found alot of the colours were shimmer-y(which I don't like for lipsticks..gloss ok but not lipsticks)until I found these two,they are Vintage Pink 108 and Sassy 020.
Best of all I got them off ebay for about £3 each:DThe new packaging they have is lovely too,so far I like Vintage Pink the best as its more wearable for me where as Sassy is pinker/redder and has some shimmer.


So a few more things I got this week were TREsemme 24 hour volume conditioner and my very first Kate palette.I've been wanting to try this for age,I brought the grey colour way(BK1) because I've got a green revlon eyeshadow palette and a bourjois brown palette but i don't own anything to make smokey eyes bar black and white eyshadows.
So far Im very happy with it.I also got DHC oil blotting paper,I was a little suprised by this ,Im used to oil blotting paper having powder on it.This doesn't and the sheets are massive!!
oddly the plastic case it comes in smells like South Africa to me,which is nice and nostalicXD
