Nude Attitude

The fourth product from Glossybox is this Revlon Lipstick. I am not a fan of nudes. I have nudes but I rarely use them. I love my bright lipsticks, I think they suit me well and I don't have any confidence issues wearing them. Also I feel like nudes look so much better on people with darker skin. They skin and brown eyes are enough colour whereas I am super pale with God knows what colour eyes.

This one is a matte finish and it is very pigmented so you will need to make sure your lips are smotth and scrubbed. It is very much like MAC Satin lipstick, very rich yet matte. 

The colour of this lipstick is 001 Nude Attitude  and to be honest on me it seems a little bit orange. In the tube the lipstick looks like it is foundation colour but it has orange undertone. I feel like this would be nice colour on darker skin rather than on pale as it makes me look ill. And, that is what nude lipsticks do to you if you don't get the right colour.

The price of this lipstick is £7.99 and you can find it at superdrugs, you might find luck in other shops and you most definitely find it online. 

Revlon has a big range of colours and I am sure you will find you perfect match as for the actual quality for the lipstick I really like it! It is a great quality drug store lipstick for yourself and as a gift.

Lipstick

Pink Lips

I always wanted to get a bright lipstick but not so bright like plump colours or red, something that is everyday wearable but quite subtle. Of course I went to MAC to find a nice colour. I must say I wasn't impressed as I only found a few ones that I really like. MAC does a good range of reds or nudes and those colours were not what I was after. I did find this little gem. It is a colour Likable  in a cremesheen finish. Cremesheen finish means that it is glossy rather than matte. 

The colour is very beautiful, pigmented and it even stains lips. The staining is good if you wanna maintain the colour through the day but you will struggle to take it off. A good make up remover will get the job done well so don't worry. 

At the moment these lipsticks are for £15.50. They are pricey but it is MAC and all the make up is costly from MAC. Is it worth the price? No I don't think it is, but I got it as a treat for myself. 

If you are looking for a very pretty dark pink to make your lips look all juicy and nice and you have extra cash to spend go for it. If you wanna treat yourself- go for it. It is a great colour and it will suit fair or tanned skin  and would really complement your skin and your eyes (whatever the colour they are).

Highlighter

Light the cheekbones 

I love a good highlighter. My go to would probably be a MAC one however I do love this Benefit What's up highlighter. It is a cream product and I wanna call it a thick one. When you put it on you REALLY have to blend it in. It comes with a sponge on one end and product on the other however, I hardly use a sponge bit I always find it useless and it doesn't really blend that well. It has a strong golden glow so it is amazing for a sunny day as it will have like a tanned effect and it really highlights your cheekbones or anywhere else you want a lift. It is super glowy and it makes your skin look young and healthy, I think. 

This costs £24.50 but there is also a mini version which is £9.90 and it just comes as a chubby stick. Benefit is good for making the product normal size and mini. As the products aren't always the cheapest it's great that you can start with a mini before buying a original size. You have no idea how many beauty, hair and skincare product I bought that I absolutely hated. 

Personally I think this highlighter is a good investment as it really does highlight beautifully, But recently I heard that you shouldn't be wearing make up with golden undertones/sheen on a rainy day as it makes your face look dull. So experiment!

MAC Collection

So I thought I would upload my MAC collection. I do not own a lot of MAC products but the ones that I own are my mainly used ones, and I think I have pretty nice collection. All the beauty essentials! (What else do you need? ;) )

 

1. MAC Face and Body foundation in C1 - C shades are  with yellow undertone however the undertone does not make you orange it makes your skin look like you have a little tan (however, don't forget to blend into your neck and your ears). Face and body doesn't have great coverage but the coverage can be build-able. The foundation leaves a dewy finish but it photographs beautifully even with the thinnest layer of foundation. (There would be a colour for EVERY skin colour.)

2. MAC Soft and Gentle highlighter - probably is the best highlighter I've even came across! Seriously it is so nice, It has gold finish but also have a hint of colour which is like brownish/pinkish. It could be worn with the whole shebang as well as on it's own. OHHHHH but it looks sooooo pretty on darker skin. (There are more bronzy colours as well as colours for lighter skin.)

3. MAC Black Track eyeliner - One of the strongest eyeliners  I have ever tried. And trust me I tried soooo many. I have really oily eyelids but this one stayed the longest on my eyes. When it sets, it sets for good. It also sets as mat, which I think it's always flattering.  (They also have more colour - browns can be for eyebrows if you mastered the art of drawing hairs.)

4. MAC Satin finish lipstick in Pink Nouveau - it's a satin finish, which mean it is a mat lipstick but it is very moisturizing. The colour is strong and stays pretty well (unless you are eating then you need to touch up.)  It is not for everyone but I like a bright lipstick and it brings out the blueness of my eyes as it has cold undertones. (Again toooons of colours and finishes.)

That's the end of my little MAC collection, which is loved by me very much.
