Lady Danger

Had 12 empty cartons to take back to mac yesterday! I got a back up candy yum yum and thought I'd give lady danger a try. Wow love this it's a gorgeous colour an orange based red that does run more orange on me. Love the finish of this - I'm a sucker for mac matte lippies at the moment the colour lasts forever and a day and there's no colour transfer - in other words I went out last night for seven hours and didn't reapply once. Another winner by MAC :)

MAC hot nights

I'm a sucker for MAC and since my palette has a space in it my OCD took over and I needed to fill that space. So thought I'd get a blush I couldn't decide what colour but have been drawn to hot nights in the new LE collection. I'm a bit anal and wanted my palette to all be colour coordinated but what good that if I haven't got the colours in it I actually want! Anyway grabbed hot nights popped home and depotted it to pop into my palette. This blush is a gorgeous purple/magenta that has some serious colour pay off you literally need to slightly swipe your brush across the top of the blush and that gives you more than enough colour. It seems to have pretty good lasting power too. Overall love the blush! Now wishing I'd also picked up ripe for love in the same collection!

Sculpting Powder and Shaping Powder

Today my new goodies arrived - yay just in time for the sunshine :) I had a blusher palette for 6 blush and had pro sculpting powder pan in sculpt and the shaping powder in accentuate. Well I already own a gazillion highlighters and taupe blush as a contour so it wasn't really a vital purchase but hey ho!
Well what can I say sculpt I'd perfect as a contour and some blendable - I love taupe but can see why it's a blush as opposed to a shaping powder taupe is more sheer and has a slight sheen, sculpt is perfectly matte. In the pan there's a slight difference and sculpt looks more orange based but on the skin it looks like the perfect shadow whereas taupe looks a little ashy and dirty if applied too heavily.

Accentuate is a shaping powder ie highlighter for those areas you want to bring forward - cheekbones, brow bones, centre of nose, Cupid's bow. It's fab and unlike any highlighter I already own (surprisingly) its rather sheer and has absolutely no glitter yay! It's a light pinky colour which leans towards a white - perfect!

These product will no doubt become my HG products. Thank you MAC yet another winner :)

MAC nail varnish girl about town.

Never really fancied MAC nail polishes before find it hard to pay that amount of money but I had to buy this one it's a gorgeous colour and after a couple of coats my nails are perfectly covered in a creamy pink that's pure high gloss! Love it and seems another mac product ill be addicted too!

MAC summer shower Lipstick

Love my postman delivering me new goodies and today's were as exciting as ever. I'd been trying to track down this lippy for months as it was limited edition a while back. It's fab on its own for summer or to add a bit of summery feeling to flat matte colours. I finally found one new and boxed from an eBay seller I rate very highly and have used a few times before, I got it for a bargain £3.20 posted love it! It doesn't run green at all on me it looks almost pearlescent blue/purple. Pictures below of the lipstick and it on my lips (excuse the seriously bad hair!)

Ruby woo

I have been and will probably continue to be in search of the perfect pillar box red. I've tried so many and thought I'd hit the nail on the head purchasing ruby woo how ever I do love love love the colour but its running fairly pinky red on me - maybe this is because of my pigmented lips? I've tried nude liner underneath but it turns even more pink! I do love the matte finish and the staying power and it'll get its use! Ah well the search continues (good excuse to keeping buying hey?)

Myth satin lipstick

I was desperate for a nude lippy but with a good coverage after my hue disaster I popped to MAC an picked up the original one I wanted - myth. This is a great nude, I have fairly pink pigmented lips so this does run a slightly pink nude on me which is fab because on lighter skin/less pigmented lips I think it could easily look a bit "concealer" lips.
