Mini M.A.C Haul | Lips ♡

So, you guessed it, I went shopping again.. What a surprise eh!?

I decided to take a nice little stroll into M.A.C as I had seen a girl on Instagram wearing the 'Soar' lip liner and I immediately knew that I just had to get this shade. Naturally, I stumbled upon a couple other bits and bobs along the way. I was also planning on purchasing either 'Stripdown', 'Spice' or 'Whirl', as I know these particular lip liners are very popular, but in the end I decided to opt for a very soft, baby pink shade called 'Hip 'N' Happy'.

I also decided to have a little browse at the lipstick's and managed to limit myself to buying one shade, 'Pink Plaid'. As you can tell I was having a very pink day that particular day but I actually do not have any nude pink lipstick's in my collection (I know right, what an outrage!) so I thought I had better add a little bit of pink into my makeup family!

'Hip 'N' Happy' is a really subtle baby pink shade and at first I really did not anticipate this shade suiting my complexion at all as I am very pale and I also have a yellow undertone to my skin, however, to my surprise, this shade compliments my skin colour very nicely which I am super pleased about! 

'Soar' is a beautiful darker toned pink and it really does make your lips pop, giving them that nice natural toned pink colour that we all love.

'Pink Plaid' is a shade slightly in between both of the colour's of these lip liners, maybe more towards 'Hip 'N' Happy if anything, and I am totally obsessed with it. You can bet that any time you now see a photo of me on Instagram, I will be 100% wearing this lipstick! It is beautiful! A lot of people say that 'Pink Plaid' is very similar to 'Please Me' and nine times out of ten people toying between these two shades always tend to prefer 'Please Me'. I haven't tried or even seen 'Please Me' so I couldn't say which one I prefer but, nevertheless, 'Pink Plaid' is the one I now own and I love it!

The best thing about my purchases from M.A.C is that both of the lip liners compliment the lipstick really well which is always a bonus (you can then explain to everyone moaning at you for buying 'another lipstick!?' that these weren't a waste of money as they all go together - does the trick for me anyway!) as you then don't have to worry about which lip liner to go for when applying your lipstick.

Hopefully this post didn't make you want to go and spend all of your money, oops!

My Top 5 Beauty Products ♡

Today's blog post is a collaboration with Hannah Porter so make sure you also head over to her blog and check her post out.

We have decided to write about our Top 5 Beauty products, as you can probably guess by the title!

My first beauty product is obviously going to be foundation right!? This is a must have, especially for us unlucky girls with redness/spots etc. I am currently using two and these are the Lord & Berry Cream Foundation and Benefit Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow Foundation. I must admit that I'm not crazy about either of these two at the moment, as I have been using them for a while now, and I am currently on the hunt for a new foundation, I'm thinking Nars Sheer Glow..

I could not live without my trusty Mac Soft & Gentle highlighter! I just adore that fresh and pretty glow this highlighter gives you. You can also use this as an all over lid colour and a brow highlight, so this is definitely an all round winner for me.

Benefit Roller Lash mascara, or any mascara for that matter, is definitely a must have for me (what's new Char..) as you could wear no makeup at all and just have on a little mascara and you instantly look more awake.

Anastasia Brow Wiz is my new favourite! I love how natural the finish of this product is (definitely no Scouse brows in sight for sure!) and the wide range of shades is amazing. In my opinion, I feel that brows give that necessary shape to the face that it needs when completing any makeup look.

Mac's Soar Lip Liner is for sure in my top 5 beauty products!! I just cannot get enough of this beautiful shade and the best aspect about lip liner is the fact that you can use it as an all over shade just like a lipstick!

What are your top 5 beauty products?xoxo
