My Mac Lipstick Collection

Hello lovelies, So although I have started my Youtube channel now, I still want to stay active on here and post totally different things to keep you all happy. So today I am going to talk to you on here about my Mac Lipstick Collection!



So I haven't actually been buying Mac lipsticks for that long, but I don't need to tell any of you how addictive it is. I currently have 8, which is just enough to fill my little lipstick tray, so for now, I am content (Until i next visit mac probably)

I know a lot of you will probably 100% agree with me when people (men, I.E Boyfriends) say why do you have so many lipsticks that are exactly the same colour. No. Just No. I am like most, and I have a favourite sort of shade, and so I have some similar ones, but each and every colour is different. 


These are currently all the colours I own, and I do also think a lot of them look very different on, then in the actual tube. Fresh Moroccan, Creme in your coffee and Taupe are all similar shades, however they all have different finishes. Taupe (which I have mentioned before in my blog as one of my faves) is matte which gives a very different effect to Fresh Moroccan which is frost.

Velvet Teddy and Shy girl are my two nudes, but both have such a different impact. Velvet teddy is probably most well known from the Kardashians and those amazing lips! Shy Girl is actually one i recently acquired from my best friend who didn't think it suited her, so naturally I stole it. Again velvet teddy is a matte, which I do love, but it can sometimes dry your lips a lot easier than the other finishes.

Bombshell is a bit of the odd one out of this collection, its very pink compared to the others which are quite natural tones but I do really like this one, and I think I will be wearing it a lot more in the summer as it really stands out. And then Brick-O-La and New York apple are the closest I will get to red probably, I don't think red really suits me that much and whenever I am brave enough to wear it, it always ends up all over my face or teeth. Not nice. Brick-O-La was actually the first one I purchased out of all of these and I still love it now.

Now, as I previously mentioned, I do own some similar shades and on this photo you may look at some and go, they are the same, but if you really look at the texture and the shine to them, you can tell they will look a lot different actually on the lips.

I go through so many phases with what I like to wear, I find it hard to pick just one out of them all. Let me know what your favourite is out of mine, or even out of your own collection (Or want list), I'd love to know, and always good to get ideas for what to buy next.

Thanks for reading guys, and if you havn't already I would love you forever if you went over and subscribed to my brand new Youtube channel by clicking HERE, A new video will be posted on Thursday!

Whats in my bag

Hello lovelies, wow has it really been that long? Just a quick little update from uni (because that is the reason for my lack of posting) I have my last ever deadline on Wednesday!! So the stress is almost over! Today however, I wanted to do the what's in my bag tag.




The first item is my purse, this purse is from River Island and I think i've had it for about 3 years now, and I haven't found any other purse that could replace it as of yet. I will be gutted if it ever breaks on me. It's just the perfect size with the perfect amount of compartments and I love it.


I am not the most tidy of persons when it comes to my purse, I constantly have receipts sticking out everywhere and train tickets etc. but it does the job!



Next is my handbag makeup bag, I always like to have a smaller makeup bag for my handbag as I never like to lug around all my makeup. At the moment this little bag is a black one from Ted Baker. I switch what goes in this all the time, but at the moment it is just the Maybelline matte mousse foundation, a Mac lipstick in the shade 'creme in your coffee' which I am loving at the moment, and then just some hand gel.


I think this picture just sums up the weather we are having in the UK at the moment, I am carrying an umbrella and sunglasses! The umbrella I have at the moment is the amazing Pandora one I got from work. And I need some new sunglasses but these are just some ones from Topshop. 


If you know me, you will know I will not be anywhere without a hairbrush, I probably brush my hair a bit too often to be honest. So that is an essential for my bag, and then I also have the worlds smallest pencil case as my friends like to call it. Its basically just got enough room for two pens and a highlighter, which is all I need for uni. So its perfect. (I do have a bigger one too, just don't like carrying that round with me everywhere)



I shall start with my little business card holder. I have this to keep my business cards in and any that I get given, to keep them nice and safe. I then have my mini mac book which is actually a pocket mirror (Which you may have seen on my 'what I got for Christmas haul') And then lastly, when I was at work the other day I took a few of my charms off my bracelet so I popped it in that little pouch for now. 

And lastly, your bag would be pretty useless without your keys. I have my house keys for Uni and my house keys for home along with my car keys.

And that is everything that I take round with me in my bag! If you guys have done a similar post, I would love to see what you keep in yours!
