The Notes: My MAC Lipstick Collection

Can you call 6 lipsticks a collection? Probably not, but as these are one of my favourite posts to read, I thought I would share my mini MAC lipstick collection. Neutral berry shades, moving into corals and a classic red to top it off; you can definitely see a slight theme going on here non? 

L-R:

Patisserie - My all time favourite and my go-to daily lippy. I actually have two of these - one for my dresser and another that lives in my handbag - just in case. The perfect 'My Lips But Better' shade that just goes with every eye make up look going. 

Brave - A slightly deeper version of Patisserie, with a blue undertone running through it. This one is another easy-wearer. 

Fanfare - My most recent addition - the perfect pale coral to ease into Spring. Not too bright, but more colour than the first two. 

Ruby by Pedro Lourenco - A limited edition, thats a twist on the classic Ruby Woo. A pillar box red in an Amplified finish, I love this with a simple eye look as a statement pop of colour. How pretty is the packaging though?

Crosswires - A bright summery coral, that packs more of a punch than Fanfare. It looks great when wearing pastel colours and a gold/bronzey eye. 

Plumful - Another beauty addict fave right here. This is a deep berry shade that rocks during the colder months with a smokey eye.

A quick breakdown of my MAC lipsticks - I'm sure there will be a few new additions as the year goes on!

The Notes: Because I'm all about that Base

Foundations: one of the trickiest things to get right when it comes to make up. Like many make up wearers, I have trawled my way through many formulas, brands and colours (you name it, I've tried it) to find the best foundation to suit all my skin needs. But I think I have just about got myself covered for any skin/ life scenario with my top 3 bases:

For the 'my skin looks so dull' day: 
The Nars Sheer Glow foundation is a cult product, and for good reason. The silky formula blends easily, leaving a beautiful finish, which literally looks like ' a glow from within'. Had a sleepless night? No problem, Nars has you sorted with this one.

For the 'my skin hates me' day:
You know the days, when you have redness, sensitivity, blemishes - the whole shebang, and you just want to crawl back under the duvet? Well the Chanel Perfection Lumiere has your back (or your face) when these problems arise. Targeted specifically to correct all types of imperfections, the Perfection Lumiere really is a good skin day in a bottle.

For the 'my skin doesn't know what it wants' day:
Buildable coverage? Check. Not too matte, but not too dewy? Check. Decent shade range? Double Check. The Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation is one that has been on my wish list for quite some time. Having recently succumbed and bought a bottle, I'm sold. 100%. It has everything you need in a decent foundation, and no matter if my fussy skin is having an oily day, or a drier day, Luminous Silk smooths it out and leaves a natural finish. We're playing with the big boys now.
