5 most worn MAC lipsticks

It seems to be a trend for me that I get inspired to make blog posts when people ask me random little question. For example, I was getting ready to go out to dinner the other night and my friend and I were getting ready together. She turned to me and asked, "which lipstick should I wear?"

This got me thinking, whenever I'm getting ready I always get a little overwhelmed with all the lipstick options and in the end I always seem to just go back to the same ones I always wear. So, I thought I'd share them with you! Rather than going through my whole collection, I would probably have a heart attack, I decided to just go with the brand I own the most of. MAC. So here are my top 5 most worn lipsticks from MAC!


In no particular order...



1. Creme Cup










This light pink is one of my favourites. It is also one of the first MAC lipsticks I purchased so it will always be special to me. I think what I like most about it is the fact that it is quite light and because I am so pale it's not an overpowering baby pink. 


2. Snob 









This is a colour I think everyone has. I think that's because anyone can wear it. Whether your tan or as pale as I am it's not too harsh and that's what makes it so universal! 


3. Angel












I think by now you've guessed I love pink. This lipstick is quite sheer compared to the others and I think thats why it makes my top 5 most worn. I like this mainly because it's sheer but not to the point where I may as well not wear it. 


4. Brave 










This is much darker than the others and this is probably more of a autumn / winter colour. I thought I should add this because I do wear it quite often in other months and just because I haven't now, in summer, doesn't mean it's not a most worn! The colour just suits anyone, amazing! 


5. Gaga 2









This is what I would call a "Bold Nude." It's not really a lipstick you could wear on its own or you would look like you have foundation on your lips. At first this actually scared me a little but now I love it! If you line your lips with pink and blend it out its a lot less concealer looking and actually goes well with anything! You could put on any lip liner as long as you blended it out! Unfortunately though this is actually a limited addition and I'm not sure you can get it anymore. Sorry. 



As you can tell I really enjoy my pinks and my neutrals. I would also like to add that just because these happen to be my most worn that doesn't make them my favourites. I love bright colours but day to day, because of where I live, it would look quite strange me wearing bright colours! This is a pity because I love brights!

What I love most about MAC lipsticks is the fact that there is such a wide range of colours with such an amazing formula! They stay on and they don't get that "cracked" look after only a few hours.

I would love to hear what your most worn lipsticks are! What brands do you love? Are you like me and stuck with basic colours because of where you live? Tell me in the comments below!

Thank you so much for reading my blog! I love all the support I've been getting, it's so amazing!

Maybelline New York eyestudio; gel eyeliner review

I recently bought a high end brand's eyeliner and it was absolute rubbish! I won't name the brand because I don't want to give negative reviews, but I feel like this just proves you don't need to spend a large amount to get good result. I seem to be constantly trying new eyeliners but I do have a few favourites. Maybelline New York's gel eyeliner being one of them.




Obviously with the glass jar and plastic lid it is quite durable! This means you can literally throw it into your bag if you're in a hurry - which I've actually done a number of times 




When I first got this eyeliner I only got Blackest Black. After I tried it I fell in love and went on and got Brown. Although I personally don't use Brown that frequently if I do decide to use brown eyeliner this is the one I use. 








I have also swatched both for you using different thicknesses. 






For all the swatches I used the brush that comes with the set. 








I also think that, considering they came free with the product, the brushes are quite decent. You can purchase better brushes in stores but I think you could hold off and use these. 


I, again, looked up the prices for the top 3 places that I have readers. 

UK: £4.99
AUSTRALIA:
$14.99 

USA:
$9.99

Overall this gel liner is comparable to that of a high end product. It apply's easily, doesn't dry out and is smooth.  It also last for hours, no smudging. The brush was also a lovely surprise! I had low expectations but I gave it a go and I was happily proven wrong with its quality. So, if you are interested in trying gel liner for the first time or even adding to your collection I would highly reccommend the Maybelline New York gel liner!

Thank you so much for reading my blog! Tell me below if there is anything you want reviewed or just something you want me to talk about, I'll see what I can do!
