Summer MAC Lipstick Picks


Hello five photos of my face. Sorry all. Thought I'd share my favourite MAC lipsticks that I'll be wearing this summer that are suitable for all occasions! They range from bold to subtle, bright to soft so there's something for every taste, occasion and style!

MAC 'Crosswires' (£15.50)

Crosswires is a pinky red in a creme sheen finish so is super creamy and pigmented and lasts for a pretty long time. It goes lovely with any makeup look and add a pop of colour that isn't too bright or in your face. It's a subtle take on a red, a summer pinky red if you like!

MAC 'Impassioned' (£15.50)
This is the definition of bright pinks. It's in your face and has blue undertones which make your teeth look so white! This is an amplified formula so is heavily pigmented and lasts for a really long time. 

MAC 'Milan Mode' (£15.50)
Milan Mode is a subtle pink shade which somehow looks very similar to Plumful here but I promise you it's pink! It does have flecks of sparkle, but it's nothing 90's style, it enhances the light bouncing off your lips and gives them a nice sheen, nothing sparkly here! It has a lustre finish so is pretty sheer but still has high pigmentation, perfect for summer as it wears evenly and doesn't leave that horrible ring around your lips!

MAC 'Plumful' (£15.50)

The perfect purple. Another lustre that is beautifully subtle. I was wary about buying a purple lipstick but the lustre finish makes it very wearable and it's become one of my most favourite every day lippies! It goes with any look, but I love wearing it with a white shirt, don't ask me why!

MAC 'Vegas Volt' (£15.50)
A full power coral, the definition of summer, and a take on an orange lip. This looks fab with a tan, it just brings out the tan and looks beaut. It's another amplified so lasts for a really long time, a must for a bright lippy like this! 

What are your favourite summer lipsticks? Sorry for the face heavy post but I wanted to show true to colour swatches!

acrylic 'muji style' lipstick storage



Yet another eBay bargain to feast your eyes on - I really am on a role with my eBay buying recently, it's becoming a problem. I've been lusting after some 'Muji' style storage for a while now due to it's sleek look and easy organisation for an ever-growing make up collection. I didn't want to go forking out for anything expensive, so naturally, as a student I ventured into the world of eBay to find a cheaper alternative. 

I only purchased this lipstick/nail polish holder for only £2.89 with free P&P which is an offer I simply couldn't refuse. It holds 12 items comfortably and sits very sturdily on any flat surface due to the thick clear acrylic. It looks very sleek, not cheap as the price tag suggests and the rounded corners give this a little extra something and stop any rough or sharp edges.

I am so so pleased with this purchase and when the acrylic draws come back into stock (and my next student loan payment is through) then I will definitely be the first to buy. 

Do you like the look of acrylic storage or do you prefer to just keep all your make up in a make up bag? Are you impressed by the price of this storage?
