My first MAC lipstick

I'm pretty much a MAC virgin, all I owned was a liquid liner which went missing ages ago. However, my lovely friend Jessica was a doll and spoilt me and sent me my first ever MAC lipstick

Thank you Jessica!

I've had my eye on a lot of the satin finish lipsticks but I really wanted to try snob. I normally go for quite bright lipsticks and glosses but I'm really enjoying testing out some lighter shades. When I first applied snob I thought I disliked it- it's a really strong colour that only needs to be applied lightly. I applied it again today and now I'm in love with it, it makes my lips feel really soft and gives off that perfect bubblegum pink colour which I love.

I think next on my list to try is sweetie.

Do you own any MAC lipsticks? Which ones are your favourites?

Natural Collection haul.

What counts as a haul? 3 items? Well, you'll have to make do because I am super broke and technically spent my bread/milk/orange juice fund on some cosmetic treats (like you've never done that!)

I went into Boots to get a prescription and planned on buying a lipstick from the Natural Collection range after hearing good things about them. At £1.99, I couldn't resist. And then I saw the Natural Collection tinted moisturiser and, again, at under £2 I kind of had to. Luckily for me, they were on 3 for 2 so I also picked up the lash conditioner and will be trying it out over the next week or two every night to see if I think it makes a difference.

All in all, for under £4 for 3 items, I reckon I got a bargain! The tinted moisturiser went on my hands and forehead beautifully and leaves a radiant shine- I picked up the natural shade and may well pick up some of the other shades too at the weekend. The lipstick is a sheer natural lip colour in shade honeysuckle and I'll be trying this out tomorrow.

Have you ever bought any Natural Collection products? What did you think?

An accidental LOTD!

As much as I want to go into detail about the lovely bronzed sunset look I created on my eyes this morning using lovely browns and pinks, it hasn't really shown up in the photo. However, the highlight of my look today was done totally by mistake! I applied Chanel Rouge Hydrabase lipstick in shade 136 Rosedrop and went to apply a sheer peach lipgloss over the top but, in my rush to leave, I accidentally applied a slightly more orange colour. The lipgloss used was Rimmel Volume Boost but the shade has worn away so I'm afraid I can't tell you exactly what it is.

I reckon they look fairly nice together! What do you think? Have you ever made a beauty mistake that turned out well?
