Navy

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I’m loving the deep navy blue lip with the neutral shimmery eye make-up and the light grey sweater. I should wear this lip colour again soon.

MAC Christmas presents

I know it’s been about a month since Christmas, but I thought I would still show you a few of the Christmas presents I received. I got three make-up products and they’re all from MAC.

I got the lipstick in Diva which is a classic MAC lipstick shade and one I’ve been wanting for a long time. It’s a beautiful matte burgundy shade, and even though I have several lipsticks in this colour family this one has quickly become a favourite.

I also got the Pro Longwear Paintpot in the shade Groundwork which has also been on my wishlist for a while. It’s a very nice mid-tone brown that works beautifully on it’s own or as a base for powder shadows.

Lastly, I got a single eye shadow to add to my palette. It’s in the shade Amber Lights and it’s a gorgeous golden amber colour.

Green and metallic nude

Dramatic

Here’s the make-up I wore at a Christmas party Saturday December 3. My camera wouldn’t cooperate that day, so my outfit pictures turned out so bad that they’re not worth showing here. I thought I would show you my make-up look anyways which turned out quite dramatic. After doing my eye make-up I though about wearing a more neutral lipstick, but I just really wanted to wear the Jeffree Star Velour liquid lipstick in Unicorn Blood, because it’s so gorgeous.

Exciting Velour liquid lipsticks

dsc_1625dsc_1629

My latest order of Jeffree Star Velour liquid lipsticks is really exciting. I purchased one of the shades I’ve been wanting since I first discovered Jeffree Star Cosmetics, his first metallic shade, and two shades from his limited edition holiday collection. Redrum was one of the original three Velour liquid lipsticks and I’ve heard several youtubers say that it’s their go-to red lipstick. As you might know by now red is my go-to lip colour, so I’ve been wanting Redrum for so long, and when I finally saw it on Beauty Bay I bought it right away. I’ve worn it a few times and it really is gorgeous; such a good classic red. I love that Jeffree has started making metallic liquid lipsticks as well, and since his first metallic shade released he has come out with two more. But the shade I’ve got is Dreamhouse which is the perfect name for a metallic hot pink lipstick. I wore it New Year’s Eve and it was so cool and festive. Lastly, I had to pick up a couple of his holiday lipsticks. I chose the shades Pumpkin Pie and Crocodile Tears. Pumpkin Pie is a terracotta orange with red/pink and gold shimmer (I think – it’s hard to see the exact colours of the shimmer) and Crocodile Tears is a dark green. I haven’t worn these shades yet, but I’m really excited to play around with them.

Deep pink

Small collective haul

dsc_1524

Here’s a few products I picked up over the past few months. The MAC lip pencil is in the shade Redd, and I’ve been wanting it for quite a while, but it had been sold out online and at my local MAC counters for months. I wanted it because it’s a yellow based red and I thought it would be perfect for all my bright yellow based red lipsticks. I also picked up another Rimmel Exaggerate lip liner in the shade 018 Addiction which is a really pretty nude. I had been wanting to try out the Wet n Wild Megaglo contouring palette in the shade Dulce De Leche, because I had heard good things about it, so when I finally found it in the right shade I had to try it out. The colours are really nice for my fair skin and so far I quite like it. On the same day I also picked up the Wet n Wild Coverall primer which I really like as well.

Dirty money
