Overview | Top MAC Lip Products

-
I wanted to put together the top lip colours that I gravitate towards and why I would recommend them.  Everyone has one and these are mine. MAC colours are very pigmented with an opaque coverage and have a lovely vanilla scent. These are some of the first lipsticks I've purchased that I love an enjoy wearing to pretty much all occasions.

I found them all the be universally flattering, meaning all tones of skin will be able to pull them off.  These would also be the shades for MAC starters. Creme de Nude may be the only one thats hard to make work but it depends on what blush you pair it with that will make the difference.



Angel
Is the gorgeous shade of pink you can slap on to add some soft colour to our face without feeling like it's over powering- it's a good alternative to a brown shade of lipstick. Angel is a neutral pink with some hint of brown and cool undertones. MAC describes it as a soft pink. This colour has a frost finish meaning it has a slight sheen to it.

Blankety
That colour that adds that little bit of depth to your lips with a nice colour. Blankety is a light brown with a hint of pink and warm undertones which makes it look a little mauve. MAC describes it as a vaguely vacant soft pink beige. This colour has such an amplified colour payoff with a sheen finish.

Coral Bliss
Coral Bliss is a true coral colour with slight silver shimmer that isn't noticeable. MAC describes it as a light coral. I love this colour as its a wearable coral colour that isn't a typical nude or beige, well for me at least. This colour has a creamy shiny finish.

Creme de Nude
Ahh the cult MAC favourite. Creme de Nude is a light beige with a hint of peach and with neutral undertones. MAC describes it as a pale muted peach beige. The colour has a creamy shiny finish.

High Tea

The perfect goes with everything, wearable brown. High Tea is a beige brown. MAC describes it as a beige pink with small particle pearl. The colour is a little less pigmented but has an ultimate lustre creamy shiny finish (the shinest of them all).

Ruby Woo
I believe it to be the perfect red shade for anyone as the degree of blue undertone makes you look younger. Ruby Woo is a true red colour with slightly blue undertones. MAC describes it as a vivid brightly coral red. MAC's Russian Red shade is a little more deeper red shade. This colour has a matte finish. This is the only thing I don't like about it. Honestly it does look like nothing pretty in the tube but once swatched you can see the colour.

Innoxa Organic Brightening Eye Creme

Packaging: Opaque white plastic squeeze tube with a twist off cap. The nib is fine and 2mm wide. The packaging has elements of green and brown to tie in with the organic line. It's defiantly durable and travel friendly. The cap has caused me some fussing when it hasn't twisted on evenly the first go. I like being able to cut the tube open to get every ounce of product out. Smell/Taste: None. Colour: White, blends out clear. Formula/ Texture: This is a thin and smooth lotion. It's easily applied and absorbed into the eye area without any greasy film or tackiness. The formula contains aloe vera, avocado, macadamia and rosehip oil meaning it's going to soothe, nourish and soften the eye area.  It defiantly hasn't caused any skin irritations or redness.  No sulphates, parabens, mineral oils, silicones, petrochemicals, synthetic fragrances or TEA's. The rosehip, olive, coconut and macadamia oils help reduce the appearance of fine li...

Benefit Benetint

Packaging: Small clear tube with white screw lid with brush tip applicator. Smell: None. Colour: Ruby red colour. Light coverage/ sheer pigmentation with a natural finish. On the cheeks it is a lot more sheered out and is more pink looking. Texture/ Formula: This is a quite runny and thin. It absorbs and sinks into the skin quite quickly. So it must be applied onto one cheek at a time, blending it immediately. This is my first tint so I had a hard time adjusting to the application method as I ended up with blotches of tint that no powder could fix. A small amount goes a long way. I do use my fingers to apply this and the blending is easier then a brush. This does leave a slight stain on my fingertips. It does have an amazing longevity of 12hrs+, which is what a tint is known for. This can be increased more topped with a powd...

Benefit They're Real! Mascara

I got this sample size from The Champions of Bronze kit. Packaging: Shiny gunmetal wand handle with a gunmetal tube. The wand as long plastic bristles with a spiked ball at the end of it. This ball utilises the end of the mascara wand and reaches into the smaller lashes in the inner corner of the eye. Smell: Just the usual mascara smell. Colour: Black. Opaque pigmentation. Formula/ Texture: This is more of a wet mascara but with a really thin scraper that doesn't leave any clumps of mascara on the wand. It's a thinner wand which made applying it easy. I wasn't going through my lashes trying to separate my lashes and then add volume then back to separating a clump. Theres no flaking or transferring. It's is easily removed with makeup wipes. I have average length lashes that have a very slight natural curl to them, so I want a mascara that does it all- volume, length and curl. I always curl my lashes before mascara applicati...
