L-R - Mac Mineralised Skin Finish in Soft and Gentle
Stella McCartney - Stella EDP
Revlon Color Stay Lipliner in Red
Revlon Grow Luscious Mascara in Extreme Black
Mac Eyshadows in Satin Taupe and Woodwinked
Mac Retro Matte Lipstick in Ruby Woo
I had heard a lot about Stella and Grow Luscious recently. Stella is very sweet and floral, which I love and is a great daytime perfume for me. I haven't tried the mascara yet as I'm currently using Maybelline's The Falsies, but I know a lot of people absolutely love Revlon mascaras so I am excited to try it!
L - Revlon - Red
R - Mac Ruby Woo
Ruby Woo is the most beautiful matte blue based red. It is slightly drying on the lips due to the matte texture, so make sure you use a really thick lip balm before you want to apply this. Teamed with the Revlon lipliner, this lip lasts for bloody ages and they are a perfect match for each other.
L - R: Soft and Gentle, Woodwinked, Satin Taupe
I needed a new highlighter so I chose Soft and Gentle because of it's bronze quality. I don't think an outright bronzer suits me, but the gold/bronze tones really seem to work with my skin tone if I don't go too wild with it.
I always try and get something I wouldn't buy myself usually when I get vouchers, so I decided to try Mac Eyeshadows. I have been super loyal to Urban Decay shadows since I got my Naked palette and didn't think I would ever need to deviate, but these two shades really caught my eye so thought I would get one of the quad palettes.
I'm so glad that I took the plunge as I really love these shades. Woodwinked and Satin Taupe are so interesting on the eye, and can be blended in such a way that you don't need an extra shade to define the socket, they do it all on their own. The colour payoff is amazing, so really need just the tiniest amount.
I think I will be going back to Mac very soon to complete my quad, and I can't believe I have bypassed Mac shadows for this long!!
