Mac Plumful Lipstick Fridays

Hi everyone

 

What a super quick week its been !!

Can you actually believe that we are half way through January already !! I haven't even got my 2012 favourites post up yet ! ah !! Anyway Lipstick Fridays resumes its usual spot this week and if you are new to Lipstick Fridays it all started around this time last year and it was basically my pledge to make sure I wear all my lipsticks, as the months have went by it seems to have become a cool way to share different lipstick reviews and swatches with you all.

In the hot seat today is Mac's Plumful, a medium cool pink with plum undertones. Ive actually been wearing this all week and absolutely love it ! Plumful is a lustre finish, which means they can usually be quite sheer but Plumful has fabulous pigmentation and great colour pay off. Regular readers of my blog will know that I'm a sucker for Mac lipsticks because I love the yummy vanilla smell and the way they feel when applied. I feel that Plumful would suit any skin tone and I get around four to five hours wear, plus when its wearing off my lips feel really moisturised. Plumful would make a fantastic addition to your lipstick collection and would be great for anyone looking for a slightly stronger colour who doesn't want to wear red.
Mac Plumful can be purchased from Mac for £14.00.

 

What is your favourite Mac lipstick ?? Does anyone have any recommendations  xx

Mac Glamourdaze Lipstick Friday

Hi everyone

Hope you are all well - thank goodness its Friday !!

Ive had one of those weeks where everything that can go wrong seems to have gone wrong !! One of those weeks where I have been completely forgetful - I drove an hour to the shops to return an item only to find I had left my wallet at home ! Ooops !! Anyway enough of my woes - Positive thinking is the way forward ha ha !!

Today Im wearing the gorgeous Glamourdaze lipstick by Mac - described as a mid tone creamy plum I would say its quite got quite a cool tint to it, I dont think I would go a far as to say its a mid tone plum but when applied to my lips I would probably describe is a very light plum/dark rose colour. Glamourdaze can still be purchased from Mac online for £14.

Lipstick Friday Estee Lauder Crystal Tiramisu

Today Im wearing the gorgeous Estee Lauder Pure Color Crystal lipstick in Tiramisu. The thing I love most about this lipstick is the glossy finish, infact I think its a wannabe gloss in lipsticks clothing ha ha. The formulation is so smooth and creamy and its such a nice lipstick to wear infact I think its one of those great colours for during the day that you could just grab in the morning and apply on the run. Tiramisu is a sheer peachy/pink with a gold shine to it, this colour is really wearable and I think it would suit most skintones.

Estee Lauder Pure Color Cystal Lipstick in Tiramisu can be purchased from Estee Lauder online for £19.50.

Lipstick Fridays YSL Rouge Volupte

Today I decided to wear a lipstick I dont really turn to that often - my YSL Rouge Volupte No 1. The only reason for me breaking out this lippy today was the fact the I was wearing quite dark eye make up and with a darker eye, I love wearing pale lips.  The colour does come up quite pale on my lips however when swatched it does look more like a cool toned rosey pink. I had actually forgotten how much I love this lipstick, the packaging is so glam and it feels so silky and creamy when applied, the colour is really highly pigmented and so glossy. Have any of you tried these ? Can you recommend any other colours to purchase?

Lipstick Friday - Mac Please Me

Yes Lipstick Friday is back and this week I am wearing the gorgeous Mac lipstick in Please Me.

I will keep this post brief as Im sure most of you know the virtues of Mac, for those of you who dont you must get some Mac on your chrimbo wishlist. The lipsticks are amazing, with great lasting power, great formulations and great pigmentation. I find that Please Me does have a little bit of a sheen so would decribe it as a semi matte, with a slightly yellow undertone. I have a fair to medium complexion and find this suits me perfectly.

Mac Please Me can be purchased from Mac for £14.00.

What lipstick are you wearing this Friday?

Mac - Cut a Caper

Hi everyone

 

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.

I actually meant to put this post up on Friday but forgot to publish it - ooops !! This week Ive been wearing Mac Cut a Caper which is a fantastic partner for my Nars Ramatuelle eyeshadow. Cut a Caper is a lustre lipstick in a gorgeous peachy, coral shade which leaves a fantastic glossy shine on your lips. I would say this is quite a soft, gentle coral which is easy to wear and would suit most skin tones. Cut A Caper does take a few swipes to build up the colour and does seem to cling to any drier areas on your lips but I dont mind because Im totally in love with this colour !!! This is currently sold out on the Mac website but you could always check out Ebay or Mac counters as they may still have some in stock.

Lipstick Fridays Dior Incognito

Hey lovelies

Hope you are all looking forward to the weekend.

The perfect partner for nude nails ???

Nude Lips.

Today I am wearing the beautiful Dior Addict Extreme in Incognito.

This lipstick is fantastic, it gives your lips a wonderful shiny finish and it feels lovely to wear. It isnt at all sticky or clumpy and acts like its infusing your lips with moisture.

 Now this lipstick has been billed as extremely long lasting. To be honest Im not bothered about the wear time, I dont mind re-applying my lipstick especially one as nice as this. This lippy however did stand the test of my morning cuppa which is only a good thing.

Hello Beautiful.....

 Dior Addict Extreme Lipstick can be purchased from Escentual.com for £22.80.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Lipstick Fridays Chanel Coco Rouge Plumetis

Hey everyone

Its Friday - thank god ha ha x

Today Im wearing Chanel Rouge Coco in Plumetis. I find this to be a rather strange lipstick - in the tube when I look at it, it looks like a pinky beige colour with irridescent flecks however when applied it looks like a soft, pinky, plum with peachy undertones to it in certain lights ?! Strange !!! This lipstick applies as a semi sheer.  I really would say that this is one which will look different on different skin tones so I would definitely be heading to your local Chanel counter to try before you buy.  Rouge Coco is described as a hydrating lipstick however I didnt really find that, after a while it made my lips feel a bit dry and sticky. It also doesnt feel entirely smooth - I think this could be due to the tiny irredescent flecks. To be honest I love the colour but am not completely impressed with the wear of it - On my lips this only lasted an hour and a half.

What do you guys think ?

Have any of you tried this lippy?

Lipstick Fridays Clarins Joli Rouge Lilac Pink

Today Im wearing a new lipstick in my collection - Clarins Joli Rouge in Lilac Pink.

Clarins lipsticks are a joy to wear - they are lightweight and wont dry out your lips, have a fab fruity scent and give you a gorgeous, shiny, glossy finish. This is a cool toned pink which is so easy to wear. I did have to give this a couple of slicks to get the desired finish but I think you will agree this is a beautiful colour.

You can purchase this from the Gorgeous Shop for £14.85.

Lipstick Fridays Chanel Chance Rouge Coco Shine

Todays lipstick is the gorgeous Chanel Chance.

I love the packaging and its fab to be able to afford a little bit of Chanel.

These lipsticks are amazing - I love how they apply and the look that you achieve with them.

Chance is another my-lips-but-better shade which would suit most skin tones, but it certainly looks alot more pink Chanel Boy. This is a glossy, baby pink with cool under tones.

To sum up in just one word .....

Gorgeous !!

I purchased mine from The Garden Pharmacy for £24.

Lipstick Fridays Chanel Boy Rouge Coco Shine

Today I have been wearing the gorgeous, subtle, glossy Chanel Boy. This is such a wearable pink and has a very shiney my-lips-but-better look to it. I cannot say enough good things about this lipstick - the formula is fantastic, it feels lovely and moisturising on your lips and it really is a joy to wear. This is a semi-sheer lipstick which is a very pale beigey/pink and has small flecks of micro-shimmer in it which I think I have just about captured in my pictures.

I purchased this from The Garden Pharmacy for £24 - has anyone else tried this?

Lipstick Fridays Mac Ruby Woo

As I am wearing Shellac I have decided to do a Friday Night Lipstick feature this week.

I have been feeling really inspired by brighter colours the last few weeks and this evening I have decided to give my new Mac Ruby Woo lipstick its first outing. This is a matte cool toned red lipstick - the packaging is chic, the formulation is fantastic and pigmentation is amazing. This lipstick is definitely not one for the faint hearted.

I wasnt feeling quite brave enough to wear it on its own so I decided to add a splash of Clarins Gloss Prodige in Grenadine.

Mac Ruby Woo can be purchased from Mac online for £13.50 and Clarins Gloss Prodige can be purchased from Escentual.com for a special price of £12.40.

Have a lovely weekend everyone.

Lots of Love
