September favourites

I can't contemplate the fact that September is already over and that in only two months Christmas will be on its way. Anyhow I thought I would round off September nicely with a bunch of favourites. I feel like September is the month where all the summer clothes get thrown into the back of the wardrobe and out come the boots & scarves. Anyhow lets get started...

High Street make up favourites. 

My first favourite has to be my Rimmel - Wake Me Up foundation, I adore this foundation so so much. I think the coverage is great as it doesn't look too cakey. The amount of shades is amazing and the price is none to shabby either. 

L'oreal Superliner - I had been using the Soap & Glory supercat liner for ages but I wanted to try something a little bit different, I really wanted something to do a thinner line. I had heard Tanya Burr talk about this liner for absolutely ages so I thought I would try it out... and omg I'm so glad I did. It's so easy to apply and gives you a great winged look... onto a winner. 

L'oreal Miss Manga Mascara - I've heard mixed reviews about this mascara but I really wanted to try something which wasn't Maybelline. To start with I hated this mascara. I thought it wasn't very thick and did nothing to them. However after hearing from Gabby (velvetgh0st) about how you should apply lots of coats of this. I did that and now its a favourite! 

Next up would have a be Mac - New York Apple. I'm one of these people that will break out the berry lips as soon as possible. Dark red is my absolute favourite shade to wear on my lips. There are so many shades that you can choose from however this one isn't too dark to start the season off with. 

This denim jacket from Pretty Little Thing is one of only two jackets I had been wearing throughout September. I have always loved denim jackets however never actually felt the need to buy one until I saw this one, which I am completely in love with. 

Another of the jackets I have been wearing is this duster kimono from Topshop. I love this because it isn't particular heavy therefore I can wear it for Autumn as it isn't too thick. I love the fact that its black because that means that I can pair it with almost everything. 

This is probably the weirdest favourite I have ever done. But Fanta Zero has become my one true love. I hardly drink anything other than Juice and Water day to day, however I am now loving the fact that they do a Zero Fanta, which means I can drink it more often and not have to worry about it seriously rotting my teeth. 

Lastly I have to do a favourite person for the month. This month I have been seriously obsessed with Zoe's vlogs. (zoella, incase you were wondering...probably not) I'm not sure what it is but I find her vlogs so fascinating, it's probably got something to do with the fact that she has such a unique life. I would just also to say congrats to Zoe on Zoella Beauty; everything from the range looks absolutely amazing and I can't wait to try them... once they are back in stock. 

My small but growing Mac lipstick collection

Hello, I thought I would post today my (small) Mac lipstick collection. I brought my first Mac lipstick in January and ever since then I have been loving them. I don't own that many Mac lipsticks however with my collection growing I thought I would show the ones that I do have.

1. Snob

I absolutely love this colour, this shade is definitely my everyday colour. This is the closest anyone will ever get to a nude colour with me. I love bright lipsticks therefore this colour is actually really subtle for me. It has a blue undertone therefore I think that this lipstick would be great for every skin tone. If you want sometime for everyday that is a big brighter than the average nude then this is the colour. Snob is a satin finish which is my favourite finish. I love the look it gives because it looks very similar to the matte finish ones how it isn't as drying, which is always a plus. 

2. Girl About Town

Now this is one I brought a couple weeks back and I love how it looks on the lips. The colour is bright but nothing too scary. This is one of Mac's best selling lipsticks and the majority of Mac lipstick owners probably own it. The finish for this one is amplified creme which means because its so creamy its very easy to apply to the lips. I think that this lipstick is very build-able due to how pigmented it is. Due to the lipstick being so creamy it does only last about two hours before it does need topping up again however for a longer lasting finish, I would think putting a lip liner underneath it is probably the best thing to do as the liner will make it long lasting. 

3. Kelly Yum Yum

I can admit the only reason I got this lipstick was because it was limited edition... yeah I wouldn't advise that. However this lipstick is such an amazing colour, it is incredibly thick yet when its on the lips it doesn't feel drying in the slightest. (again because its satin) If you are looking for a colour that will make your lips pop then this is definitely the colour. I think that this lipstick is great for every skin tone due to it again having blue undertones. However what you will notice if you are a Mac lover is that this colour is insanely similar to Candy Yum Yum, I think KYY may be a tad bit brighter but there is very little difference in it. Therefore if you already own CYY it is probably best you avoid this lipstick, unless you are obsessed with the purple packaging. 

4. New York Apple

New York Apple is probably my least favourite of the Mac lipsticks I have. It is a frost finish and if I'm honest I'm not to keen on that. This lipstick is very shimmery therefore it doesn't look very pigmented you have to apply a couple of coats of this to make it look as though you have a dark colour on your lips. I think if you want to start getting into the darker colours then this one would be a great one to start with because it isn't very heavy and not too scary. However this lipstick is very long lasting and only needs a top up after a couple of hours of wear. 

5. Rebel

Now this is bar far my favourite lipstick. I absolutely love the colour and finish of this one. Again this is a satin finish. (I think I have a problem) For this lipstick I would definitely use a lip liner underneath it, purely because it is quite hard to apply due to the finish and the colour. If you want a dark winter lipstick I think this is a good bold choice because it's a shade that will never get old. However with the darker lipsticks I think they don't necessarily suit every skin tone therefore if you are fair I think you have to be careful with this one. 

I hope you enjoyed this one. :-)
