2015

Hello beautiful people

I can't even deal right now....

When Rihanna was announced as Mac's 2014 Viva Glam spokesperson I was over the moon, but I started to wonder whom they would choose next.

Mac seem to like to pick very controversial men & women to be the face of this in house project, they've had Gaga, RuPaul and Pammy A just to name a few!

Because I'm a Mac addict I had a good think about my prediction and yes, I predicted Miley Cyrus!!

God I'm good!

I'm in love with this collection plus the campaign, it's very Vegas stripper/showgirl/glamour/sex esque...what could be better eh?

The duo is all pink and bubblegummy goodness with lots of sparkles, and of course an amplified finish for extra extravagance points!

Even though I love this campaign from Mac & Miley, I do wish that they hadn't gone for the classic Viva Glam packaging and maybe done something a little different. Maybe a pink matte bullet like the RiRi red ones.

Hmmmmm!!!!!

They go on sale on the 22nd January in the US and 12th Feb Internationally, so not too long to wait fellow Miley/Mac Addicts!

Are you excited to slather this pair on your wanting lips?

lots of love

2014 Product Lust

Hello beautiful people;

"I'm so excited, & I just can't hide it"

Jesus Christ on a bike, 2014 has got some insane products coming its way!! I am super excited to purchase this one!! EEK!!!

Rihanna is the face of Mac's Viva Glam campaign at the moment and well the first lipstick & lipgloss released I was disappointed with to say the least. But wait, what's that?! RiRi's next duo for Viva Glam is a 90's heavenly dream of darkness?!

Yeah, totally on this duo. I love my dark and dramatic lip options, I am that girl that owns black lipstick & gloss. I know right. So I 100% need a sparkly purple lippie in my collection for A/W. 

My only issue with this lipstick will be if it's in a cruddy finish like lustre (spew) but I think I could let that go if the pigmentation is epic enough, I guess we shall just have to see!!

RiRi's new collection is released in September & will be priced around £15 per item!

What products are you excited for?

Lips Tutorial

Hello beautiful people;

"he said he wanted nudes"

I love a nude lip, I love the whole Pammy A pornstar look especially on a night out with a seductive dark eye look!

But rather than looking like a cheap 90's hooker I've found an addictive combo that I cannot get enough of. So if  you fancy learning how to rock this look keep reading!

Firstly you need to know what you're going to need. 

The items I have used are the brands etc that I like, you can easily get this look using brands & similar colours in your budget! 

MAC cremesheen glass in Boy Bait

MAC lipsticks in Myth & Velvet Teddy

Lavera Lip Liner in Plum Brown

OR

Illamasqua Lip Liner in Woo

Step 1. Apply Lavera lip liner around lips and fill in slightly. I do over draw mine a little for a fuller look

Step 2. Swipe on a small amount of Velvet Teddy lipstick & smush those lips together

Step 3. To the centre of the lips apply a small amount of Myth & again smush away

Step 4. Apply a bit more Lavera lip liner to darken the edges

Step 5. Slap on as much or as little Boy Bait as you like

Step 6. Pout like a goddess

And for good measure here are some ridiculous "goddess" pouts that I thought you'd all enjoy!

Hope you all enjoyed this post!
