Mac Russian Red

So, Christmas has come and gone and yet again I have failed at blogging. I’ve had a serious lack of motivation over the past few months but I am making sure one of my New Years resolutions is to get back in to blogging. Anyway, I hope you all had an amazing Christmas and got everything you wanted.

I received a lot of make which I should be featuring on my blog over the course of the next few months. One of the first make up gifts I received was a Mac lipstick from my best friend. She had asked what shade was on the top of my wishlist (which was Russian Red) and got it for me for Christmas which I was so happy about! This ended up being my Christmas day lip colour, I paired it with a red lip gloss to give it an extra Christmassy feel and thats exactly how I felt wearing it. 

Russian Red is your standard blue toned matte lipstick. It is a classic shade that will never go out of style and everyone needs in their collection. Surprisingly for a matte lipstick it is rather creamy and is easy to apply, I could in no way apply this without a mirror or anything but it does however glide easily over the lips, not creasing into lines like some other matte lipsticks. 

The staying power of this lipstick is like no other, as I said, I wore this on Christmas day from 9am until late in the night. Inbetween that I had a three course Christmas Eve and lots to drink. I still had a lovely red stain to my lips just before i took my make up off at the end of the day and that was without reapplying once! 

A Very Late November Favourites

So it’s been a while…again.
I’ve been so so busy with college deadlines and work that I just honestly haven’t had a chance to blog but I’m back now, with a November favourites post that was meant to go up over a week ago. I’m starting to get into he Christmas mood now so my next few posts are probably going to be festive related.

Beauty Favourites
Mac Rebel
It’s winter which means it’s now acceptable to wear dark lips and by far, Mac Rebel has been my favourite since I got it! It’s an amazing purple shade that would suit anyone. I’ve done a more in depth review on it here if you’d like to know more about it.

Ted Baker Sweet On You Nail Duo
I got these two stunning nail varnishes in a little sweet shop set, paired together with the glitter on an accent nail looks amazing!

Collection Creme Puff In Cotton Candy
I’ve heard about these for a while and I finally went out and got a few last month. They’re sort of a liquid matte lipstick, they dry on your lips and sort of stain them. I particularly like the cotton candy shade, it’s great for everyday low maintenance wear.

Alex Curran Perfume
I’ll start by saying this is probably one of the cheapest perfumes you can get, it’s £10 for a 100ml bottle that comes with a body lotion too. It’s also one of the nicest smelling cheaper perfumes, It’s more of a sophisticated grown up smell and I’ve been loving it this month.

Elvive Extraordinary Oil Hair Mask
I bleach the ends of my hair quite often which means that it can leave it quite dry, so I’ve been searching for a good nourishing hair mask for a while now and I think I’ve found one in this. If you have dry hair id really recommend you try this out!

Rimmel Wonder’ful Mascara
I’m a huge fan of Rimmel make up and when I seen they had a new mascara out I had to try it out. I’ve been using it for over two months now and it’s really really good! It gives both volume, length and one of the best things is that if never smudges which is one of my pet hates!

Non Beauty Favourites
The Mazerunner
I recently went to see this and I loved it! If you’re a fan of the hunger games I can guarantee you’ll love this as they are quite similar, I can not wait for the next film to come out now!

Vlogmas Videos
One of the best things about December is all the vlogmas videos! There’s not much I love more than chilling out watching vlogs and this month pretty much all my favourite YouTubers are doing it. Some of favourite vlogmas videos so far have been TheBeautyCrush and ThatcherJoe’s.

Who’s vlogmas videos have you been watching?
