MAC satin lipstick ''Verve''

Hi everyone!

Today I'll be reviewing my latest MAC lipstick: Verve!  This dark nude berry mauve and brownish pink lipstick is perfect for someone that likes wearing dark colours but still keep low-key.  It is vampy yet neutral, if that makes any sense.

As always, I love the vanilla cupcake scent that all MAC lipsticks has... So yummy! (for some reason, I feel like the smell is stronger with Verve!)

The staying power of this lipstick is great and is very easy to work with.. although you might need lip liner if you want to be more precise as its really pigmented.

The texture is ultra creamy. It is also very pigmented.

Overall, such a pretty colour that I adore... this might be my new holy grail! Xx

Review | MAC lipstick "Velvet Teddy"

Hi everyone!

Today I'll be reviewing one of the latest MAC product to enter my collection, the famous Velvet Teddy lipstick (Kylie Jenner, anyone?). I'm most likely surprised it wasn't sold out when I went to MAC. Anyways, these kind of shade are just my favorite to wear everyday... 

Velvet Teddy is a matte browny mauve. For a matte lipstick, it is really soft and smooth. I will have to try this with MAC's Whirl lipliner. It has a great lasting power, stays for a few hours before needing to be reapplied.

Also, the MAC packaging is so classy, right? I just love it! 

Here's a swatch of the lovely Velvet Teddy, it doesn't really seem matte, but I promise it is... it doesn't dries out and the texture is great for a matte lipstick.

Overall, it's a great lipstick for everyday wear. One of my new favorites/forever repurchasing Velvet Teddy.

Kylie Jenner lipstick ft. MAC cosmetics

As you all know there's plenty of lips products that are rumoured to be what Kylie Jenner uses. After asking the lady at the MAC counter she told me that Kylie was using is the MAC lip pencil in Whirl and the MAC lipstick in Brave.

This mauve nude lip combo has taken over Youtube/blogging community and it's not hard to understand as it's the perfect everyday wear, but with a different twist, 90s vibe.

MAC WHIRL LIPLINER
This is a universal lipliner that can be used with a lot of colours. It's a pinkish brown / nude / mauve.  Your lips will look bigger / fuller. I am not one to usually wear lipliner cause I didn't really understand why I should use it, but this made me realize that I need to use lip liners more! This will make the lipstick last longer - also, you can slightly over line your lips if you want more of that Kylie Jenner look.

MAC BRAVE LIPSTICK
A pink/mauve/beige satin lipstick / slightly matte without being dry. For a matte lipstick it's very comfortable on the lips. Natural and great for everyday wear.  It's like a my lips but better. One of my all time favourite lipstick that I will repurchase as soon as I run out! It last a few hours - very easy to apply.
