GETTING IN THE GROOVE.......

Yes ladies, after all the incessant hype over bloggerland on the MAC Stereo MSF re-release, you know I had to go and check the collection out for myself.

I gave into the hype and bought 2 Stereo Rose MSFs. The product has been spoken about so much as it was last released in 2005 Goldplay Collection and is the only corally MSF ever released, making it a unique and sought after product by everyone from the light skinned to dark skinned MAC lovers. As a NW45, I can confirm that Stereo Rose is great on darker skintones, though I personally would probably use this more as a highlight than a blush. Nevertheless, the consistency is gorgeous! So smooth and glitter-bomb free ;)

I already owned the MAC Comfort and By Candlelight MSFs and you will note from my Warm & Cosy Collection Review that these are also hits with me...

From In the Groove, I also picked the amazing purple "Go For It" cremesheen lipstick. Guys, this lipstick is the bomb! Even my mum wanted this when she saw me rocking it lol. I love the fact that it is buildable and so I can wear a light application to work, or a rock-hard full-on application on a night out. It is also very creamy and not drying...

I wasn't interested in the mineralized eyeshadows, as I enjoy the normal shadows and have enough to last a lifetime already hehe

Let me know if you had any faves from this collection.....

Til next time

Peace xx

To the Beach ....

To be honest peeps, I wasn't particularly thrilled with this MAC collection...

Nothing really grabbed me but I did pick up the eyeshadow in 'Sweet n Punchy', having heard it's a point blank dupe for MAC's Rated R, also limited ed.... Looking forward to doing a look with this for the summer...

Hey!!! Here come my favourites things (for now).....

Hey,

I know... it's been a hot minute, have been real busy with work, started a new job in March! Am still enjoying playing around with makeup as usual, and my faves at the moment are:

1. VANILLA PIGMENT- WOC if you want the perfect highlight and glowing lids, get this!

2. NARS EXHIBIT A - An amazing blush, perfect when applied with a light hand and skunk brush

3. MAC METAL ROCK MSF - I finally got my hands on this, gorgeous bronzer when layered over blushes ;)

4. MAC WOODWINKED EYESHADOW - lightly applied as all over lid color - nice for when there's not enough time in the morning for full-on makeup

5. MAC SWEETIE LIPSTICK AND MAC PINKARAT LUSTREGLASS - Amazing Lip Combo for summer!I'm NW45 for reference. It's seriously really cute on the lips although wears off quickly as Sweetie is a lustre. I've been wearing this combo to work when I want color which is office-appropriate... but still fresh and young looking, love it

6. MAC EVER HIP WITH MAC PERENNIAL HIGH STYLE L/G - from Mac's Liberty of London Collection - Gorgeous milky pinky-coral lip, wore this today

Blessings

Hi all

It's me again, my fingers are keyboard-happy it seems!! I love this blog thing, it's a great release and fun to do. I hope this blog finds you all well...

Just wanted to recommend some youtubers who I have personally gained a LOT from, in terms of developing makeup techniques and skills, as well as great makeup reviews through vids

1. My absolute favorite is pixiwoo - check them out, they're two sisters, who are makeup artists, coming up with great educational vids. I always learn something new, or get inspired by their work

2. Drbrooklyn730 - great vids again from a young lady in New York, very informative videos and personable tutorials.

3. Makeupbyrisa- she takes you step by step on why/how she is applying what. Very clear and precise guide to creating looks...

4. ThesPNation - this guy is the King of hauls. Check him out lol

5. Scandalousbeauty-google her lol

Have a great day/afternoon/evening
Much love ;)
