MAC Ruby Woo Review.

Hey Guys!

Today I'm back and wanted to do a blog post on my current favourite lipstick Ruby Woo by MAC. Recently I've decided that this autumn/winter I want to try to pull off bolder lip colours, Ruby Woo is one of these colours and I have been loving it!

 Ruby Woo is a true red matte MAC lipstick, which means that it will contain more pigment but not give off a shine, some people say that matte lipsticks are harder to apply as they are more dry, I find that lip balm before applying my lipsticks always works and especially in the case of a matte lipstick, the smoothness of the lip balm defuses the dryness making it easy to apply to the lips. Ruby Woo is a true red, there is no doubt about that, I really like how the red tones are bold but not too in your face (although pictures of me wearing it may say differently,haha)

I really like to wear Ruby Woo to spice up an outfit, if i'm looking slightly plain in clothes I like to wear this red lipstick to brighten up the outfit, I think that Ruby Woo is quite versatile in its wearability, however as it is a red I wouldn't personally pair it with an outfit that is very bold and I keep my make-up a little more toned down so that the colours do not clash, sometimes when you see people wearing a bold outfit with bold blusher and red lipstick you don't know where to look because there's so much going on, if you know what I mean.

As with any lipstick I have to reapply during the day, which is no hassle to be honest, but I find that I am more conscience on topping it up as if the fading of the lipstick is uneven it can look a bit ridiculous! What I love about red lipsticks, in particular Ruby Woo is that it would suit everyone, so I would definitely recommend Ruby Woo to anyone, something I would suggest but some of you may know already is if you do have/purchase Ruby Woo or any red lipstick for that matter pick up a red lip liner too, it can be a high street one, I bought Sleek's Rouge for myself because it was cheaper and seems good quality, the only reason I would highly suggest a lip liner is because red lipsticks tend to bleed out, the lip liner will help this not happen, so in the long run it is worth it.

Overall I really love this lipstick, I would repurchase the £13.50 lipstick again from MAC, it is truly the perfect red, lasts a decent amount of time and will be a really good lipstick shade to have in the pot for this season.

Hope you guys enjoyed this post!

MAC Fanfare Lipstick Review.

Hey Guys!

Today's review is going to be on a MAC lipstick called 'Fanfare' this lipstick was my first lipstick from MAC that I got *I think..maybe my memory has gone to coo-coo land though!* but for some reason I've been neglecting it..until recently when I wore it on a whim and remember now why I like this lipstick so much.

Fanfare is a lovely deep pink lipstick with slight hints on yellow undertones. Being a cream sheen finish the lipstick is prone to give moisture, high pigmentation and shine, I can definitely say that all these three boxes are ticked, when I apply Fanfare and rub my lips together they feel moisturised..almost like a lip balm but not to as much extent of one. As for the pigmentation this bad boy is packed with it, I only have to apply one coat of this for my average everyday wear which is good as it means more lipstick for me! The shine of Fanfare is not too overpowering, not enough to look like a lip gloss but enough to catch light and bounce it's shine off which to my surprise is quite flattering on.

As for how wearable this lipstick is, I would have so say it does a excellent job of being versatile, I think Fanfare looks good paired with a gold/brown smokey eye, something else I would say about Fanfare is because it is a pink toned lipstick it is more wearable in the Spring/Summer months, however saying this due to it's more deep colouring I wouldn't write it off for the colder months. Fanfare wears well, a good few hours before I usually re-apply, lately I have been wearing the lipstick with a nude lip liner and find that the pink stays on better with it under. Something I like about this lipstick in particular is how build-able it is, it can be used to create a lovely mid-deep pink lip or be built upon to make a bolder deep pink lip.

Packaging wise, it is the standard MAC black packaging which is very familiar to every blogger I'm sure, therefore I find no faults in the slender and simple packaging, it is very appealing to all people I find. Priced at £14 for Fanfare, or in fact any MAC lipstick this is a decent price for a high end brand, when compared to Nars lipsticks priced at £17.50 a go, even though there is not much difference the saying 'Every penny counts' comes to mind!

Overall I love this lipstick, I can't quite believe that I neglected it as there is nothing wrong with it at all...oh well all is good now. If you are on the slightly paler end of the skin tone scale or have green eyes I would recommend you check this out as it compliments very nicely, saying that I can't see this lipstick looking particularly unflattering on anyone to be honest, I find no faults in Fanfare and I am happy that I got this lipstick!

Have a lovely week, and if you haven't enter my give away then do so here there is not long left now to enter!

Review&Swatches: Mac Chatterbox Lipstick.

My newest make-up purchase has definitely satisfied my summer make-up collection..for now at least, I bought Mac Chatterbox last Wednesday I do believe and have been in love with it since, so I thought I'd do a quick review on it for you guys :) 

With an Amplified finish, these babies are jam packed with colour and a creamy feel on the lips, as my first Amplified MAC lipstick I can say that they do live up to this expectation. I don't need to go over my lips a thousand times over with this lipstick, simply a swipe does the trip, or if like me you need to have the lipstick perfect and full then two, not only is the colour a gorgeous yellow toned coral pink, it is also very creamy and feels nice on the lips. I would say that for paler skin tones  (eg. Like me NW15) this is great if you want a bright pink without looking too in your face, it's a great summer colour to be used by anyone, I don't think this would look bad on anyone to be honest.

I can't fault this product at all and would repurchase if I ran out.

Also Happy Easter everyone, hope you all indulge in your chocolates!

What do you think of Chatterbox? What's your favourite MAC lipstick? :) x
