October Favourites.

Hey Guys!

Today's the last day of October, the months are going by so fast..it's not too long till Christmas now haha. This month I haven't been that taken away with much, even still there are a few items that I have been loving!

Urban Decay Naked Palette 2 - Last month I won this baby in Laura's giveaway, I was super excited, and I love it, the neutral shades all pack on a good pigment and are really versatile, my favourites at the moment are Suspect and Snakebite, they good really well with each other.

MAC Ruby Woo - I recently did a review of Ruby Woo here but a quick run down : it is beautiful, haha that's the easiest way to describe it, I've been liking wearing a more bold lip in autumn, so I'm looking forward to continue wearing it.

Revlon Calcium Gel Nail Hardending Polish - A purchase from August that I didn't think about mentioning on my blog for some silly reason, this Revlon product is basically a nail hardening gel, I use it every other day and there has been a noticeable improvement in the strength of my nails.

Real Techniques Setting Brush - A fairly new purchase, this brush is so small and cute, I think it would be perfect for using to highlight cheekbones, but personally I use it to apply blush, which may seem a bit strange, but I like that as it's smaller than a normal blush brush it is more compact to use.

So that's this months favourites, Happy Halloween, hope you guys have fun today, my day will consist of returning to Oxford Street to get the bag I somehow managed to forget down there!

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!
