Laura's look book! A Hint Of Pink

This is quite a subtle look, it is more of a glossy hint of colour, rather then a full on bright pink look. . Products Used (pic provided above!); . MAC Bombshell, MAC Marcel Wanders Lipglass - Aleydis. . The light pink of the lipstick really mutes the bright pink of the lipglass to make a lighter more wearable pink. The metallic nature of the lipstick makes the look a lot more shimmery. Even though they are completely different pinks, they compliment each other well, and transform each other into a completely new colour. I'm going to wear this loads.

Laura's look book! Peachy Nude

For this look, I wanted a very nude but peachy look, as I tend to end up doing more pink nudes then beigey peaches. . Products Used (pic provided above!); . MAC Marquise 'D Lipstick, Bourjois Les Nudes in 34 Rose Mythic. . I love this Bourjois gloss, it is so lovely, however it does settle into lines a bit! This went really well with the peachy beige lipstick, and the goldy shimmer in thelipstick and the more silvery shimmer in the gloss make the look really pop, especially in sunlight! I hope you like my nude look! :]

Review; MAC 2010 Viva Glam Lipsticks (Gaga & Cyndi)

Viva Glam 2010

Gaga


Cyndi


These are two very different lipsticks, both lustres, yet the textures do seem different. Cyndi goes on a lot more pigmented, smoother and more evenly then Gaga, I found Gaga to be more creamy yet you had to apply more for it to show up. The colour also didn't go on as evenly. They both do go on quite sheer though. I really thought Gaga would be my favourite, but Cyndi has actually blown it out of the water, I love the light cherry red colour, I love that it isn't as coral as I'd expected. I do like the nude effect of Gaga and I love the light pink lipsticks, but it just doesn't apply as nicely and I don't feel it suits me as well as Cyndi does. Lipsticks are obviously named after Cyndi Lauper and Lady Gaga who are this years spokeswomen for the MAC Viva Glam charity.

I am glad I bought them both as I do use them, and also all the profits go to women, men and children suffering from HIV/Aids globally. So if you can buy them you wouldn't just be getting a nice lippy, you'd be helping a lot of people who really need and deserve the help!

If you like these; The matching Viva Glam lipglasses will be coming out for 6 months too, they are due anytime now!

Also; If you want purchasing cosmetics and helping out a charity to be yet again combined, watch out for the MAC Rodarte collection this Autumn. Just like Viva Glam all the global profit goes to charity, though in this instance to help and provide support to the women and girls in Juarez, Mexico. For those who are unaware of the problems in Juarez, this music video will educate you (I found the link from Temptalia). I don't condone the fact a make-up line has been made in such bad taste, neither do I like the names of the products, and I am absolutely disgusted by the promotional pictures, however one thing MAC has done is raise awareness of a problem which many people were not aware of, and this could help the situation rather than it be swept under the carpet, more people can help if more people know about it. And in terms of the money, the more money they raise for these women the better. So a political hot potato, some good some bad, but you make up your own mind. I will be buying these products because I want my money to reach this charity and the women it supports.

Review: Lipgloss

n this update I will be reviewing MAC Plushglass in Full For You, and L'Oreal Glamshine Volumizer in Fuschia Obsession.

Firstly; MAC Plushglass in Full For You.

This was the brightest pink they had, however the colour pay off isn't nearly as good as I expected. It smells a bit random, like a sort of gingerbready smell to it, but feels nice on the lips and goes on nice. It does plump up the lips a little. It was slightly glittery but not overwhelmingly so. Do not wear if you have slightly dry, chapped or very liney lips as it will create more lines, wont have a smooth finish and may get little clumps of lip gloss on the surface. It lasts a while on the lips.

I would give this 3/5 as it was nice, plumped a little, felt nice and tingly, could go clumpy and liney and the colour pay off wasn't as bright and glossy as I would have liked. It was expensive for the amount you get and they should have brighter more plumping colours. I would use it again though, but would make sure my lips are well moisturised first.

And the last one of the update; L'Oreal Glamshine Volumizer in Fuschia Obsession

I love this colour it is so deep pink and sparkly, and looks really glossy, sparkly and bright on. It lasts for ages, just looks a little less glossy as time goes on. It has a really good colour pay off. The only thing I am not keen on is the applicator which is flame/less rounded tear drop shape which is a bit furry and the shape makes application to the top lip a bit more difficult. Also gives a plumped look due to the deep and shiny colour. It smells like fruity candy though it may not be to everyone's tastes. I would say it was more glossy then the plushglass.

Overall I would give this 4/5 as it is a really lovely colour, gloss, sparkle, it smells nice and it does last a while. It is tingly and plumping just like the plushglass but it was half the price of the plushglass and you get much more. But it doesn't get full marks due to the applicator. I think your lips would need to be moisturised for this gloss too.
