Review: Mac Viva glam Nicki Lipstick!

Quite a while ago I said how I was in love with the Viva glam Nicki lipstick that Mac had released, well I bought it! I've had it for around 2months now and just haven't got around to writing this review post for you all.

The packaging is the same as the normal Mac lipstick packaging except for the red writing but I love the subtle change I just think it looks far more sleek. Especially 'Nicki's' signature on the inside of the bullet.

The actual lipstick has a super nice and luxurious smell and taste, its almost like a faux vanillary type scent. The lipstick formulation is a satin finish however it can be quite drying too the lips but isn't unbareable, for example i've had creamier but i've also had more drying lipsticks from other brands.

Now, I personally think this is all worth it for this amazing lipstick and pigmentation! The colour is a bright pink with a coral-y undertone, IT IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! 

I would 100% recommend this lipstick and can't wait to try more Mac lipsticks!

Mac Viva glam Nicki lipstick is £13.50 and available on Mac counters and instores. 

Thanks for reading!

Review: Natural Collection blushes and Lipstick!

I was in boots the other day and saw that they had an offer for 3 for £5 on Natural Collection and was dying to try some products! The thing I wanted to try the most were the blushes, after hearing so much hype about them I had to pick two up!

Blushes...

I picked up Pink Cloud and Sugar Plum, (L-R on both pictures)

Pink Cloud seemed to be a favourited colour, therefore I had to pick it up. Its a beautiful pale pink colour and would suit lots of different skin tones.

Sugar Plum is more of deeper colour which would suit deeper skintones. However, I use it for a quick cheek colour but I wouldn't use a bronzer at the same time.

They are super soft but not powdery to work with, these feel so light on the skin and blend beautifully! They have great pigmentation and I can honestly recommend that you try these!

I also bought the Moisture shine lipstick in Raspberry which has great pigmentation but for a moisturising lipstick, i've definatley had better! It's not mega drying but I do need a lipgloss over the top. It also has a satin finish so this may have something to do with. What can I say I got all of these for £5 so I can't really complain!

I would 100% recommend the Blushes to everyone and for the lipstick just swatch it on your hand before you buy, it may just be me being picky.

Keep the requests coming guys!

Viva Glam Nicki!

OMG! When I saw this I almost died with excitement! I love nicki minaj and all of her songs so when I had heard that she had collaborated with Mac to create her very own Viva Glam lipstick!

 

I haven't had chance to purchase the lipstick yet but I am planning too and when I do I will do a review with swatches on my blog. It retails for the normal £13.50 and all the proceeds go towards the helping of Men, Women and Children effected by HIV and Aids. It can be purchased instore or online here.

Will you be checking out this new lipstick?
