MAC Osbournes- Bijou Lipglass Review

Hey guys! I'm going to have a lip swatch of this tomorrow- the weather was terrible so I couldn't get good lighting for photos today. I do however have images of the lipglass itself so those will be included. I do like this shade! Its definitely a my lips but better shade, especially because it's slightly translucent to let some of your natural colour peep through, so it'll look different on everyone! In the tube its a medium pinky-rose colour and looks more muted.

The feeling of the gloss stayed around for about 3 hours, but the pigmentation was almost totally gone by then. This was in no way drying, but it didn't feel particularly hydrating either. Its very flattering and natural though, I'm glad they went with a shade like this after all of Kelly's lipsticks!

A perfect MLBB shade!

 I don't believe I currently have any dupes for this shade! I'll shop my stash and update this if I find anything, but I think that in my collection this shade is unique. Definitely worth a peak if you don't have a shade like this already!

MAC Osbournes- Peaches & Cream Blush Review

Hey guys! I have another blush here for you! I'm not sure which blush I like more, this or Cheeky Bugger, but I think this one is sliding forward! Firstly this does have better pigmentation, however its still a bit powdery. It does leave a sheen to the skin, more-so than CB but its very flattering and doesn't emphasize pores. This also does have a silver sparkle, but its nothing that concerns me. Peaches & Cream is deeper than CB so I think a lot more people will get use out of this. Its like a medium yet subdued pink, almost a bit red with a silver sparkle. So hard to describe!

Since this is still a bit powdery, its a buildable blush so its not going to be crazy pigmented on the first dab, so you can work slowly to get the colour you want.

Again, swatched over face primer to give it some stick. 

Selfie time again! I'm wearing P&C here with bronzer. 

Wear time was solid, I wore this for a ten hour day and didn't notice too much fading by the end of it. Also there was no change in colour, unlike CB. This shade was also very blendable so don't be afraid of how it looks in the pan!

I don't have any dupes in my collection thus far for this blush. I say if you like it, get it!

MAC Osbournes- Cheeky Bugger Blush Review

Hey guys! So first of all, This blush reminds me of strawberry milk. For real though, just look at this!

Thirsty?

I will say this looks a bit warmer on the cheeks though! I still love the colour, however its a bit lacking in pigmentation since the blush is fairly powdery. I would be careful to avoid kicking up a mess of powder and wasting product or making a mess! This does apply very smoothly though, with a slight sheen. I wore this for a solid 12 hour day, and it was still there when the day was done, however it had started fading around the 8 hour mark, and as it faded it gradually looked warmer and warmer on the skin, like it was oxodizing a bit.

Selfie time! I'm wearing Cheeky Bugger here. As you can see its not the most pigmented, but its very natural and flattering!

I also think the colour of this blush makes it go well with a variety of looks, its definitely something you can throw on if you're not sure of what to wear!

I swatched this over face primer to try and give it some grab, but as you can see its still quite sheer with a nice sheen.

I don't think deeper skintones are really gonna be feeling this blush, I'm an NC15 and I think NC25-30 and darker may have a hard time getting this to show up. However, if you are a packaging junkie, why not right?

Dupe wise, the closest I have is Frat Boy by The Balm, which is similar in colour but a bit darker, and matte, so maybe those with a darker skin tone will prefer that instead.

MAC Osbournes- Cranberry Lip Liner Review

Hey guys! Let me just start with saying I reeeally regret not buying two of these. This shade is gorgeous! For a darker red, I think its still fantastic for summer and I'll be wearing it even more in the fall. I'll definitely be on the hunt for a dupe to this shade.

For a lip liner this wore wonderfully on its own! It wasn't drying in the least, and it wore off evenly and not patchy or leaving that ugly ring around my lips. I wore this to work the other day and got a solid 6 hours before it started to go on me. Its just such a beautiful shade! Its like a muted pink-tinged red, if that makes any sense at all. It applied really smoothly and had great pigmentation, and it didn't look dry on the lips, just very natural.

So pretty! 

 I don't have a dupe for this right now, the closest I have is my NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Antwerp, which is a bit brighter and more red. Still close though! DEFINITELY grab this, if nothing else!

MAC Osbournes- Riot House Lipstick Review

Hey guys! I'll have a lip swatch for this posted tomorrow, it was horribly overcast today and I didn't want to give you guys crappy pictures. I do have a photo of this in the tube, though, so I'll include that. To start with, I really don't think I like this lipstick. I haven't tried it with a liner just yet (I imagine it'd look great with Cranberry liner) but on its own it wears terribly. I also don't really know what skin tone would be able to wear this alone! It applies MUCH lighter than it looks in the tube, even layered. It also applied the worst out of the 3 shades I have, initially looking streaky and patchy. I had to work with this a lot more than I'd like to work to make a lipstick look good. On my NC15 skintone it really blends in, kinda like a more orange-looking concealer lips kinda deal. This wore for about three hours before it looked so bad I just had to take it off. This is VERY unforgiving. It settled into my lip lines right after I applied it, and stayed there. It's also the most drying of the three lipsticks, which doesn't work in its favor because as it dries your lips out it accentuates how dry its making them! What?! I am absolutely determined to make this lipstick work. Let me know how it works for you!

don't get too excited, it looks WAY lighter than this on.

I currently don't have any dupes for this in my collection.. Kinda glad, to be honest, as this lipstick was a real pain in the ass. If you really love the colour, hey, go for it! But if you want your lipstick to work for you rather than you working for your lipstick, I say pass.
