Whats in my Makeup Bag?

Hey guys!

As you know, I haven't touched my YouTube channel in a long time. Lots of moving, changing jobs, getting sick and general life got in the way so I decided to let things settle down. I just uploaded a new video, so I hope you'll all check it out and leave some feedback!


MAC Pro Lipstick Launch- Summer 2014

Hey guys!

MAC Pro lipsticks just became available to the public- more accessibly, at least, as I do believe they were always online? However now they will be hitting stores, but I'm unsure about counters. I actually plan to stop by my counter tomorrow, so I'll ask them and update this post. Exciting though! I can finally repurchase my Smoked Purple lipstick, that someone was oh so kind enough to steal from me in high school... rude. Anyways, here's whats coming to stores:

Fleshpot- pale muted pinky-beige (Satin)
Peachstock- creamy beige peach (Satin)
Show Orchid- very hot pink (Amplified)
Full Fuschia- bright warm pink (Amplified)
Neon Orange- bright clean orange (Amplified)
Fusion Pink- bright pink (Amplified)
Violetta- bright clean violet purple (Amplified)
Sin- deep dark blue red (Matte)
Smoked Purple- deep eggplant purple (Matte)

I already have Show Orchid and Fusion Pink- both are very fun colours and have a slight duochrome. Show Orchid reflects a bit of purple, and Fusion Pink reflects lighter pink. I do find both these lipsticks a bit drying. Hope this helps!

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.
