Plumful

Hey everyone! 

Hope the weekend is going swelllll for you all! In this post I shall be sharing with you my first MAC item ever!!!! Plumful lipstick. 

My bbg brought this back for me when she went to Europe ($11 cheaper over there if you exchange it), and I am in love. In Australia, MAC lipsticks cost $36 -way over priced. 

These lipsticks smell subtly of vanilla, MMmmmMm! You can't smell it when it's on the lips though. 

This lipstick is a lustre finish. I'm no MAC expert, but from what I know, lustre lipsticks tend to be on the sheer side. They're not drying at all and have a bit of a sheen to them. They are very comparable to the Revlon Lip Butters, however more pigmented and a tiny bit heavier in texture. It lasts a 'normal' amount of time. Not long lasting because it is a little glossy, however doesn't just slide off the lips. 

Plumful is a beauuuuuut-i-ful plum shade. Medium pink colour which is so flattering and very wearable. Perfect for Winter and Autumn, but you could also get away with it in the warmer months. I find this colour is very comparable to Revlon Lip Butter in Sugar Plum, however Plumful is a bit more pink. 

The left swatch is Plumful swatched once, as you can see, pretty sheer. On the right is it built up, it's pretty much as dark as it will go. As you can see, there is a sheen which is really pretty. (Don't mind the streak on my hand, it's just a shadow).

This is it on my lips! I really love it. Now... time to buy everything else from MAC!

Hope you enjoyed this post.

What's in my jar

Hey everyone,

Question: is this glass thing even a jar? 

Answer: unknown.

The glass thing was a shitty Ikea candle, until I removed all the wax. Now it stores the products I use very regularly. It's quite handy, all my stuff sits nicely on my table and it's very accessible. 

Smashbox Colour Correction Primer 

This does not colour correct..... once you smooth it over your face, it's transparent. Nevertheless, I apply it when I know I'm going to have a long day. 

Revlon Colourstay Blemish Concealer 

On an everyday basis (at school), I wear concealer. I like this one, it works and it's not too drying on the skin. 

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion 

My eyelids get oily, and even though I don't wear eyeshadow, this primer keeps my eyelids matte, which helps my mascara not smudge as well. I love it! 

L'oreal Telescopic Mascara 

I use this basically every day. Keeps a curl! Yay!

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain  -Honey

I don't wear this to school, but I often wear it on weekends because it's a very natural shade and lasts a very long time on the lips. 

Rimmel Kate Moss Lasting Finish Lipstick -07

I don't wear this to school either, but again, on weekends I whip this bad boy out. It's a 'my lips but better' shade. It's quite sofisticated too, I think. 

Rimmel Scanaleyes Waterproof Eyeliner

Although it claims it's waterproof, I really don't feel like it is. I wear it on my waterline... and nothing stays there. Also, I'm always tired which means I'm always yawning. And I look like I'm crying half the time, when my eyes are just watery. 

Eyelash curlers 

These work fine. My friend brought them back from Korea for me. Everyone raves on about Shu Uemura eyelash curlers, but I have never tried them. Maybe when these break, I'll fork out the big bucks. (I don't even know how much they are). 

Hope this gave you some ideas of what to integrate into your every day makeup! 

Peace out kiddies,
