Hello Beauties,

Mac has been working on this launch for quite a while now. I have been waiting for Mac to launch a matte liquid lipstick range for the longest time now so when I found out that they have been working on this collection to launch I was way too excited. I’m sure I jumped around my room for way too long because of this announcement. They have still not released much information about the range so I am still in the dark about the date of their launch. All they have told us with regards to when it will be launching is that it is set to release this winter.

But of course I had to do my research and stalk the blogs and Instagram accounts to try and find out more information about the collection. The textures of these lipsticks are described as a rich suede matte finish that is totally blowing up in the world of lipstick finishes. It is a weightless liquid lipstick and its Colour-Flex Technology allows these liquid lipsticks to stay on for over 8 hours. Now that is some serious staying power in terms of liquid lipsticks. I am definitely one of those girls that put off wearing dark colours more often due to being worried about it transferring onto my teeth or wearing off unevenly when I am talking or eating. It also states to be non-feathering; this means that it is not meant to move away from the lip line or seep into those little lines around the perimeters of your lips.

There are colours to be released. The collection includes an array of shades from the really pale pinks to those dark winter shades. I am very intrigued about the darker shades as it is coming into the winter months.

Colours Include;

Divine-Divine (Light Pink Shade)

Personal Statement (Barbie Pink Shade)

To Matte With Love (Coral Pink Shade)

Tailored To Tease (Medium Barbie Pink Shade)

Re-Collection (Lavender Shade)

Oh,Lady ( Purple Pink Shade)

High Drama (Plum Shade)

Dance With Me (Dark Red Shade)

Feels So Grand (Red Shade)

Fashion Legacy (Orangey Red Shade)

Quite The Standout (Pale Coral Orange Shade)

Rich & Restless (Coral Peach Shade)

Mademois-Elle (Pale Pink Milkshake Shade)

Back In Vogue (Light Baby Pink)

Lady-Be-Good (Light Baby Pink)

I Hope ye are just as excited as I am for this well anticipated launch, I am a matte lover so this is music to my ears. Hope ye enjoyed this post!

WHERE HAVE I BEEN? yes i know, no excuses i have been terrible! but i'm back for good!

This review is about a few brushes that i purchased around christmas time from Blank Canvas Cosmetics! I heard so many reviews from irish youtubers and bloggers about these brushes and I never really got the chance to order makeup online but i was so excited for this to be my first real purchase! The delievery was really fast, i'm gonna say like 4-5 days i believe. The website has a wide range of brushes and brushes sets and also eye shadow palettes and blush palettes. I was in aweeee!

I got 5 brushes and also a blush/contour pallete! I seriously love everything i got and i was so happy with the service and the quality of these brushes! I really like building my collection and i am just overall happy with the company.

My favourite brush that i got was the  'F22 HD DOME FACE BRUSH IN METALLIC PURPLE'. It is a really dense and compacted brush which gives a lot of coverage to your foundation and really buffs it into the skin instead of it just sitting ontop on the skin. It is also a rounded top so it can really fit and 'swirl' into the creases in our faces. Its also very soft and it is handmade from extra soft high quality synthetic fibers and whats even better? It is 100% cruelty free!!

Another face brush that i got was the 'HOT PINK F20 FLAT BUFFER BRUSH'. I use this brush for either my power to really make sure my powder it being pressed onto the face instead of moving around the product that's underneath. I also use it for foundation if im going for a more natural look as it isn't as dense and compact as the brush above. I first thought when i ordered this it would be a bit more compact but i am in no way disappointed as it makes the skin look so flawless.

The first eye brush i got was the 'E24 FLAT SHADER BRUSH' OMG! i cant even get over how much i love this brush, ever since i got it nothing else is as good as putting on my base eyeshadow. It evenly distributes the eyeshadow, it pacts it on so its vibrant and it's also extremely soft! I seriously need to get another few of these cause if i lost it i'd be devastated!

The  'E25/26 BLENDING DUO' brush is just amazing, I use the E26 to distribute the eye shadow into the crease and give it a little blend and then, just before i'm finished i go in with the other side to make sure there isn't a defined line. This blends my eyeshadow so beautifully like no other brush i have found and the E25 side is also good for powdering the under eye concealer and to get a defined/strong contour at the side of your face,This brush is so soft like all the others and this brush is made from natural goat hair.
€10.99

And last but not least the 'F10 SMALL SOCKET BLENDER'. Since ive gotten this brush they have come out with a newer version called the 'E10 SMALL SOCKET BLENDER(SYNTHETIC VERSION)' This is now a holy grail product for me! It makes it so easy to get a defined crease and gets into those places that might be difficult to get with a normal blending brush. This brush is very soft and is a must for us girls that don't have a very defined crease.

As you can tell i am delighted with these brushes and there hasn't been any shedding during the 6 months i've had them. These brushes are extremely versatile and affordable! They are top quality and at such an amazing price!! The service was amazing and was such an ease, especially when you're not use to ordering products online, The website is outstanding, so clear and informational!

A New Modern Look!

So this blogpost is a bit of a change from the others that I've done.

I recently changed my whole look with my glasses, I went for a more modern and bold look. For about a year or 2 years now i always wanted the geek style glasses. So I just went for it and made a trip into my local specsavers in the city center. Making this change was not as easy as I thought as I had quite a few options to choose from and picking one was just not easy at all. The good thing was I knew what style I wanted to go for but when I went in I was amazed by how many modern, bold and safisticated style glasses they had in store.

For the last 5 years now I've always went for the boring rectangled shape glasses, which I did love and never had any complaints about them. But as I've gotten older I've felt the need to have a more safisticated look and a more 'in trend' look with my glasses. Almost like using my glasses to my advantage and making them an accessory.

I have to say that the people in specsavers are so nice and helpful with trying out glasses and looking for the style you want. The also have so many offers in store and SOOOOO many styles for any age. So props to specsavers!!

So my new glasses are called Tristan 24881838, these are actually the men styled glasses but they are perfect! I can't even get over how much I love them and how chic and safisticated they make me look! It's like wearing the cinema 3D glasses after taking out the plastic parts. It also makes me feel like I can still wear my glasses in pictures, I don't feel the need to take them off.

I have finally got the act of contact lenses, now i do normally where my glasses when i need them for television and school, but when i do go out for parties and such i do prefer to where contacts!!(when i can afford them haha!)

Hope you enjoyed this review on my new glasses,
