MAC 'Diva' Lipstick

Hey guys,

Well the other day in MAC in Cardiff I traded in some empties for a lipstick. I love that you can do that with MAC. It was such a hard decision and my left hand was covered in swatches. Crazy times haha.


Excuse the pictures, I took them on my iPad in the hotel. I needed to use the lipstick that night. Yes I needed to haha.

I don't have a particular shade of colour that I love more than anything else. I have reds, pinks, nudes, berry shades and so forth. When it comes to finish, I do prefer a matte finish. I find they last longer and just look nice on my lips.


I was genuinely torn between Diva and Please Me, which is weird considering Diva is a dark shade and Please Me is a pinky/nude. I am weird haha.


I would consider this shade as the ultimate vampy shade. Such a gorgeous burgundy/maroon shade. I think, and I could be wrong, the undertone is neutral but some may say it has a slight red undertone. I do think this lipstick would suit everyone. If you want to vamp up a look or go for a dark lipstick just for fun, then get Diva. If you don't want to go as dark as Cyber that is.


On my lip swatch there is a shine from the sun. Oops. You can see it's dark but nothing unwearable. The staying power is awesome, I got about 6 hours. It felt comfortable on my lips and didn't feel dry. It held its own against the wind and rain so YAY!

I'm super happy with this buy, well reward. It is sold out on the MAC website but is in store.

Have a good day,

Victoria xox

Revlon Colorburst Matte Balms | JanBlog #20

Image
Hey guys, Well I ran out this morning to grab the new Revlon Colorburst Balms as I have seen them on every American YouTube video and blog so I needed one at least, or them all. Now they had the 'Just Bitten Kissable', 'Lacquer Balms' and 'Matte Balm' in stock, for now. They seemed to be going fast. I really didn't like any of the others and my hand was full of swatches. Sometimes I just get very focused on particular shades, like today. I have this bad habit of going for bright pinks and deep reds lately and everything I buy lip wise lately is cool toned haha. How pretty do they look? I got 'Standout' which is the deep red and 'Showy' which is the vibrant pink. Both cool toned hehe. They seem to be exclusive to Boots at the moment but are on their website, click here. They retail for £7.99 and are excluded from any offer going on at the moment. They have a wide range of colours in all versions of the balm. A

My Acne Story | LUSH Grease Lightning

Image
Hello loves,  Well I have a different kind of post today. It is about my acne and a product I tested to try help it out.  I mentioned this in my Top 5 LUSH products post just this week. It is one of a kind. I am about to share some rather honest pictures so look away if you're easily offended.  My skin is oily in the t-zone area and can be dry elsewhere. It is also quite sensitive and I have redness on my jawline that can sometimes be quite visible. I use to have acne prone skin when I was a teenager and into my early 20's.  I will link to the LUSH website where you can see ingredients etc at the end.  I had noticed several blackheads on my face and really didn't want them to sit there and become worse so I decided to try this product. It straight away smells like Witch Hazel and Tea Tree which I like, it's an almost clean smell. It feels like a gel and as it dries you can feel it tighten over the designated area. This disappears when yo

Collection Does It All 5in1 Mascara

Image
Hey. Well the other week I saw Shaaanxo instagram a picture of her lashes using a Collection mascara. I thought wow that's pretty impressive for a product under £5. This mascara claims to curl, volumise, lengthen, condition and that it's long wearing. I can tell you now this is all true. I have been testing this for about a month now and it is seriously impressive.  I am terribly fussy with mascaras. I don't tend to like the massive wands with tonnes of bristles sticking every which way. It was very surprising to me that I love this mascara. The wand is very comparable to Maybelline 'The Rocket' and Benefit 'They're Real'. When I tried Maybelline's 'The Rocket' I was constantly poking myself in the eye or mascara would go all over my eye lid. I didn't find that it did a whole lot for my eyelashes. This beauty is £4.99 in Boots or Super Drug and sometimes they have it on offer for £4. I genuinely love this
