Beauty Wish List

With snow days and having to get back into a routine if doing university work I haven't had much time do any shopping. One of my new year resolutions was to buy quality instead of quantity. So I am currently trying to save up and buy things I truly want and not simply buy for the sake of shopping. Here is my current beauty wish list, the ten face mask and urban decay eye primer potions will hopefully be my need of month treat....

Mac Lipstick Snob

I am in two minds about this colour of lipstick but thought I would do a little post on it anyway. I bought Mac Snob on a bit of a whim. I wanted a nice pale lipstick as I don't like wearing dark lipstick if I'm wearing quite a lot of eye make-up.

Snob I would say is a pale pink with a bit of lilic tones in it. As usual Snob keeps up the amazing standard of Mac lipstick it is long lasting and doesn't dry out my lips at all. However I would pick it up as nice pale neutral colour. It is still quite a bold colour but is a very pretty one.

Mac Lipstick So Chaud

I have been after an orange lipstick for quite a while. I tend to wear more pink or berry toned lipsticks. But my lovely friend Emma got me Macs So Chaud lipstick for my birthday. I love Mac lipstick I really do think they are one of the best brands for a good quality lipstick.

So Chaud is a bright matte orange colour with good lasting power too! It is more of a orange toned red which I love, as I have also always loved the idea of wearing red lipstick but it just doesn't look right on me. So this lipstick is the best of both worlds for me, and orangey red lipstick but not actually red or neon orange.

It is quite a summery colour but I love wearing this Mac lipstick with darker more winter outfits. Such as a grey jumper and black jeans to add a pop of colour to a simple outfit.

Dior Lip Serum De Rouge

I have had my Dior Lip Serum in 650 for quite a while. I chose a serum over a lipstick as its more nourishing. It really moisturises my lips and has a soft balmy texture. The packaging is slim and sleek and the lip balm texture makes it easy to apply without a mirror.

The colour 650 is meant to be a peachy colour but personally I think it is more of a coral medium pink. It is quite a warm colour that I think will be great for Autumn.

The main downside to the Dior Lip Serum is that it doesn't stay on very long at all. But I still love it!

Benefit Swoonderful Lipstick

Another product from my Benefit beauty hamper. This silky finish lipstick, in the colour Swoonderful, retails for £14. The actual colour is hard to describe but I will try my best, its peachy but with a hint of a pearly tone so its doesn't look pink. It also has slight silver shimmer to it but isn't over powering. Who knew a lipstick could be so hard to describe eh!

As Benefit promises, it really is 'silky'. It feels almost like a nice creamy lip balm and leaves my lips very soft. The colour isn't very intense but that means it is perfect to wear during the day time.
