MAC Zoom Waterfast Lash Mascara

Recently, I made a small purchase on MAC Cosmetics. Like most other beauty addicts, I adore MAC. I repurchased a favourite of mine the Studio Fix Fluid and decided I wanted a new mascara. I love trying out new mascaras because I have a major problem preventing them from running down my eyes so I'm always in search for my perfect one.

I've seen so many posts about the MAC Zoom Waterfast Lash Mascara and I finally caved a bought it! MAC says this mascara is just the same as the original but it provides up to 12 hours of smudge-proof wear against tears, sweat, humidity and water. Although I haven't worn this mascara for 12 hours, it does last a very long time through my job as a waitress, days out in the sun and in cold weather.

This masacara legnthens and seperates my lashes beautifully! I have really short eyelashes so this is just the mascara I need. I brush itself it quite little, it's the normal fibre brush (longer at the bottom and shorter at the top). The short bristles at the top of the brush let you reach the short and awkward eyelashes in the inner corner. As I said previously, I have a problem with finding a mascara that dosent run. I've discovered that my mascara only runs if I use it on my bottom lashes. I used this mascara on my bottom lashes and unfortuantely, it still smudged, which is my only negative.

Overall I LOVE this mascara at £14.50 a pop, it is more expensive than your typical mascara, although it's not the most expensive which is my reasoning for when I repurchase it!

Have you tried this mascara, what do you think about it?

Revlon ColorStay Ultimate Suede Lipstick

Recently I have discovered how much I love the Revlon ColorStay Ultimate Suede Lipsticks, these aren't Revlon's most popular lipstick (the Lip Butters and Matte/ Laquer Lip Balms being far more publicized). I only have four of these lipsticks, but I plan to purchase a lot more!

There are a total of 20 lipsticks in the collection, but only 14 available at Boots; ranging from nudes, to berries, pinks and reds. They reatil for £8.99 each but are being sold for 2 for £10 at Boots, so stock up!

These lipsticks are matte, and when I say matte I mean they define the matte finish. So, if you have dry lips I wouldn't suggest this product, maybe a Revlon Lip Butter instead. I own four of these and the staying power is unbelievable, I'm talking a good five-six hours before you need to top up. I wore Couture 050 to my Leavers Prom and I kept topping up thinking it was wearing off when my friend told me it looked the same the whole night! I wore Preview 070 to a wedding reception then on a night out and I only had to reapply a couple times! The whole night was from 7pm to 3am so it's safe to say it lasts!

Womanswear 010

As much as  I love this lipstick, it's a weird one. When you first apply Womanswear it goes on quote glossy and as a light pink, then as it dries it goes to the familiar sticky- matte finish. It's still a beautiful colour through, it's a light pink with some violet tones.

Preview 070

To me, Preview seems one or two shades darker than Womanwear and a bit more of a 'dirty pink'. I love this lipstick because I think these shades suit me best. Preview also have the violet tones added and a blue undertone.

Couture 050

This is a deep berry-red shade with a strong blue undertone, so it will make your teeth look really white. This lipstick could be my favourite red lip! Out of the four I own this is the most matte so I would suggest exfoliating your lips before applying the this lipstick.

Backstage 035

This is my favourite shade, it does look really dark in the tube but on lips it sheers out slightly to a beautiful berry shade. This is going to be my number one shade for Autumn/ Winter this year

Prom FOTN

Although my Leavers Prom was about a month ago I didn't get around to started my blog, writing the post and taking the pictures till now. This is my first ever blog post, I'm so excited to do it but so nervous so bare with me.

The Base

For my face make up I used Maybelline Baby Skin Pore Eraser, this kept my make up lasting longer which is what I wanted for this special occasion. Although it did not completely erase my pores, it did fill them in a bit so my foundation wouldn't be which is a big problem for me when I don't use a primer.

I used my beloved MAC Studio Fix Fluid Foundation in NW10. I LOVE this foundation I literally cannot say a bad word about it. I love the coverage, the finish just everything! 

This won't come as a shock to many people, for concealer I used Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer in Fair. Again I cannot say a bad word about this product it's my holy grail concealer.

Lastly powder, Rimmel Stay Matte Powder in Translucent. my skin often changes on how oily or dry it is. At prom my skin wasn't especially oily so I didn't use a lot of powder mainly under my eyes because I suffer from awful creasing and I dabbed some around my t-zone.

I don't tend to use blusher and bronzer on a daily basis, so I haven't spent a lot of money on the products. To contour my cheeks, forehead and jawline I used MUA Matte Bronzer. I got this for only £1 it is a bit on the orange side but because I'm super pale I don't use a lot of it. For blusher I used ELF Studio blusher on Peachy Keen, I love ELF products and this doesn't disappoint! I have naturally very red cheeks so I tend to avoid pink blushers, this peach blush gives me a beautiful flush of colour without making me look constantly embarrassed!

The Eyes 

I didn't use false eyelashes as I'm not comfortable applying and wearing them yet so I stuck with mascara. I used the L'oreal Million Lashes Excess mascara in Waterproof Black. I didn't actually realise how many different types of million lashes mascara there are (a new one called 'Couture' has just been released). This mascara is a great choice; it seperated my lashes beautifully and it stayed up all night!

I used a mix of eyes shadows to complete my eye look; the first was Maybelline Colour Tattoo in On and On Bronze this was my which prevented the eye creases!

The next eyeshadow I used for all over the lid L'oreal Colour Riche L'Ombre Pure in Nude 204, I am in love with this eyeshadow! Unfortunately mine cracked and got all over my make up bag and other products but the texture and pigmentation of the eyeshadow is just beautiful. This eyeshadow is gel-based which makes the texture silky smooth!

Lastly I used a matte dark brown eyeshadow for the crease and lower lash line, I used one from MUA in Shade 19 (again only £1) this eyeshadow isn't the best quality but it did the job well enough!

I used two products for my eyebrows; the L'oreal Paris Artiste Eyebrow Pencil in Dark Brun and the Essence Stylist Eyebrow Powder. I used the pencil to define my brows and the powder to fill them in, I love using powder to fill in my brows because it makes them look so full!

The Lips 

For lips I used my favourite lip product at the moment, Revlon Ultimate Suede Lipstick in 050 Couture. Im in love this range of lipsticks they stay put for hours and the pigmentation is amazing. I think the red really complimented the gold on my eyes. This colour also has qiote a strong blue undertone, which helped make my teeth look white.
