MAC RiRi Woo Swatches & Review

 I am ashamed to admit I got sucked into the bandwagon of the Rihanna MAC collection which started off with RiRi's signature lipstick with her name engraved on the bullet. Other than that the packaging is the standard MAC packaging.

I believe it has been based around the Ruby Woo lipstick from MAC which I haven't tried but have heard on the grapevine it is very similar. I do own Russian Red which is the same 'Matte' formula and I do love! Russian Red is a darker shade of red but not a whole lot different compared to RiRi Woo.

There was only a limited number going on sale on Friday 3rd May so I made sure I was ready and waiting on the site at the 11am launch (sad I know) and apparently they sold out in 3 hours which is epic! Don't worry if you missed out though, they are bringing more back in June! 

The formula is very drying as with the majority of Matte lipsticks so make sure you prep well beforehand but as with most MAC lipsticks they staying power is amazing.

I do honestly believe this would be a good shade on everyone it is a classic glamour red (think Marilyn Monroe.)  And the blue undertones are perfect for making them teeth look pearly white!

I've included a swatch of RiRi Woo next to Russian Red as well as me wearing the RiRi Woo in natural daylight to give you the true colour.

I am actually looking forward to seeing what Rihanna's next items in the collection will be! 

Will you be purchasing the lipstick when it comes back in June? What are you opinions on it?

Models Own Blueberry Muffin

I'm a sucker for a pastel colour wether it be in clothes, hair or nails so when I seen the new Model's Own spring collection of Nail Polish's I HAD to invest. To add to the beauty they are actually fragranced, like seriously I thought can this be any more amazing! 

There was 5 pastel colours to choose from and I chose a very light blue colour which smelt like 'Blueberry Muffin.' Perfect! You can see the full collection here!

Now the only problem being is, I cant paint my own nails I do an AWFUL job and look like a 5 year old painted my nails. I needed a new set of gel nails so I took the polish with me to the nail salon to have them do my nail's with. 

After having them done and waiting for them to dry I was super impressed with the colour but they don't smell like they claim too :( All I can smell is nail polish smell. This may be because of the top coat but everyone wears a top coat to make your nail polish last right? So I am slightly disappointed at this.

That being said though I love the colour and the staying power has really held up. It has been over a week since I had my nails painted and I have had NO chipping what so ever, amazing considering these retail for £5!

I will certainly be investing in some more for the upcoming summer! 

What are your recommendations for pretty pastel colours?

Everyday Make-up Video!

Hi everyone!

I decided to film a video on my Everyday Make-Up as I thought it would be better than just taking photos!

It was my first ever video and my editing skills aren't great but I hope you enjoy it regardless, it can only get better, right?

Let me know what you think I would love to know any of your recommendations.
