This Week I'm Loving... #11

Katy Perry Prismatic World Tour
YAY! I got to see Katy again this past week. You might remember I went to the tour back in May 2014 and last week I hoped on a plane to Germany to go and see it again! This was the 5th time I've seen Katy and have to say she was better than ever! I had so so much fun and I'm so sad it's over! Thank you KP!

Neal & Wolf Silk* & Elevate 
These products are my total holy grail at the moment. Elevate makes my hair so soft and sooth and Silk (the newest in my hair routine) is a fabulous blow-drying lotion which I feel like I've used so much over the last few weeks! Having long hair makes me more prone to wash, dry and style when going out, so this is a must! .... I'm considering cutting my hair short - thoughts please?

Make-Up Revolution Kohl & Flick*
This is a product that I had sat in a draw for so long and only discovered recently. I think it's a known fact that I am pants at eyeliner. I always used to stay clear as my eyes are so small and I thought it made them even smaller but I want to be able to do fabulous cat eye flicks so I have started practising with this and it is such a brilliant eyeliner. Plus it's super cheap!

Naked Palette
My palette collection seems to have tripled over the last few months so picking one to sit down and do my make-up with each time I want a snazzy smokey eye is becoming a slight challenge. Recently I picked up my ultimate fav... the original Naed palette from Urban Decay and fell back in love. I found a fab tutorial on youtube to use and really loved the outcome. 

Sensodyne True White
New toothpaste alert! I spotted this in my local Boots and had to pick it up.... even those it has a painful price tag of £7.99! I love sensodyne toothpastes, I suffer from sensitive teeth so anything that helps that plus whitens my teeth is a winner for me. So far I've really enjoyed using it.

New Look Mom Jeans
I have finally ventured out of the world of skinny jeans... I know it's a miracle! I'd actually been eyeing these up on New Look's website for a few months so when they went into the sale I nabbed them straight away... for only £10! I wore them to Germany last week and they are so comfortable... although I got a size 12 and they are a little baggy I am so pleased with them and think they are going to get alot of wear during the upcoming Spring months!

Love, Rosie
I watched this on a whim yesterday and was so pleasantly surprised by how much I fell in love with it. Lily Collins is a favourite of mine and her English accent was awesome - so impressed! The story made me laugh out loud and want to sit and cry, such great chemistry with all the cast and a great story... I actually think I'm going to buy it on DVD!

MAC Cinderella Royal Ball Lipstick
Why hello lipstick that I've waiting for for what seems like months on end! The Cinderella collection was finally available online last week and I had all of 60 seconds to grab something as it was at the end of my work break when it went live. It was safe to say that I panic bought and only managed to get a lipstick.... which sucked! (But at last I got something eh!) This is a gorgeous nude and I am obsessed with the packaging - super pretty!

My MAC Lipstick Collection

I'm a huge fan of reading posts like these. MAC have so much choice is ridiculous, so knowing what people have picked out is something that always intrigues and interests me! I don't own hundreds on MAC products but the ones I do have I love to bits which brings me to today's post.

This is my MAC lipstick collection (minus my new Cinderella collection lipstick which has arrived yet!) , Yay to lipsticks and owning more and more every month haha!
Velvet Teddy
The newest in my collection - I had been eyeing this up for a long, long while.... mainly because of Kylie Jenner and her awesome nude lips! This isn't a colour I would normally go for but I have fallen in love with it! I've been wearing it alongside my Whirl lip liner and I love it.

Siagon Summer
This is definitely a summer shade - a fab orange tone, great with a tan and fun bright clothing and I think the name is so pretty.

M.A.C. Red
A total classic here. Everyone needs a red lipstick (or 30-odd in my case!) and this one is fab for a gorgeous sultry, lip-popping look.

Rebel
Hands down one of my most worn lipsticks ever. I was always a bit dubious when the dark lip trend started but I have learned to love it, it won't be long before I'm going to have to invest in another one of these beautys.

Herione
If you're looking for a fun bright purple - this is it. I got this in Florida after wanting it for months and I have not been disappointed, I just can't wait to wear it constantly this summer!

Girl About Town
I would have to say this is my "go-to" lipstick, a colour I feel like I can pull off whatever I'm doing, day or night. A great fuschia shade which I have got ALOT of wear out of!

Viva Glam Miley Cyrus
Another newbie now - I have been going through a bit of a spending stage and have bought 3 new mac lipsticks in the last month or so... slap me on the wrist someone and hide my bank cards! I LOVE this colour, high five Miley! (Plus money from these purchases goes toward charity so it's a win-win really!)

Candy Yum Yum
The brightest of them all now! I have to be in a real confident and vibrant mood to pull this off - perfect for festivals and parties in the sun!

Impassioned
This is such an unique shade, I don't have anything else like it and I've had friends just look at me and know what shade it is! A lovely coral-pink with amazing pigmentation just like the rest of them, this is great if you fancy trying something new.

Viva Glam Nicki Minaj
This was the first MAC lipstick I ever bought and I got it from the store in Times Square, NYC. This lipstick brings back so many happy memories of America - I have no idea if you can still get your hands on it?!

Pink Pearl Pop
Another one bought whilst in Florida last year now! I was just browsing the counter and stumbled across this one - we didn't have long til our gate opened so I thought I'd just buy it! It's a fair bit sheerer than most of the others I own but it makes it perfect for work or when I'm doing a real minimal look.

What are your favourite MAC lipsticks?

Sneak Peek : MAC Cosmetics Cinderella Collection


Okay, I'm sure by now you have all already seen these exciting new pictures but I just HAD to share them with you all!

If you've read my blog,  twitter, facebook page, know me - or just noticed my blog header... then you will probably know how much of a Disney fan I am! And what's more amazing than Disney? Disney themed make-up!
Yes, with Cinderella coming out next month (YAY!) Mac are releasing a beautiful collection dedicated entirely to it!  
For once this is a collection that I will happily invest in - and that's not just because it is Disney related!

Alot of the time the limited edition stuff that MAC brings out is very OTT and bold - things that I would love to buy and look at ... but would never actually use! Which really... is a bit pointless considering the prices. (it isn't the cheapest of make-up brands is it?) 

But... the Cinderella collection looks so, so wearable - pretty pinks and nudes, subtle pretty colours plus perfect sultry shades too! 
I personally love the packaging, the baby blue of Cinderella's dress and the glitz and glam of the gold go perfectly together - super pretty Mac!
I really hope I can get my hands on some of it when it goes on sale (I've heard March) - although I know it's going to be a struggle!

1. Lipstick - Free as a Butterfly

2. Lipstick - Royal Ball

3. Lipglass - Happily Ever After

4. Lipglass - Glass Slipper

5. 6 Shade Eyeshadow Palette - Stroke of Midnight

6. Studio Eye Gloss - Lightly Tauped

7. Studio Eye Gloss - Pearl Varnish

8. Fluidline - Little Black Bow

9. Fluidline - Macroviolet

10. Glitter - Reflects Pearl

11. Pigment - Evil Stepmother

12. Pigment - Pretty It Up

13. Studio Fix Lash - Bold Black

14. Iridescent Pressed Powder - Coupe D'Chic

15. Beauty Powder - Mystery Princess


Top of my wishlist - 2, 5 and 14!

Will you be investing in this new collection?
