MAC Lipsticks - one of the beauty lovers 'must-haves' of the century. From classic shades to limited edition collections - I'm sure you've all got at least one, in my opinion they are one of the best lipsticks out there and you can NEVER have too many! I love the ones I own and my wishlist is as long as my arm but I have a few that seem to always be the ones I reach for first - old faithfuls that I can trust!
Rebel | Velvet Teddy | Viva Glam Miley | Girl About Town
Rebel
Who's says dark shades are only for Autumn or Wintermonths? Not me! I love this colour, fab for both nights out and daytime wearing - this deep purple is going to have to be repurchased soon I think!
Velvet Teddy
Probably the easiest colour for anyone to wear, ever. I haven't yet found a nude that I love as much as Velvet Teddy, this is a fail safe for any look - I love wearing it alongside my Whirl lip liner!
Viva Glam Miley
Miley's addition to the world famous viva glam lipstick range - a gorgeous bright fuschia pink. I am such a huge fan of this shade and always get compliments on it!
Girl About Town
The classic Kirstie. If I had to pick just one pink lipstick to wear for the rest of time this would be it! This is the shade I always recommend to people when they ask me my MAC favourites!
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.

Happy New Year one and all! I hope you all had a lovely time what ever you did to ring the new year in!
It's 2015 and I am seriously looking forward to the next 12 months aren't you?
Looking back over the last year I definitely tried out my fair share of products! (alot of them at that!)
Hair, skin, make-up.... the list is pretty much endless and with them there has been some obvious stand outs that have been used over and over again and in some cases even repurchased!
So instead of doing a December favourites I thought I would give you my 2014 favourites - with a few added non-beauty related things too!
Vera Wang Princess Perfume
I bought this when I was on my way to Florida, I've wanted it for so long and decided to treat myself! I love it and now the scent reminds me of Disneyworld - amazing right?
Maxfactor Masterpiece Max Mascara
This year I have fallen totally back in love with this mascara! It is hands down my favourite mascara ever!
MAC Rebel Lipstick
Probably my most worn lipstick this year! I love this shade so much!
Seventeen Phwoarr Paint Concealer
The best concealer everrrrrr. This keeps my bags at bay, I have literally been through about 6 already!
thebalm Bahama Mama Bronzer
You may have seen my review on this a few weeks ago! This has become my everyday bronzer to contour with, it is a matte beauty!
Wicked
Most of you probably know already I am obsessed with Wicked, and this year me and my mummy finally got to see it after years and years of waiting! IT was everything I dreamt of and more - totally incredible, I porbably listen to the soundtrack everyday!
Folli Follie Rose Gold Watch
This was sent to me back in the summer and I have literally worn it every single day since! I honestly think I would be lost without a watch now.
Taylor Swift - 1989
My girl bought out her new album and as per it is totally and utterly perfect! I cannot fault Taylor or 1989 AND I am going to see her again in June, I am SOOOO excited I could cry!
This brand is definitely one of the best finds of the year! The two products I have from them have become firm favs and I cannot wait to try out more of the range this year!
Aveeno Skin Relief Lotion
I first bought this as I had seen a review by another blogger saying how well it had worked for them, and you know... if a blogger likes it - I want it! This is worked so so well on my dry skin, especially the bad patches I get on my shins, I wouldn't use anything else on it now!

Well, I think this is the latest I have ever put up a favourites post... it's the 11th December already - I do apologise!
November seems like a long old time ago now, but me being me I had written down a list of things I wanted to include in a November favourites post so I have not forgotten!
I was lucky enough to tick something off my bucket list in November and that was to see Wicked.
I have always wanted to see it and for years now I have been praying it would come to our nearest theater, so last year when it was announced it was going to be on at the Mayflower, Southampton my Mum immediately bought us tickets for it and after over a year of waiting we finally got to see it!
It lived upto and exceeded every expectation I had, after listening to the soundtrack for months before it was amazing to finally see the whole story put together. It was a totally faultless and I will hands down be seeing it again for sure. Both witches were incredible and Glinda made me laugh out loud, she was brilliant! Not going to lie.... it was emotional!
After trying out a few products from theBalm in November two of them have found themselves in my new everyday make-up routine. Bahama Mama* and Mary-Lou-manizer* have taken the place of my Sleek contour palette and are now the products I use to contour and highlight! To see my full reviews of these click here and here.
My go-to lipstick of the month had to be Mac's Rebel. My favourite berry shade for the winter, I use this lippy all the time - I'm definitely going to have to re-purchase by the end of this season I reckon!
I think I mentioned these in my last favourites but I'm still using them daily and that is Glade's Honey & Chocolate candle. I have about 4 or 5 of these dotted around my home now, they have been on offer in co-op so I have stocked up while they were cheap! The smell is amazing, it smells a bit like Angel (perfume) and it lasts for hours! Perfect for the home at this time of year.
A new perfume in my life now and that is Kenzo Flower which I have become increasing obsessed with. I got this from my Vivabox*(read about that here!) and have been wearing it constantly since getting it! I know this is more of a light, summery fragrance but because it's new to me I can't help but use it everyday at the moment!
Last but not least is a cheeky clothing item! This Central Perk Friends T-shirt is from Primark and was only £6! Being a huge 'Friends' fan I picked it up straight away, how cute is it? It fits so well, I love cosy everyday t-shirts like this and I have bought quite a few recently from Primarni! Bargain!

More Winter essentials for you lovely girls and boys today! Lip colours are my weakness... I actually think I have an addiction and through the hundreds that I probably own I've picked out a few of my total and utter favourites for these darker, colder months!
I never used to wear darker shades, I actually used to be super terrified of them, I was a wimp and thought they looked horrific on me but now I LOVE them! Plums, reds - they are da bomb !
I've picked a mix of different lip products as my favourites as I do wear a variety! Lipsticks, lipbalms, lipglosses I flick between them all depending on the occasion and my mood!
Left to right :
Mac - Heroine
Revlon Coloururst - Lollipop
Rimmel Apocalips - Eclipse
Rimmel Kate Moss - 107
L'oreal Colour Riche - Blake's Pure Red
Heroine is a colour I've wanted for so so long, I know it has been around for ages but I onlyactually just managed to pick it up about a month ago! I got it in the Orlando airport when I was flying home at the end of September (hello airport prices!) This is the brightest of the shades I've picked out - as you can;t always been dark and moody! I LOVE this purple colour, it looks amazing on the lips and the matte finish helps it stay on for ages!
Lollipop is one of the Colourburst lip butters from Revlon and I have used this for what seems like years! It's the sheerest of the shades I've picked out and is perfect for my everyday look, I love the formula of these lip butters, the nicest ones on the highstreet in my opinion.
Eclipse is one of the Apocalips from Rimmel. If you have read my blog for a while you will know how crazy I went for these when they came out and I still use them all the time! They are a great mix between a lipgloss and a lipstick! A gorgeous opaque colour with a lovely shine and great lasting time - these come in so many colours and now they have matte versions out.... which I need in my life!
107 - I think everyone owns this beauty! The Kate Moss range from Rimmel are one of the best out there and this colour is one I would recommend to everyone!
Last but not least it is the newest of the lot - Blake's Pure Red from the new Pure Red Collection at L'oreal! You may have seen my post about this a few weeks ago (here) - I love this red and the whole collection actually - you can't go through winter without a red lippy can you!? The colour of Christmas!
What are your favourite lip colours for this time of year?
I also LOVE Rebel from Mac, Mystic from Sleek and the Little Mix Perrie lipstick from Collection!
