Most Worn MAC Lipsticks

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 Winter months? 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!

This Week I'm Loving... #15


The Girl On The Train
Yes I am finally reading again! I took four books from my parents bookcase a few weeks ago, this being one of them! My Mum read it recently and said it was brilliant so I thought I would give it a go. So far, so good!

Hollyoaks
I know this is obviously something I watch every week but I'm loving the storylines at the moment! I can't wait for Mercedes to come back and for Kim to be revealed as a nutter haha!

Clearasil Rapid Action Treatment Cream
Unfortunately the last week or so I have had some friends join me on my face..... the big red ugly kind! This stuff is what I run too as soon as I have an unwanted zit - it works like a charm for me and has helped me vend these beasts off!

Sunshine (Finally!)
ENGLAND HAS HAD SUNSHINE! Yes it's true that big ball of fire in the sky does actually work. It's amazing how much it can change my mood and put a smile on my face!
 I went for a lovely walk along to seafront with my favourite songs playing in the week and it really lifted my spirits - it's the little things in life!

Ralph Lauren 5150 Sunglasses
With sun comes sunglasses, these are my total and utter favs at the moment - I did a blog post on them a few months ago! They are great for my face shape (aka a massive face!) and I think the pink detailing on the arms and inside.

Special K Porridge Pot
I love porridge and I love easy porridge. I have been having these for lunch everyday with a few almonds and raisins chucked in - they are great if you are on the go and so, so yummy!

Revenge
I know this was in my 'TWIL' post last week BUT I have still been watching it ... ALOT. I'm half way through season 2 already and am still loving Emily Thorne and her antics!

MAC Viva Glam Miley Lipstick
Most worn lip colour of the week has to go to Miley once again! I love this bright pink shade and have even been wearing it to work!
Writing
Like I said earlier in my "Me Project" post, one of my missions for this year is to write a book! I have now started to draft out my idea and expand my thoughts for it, hopefully soon I can get started on the proper writing - I'm excited for it.

Zoeva Luxe Cheek Brush
This has been my favourite brush for contouring for months now ..... and I'm not sure how it hasn't been mentioned on here yet! It's the perfect angled shape to use with my matte bronzer and highlighters to create great daily contour!

Lee Stafford Poker Straight Flat Iron Protection
Since getting my haircut I have been styling it alot more, which of course means alot more products and alot more protection! The 2 heat protectant's I was using have totally run out so after hunting through my haircare stash I found this beaut which I hadn't used in month! I'd forgotten how fab it was and how much I love the scent!

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?

MAC Viva Glam Miley Lipstick Review

Now, Mac is a brand that a love - alot, but it's also a brand I can't afford to buy willy nilly! (Yes, I'm a poor, poor sole - get that violin out!)

BUT when I saw that the UK was releasing the Viva Glam Miley I knew that I had to invest in the lipstick! As soon as I spotted it on the MAC site I popped it into my basket and headed straight to the checkout before I could be tempted by anything else! 


I used the every-so-helpful code MACTREAT which got me free delivery AND a free sample of a mascara which is amazing - I hate paying postage so any site that can give me free delivery is highly likely to receive my custom!

Anyway back to the product.... this is a total and utter beaut (you probably saw my Instagram post last week)! I do love my MAC lipsticks and it always excites me greatly to have a new one join my collection, as I don't actually buy them that often!
MAC Viva Glam Miley Lipstick
Viva Glam Miley has the iconic mac lipstick formula which I am such a fan off! A hot fushciia pink shade with amazing pigmentation and lasting power - check!
This is my favourite kind of lipstick, a bold colour in a creamy formula - and it's a hot pink (my most worn of all the pinks!), I can't say anything bad about it!
(Sorry this is just a pic from Instagram so the colours are slightly edited... rubbish aren't I!)
I'm really glad I splashed out the £15.50 on this, not only is it going to be one of my most worn this year (I can feel it) but some of the proceeds goes to charity which is awesome! The only other Viva Glam I have is the Nicki Minaj lipstick which I got in New York and have used soooo much over the last few year - these lipsticks rock!

Would you guys be interested in a MAC lipstick collection post? It's something I've been considering for a while!

This Week I'm Loving... #8


Eastenders
I mean this has just got to be in this post! I think if you follow me on twitter you have kind of gathered that I have been obsessed with Eastenders this week! (I do apologise if you follow me on twitter I am aware of my tweeting problem......) #HowsAdam?
Anyway.... It was only bloody Bobby! After reading a few suggestions it was him over the last few weeks I wasn't was surprised as I hoped I would be when the killer was revealed!
The acting on Fridays episode was so incredible - you would never think that was live! A huge well done and congrats to Adam, Laurie, Ben and Mimi!
I can't wait for all the upcoming storylines.... Is dean dead? Where the hell has Kathy been?!


YouTube
Yay! I have finally started filming videos again! I still need to get some form of editing software to make them slightly more exciting but I have really been enjoying filming and I will be uploading more really soon :)
I would love it if you guys would subscribe to my channel - here! It's been so lovely having your nice comments and support both on twitter and on the videos themselves so thank you you lovely people!


MAC Viva Glam Miley Lipstick
Wooo a new mac lipstick in my life! (This doesn't happen alot!) As soon as I saw this was available in the UK I ordered it straight away! It is a gorgeous fuchsia shade of pink (my fav kind of lipstick colour you know!) and the formula is just perfect! Thick and creamy, this amplified lippy is everything I look for!

Nutri-Grain Breakfast Bakes
Formally known as Elevenses these are so so yummy - it's like eating cake but you don't feel as bad about it! The raisin ones are my favs!
Mememe Flawless Concealer
I've been using this loads over the past week! Normally I use my pwoharr paint concealer from seventeen but I felt like changing things up and this was the first replacement I decided to try out! It is light and creamy and blends in so easily, if you need something not as heavy duty but something that still give good coverage I highly recommend this!

Taylor Swift Style Video
My girl Tay has released a new video! I love Style - it's one of my favourites from the album and I really like Taylor's cool mature video to go alongside it! Bravo Swift!

Simple Toner
You may have seen this in my Boots haul a couple of weeks ago, I have been using this instead of forking out for my usual Liz Earle Skin Tonic! It leaves my skin feels fresh and clean, a bargain alternative!

Blistex Lip Brilliance
My saviour of dry lips this week has been this tinted balm from Blistex! It is perfect for everyday at work, it works so well on chapped lips and gives a little colour too without being too OTT for my boring retail job! Plus it smells good too!

Bleach London Silver Shampoo & Conditioner
I have been loving these since getting my hair dyed blonder! I am a bit of a wimp with these products though as I'm scared I'm going to leave them in too long and end up with purple hair (although it would be cool I don't think work would be impressed!) I've used toning products like these before and I found they made my hair feel super dry but with the conditioner from Bleach these actually make my hair feel really soft!

Pure Beauty Magazine Jen/Feb 2015
Super exciting news (which you probably saw on Insta or Twitter like a week ago) - I'm in this month's Pure Beauty magazine! I'm so excited and grateful to be including in such a fab and informative mag AND I'm in it right next to my beautiful buddy Becky!! I'm so glad my work have let me take it home to keep - tis' one to show my mother!
