My 2015 Summer Bucket List

Hi Guys,

Ok, so this blog post is a little different from my usual beauty related posts, but as its getting closer to the summer holidays (in the UK), I though it could be both relevant and useful.  

Now love to keep lists, people who know me would probably say that keeping/making lists is an obsession of mine, which has both good and bad qualities to it. 

 One list I have had for a long long time now is my bucket list. I think that keeping a bucket list is a great way to get out there and do things you wouldn't necessarily do, but its also its a cute way to look back in years to come of everything you have accomplished. 

So, unlike the average person, I have 2 bucket lists. One is a short term list, which contains a list of things I would like to accomplish within a year or a summer. Whereas my long term bucket lists, contains a list of things I would like to accomplish over my life time (which has more personal targets on).

This post is focusing on the short term side of my bucket list. There are 2 reasons as to why I'm writing this post, the first being to make a public list of things I want to achieve over the summer. But also to inspire and challenge you guys to go out and make a summer bucket list of your own and hopefully make some memories as well.

*Some of theses aren't particularly summer related, but they are things I either haven't done yet or things that I enjoy doing and need to make more time for.*

Mac Lipstick Collection

Hi Guys, its Autumn.

I Hope you've all had a good week back at school or work after the Christmas period? I decided to do a post on my mac lipstick collection, as it is one of my most prized collections. Like most beauty bloggers will say, this post isn't to boast or brag, it’s simple to inform about my opinions. My collection is neither the biggest nor the smallest, but hopefully I will be trying to expand it over time.

So I guess to start with which Mac Lipsticks I actually own. So from left to right we have… Angel –  Frosted, Snob – Satin, Lovelorn – Lustre, Speak Louder – Creamsheen, So Chaud – Matte, Hot Tahiti – Glaze, Diva – Matte, Heroin – Matte.

Here are the swatches from all of them, in order.

There are the colours I would consider summer colours, they are all pinks and nudes.my favourite one from these four is ‘Snob’ it is a light pink, perfect for everyday looks, especially if you've gone for a heavy eye make-up look. It just gives your lips that hit of colour. They all leave a shiny coat, some more than others.

 ‘Angel’ is my go too nude colour, ‘Speak Louder’ is a toned down hot pink, and ‘Lovelorn’ is an average pink colour. They are all amazingly pigmented, and the most perfect pinks I own.

These for colours are my winter/autumn colours. As we all know dark lips are perfect for the colder season! And out of these for ‘Diva’ is my favourite, actually I think it’s my favourite mac lipstick of all. It is the perfect dark red, goes with any outfit, make-up look or hairstyle. Plus it makes it look like you've put more effort into your make-up than you actually is. The matte colours aren't drying at all, as long as you put a bit of lip balm on, your good to go.

‘Heroin’ was my riskiest purchase; it’s a purple colour, not my normal choice.  I have to say I don’t wear it as often as I would like to but I still love it just as much as the rest. ‘Hot Tahiti’ is the newest to the family, it’s a gorgeous glossy toned down red. And last but not least, ‘So Chaud’ is a bright red/orange.; it’s great for brightening us the cloudy days. 

Finally on to the packaging. They may look small and boring to any ordinary person, but to a beauty blogger they are much more. The packaging plays an important part in the decision making of any beauty product. If the packaging is good then we are more likely to invest in it. The little back bullet shape with the silver band around the middle is just so sophisticated and perfect. They are recolonised world wide.

Although they are £15.50 a lipstick, it may sound a tad pricie, but the are sooo worth it!!!
