What's In My Lipstick Bag?

I am very guilty of gathering an ever growing collection of lipsticks which live in a little makeup bag in my bag.  I'm sure a lot of us are guilty of this.  Every now and again I go through them and thin the collection out a little but it inevitably builds itself back up again.

At the present moment it's not too huge.

It does sometimes get to the point where I cannot close the bag.  This is an Estee Lauder bag.  It's one of the ones they bring out every October for breast cancer awareness.

So here's a rundown of what's actually in the bag.

From Left to right they are Sweetie, Viva Glam IV, Hue (see previous post), Blankety, Modesty and Viva Glam Gaga.  All are gorgeous nude colours except for Viva Glam Gaga which has a bit more colour to it.  Perfect for the coming Spring.

Also in the bag are a few other items which for some reason have found their way into it.

From the top we have Mac Bare Slimshine lipstick (discontinued and on my hitless of products to use up), NYX Jumbo Lip Pencil in 703 Pink Nude, Boots No 17 Lip Liner in Rose Blush and a sample of Mac Zoom Fast Black Lash.

What products to you lug around with you unnecessarily on a daily basis?

Mac Hue Lipstick Review

Mac Hue is a beautiful nude pink colour and a very popular choice of an every day lip colour.  I decided to blog this now as mine is almost finished.  This in itself is proof of my love for it as I don't often finish a lipstick before moving onto another one or twenty.

So as you can see it's very close and I'm trying hard to use it up so that I can Back To Mac it.  I don't know why I'm so reluctant to use up the last bit of it as I already have a backup.  Perhaps this week it'll be gone.  I have another Mac lipstick that is in a similar state of almost finishedness so I'm trying to use them both and build up my collection for Back To Mac.

Here I am sporting it in all its loveliness.

Such a pretty colour and I love the texture of it and feel of it on my lips.  It's quite moisturising and it's one of those lipsticks that is very easy to apply without the use of a mirror or even a front facing phone camera.  It's a glaze finish which means it's not too in your face and leaves the perfect amount of colour on your lips.  

It costs £15.50 and is available from Mac Cosmetics in the UK or from your local Mac Stockist.

Here is a swatch of it on my arm,

It is definitely a firm favourite of mine and will be in my life for a long time.  What's your favourite lipstick?

Penny Shadestick and Cranberry Eyeshadow

Here is a look I created using my new Penny Shadestick. I was totally obsessed with this until I got it. It was one of those items I "had" to have. I love it though. I think it brings out the blue of my eyes very well. I am wearing cranberry in the crease and Rimmel Sexy curves mascara in brown/black and Mac vanilla eyeshadow as a highlight. This is my all time faveourite highlight. It's so soft a texure it goes on like a dream. Love it love it love it!!! I'm also wearing Mac Hue on ly lips.
