Lipstick -MAC - Cremesheen - On Hold
Tommy546 5/21/2011 7:06:00 PM
Okay, so this is my first "red" lipstick. and I have to say that I LOVE it =) I never give Mac lippies full marks because the logo scratches off and it's the most annoying thing ¬¬ But the lipstick itself is amazing! I've been wearing this for over 6 hours now and that only includes a tiny touch up (just the inner lip, I ate my tea and had coffee) You can eat with this on, you can drink, it's amazing!! The colour is a very gorgeous red that it super pigmented yet manages to remain a super wearble colour!! It matches any look and any skintone amazingly, it's a raspberry-ish lipstick!! The part I had to touch up faded into a pinkish red that was also a GORGEOUS colour, meaning that if I was to apply this lightly, I would get a gorgeous deep berry pink colour =) This lipstick is MAJORLY underrated!! It's like a more pigmented Viva Glam Cyndi!!! Cremesheens are super moisturizing and pigmented and last for a long time on the lips. This lipstick does not bleed and applies evenly and smooth. I really love this and I would for sure get this again! LOVELY <3

Lipstick -MAC - Lustre Lipstick - Pretty Please
Tommy546 5/17/2011 10:00:00 AM
Okay, so even though I hate that the mac logo scratches off of their lippies, I don't care with this one! ( It hasn't yet, but it'd never make me think any less of this lipstick) This is probably my favorite Mac Lipstick and a "Holy Grail" product for me. Alot of people seem to say this lacks colour and is unflattering and complain about it's sheerness as with most lustres... I have NC15/fair pale skin and this is so so flattering to me, but I think this will genuinely look great on fair, tan, light and dark skin tones, both cool and fair, seriously <3 I have a meduim pink pigment to my lips naturally although sometimes darker as I get dry lips from time to time... But this shows up wonderfully on me, it looks like a pale baby pink with an almost fleshy hint to it. It's moisturising and it can applied sheer AND can be built to an opaque coverage. It can last anything from 2-5 hours I'd say but I find most lustres can. I always put balm on 10 mins prior to ANY lipstick no matter what finish, and it seems to work for me. I can re apply this very easily and as often as needed (which I can't with all lipsticks) And even if your lips are slightly dry or red or flaky, this colour helps to neutralize them and actually makes you lips moister and lush and looks very even and neat. love love love this colour and I will be getting as many back ups of this as I can, I would buy this product again and again and again... and again!! <3

Lip Treatments -MAC - Lip Conditioner (tube)
Tommy546 5/7/2011 8:16:00 PM
I 100% totally completely utterly LOVE this product!! I wear this overnight, every night and it totally AMAZING!!!! This just softens, heals, moisturizes and soothes your lips better than any other product I have ever come across! It's alot different to the pots or wax based balms Mac have made (which are good don't get me wrong, they just don't do what this does!!) I really love this stuff and a small small amount (smaller than a pea... seriously) goes a long way!! I go just outside my lip lines to make sure I get no dryness what so ever =D it comes out slowly to prevent waste and it smells like vanilla cupcakes heaven in a product, love it =) <3

Lipstick -MAC - Viva Glam Gaga
Tommy546 5/7/2011 8:11:00 PM
Okay, so this deserves full marks for many reasons! I hope nothing scratches off this lippy because the amount of detail is gorgeous!! aside from the tube being pretty, the colour does not disappoint either! It's a very pretty blue based baby pink yet still maintains a slight amount of warmth.... or something. It's hard to describe but this colour is gorgeous and ALOT more wearable than you would imagine =D It's creamy and fairly opaque in texture and it's buildable to boot! It feels moisturizing and does not appear to look dry atall, it lasts about 2 hours before a touch up is needed, but I don't mind that and it fades nicely rather than getting blotchy and patchy. another amazing thing about viva glam lipsticks is that all of the money goes to their aids fund, which is amazing!! not just proceeds, every penny! amazing lippy, amazing cause. =)

Lipstick -MAC - Lustering
Tommy546 5/7/2011 8:05:00 PM
The only reason it's not full marks is because Mac lipsticks logo scratched is which is a total annoyance ¬¬ This is a gorgeous berry pink colour and it's very buildable and full of pigment! I love this as it's moisturizing and it's so pretty! it's very wearable yet gives your look a gorgeous edge =D this can last from anything between 2-5 hours really depending on how much you apply and what you do in between (drink or eat alot etc etc...) I love this lippy and it really doesn't get enough hype or attention! <3

Lipstick -MAC - Cremesheen - Creme d'Nude
Tommy546 5/7/2011 8:02:00 PM
As I always mention, the only reason it's 4 stars is because the mac logo scratches off the lipsticks which a major annoyance! Creme d'nude is a very odd lipstick. It looks weird and dryish when you first apply, and after about a minute it looks absolutely stunning!! It's very opaque and buildable!! It's got alot of warm notes but still remains a perfect nude lip for fair skin =) I love this lippy and it's always pretty and it's moisturizing and long lasting. This seems to last about 3-4 hours which is great =) love love love, get this if you want a perfect nude lip!! P.S. It's CLOSE to the colour Myth by Mac but not atall drying!! <3

Blush -MAC - Mineralize Blush - Utterly Game
Tommy546 4/28/2011 3:33:00 PM
This is an AMAZING blush!! I seriously LOVE this!! It's a peach colour which has a hint of pink (making it coralish if applied lightly) it's super pretty and wearble!! the packaging is good and you barely need any product for the perfect peachy cheeks!! I imagine this will look great on a number of skintones and with a number of hair colours!! I would for sure buy this one again =)

Lipstick -MAC - Satin Lipstick - Myth
Tommy546 4/28/2011 3:28:00 PM
The colour of this a very pinkish beige, it IS a perfect nude colour for a fair skintone. however, this lipstick (and all of the satins) are much too drying for me and my lips =/ I love the pay off and everything but it's simply not worth it to me when mac has other amazing finishes!! (cremesheens, lustres, even frosts!!) I would recommend creme d'nude as apposed to this shade!! <3

Lipstick -MAC - speed dial cremesheen
Tommy546 4/28/2011 3:25:00 PM
Okay to start off with, the only reason it's not full marks is because the mac logo scratches off the lippies and that is a major annoyance!! The lipstick itself: Speed Dial is one of the most wearable pinks around!! Macs lipsticks tend to be very intimidating in the tube, but alot of them are far prettier on the lips!! The colour is a cool blue toned medium pink with a dash of warmth, it's very buildable which means it can be worn as a sheer pink sheen or a full on yet not in your face pink, (as subtle as a pink can be) Alot of people say that the cremesheen formula is drying but I find that's not the case at all, my lips seem to improve when I wear cremesheens... of course a little balm 5-10 mins prior is always better than none but depending on your lips moisture level may not be 100% necessary The lasting power is around 3-5 hours it will for sure fade out at hour 4 but very nicely, not patchy what so ever (no mac lippie I have does that). You can eat and drink with these and they can withstand alot, but of course be as careful as you can if you want to keep all of the colour. back to the colour ;) I think this is one of those pinks that will suite any skintone and will flatter every hair colour ( I hope!!) It's a very understated shade and I really reccomend this =) <3

Eye Shadow -Urban Decay - Naked Palette
Tommy546 2/10/2011 12:27:00 PM
Okay, so I've been wanting/looking/pining for one these palettes for a long long time now!! I live in the UK and usually find this on a website when it's just sold out, not fun =/ So I found one on Ebay and it was around £40 all together (which is the cheapest I've seen it!!) My boyfriend bought this for me as an early Valentines present! And it has exceeded my expectations!! I was so surprised as to how pigmented these shadows actually are!! A tap or two is all you need for a whole lid!! WOW.... I love Mac shadows but... These are so much easier to apply and I seem to achieve a better colour pay off!! They blend like a dream and all of the colours match perfectly together =) I love every shade, and although it's a "neutral palette", It has some gorgeous dark shades that make some beautiful looks! People seem to hate the highlighter shadow "Virgin"... but I am fairly pale (but not white, I have a pinkish peach skin tone) and this shadow is perfect for me and I use it daily now. The liners are an amazing part of the deal and super super useful!! I love how many exclusive shades there is in this palette and I will be getting a back up at some point because I can't live without this palette now that I have it! Seriously worth the money!! it's amazing and would match almost ANY skin tone =) The amount of shadow is the same as any single Urban Decay shadow, so the price of 2 singles (pretty much)... and I get 12 shades, 2 mini liners AND some of the legendary Primer Potion! that is one hell of a deal!! Not to mention a lot of the shades are exclusive to this palette as is the brown shadow (Whiskey) Pro's: What you get for the price is just crazy. Great pigment and easily blends. Exclusive products that looks great with any skin tone. Con's: Not really a con BUT... The only thing I can think of that may not be amazing for everyone ( I am quite messy at times with make up) Is the palette is a velvet/felt type material on the outside and you do have to watch where you put it etc... BUT that being said, just be careful!! it's a precious palette!! I love it I really do, I can't say enough great things about this palette so yeah, GET IT IF YOU CAN!! =) xo

Blush -MAC - Mineralize Blush - Warm Soul
Tommy546 1/9/2011 11:42:00 AM
This is one of the most stunning blush colours that I have ever been blessed to wear. It matches any make up look and can be worn very slightly for a natural look or a little darker for an intense look. The colour can look a very pinky peach and builds to a raspberry type of colour if heavier applied!! The shimmers and tones in this blush are gorgeous and honestly, just really compliment the skin. I would imagine this would look lovely on any skin colour and it is in my case a staple piece in my make up collection. I will be getting this again and I am sure whoever tries this, will love it. wow <3

Lipstick -MAC - Pro Longwear Lipcreme Collection in Overtime
Tommy546 1/9/2011 11:33:00 AM
WOW!! That's the best way of explaining this product. I'm certain that all of the colours are as stunning as this and will apply and last as well also. This is more of a mousse or something rather than a lipstick... It's nice and moisturizing and soft to wear. It looks great with pretty much any look your going for and it stays on for hours and hours!! I can drink repeatedly with bearly any of this coming off, yet unlike some lipsticks, it's not at all difficult to remove and I've never had this drying my lips out (if anything it helps them and keeps them moist!) I seriously hope people get these because they will be so happy with the results and seriously for anyone who wants one of these but might be a little reluctant, GET IT.... seriously it's amazing!!! I will get another one of these when it's gone, it's a must! =)

Blush -MAC - Harmony
Tommy546 1/9/2011 11:26:00 AM
I use this blush alot of the time I wear make up!! It is easy to blend and perfect for a natural contour!! I sometimes mix this with other MAC blush shades and I feel it is simply amazing. Matches any make up look and it's really buildable! I will be getting this shade again for sure. I have been using this for years now and I've no where near even started to wear into this powder. It's worth every penny and suites alot of skin types/colours!! it's great!
