Top 5 Lipsticks

Today I thought I would share my current top 5 lipsticks with you. Lipstick is my thing and I'm constantly wanting more even though I always seem to gravitate towards the same shade of pink!



#1 Face of Australia Lip Quench Lipstick in Peaches and Cream
I picked this up about a month ago and I have been absolutely loving it. It's the perfect shade for those days when I don't want to deal with the upkeep of a bright lipstick. It's beautifully moisturising and creamy on the lips. 

#2 MAC lipstick in Creme Cup
This is one of their Cremesheen formula lipsticks and it's a perfect everyday colour. It's just a lovely pink shade and the formula is super creamy and smooth on the lips. This was my first MAC lipstick and I've loved it since day one. I think this will be one of the first lipsticks I use up completely!

#3 Maybelline Colour Sensational Lipstick in Vivid Rose
This is one of those shades that I unintentionally gravitate towards. I have so many lipsticks in this shade but I can't get enough! Maybelline do really well with their lipsticks. The formulas are great, lasting power is great and colour selection is great as well. One of the best lipstick collections in the drugstore and this colour is just one of my collection.

#4 MAC lipstick in Show Orchid
This one I got for Christmas from my Mum and I've been reaching for it quite often since. It's a gorgeous pink with a blue undertone. It's one of their Amplified formulas and I am absolutely in love. It gives off such a nice sheen when first applied and the lasting power is amazing as well. You just can't go past MAC lipsticks.

#5 Lime Crime Velvetine in Red Velvet
This is my go to red lipstick. Lime Crime has done an incredible job with the Velvetines. They are a liquid lipstick that dries to a complete matte finish and does not budge. I wore this on the day of my dance concerts and it lasted the whole time up until I ate a mango (it lasted through all other food though!).

What I Got For Christmas 2014

Well hello friends! Long time no chat! Christmas has quickly come and gone for another year and I can't believe what a year it has been! I've seen lots of 'What I Got For Christmas' videos on YouTube so I thought I would do a post about what I got this Christmas. 

To begin with, my boyfriend got me the most amazing two presents. Number one was The Sims 4. I have been a devoted Sims fan ever since it came out in the year 2000. Yes, I'm a bit of a dork but I couldn't care less! =P The second present he got me was.. wait for it.. The Urban Decay Naked 3 Eyeshadow Palette. I was so excited like you wouldn't believe. He's lucky enough to have a sister who lives in San Francisco who was able to send it over. I can't express my love for it enough!! 

My mum was so generous as well. The first thing I received was the Benefit Hoola Bronzer which I have been eyeing off for so long. It's as good as it's talked up to be. The second was two MAC lipsticks in the shades Show Orchid and Rebel. Show Orchid is definitely my new favourite lipstick! She also was lovely enough to buy me a new perfume. She got me Daisy Dream by Marc Jacobs. Honestly, Marc Jacobs can do no wrong with their perfume bottles. They are absolutely gorgeous. 

I was also lucky enough to be given a little makeup storage unit from my family KK. I was literally talking about buying one the day before and then my wish came true, so to speak. It's just got two wider draws on the bottom, two half draws next to each other above that and then storage for lipsticks and bits and pieces on the top.

I could not be more grateful for all I received and I hope everyone had the most amazing Christmas. I spent the day with family with lots of food and laughter and enjoyed every second of it. Here's to 2015!
