*Mac Cremesheen Lipsticks Dare You and Creme Cup

This was the first time I've tried the Rimmel Stay Matte Long Lasting Pressed Powder and I have to say it does the job quite nicely and works well on my, sometimes, oily t-zone.

I recently grew in my eyebrows so I could have them threaded and I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say the lady butchered them!!!! I was pretty gutted as it was so hard to go 3 weeks without touching them, all in the quest for nice, reasonably thick, well shaped brows. Instead I was left with the eyebrows I had in high school (over plucked, pencil thin, clown eyebrows). With brow kits and pencils available, it wasn't the end of the world but because there was so little of my eyebrows left that the pencil I had was too light. I hadn't been able to find my usual Rimmel pencil for ages and the darkest they had was Dark Brown for a while but I managed to find it in Black Brown and this does the job so much better.

When I was clearing out some of my beauty products, I came across 13 empty Mac containers which I had forgotten about. I took 12 of them along to their counter and was told I could get two lipsticks for free in return as they recycle them. At £14.00 each, that's quite impressive!

Swatches
This is Creme Cup which can provide a quite natural look or you can build up the colour like I have here.
I was looking for a deeper/darker red than the Russia Red I already have, so I went with this one named Dare You. I find the cremesheen lipsticks perfect for me as they look dry on my lips.

After wearing a lot of red and darker colours this winter I was looking for a lighter and brighter coloured nail varnish.

I love this Barry M varnish in Peach Melba

That's all for now. xxx
