NARS Cactus Flower Cream Blush


Hello again everybody! Today's going to be another quick (really quick) post about one of my new favourite blushes. Again, something I bought overseas, but this beautiful blush is still available from Australia in Mecca Stores for a bit of a higher price. ($45 AUD)

Hopefully I will get around to taking better pictures (I took this one overseas, it being one of the only pics that wasn't blurry - sorry!) so that I can really show you the shimmer and maybe even the texture. Anyway onto the review...
At first I was actually sort of disappointed with this. Its not as creamy as the rest of my cream blushes and it made me feel like I had to use a lot to get any colour even though it is really pigmented. If you get me haha! As you can probably guess I love this blush now! It doesn't last as long as a cheek stain but wears much longer than all of the rest of my NYX, Australis and Topshop cream blushes.

If you'd like me to I could do an overviews of all of the stains/creams I have for my cheeks? Just say the words. Anyway overall I would give this a... 8.5/10. Just because even though it is a gorgeous bright poppy colour that really looks great on my fair skin, I think if you were to pay $45 here in Australia you could get something just as nice for less. Although it is pretty awesome... I don't know.

I'll hopefully (crossing my fingers that future me does this) take some better pictures of swatches etc.
Bye for now guys!
Have you tried any cream blushes? What are your favourites? I'd love to know!

M.A.C Chile Lipstick Review

Hey everyone, sorry for the MIA thing. Since I last talked to you I have been over to Europe! I can't believe it, everything was incredible over there. Anyway I thought I should just jump back into everything and I'm starting off with...(even though you already know because its in the title..) a M.A.C lipstick review!

The lipstick I am going to review is called Chile and it is a gorgeous orangey-red.
M.A.C Chile lipstick $35 AUD
I actually bought this while I was in London so I got it a little cheaper (14 pounds) but here in Australia its at a steep price of $35. It is matte lipstick and I thought it was going to smell like vanilla really strongly but it doesn't. This is my new favourite thing to put on my lips. It stays on forever, I swear, I wear it to school and its still there (faded but still there) by the end of the school day. Once I put a stain underneath and this on top and it was still as bright as ever by the end of the day.

Although this is my first M.A.C lipstick, it will definitely not be my last as it is the best formula of a lipstick I have ever tried. 





I hope this review has helped someone! Don't forget to leave a comment! See you next time!

Have you ever tried M.A.C lipsticks? What is your favourite one?
