Heeellooo my lovely little lollipops!!!
(A bit of alliteration there. Ha.)
I hope y'all are peachy perfect for a Monday?
I have an exciting blog post coming up soon which I cannot wait to write. Some of you might hazard a guess from my Twitter & Instagram posts (both 'leluroxxblogger')but I am quite excited.
Annnnyyywaaaayy...
Who doesn't love MAC Cosmetics? Who doesn't just love walking up to that freaking MAC counter and all the epicness just hits you in your mush to the point of almost collapse because it's all so BEAUTIFUL?
I'm not going to lie. I LAAAAVVVV it.
I have only ever bought lip products from the brand but there are A LOT of other items I want now, like the pigments, paint pots and of course more lippies!! Let me know if you guys have any awesome recommendations because I am heading their way soon.
I thought today I would give you my MAC matte lipstick must-haves that I have in my collection. I only wear matte lipsticks and these are some of the best I have currently tried and owned.
Let me know in the comments if you have tried any of these and what you think and don't forget recommendations.

I love the consistency of their matte formula's. I over draw my top lip slightly to make it more even with my bottom lip and I find matte lipsticks are the best for this. I also have the lip liners to go with these shades.
I use 'Cherry' to go with 'Ruby Woo' although there is now an exact lip liner that matches the red. I just need the 'Whirl' lipstick now to match the liner. I find it important to line the lip before applying lipstick.
My trick for making my lipstick stay put longer is to use concealer on the lips first, then apply some matte finishing powder, I then line the lip and fill the lip in with the liner. Finally I apply the matching lippy and more matte powder to complete the style.
Side note | Please try to ignore the state of my lips they constantly go through dry phases so I know they look less than perfect right now. Basically it looks like someone has attacked them with freaking sandpaper. *Covers eyes and mouth*.
Soar Liner |
Whirl Liner and Honeylove Lipstick |
Kinda Sexy Lipstick |
Velvet Teddy Lipstick |
Candy Yum Yum Lipstick and Liner |
Diva Lipstick and Burgundy Liner |
Ruby Woo Lipstick and Cherry Liner |
These are my must have mattes currently. Personally I think 'Diva' could be a little more matte as there is still a sheen coming off it. Other than that my every day essential matte is my 'Honeylove' lipstick and my night must have is 'Ruby Woo'.
Let me know which one is your favourite!!
Over and out.
10/4.
Love

OoOoO! Leya! Those are absolutely beautiful colors! I love Kinda Sexy. I've only ever had 2 different MAC Lipsticks but this post surely makes me want to go out and splurge on some more! I'm a little bit worried about Matte lipsticks as I tend to get very dry lips :(
ReplyDeleteGreat post over all! :)

I have the problem of the dry lips as you can see from the pics ha but I have had that for as long as I can remember. Just make sure you were plenty of lip moisturiser before applying :) My favourite by far is Honeylove. It's the perfect nude. :) xx
DeleteThese are all stunning! Great post!
ReplyDeleteThank you lovely :) there as so many more that I want to get, my least favourite is the Flat Out Fabulous but that is only because I don't think the colour suits me. If you haven't already, try Honeylove it is my favourite of all time. xx
DeleteNow I need all of these! I havent wanted to get Soar as I didnt want to follow the crowd but you've push me over the edge!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog and photos my lovely xx
Haha awww thank you so much for your kind words :) my lips are a state in those photos but I thought I'd be real about it all. Ha. Thank you again for saying that, I work hard so I'm glad you liked it!! My next one is up in a couple of hours xx
Deleteexcellant! I look forward to reading it! Its nice to see images that have not been photoshopped the hell out of. x
Delete:) I don't have photoshop but I do use the smoothing app on my phone sometimes if my skin is having a crappy day. I'm pretty honest but some ppl really photoshop their pics and a lot of the time I think it looks great and really enhances the pic. But in reality we all know no one is THAT perfect. I'm going to get photoshop at some point though as I want to see if I can actually work it properly. Ha ha. X
