My Mac collection!

Hello guys!

I thought I would write a post and give you a little Monday pick me up;) Recently I have gone a little Mac crazy and for those in the know Mac is the holy grail of make up and my collection has grown from 1 lipstick to 3, a foundation and a blusher (and hopefully more for christmas!) So I thought I would show you my collection and give you a little review aswell:)

Enjoy!



So this is my Mac collection. I know compared to other people it might not look like a lot, but as it is an expensive brand obviously I can't afford to have every single Mac product! The blush is in Mocha, and the foundation is in NC15. The 3 lipsticks I have are Creme cup, Pink pearl pop and Hot Gossip.

I went into the Mac shop in Covent Garden and I asked the lady there to help me find a perfect foundation match for my skin. She was really helpful and told me the Mac Pro Longwear foundation was amazing so I got it in the shade NC15. This shade is perfect for my skin and blends into my skin so easily.  It was £24 which is very pricey so I'm going to use as little as I can as I don't want to waste any. I was looking for a long lasting foundation that could stay out all day. I find that this is a very matte foundation and so gives a very flawless finish to the skin which is very helpful to cover blemishes and breakouts. The texture is smooth and quite light so it doesn't feel cakey on your skin. I love, love, love this foundation and would totally recommend it. 

I got a Mac blusher in Mocha. It's creates a beautiful flush to the cheeks and looks so natural. This is my everyday, go- to blush. It's perfect! Mac describe it as a soft plum pink, it's a perfect blush for autumn as it's not too bright and out there. I adore the packaging that Mac use for their blushes, I think it's so sleek and sophisticated, and very travel friendly and it's not easily broken. This blush is very easily blendable and is buildable. It's a matte shade which means it has no shimmer in it. This blusher has amazing staying power and lasts such a long time!
These are my favourite Mac products, I have to say Mac do the best lipsticks ever!! I have them in Creme Cup, Hot gossip and Pink Pearl Pop.


                     Pink pearl pop- £15
  On the website this lipstick is described as a frosted mid- tonal pink. It's a lovely girly pink and is the perfect summer lipstick. I have been wearing it with Creme cup over the top which tones down the pink and makes it a more suitable autumn shade. It has a gorgeous shiny balm like finish, it is also a Cremesheen lipstick. This means it's really moisturising and comfortable on the lips. The lipstick is also amazing at helping to brighten the skin tone. 
 
 
  Hot Gossip- £15
Hot gossip has a Cremesheen finish, it's a pinky plum colour with a soft glossy sheen. The texture is very smooth and isn't overly creamy! The lipstick has a medium pigmentation but you might not get a full opaque coverage. This lipstick goes with everyday make up look and is very natural looking. I love this lipstick and wear it everyday!

(I'm so sorry I don't have an individual photo of Creme cup ) 

Creme cup- £15
 This again is a Cremesheen lipstick (if you can't already tell, it's my favourite finish.) It's a very natural, light pink colour  with a blue undertone. It's has medium pigmentation and doesn't build too well. The lipstick goes best with peach blushes and dark eyes, I tend to wear it with a dark brown/ dusky eye in autumn. It does however unfortunately tend to settle into the fine lines in the lips so using a lip pencil underneath would work to make you're lips look more flawless. 
 
I'm sorry about the bad pictures and no swatches but until I get my camera this is the best I could do. 

I hope that this post has helped anyone who's looking to start or add to their Mac collection. 

Love Molly xo

Hello!

Finally, the day has come when I plucked up the courage to set up a blog! I hope that someone is going to read it and hopefully enjoy it?

I thought before we get started I should tell you a little about myself and what I hope to get out of this blog. Well, my name is Molly and I'm 16 years old. My birthday is the 26th of July 1998. I live in a small village in North Yorkshire and I LOVE it. I live with my mum, dad and my younger sister. I have 2 terriers called Jess and Arnie. I am OBSESSED with anything beauty/ fashion related and I'm addicted to YouTube and Instagram (you can follow me if you want, @moll.xo).

My fave make up brands are Mac, Benefit, Maybelline, L'Oreal and Bourjois. I have an addiction also to Lush bathbombs, who doesn't love them;). My favourite Youtubers are Zoella (obviously,duh) Tanya Burr, Lucy and Lydia, Gabby basically all the "British Youtubers" and I also love Pewdiepie.

 I love, love, love One Direction and 5 Seconds of Summer and I am also in love with Evan Peters from American Horror Story, which is my favourite TV program in the whole wide world.I also love to watch Made in Chelsea, Dance Moms and I'm a celebrity get me out of here! My favourite films are Dirty Dancing, The Fault in our Stars, all The Hunger games films, One Direction This is Us and Divergent.

I'm currently studying 4 A- levels at sixth form; Media Studies, Psychology, Religious Studies and English Lit.

My blog is going to consist of beauty, fashion and lifestyle blogs. For example there could be monthly favourites, OOTD'S (outfit of the day's, for those who don't speak blogger) and days out. For now I will be using my instagram photos on this blog, but for Christmas I'm hopefully going to be getting a camera so expect some better photos coming in the near furture;)

I HOPE YOU ENJOY!

Love Molly xo
