I've taken quite a long break from the blog, but what better way to start writing again than a few lipstick posts. I've talked about two of these lipsticks in my last post, 'The Perfect Pillowtalk Dupe'. Even though I love lipstick and I buy a lot of it, I only tend to wear it on the odd occasion, usually because I can't be bothered with the upkeep - lazy, I know! Either that or when I do a full face of makeup, lipstick can look a little bit much with everything else so I just opt for some lipbalm.
The new Charlotte Tilbury lipstick launches have only been out a few weeks and as soon as I saw them I fell for the hype. I've never tried 'Pillowtalk' lip liner but I'm aware of its cult following, so I decided to pick up the lipstick. Granted, these are definitely not the cheapest lipsticks on the market but when it comes to Charlotte Tilbury you can't really go wrong.
These few MAC products are my must-haves that I just can't live without. I've used most of these for months, even years and they're ultimate staples in my makeup routine. There's a good mix of products for your base, eyes, lips and even a couple of my favourite brushes - I could happily use only MAC for my complete routine. So let's start with the base...
I've recently made a few spontaneous trips to MAC and I've picked up a few random bits and bobs. I don't usually have a plan when I go into MAC, I usually just have the urge to pick up some new makeup bits and I know I can rely on MAC not to disappoint. MAC is a great middle-of-the-road makeup brand, its not too expensive but its definitely not your drugstore budget option. I love how much is on offer, there are over 100 shades of eyeshadow and lipstick and tons of different finishes - there's something to suit everyone!
Charlotte Tilbury's Hot Lips have been so eagerly anticipated I couldn't wait to get my hands on one of them. I knew immediately I wanted the Kim Kardashian shade, Kim K.W., a pale pink nude, but there's no denying that all these shades are absolutely stunning! I've also got my eye on Super Cindy, a taupe-nude shade inspired by Cindy Crawford as well as Liv It Up, a rosey-pink shade inspired by Liv Tyler.
