Highlighters are everywhere and even thou I don't own the amazing Champagne Pop or Soft & Gentle I still managed to grab a good variety of them that I love but... just wait for IMATS, something tells me I will come home with a few more...

From liquid to powder there's plenty of options, some more affordable than others, and for the most part differing in shade and intensity!

I managed to downsize to my favourites to 8, no judgments, I honestly love each one of these can't really skip any.

Usually powder is not a thing people talk much about, unless they suffer from severe oiliness. I have combination to oily skin and as far as I remember powder was one of the very first makeup items I used, it still remains one of the most important to me!
With various options within my collection I find myself always gravitating towards the same ones, so I must share the goods! 

Even thou Mac is a very popular brand among the beauty community, it never really appealed to me.

That lasted a couple of years and after my first try on their lipticks I stepped away! 

To my very first impression the lipstick was a total miss, on shade, being that my fault, but also on texture and longevity for the price.

A couple months ago I decided to give it another try and get the Paint Pot in Soft Ocre that everyone and their sisters rave about, I regret nothing, but still I'm not completely sold to the brand. 

My collection is growing as I'm trying new products here and there, mostly bought on duty free so I can excuse the price if I don't get along with my choice, so I decided to bring it to you an overall view of it!

This may not look promising but something may tell you it's worth a read. 

Somehow the other day I found myself debating whether use my Catrice Prime & Fine Eyeshadow Base or my MAC Paint Pot in Soft Ocre, this to say I gave up all the other bases by the time I picked the MAC one, for no reason!

In a way of testing both and see how they look against each other I did my makeup for the day but on one eye I applied Soft Ocre and on the other I used the Prime & Fine.

To my surprise the results were not the expected.

So, this happened, quite long ago to be fair! I decided to give MAC lipsticks another chance... why would I? Laura thought it was a good idea to recommend it to me! 

As if packaging was not enough to make me want this particular lipstick in my collection what really sold me was the shade, the formula (that I was so impressed with) and mostly the fact I didn't own anything like it in all aspects of it's uniqueness! 

This purple mauve pink, all kind of what I want in a lipstick shade, made its way home and since that day I've been struggling not to use it! It is that good... as I said a few times in the past I struggled with a Mac lipstick I bought and ever since didn't look forward to get any other as they're not cheap!
This 17£ gem was a treat, in a way, I was not sure if I would like it on myself but girl I did and the consistency is on point, the longevity is amazing and I personally think it brings life to my face! 

I'm in love with it and I sure think it's worth a try if you're a fan of these kind of shades! I find it goes well with almost everything which makes me use it even more! 

The packaging was great influence at once but it was limited edition for the holidays, if you're lucky you can get it online! 

Overall this post came in a way to share how my opinion changed on MAC lipsticks, hopefully it inspires you to try something you didn't like at first sometime soon, maybe you'll enjoy it more than you think! 

Tell me all about your favourite MAC lipstick!

First official post of 2016 has to come with the most used in 2015 and in this case the products I sure recommend you to try this new year, if you haven't already!

I tried my best to pick one of each category but if I missed something don't mind me as it's quite hard to narrow down the favourites of the year to just 16 products!

For a makeup junkie most of the times I stick my madness to the drugstore reason 1) I just started working a few months ago prior to that the only money I had were from Birthday and Christmas gifts 2) luxury makeup is super expensive and I definitely need to keep money for other things in life.

Apart from all reasons I still manage to have a quite decent amount of high end makeup and that's why I'm about to share with you today.

 Good morning beauties of my world!!!

Is everything fine?! I hope so!!

As you can say for the title i discovered a nude combo that makes me wanna wear nude lips all the time.. 

I'm a girl of extremes! I like pale colours or dark colours and nude lips are my favorite to wear on daily basis!

As you can see it from my lips it doesn't wash me out and it suits my skin tone!

My excitment doesn't allow me to say much about the wonders of this lip combo, but you can see it yourself!

Any suggestions for another combos?! Let me know bellow!

Thanks for reading,
