Just A Teeny Update :)

Sooo... I'm going on holiday tomorrow!? You can probably tell that I'm really excited about it :) I'm going to be in Houston for the next two weeks so I won't be able to write any more posts during that time - just in case some of you start wondering why I've dropped off the face of the planet! I'm staying with my cousins who are equally as obsessed with make up as I am so hopefully I'll come back with some American drugstore goodies to share :)

MAC // Rebel Lipstick Review

MAC | Rebel | £15.00 | Buy Here

Rebel is my absolute favourite lipstick ever, I literally can't go a few days without wearing it. I first saw this colour on Sammi from Beauty Crush and it was love at first sight ;) Normally I wouldn't be able to bring myself to spend £14 on a lipstick, but once I'd tried it on I knew I wouldn't be able to leave the store without it.. and so my MAC lipstick collection had begun!

It's a gorgeous deep pinky plum colour which goes on quite dark but fades to give a beautiful bright berry pink. It's so pigmented that it lasts on your lips for ages and it only take one swipe for me to get opaque colour, even though my lips are quite pigmented. I usually line my lips with a Natural Collection lip liner in Mulberry because it helps me to define the edges of my lips, which is pretty hard to do with the bullet unless you have a super steady hand! Since it's Satin finish it applies really smoothly and has a slight shimmer to it. It also smells like vanilla - this lipstick really can do no wrong!?

I tried to capture the colour as accurately as I could but honestly the swatches don't do Rebel much justice :(

SLEEK MAKEUP WISHLIST // Face, Lips and Eyes

I think it's about time for another wish list! This time the spotlight's on Sleek Makeup which is one of my favourite brands, since their makeup is both affordable and great quality. I only own a couple of palettes from them and their Face Form Kit [review here] at the moment but I've had my eye on a few pieces for a while now.. if only my local Superdrug would actually start ordering more stock in! :(

Anyways, here are my top picks from their online store :) What I love most about their website is the fact that for most products they do swatches on fair, medium and dark skin which is unbelievably useful - it makes shopping online so much easier!

The Sunset eyeshadow palette and Pout Paints are definitely at the top of my list right now, especially after seeing so many lucky people receive them in their Glossyboxes! Sorry I went a bit blusher mad, they look really bright in the picture above but I promise you the swatches on their website were gorgeous :)

ART // Francisco Lachowski Drawing

So I thought I'd finally throw an art post onto my blog since I haven't done one yet. Drawing is one of my biggest passions and I love drawing people in particular.. as you'll probably soon come to see! I thought it would be quite nice to share some of my art with the internet, instead of them being hidden away in sketch books collecting dust under my bed ;) I'll admit that I haven't done very much art at all this year, so this should hopefully inspire me to start sketching again before I start university!

I'll kick it off with a drawing of one of my favourite male models - Francisco Lachowski [look him up if you want.. but be warned your ovaries may explode!]

Done on normal printer paper using a soft carbon pencil and pure graphite stick :)

Let me know what you think of it.. also is there anything you used to love that you want to take up again? :)
