Mac Studio Care Blend Pressed Powder

         If you haven't tried this powder, then I urge you to pick one up the next time you are at  MAC counter or in a MAC store as soon as. I can't recommend this powder enough for people with dry to combination skin, since the formula leaves the skin with a gorgeous healthy glow appearance,as well as creating an incredible air brushed finished look, without looking powdery or chalky. This powder is a sheer-to medium coverage, perfect for setting foundation or even worn on a bare fresh face. What I love most about this powder is that it doesn't feel cakey or heavy on the skin, but feels light and silky. I find that this powder keeps skin shine free for a good 10 hours, which is ideal for someone that has a very busy schedule and doesn't have the time to top up on make-up. 

My favourite winter lipstick

If I had to pick my most worn and favourite lipstick of the winter season, I'd normally say 'Plumful' by  MAC, however this year there is a new winner. 'Plum Dandy'- obviously due to both lipstick names, you can probably tell that I'm a big fan of 'Plum'. I believe that there is nothing more sophisticated and Autumn/wintery than a good berry or plum shade. They are totally wearable colours and suit almost everyone! Although 'Plum Dandy' is still somewhat a plummy colour, it is not the 'typical' plum lipstick. It is a very muted pale plum (if that is even possible), with gorgeous hints of lilac and pink creating the most glowing frosty sheen on the lips. It is a totally flattering colour, and as it is a muted plum shade, it is perfect as an every day stain of colour too. This particular MAC lipstick is a frost formula, which explains the 'frosty sheen'. I'd totally recommend swatching this lipstick when you next pop in to a MAC store.
