Nasty Gal lipstick by MAC

Hello friends,

In extreme style I'm blogging fashionably late.

I have managed to make it though another semester of my high active and intense fashion degree. Earlier this past winter (crunch time at Uni) I ended up catching a bug & missed quite a bit of school and it felt like running a marathon trying to catch up to all the work i'd missed. Good news is that i'm almost 100% and I've finally caught up on the things that I had missed and finished this semester!

It was also my birthday this past week so I treated myself to the three Nasty Gal Mac Lipsticks. Just about screeched when I got the mail. Thought I would do a little review because doesn't the world wide web need another?

Stunner 

The bright, red, is basically like Ruby Woo (the greatest red ever) and because I was running quite low on Ruby Woo I decided to put this in my basket. It’s stunning and basically the same, and so perfect for Christmas.

Runner

The perfect dark red. (Similar to Diva) 

Gunner

This is the showstopper, the perfect purple, I tried searching for a dark purple lipstick in the summer, I didn't want to buy a color that looks like black because that's a little too Gothic for my liking. In the summer I ended up buying the Sephora cream lip stain in 07 and although I love it, it has a little metallic shimmer to it. Gunner is the perfect dark purple, it doesn't look black and it's not pinky what-so-ever. If I only had to buy one out of this collection, this would be it!

Sophia Amoruso is such a power house

Did you purchase any of the collection? What do you like the best?

Okay, time to schedule some posts this week and catch up on all the blogging i've missed

Eyebrow Game #strong

Urban Decay Naked Basics : Faint
Urban Decay Naked : Buck
Watts up by Benefit
Angled Brush by elf
Lip brush & eyebrow comb (walmart?)

I usually begin with taking a wet brush (the "lipliner" one with the orange tip) and take the color Faint from the UD Basics to draw an outline of my brow where its needed. Usually this is just the arch. Then I use the elf small angled brush with a mixture of Faint and Buck from the UD Naked 1 and fill in my brows. I comb it all through and Voilà!

I used to use a Maybelline eyebrow pencil to do my brows but for the past 2 or so years I've been using shadows because it looks more soft and natural. I do however want to try the Hourglass waxy/pencil thing. It looks incredible. 

How do you like to do your brows?

Matte MAC Lipsticks

There are many loves of my life. Matte MAC lipsticks happen to be one of them. I am seriously gaga over this formula by MAC and I can guarantee you that my matte lipstick collection will be forever growing

The three that I own are Ruby Woo, a blue toned bright red, So Chaud, a medium colored orange- it's not too neon and it’s not too dark either, and Chilli, a brick brown-red which is my daily lipstick that I’ll wear to uni or work. All three of these lipsticks are insanely pigmented and the staying power on them is remarkable. I would say that last 5 hours without having to reapply. And with a lip liner the lasting power would only increase.

The next matte lipstick I want to purchase is Candy Yum Yum, it’s a hot pink and I think it would be amazing for the summer time!

What is your favorite finish of lipstick? Do you have any matte colors for me to try?

MAC Satin Lipstick, Rebel

Okay, so my most recent Mac purchase was this gorgeous purple-pink lipstick called Rebel. It is a Satin lipstick which means it is a semi-matte color. It looks VERY intense in the tube, but I assure you it’s not that crazy of a color. I backed to Mac a few lip glossed that I have owned for ages, a lipstick and a blush container. After watching beauty gurus such as Tanya Burr and Jen Im mention and rock this amazing color, I knew it was one that I had to get! With a dark red/purple lip liner you can make the color very intense and make it looking like how it does in the tube. With a nude lip liner, or no lip liner at all this color appears on my lips are a berry purple-pink. Kind of like the inside color of a blackberry! It’s more daring and bold but a color that is not difficult to wear at all! Though it is a better suited for Fall/Winter, I will for sure be wearing in the summer, like the rebel I am ;)
