Review: MAC "Syrup" lipstick


  As I mentioned in my last post, I just bought my first MAC lipstick! I was going for something pretty natural looking and I chose between "Syrup" and "Blankety". After getting to try Syrup on, it was my pick!




  I love the MAC packaging. It feels very sleek and professional.

  This colour is a darker pink perfect for autumn. It is red-ish too and has a hint of purple. 
  It's quite similar to my original lip tone, so for me it just enhances the colour more and makes it more prominent.
  It's a lustre finish and it goes on really smoothly almost like a lipbalm. It feels really nice and not at all dry on the lips.

  The lasting time isn't super long, but it's not horribly short neither.


  My opinion:

  I really like this lipstick and I feel like it'll be my go-to daily wear. It has a beautiful colour, it goes on smoothly and makes my lips feels soft. 
  The negative is that it is a bit see-through and that it doesn't stay on for too long, although neither of these really dragged down my opinion on the product.

  My score: 4.5 / 5

Mini Haul!


Hello Sweet-Tarts and Cutie-Pies! It's so nice to be back! I couldn't stand not having my own design header, it just didn't feel as personal nor fun. So I have now, even though it's not very good or complicated, made my first header for this blog! Hope you can stand it ;)

  Yesterday, my mom and I went shopping! I went to Lush for the first time in my life and bought my first MAC lipstick ever! (I do own the MAC Pro Longwear Concealer, so it's my second MAC product ever ;) )

  I also got some super cute clothes, but I won't show them right now.


This will just be my first impression on these products and I'll make sure to do further reviews on them once I've actually used them haha!


  First out is Bath Bomb "Shoot For The Stars" by Lush! The girl in the store told me it would make the bath go night sky-coloured with silver sparkles!
  It smells really lovely and STRONG though not the type of strong that gives you headache, but let's just say you could smell it from outside of the bag.




Next is this lipstick in "Syrup" by MAC. It's a really gorgeous autumn-colour that will actually work as a pretty natural shade for me since it's actually really close to my natural lip color. 


Like I said, reviews to come later on!


Kisses and love with whipped cream on top! <3

Review: Maybelline "Hot Plum"

I am a lip-makeup fanatic and since I hadn't gotten a new lipstick in a while I decided to get this gorgeous shade!
  It's Maybelline's Hot Plum.


  Now, I picked this shade because I have been longing for a slightly purple toned lipcolour for quite some time.
  Honestly I was a bit dissapointed by the "pinkness" of this shade, since it didn't really look plummy. 

  It's a darker hot pink and you might sense a little bit of plum in the shimmers.

  But, even if it isn't my perfect plum, it's still gorgeous!
  It's VERY pigmented too and the colour fits me quite nicely. 

  It lasts for a long time and even when the actual lipstick is gone, you can still see the colour on your lips if that makes any sense. 

  This is not one of those hydrating lipsticks and I actually find it a bit drying. It goes on a bit rough and can look slightly cakey.
 But not to worry! Just put on some lipbalm or lipgloss and you'll be fine!

  Like I said, this is a stunning colour and I think I would have loved it more if I hadn't expected the shade to be more purple.  

  I'd give this a 3.5 / 5 ! I would give this a higher score but though the colour is beautiful, it wasn't what I was looking for. 


    Kisses and love with whipped cream on top! <3
