MAC "Media" Lipstick Review | ♥

Hello you person reading this. 

Let me start this post by apologizing for being absent for 500 years. I know, I know..We're all old and with beards by now. Gandalf style.

BUT I'm back! ..I think 

So lets go on with this review! 

MAC "Media" is a color that I would look at and not be attracted to, but ever since seeing it on someone's lips, I fell in love with it! So I walked into a MAC store and tried it on. ... and bought it. 

Now, "Media" has a satin finish and it isn't as long wearing as MAC's matte lipsticks, BUT because "Media is a deep color, it leaves a bit of a stain and it lasts on the lips for quite a few hours without re-applying. However, I feel that "Media" doesn't wear off evenly, when it does start to wear off, and that's when I re-apply ;) 

I shall leave you all with some pictures of the lipstick and swatches and a video review, if you want to see how I applied it :P 

See? The lipstick looks darker in the tube than what it does when applied.

No flash used

annnd here's my video! Enjoy and subscribe! :)

On a completely irrelevant note, The Jezabels just released their new single, "The End" ..and I think it's absolutely brilliant! If you know me, then you are probably aware of my undying love for that band! So here is their new song :) Enjoy!

Top Shop "Coy" Lipstick Review ♥

Hey everyone! 
I'm finally back for another review haha and it will be on Top Shop's infamous lipstick in "Coy".
Coy is a very bright coral color. I absolutely love it so much! ..I've actually been looking for the perfect light coral shade, but I never had any luck, so I decided to try Coy.  I'm not gonna lie..the Top Shop here in Canada is extremely pricey..but I had to get it either way haha...so bad I know..

SO..on to the actual review..
I LOVE the color...HATE the lipstick...
i absolutely HATE how it sits on my lips..it dries them up and I feel like the color shifts. It's not super full coverage...

BUT..because I LOOOVED the color so much, I had to find a way to make that lipstick work.. and THAT'S when I decided to use my Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in "Flying Cloud"...and MAN was it perfect!

I'm an official happy Top Shop shopper haha..

Here are some pictures of the lipstick on its own..

here it is swatched

anyway...I'm really really happy with this color! 

I hope that this review was somewhat helpful =)

Rimmel London: Kate Moss Lipsticks (no.08 & 09)

So I went to the drugstore today and couldn't help myself when I found the Kate Moss lipstick collection on sale!
I noticed that most of the shades were red; some were light red, bright red, deep red..and barely some nudes..and this really dark brownish color.

I picked my colors in #s 08 and 09.

08 is a brownish nude color and 09 is the most gorgeous red lipstick I've ever seen! Honestly..I love it soo damn much!

I find that the lipsticks glide on the lips pretty easy and smooth, as they're a bit creamy, but once they've been on for a few minutes, they start to look semi matte, which I LOOVE!..I personally prefer my red lipsticks to be matte, because I find that when red lipsticks are too creamy, they tend to smudge all over my face and ugh..who likes that right? ..The nude brownish color (08) was easily not one of my favorites..I mean..it looks nice and all..but because my skin is so fair, the color just looks a bit dark on me..and I expected it to be a lighter color =(

Also..these lipsticks stay on the lips pretty long..they definitely DO NOT stay on for 8 hours like they claim to..I mean..unless you go without eating for 8 hours then I guess they would stay on haha..
here are some pictures :P

(I absolutely love this red so much)
