Oranges

Red is eternal, but orange is so fresh and just in time for summer! One shade, two textures. THE BODY SHOP Colour Crush #110 M.A.C Wash & Dry Lipgloss Laundry List A great shade from a great range of lipsticks. It gives colour to the lips without making them too bright. Hydrating, does not smuge and lasts hours, even if you eat and drink. If the first was a great choice for work, this shade is perfect for a night out. With a more intense colour, lasts hours, doesn't dry the lips and smells so good!! (All of M.A.C 's lipglosses and lipsticks smell great). Are you embracing this shade and wearing it this summer? XOXO, M

M.A.C x Toledo

The design is beautiful and reminds me a little of Picasso's works. Then I saw the products and their shades. I remeber seeing the products online and the blushes were the first thing to awe me. Ombre? Really? This is going to be so cool, now I just have to get a new brush and start wearing it!! Being a girl with a very light skin tone, I have always liked makeup with colour. As far as lipsticks go, I'm all for bold colours. A little mascara, a little blush, get your lipstick and you're ready to go! This orange-red matte is gorgeous, just in time for spring and I'm just waiting for a special occ...

Universal

Being an enthusiast of all things from The Body Shop, I'm always looking forward for new products and ranges. Recently, the brand launched their Smoky Poppy line, with Turkish poppies and just in time for Valentine's day. I have featured the body lotion on this month's wishlist, but along with the line came another product. These Velvet Sticks are suitable for lips and cheeks. The colours look vivid here, but I tested them in the store and was a little disappointed. The coral one was also on my wishlist, but I found the colour to be very light on the lips.  So what did I bring? See the black one? "Black lipstick and black blush?" Naah!! The packaging is gorgeous, but I'm a sucker for black and pink. Also the poppy flower print blends in very well with the logo! Here's what's interesting: this stick is called "universal" because it works for everyone. But not everyone will get the same shade! The colour changes according to your skin's pH ...
