MAC Wishlist

This has been a long over due post, but recently I've been getting into products for my lips - I know how that sounds but I've always been eye heavy so it's like a breath of fresh air to be focused on another aspect of my make up for a change. I will always love my basic pink, nude shades but I have been really experimenting with different shades of lipsticks and MAC has to be the ultimate queen of lip products, so I've made a wishlist of what shades I would like to get.

Now I haven't been blessed with having a MAC Counter near me, so I can't just go in, swatch and take the lipsticks home then and there. So I've taken to the internet along with millions of Google Image Searches to find out what colours I would use... After my latest MAC Google Image binge, I have made a list of the products I managed to narrowed it down to.

Lipsticks
Brave - light pink, nude
Candy Yum Yum - bright pink
Pink Nouveau - light bright pink
Rebel - plum
Ruby Woo - bright red
Russian Red - deep red
Twig - dark pink, nude
Viva Glam Miley - hot pink

Lip Pencils
Burgundy - deep red-ish purple
Dervish - light pink
Soar - dark pink
Spice - dark mauve
Stripdown - light nude
Subculture - light pink
Whirl - light mauve

Face
MAC Studio Fix Fluid - NW18
Pro Longwear Concealer - NC15

Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer vs Urban Decay Naked Skin Concealer

Lately my obsession with concealers has been out of control. Has anyone else tried the baking method? It really works!!! Anyway, I couldn't decide between getting the Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer or the Urban Decay Naked Skin Weightless Complete Coverage Concealer... What a mouth full. So in true Emma style I decided to buy both instead of choosing (this is why I'm poor most of the time).

I chose the shade Light 2 Vanilla from Nars and Light Neutral from Urban Decay as from Google Images I thought they were similar shades but obviously I was wrong as the Urban Decay concealer is a tad darker (Urban Decay is the top swatch and Nars is the bottom). As for shades, the Urban Decay one I picked matches me better than the Nars one, but that doesn't stop me using the Nars one all the same, sometimes you want to highlight your under eyes. 

Next off is texture, I think it is quite clear from the swatches that Nars has quite a dry, matte finish, where as Urban Decay looks wet when first applied. I personally don't like when a concealer goes on looking like a foundation, because I feel that the coverage is going to be awful, and I'm all about that coverage. Don't get me wrong, the Urban Decay concealer has good coverage... But... Nars. Wow. Why have I not tried this concealer sooner?

I'm sorry if this comparasion is coming off a bit biased as don't get me wrong, I do think the Urban Decay one is a good concealer, maybe for when you're having a lighter, more natural looking make up day. But if you want strong coverage then Nars is the one for you.

Overcoming Bloggers Block

I'm going to be totally honest with you guys, I have been feeling like I've been stuck in a bit of a blogging rut. It happens to the best of us, one day you sit down in front of your computer and the words just come flowing out naturally, then other days it is more of a struggle to keep yourself motivated. Don't worry if you've found yourself with bloggers block, it's natural, and it most definitely doesn't mean your blog isn't going anywhere. Here are a few things I recommend that helped me get back on track.

Take a break. I took a week off blogging as every time I tried to write something it felt horrible and forced which clearly reflected in my writing. That is not the type of content you guys want to be reading, quality over quantity always. But after taking that blog-free week off, I feel ready to be firing out plenty of posts for you all.

Read other blogs. Obviously never copy anyone else's content, but I find other beauty bloggers so inspiring as beauty is something we all have in common and finding a new product to get excited about is the best feeling a blogger can get.

Stop comparing yourself to other bloggers. I do this more than I care to admit. I will always be proud of what a fellow beauty blogger achieves as we're all a part of the same internet family. Yes there are some bloggers who post daily, bloggers whose photos are always flawless, bloggers who are drop dead gorgeous, bloggers who use social media better... The list could go on, but it is okay that they're not me. I blog at my own pace, my photos will gradually get better.

Talk to your friends. One of my closest friends works at a Benefit counter, and wow do we talk about make up, A LOT. But just talking about it person to person, gets me all excited and passionate about make up all over again instead of just looking at my laptop screen.

Blogpost Ideas Posts. (link) Yes most of these lists include those cliché posts that everybody, ever, has done, but they really can help you get back on the right track, I mean who doesn't love a good favourites/what's in my bag post? We're all nosey at heart.

Crown Brushes Purple HD Set | Review

If you know me, then you'll most definitely know that my all time favourite colour is lilac (hence my blog layout), so when Crown Brush kindly sent me their Purple HD Brushes Set to review I was so excited to get using them right away, but being a good blogger I made sure that I actually took photos first...

One of the first things I noticed (other than the colour) before I started using the brushes was just how soft the bristles were, I absolutely love that new untouched brush feel, it almost makes me not want to use them... Almost. Also these brushes have purple ends which just makes me adore them even more and they definitely add a bit of colour to my brush collection!

Pro Powder Brush - This is just your standard powder brush, because of the super soft bristles it leaves you with a nice even finish when setting your make up.

Tapered Blush Brush - I've been a bit of a contouring freak lately so I have fallen in love with this and the Deluxe Contour Brush together. As this brush is tapered it is so much easier to get blushes/bronzers/highlighters to go exactly where you want them to go.

Deluxe Contour Brush - This brush great for defining certain areas in small quantities, for example I like to use a darker powder in certain areas of my face like the sides of my nose and the hollows of my cheeks, giving them the illusion of a shadow therefore making them look more defined, then a lighter bronzer using the Tapered Brush in surrounding areas to rid any harsh lines. 

Chisel Shadow Brush - As the bristles are quite short they have become quite stiff, making this brush perfect for applying cream eye shadows all over your lid.

Crease Blender Brush - This brush is similarly shaped to most other brushes, but I'm not to fond of this brush. I find it is too soft, which tends to make applying powder eyeshadow difficult. I think this is much better for blending or using a light shade on your brow bone.

Detail Liner Brush - I'll be totally honest, this is the one brush in the set I will 100% never use. I prefer using angled brushes to apply my eye liner with as it tends to look sloppy other wise.

Overall I definitely love this brush set, from the quality, the colour, everything! The only thing I would change is I would include a foundation brush so it could become a brush set that has everything needed for creating the perfect base.

Benefit License To Blot | Review

Don't you just love a new Benefit release? They don't release too often that you lose track of what they've released, but often enough so that you don't get bored of them. I really don't think I could ever be bored of Benefit! A lot of Benefit's releases for me are amazing and have been some of the most used make up in my collection, but a lot of the time I've been a little sceptical at first until I've tried it. License to Blot is another one of those products that I'm feeling sceptical about as there is literally no other product on the market like it...

But the fact there's no other product on the market like it, I was drawn in. Of course there are blotting papers on the market, but I tend to stick to the old fashioned way of powdering my nose. But this is a stick, that you can apply before and after make up application... What!? I know you can also use the Porefessional primer before and after make up too but this is for blotting.

So I decided apply it before doing my make up on a day where I knew I would have a full face all day long. I focused on my most oily parts of my face which for me is just my nose and the space around it (I have combination skin) and you could see right away that it took away the shine, it mattified the look of my skin and definitely did what it said on the tin. YAY! It's not just a gimmicky product! But of course I still had to test it on the top of my make up.

After my shift at work I got home and I could see that the oily areas of my face has started to shine so no better time than to pull out my License to Blot, right?! So I did the same as I had done in the morning and applied it to my nose, but in a slight more gentle fashion so I didn't disturb my make up. Again it did the job, those areas did indeed mattify my problem areas, therefore reducing shine.

BUT, (sorry there is a but here) when I applied it on top of my make up it had removed some of the foundation from my face and gotten the License to Blot stick a bit... Mucky. I weren't too pleased with that honestly...

Overall I do think this is an amazing product, I love it underneath my make up as I feel it does hold off the shine from coming through quite as quickly as it would've done. But as in terms of blotting, I think I'm going to stick to my good old Rimmel Stay Matte Powder!
