MAC Vegas Volt Lipstick Product Review

Feeling like I need to inject more colour into my makeup pallet I decided to try out Vegas Volt

Described by MAC as:

"Full power coral (Amplified Creme)"

In the tube I like this orange-coral shade with rich, intense colour however I don’t think it does much for my complexion.

However I do find the lipstick very moisturising and requires only a couple applications for full coverage.

I would recommend a lip pencil to make sure the lines are sharp and neat. 

What do you guys think does it suite me?

Have you tried this shade?

How did you find it?

MAC Viva Glam V Lipstic Review

Another MAC gem I forgot about ...................... I bought Viva Glam V to wear on my birthday and got a 

Viva Glam V Lipstick

little scare when the sales staff in MAC Covent garden rang a bell 
and then everybody cheered!

Described on the MAC website as:

In March 2004, Viva Glam V makes its debut, a pure neutral pink with a delicious Lustre finish! Every cent of the selling price of VIVA GLAM Lipstick and Lipglass is donated to the M·A·C AIDS Fund to support men, women, and children living with HIV and AIDS.

Without flash

with black background 

with flash  
Viva Glam V is a lovely nude colour with a subtle hint of gold glitter which is lovely for every day or night time if you were to go with a dramatic eye and didn’t what to do too much with the lips.

Swatch on my hand 

It goes on well and left my lips feeling moisturized without feeling sticky and didn’t require too many applications.

Viva Glam V is available for purchase at MAC Cosmetics

Its also nice to know that my makeup obsession is helping a good cause

What’s your fave Viva Glam shade?

How I Clean My Makeup Brushes

How I Clean my makeup brushes

This has to be one of the worst chores ever but I can’t put it off because dirty brushes will  transfer old makeup, germs, and bacteria each time you use them. Increasing the risk of break outs.

I used to clean my brushes once a week until I came across this little beauty when I visited the IMATS last summer

 

BeautySoClean Conditioning Brush Cleanser

BeautySoClean Conditioning Brush Cleanser is a super-efficient yet gentle makeup brush cleanser that quickly dissolves all makeup residue while leaving your brushes fresh, clean and soft. The perfect blend of alcohol and emollients ensures your brushes will feel soft and dry within seconds. 

Every day after I apply my make-up I simply spray my brushes with BeautySoClean Conditioning Brush Cleanser and Voila I’m good to go!

I still give my brushes a wash to be on the safe side but I now do it every two weeks.

to make sure they are cleaned thoroughly I spray the brushes with BeautySoClean Conditioning Brush Cleanser then leave them for 5 minutes

I wet the brushes and add a drop CLEAN ON ME by Soap and Glory

(I like CLEAN ON ME by Soap and Glory because I like the way it makes my brushes smell and I like that is a push down dispenser)

And rub gently into the bristles, until the lather starts to foam

Rinse and repeat until the lather is completely white being careful to avoid distorting the shape of the brush or not to get shampoo in the ferrule, or the metal part that holds the bristles and the handle together

Give a final rinse and then blot the brushes dry on a towel

Lay the brushes flat on a towel overnight.

  

BeautySoClean costs £11.00 and can be purchased from Feelunique

CLEAN ON ME costs £6.00 and can be purchased from  Soap and Glory

How do you clean your make-up brushes and how often?
