MAC's Retro Matte Lipstick - RUNWAY HIT Review & Swatches

MAC describes "Runway Hit" lipstick as "light nude matte", it's a light-medium coral shade with a tiny hint of pink, such a beautiful shade that will suit most skin tones.

This lipstick is from the Retro Matte range, so you know it's going to be very unforgiving on dry lips. It's not quite opaque as the other lipsticks from the retro matte range and unfortunately doesn't apply evenly across the lips and accentuates every fine line.

I was so in love with the colour from the moment I swatched it at the MAC counter that I had to buy it. After trying it a few times I can say I am honestly disappointed in this lipstick but love the colour too much to return it so I'm going to try and figure out a way to make it work.

It lasted on me for 2-3 hours, as it faded it began to look patchy.

It retails for $36AUD, and would I repurchase it? probably not!

MAC Velvet Teddy review and swatch

My obsession with MAC lipsticks continue and  i'm going to talk about my most recent purchase Velvet Teddy.

This one is a cult favourite and I had to find out for myself what the hype was all about, so of course I jumped on the bandwagon. This is one of the shades that girls all around the world are going gaga for thanks to Kylie Jenner.

MAC Velvet Teddy is described as a "deep tone beige" though it looks quite brown in the bullet. It is a matte formula so i expected it to be very drying on my lips but to my surprise it was pretty creamy and stayed put for over 6 hours (that could also be due to the fact that I moisturised my lips well before applying)































Before I went ahead and bought this lipstick I trolled through social media, and looking through pictures I noticed that it looked very different on different people and came to the realisation that the more pigmented the lips were the browner it looked, mine aren't as pigmented so it applies as a pinky beige.

It's such a beautiful nude lipstick that can be worn with a bold or neutral eye look, I love pairing it with my favourite MAC blush Melba.

This is by far one of my favourite nudes and I am glad I bought it as I see myself reaching for it almost everyday.

MAC Lipsticks retail for $36AUD.

Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara

I know I'm a little late to jump on the bandwagon, but better late than never right?

This mascara has seriously given life to my eyelashes, they've never looked better.



Let's talk about the wand, OMG!! It literally breathes life into the eyelashes. The hourglass shape helps spread the product evenly on to each individual lash, making them look lengthened and defined. The formula takes a bit of getting used to, it tends to clump if used with a heavy hand, i've found that giving your eyelashes a good wiggle outwards works like magic! The product takes a bit of time to set but when it does, it won't budge. Even though it's a waterproof mascara I have found it easy to remove at the end of the day.








This retails for $29AUD.
