MY NEW MAKEUP OBSESSION: MAC CRANBERRY

So one of my Christmas presents was this glorious eye shadow, which I am now obsessed with! It's so beautiful, it's from MAC and it's called Cranberry (buy from here). It's a really lovely berry shade, but has more of a red tone than I thought when I put it on my lids, but it's not red, so I would say a mixture of the two (terrible description, apologies). It's actually really nice to wear some colour on my eyes, and even though it is a bold colour on my eyes I have worn it with every shade of lipstick from nude to a bright red, so it really doesn't change any other makeup I would wear. 

I bought a new makeup brush which felt like it cost the earth (can buy from here) which is a MAC 224 blending brush. Even though it was ridiculously expensive (like £24 or something?!?!), I genuinely think it was worth it! This brush is all I use to apply this makeup, it puts the shadow onto my lids well, and obviously blends well too. 

Have you got any recommendations for my to try new eyeshadow colours? 

Lots of love,

THE KYLIE JENNER LIP

Lip Liner - Soar

Lipstick - Honeylove

Everyone is obsessed with Kylie Jenner ATM, and I am most definitely one of the obsessed!  There have been lots of tutorials about using different lip colours to get you the Kylie Jenner inspired lip, but I have taken note from pixiwoo (ultimate makeup artists) and bought these two products; I got these recommendations from the tutorial linked here. 

The lip pencil is a dark nude, and the lipstick a lighter nude. I apply the lip pencil all over my lip, then the lipstick on top, but leaving a clearer outline of the lip pencil on show. I think the combination of the lip pencil underneath the lipstick makes it stay on sooooo well! The other night I went out for dinner, then drinks and it stayed on close to perfect!! 

The picture doesn't really do the lip justice. You know when you take loads of selfies trying to show your lipstick, and none work? Well this was the best out of the bunch, the serious ones were just NOT happening! But I am non-stop wearing this lip currently so better pictures in upcoming posts will show it better!! 

I'd love to here any recommendations on getting the Kylie Jenner lip?!
