Review | Mac Hue

Mac-hue-lipstick
While i was in duty free recently i was lucky enough to pop into Mac at 4am, its never too early for shopping! I have just finished my Shy girl lipstick which was such a nice peachy nude colour, however i wanted to try a new nude colour and had seen lots of posts about Hue which is described as a nude colour with hints of pink. I personally think £15 is extortionate for a lipstick but at £12.50 i couldn't go wrong.
I have only ever had lipsticks from Macs cremesheen and matte collection so i was interested to see what their glaze finish was like. Firstly, the colour is beautiful when applied, it is a nude colour but with the softest hint of pale pink which stands out more than the Mac shy girl, I also prefer the pink hint to it. 


The glaze finish is described as having a very sheer colour and a glossy finish, well it is very moisturising and creamy to apply but I feel it doesn't provide as much moisture as the crème sheen finishes do. As for the colour pay off I felt you needed to build the colour up a fair bit but when its applied I thought that the staying power of this lipstick was very good although the gloss does tend to fade after a couple of hours, which is expected from glaze finish lipsticks but its great for just that touch of colour. Overall, I am in love with the colour and I am so glad I picked it out!


For me Mac really can do no wrong with lipsticks and if I had the money I would try every colour there is! If you're looking for a nude colour with an edge to it then this is your colour!
What do you think of this colour? What Mac lipsticks are your favourite?

21st Birthday Wishlist


Eeek it's my 21st is at the end of this month,i'm sooo excited but i literally had no idea what i wanted. So compiling a wishlist helped and i have picked out a few things that have really caught my eye so if my family or boyfriend are reading this... take note! 

I got my first tangle teezer on my last birthday and its been my best mate ever since,i wonder how i ever tamed my hair before this. They have now released the aqua splash TT which is a lot bigger and is a lot more appropriate for my long hair than the travel size one i have,it is also specifically made for use on wet hair, i do a lot of swim training so this is perfect for me and naturally i want the pink one.

I have never used a brush for my foundation before. From hearing lots of talk about this face brush in the beauty community i think its time to be converted from using my fingers. Along the beauty side of things I've also ran out of my favourite mac nude lipstick - shy girl ,so i quite fancy trying a new one out and Hue looks gorgeous on the swatches i have seen.

Cut out boots are definitely on my list for the upcoming A/W trends. Black ones seem to be everywhere so i fancy being a bit different and i found these white/black ones from Bank they are only £32,so cheaper than the Topshop ones and they look like a dream! The hologram bag i have just fallen in love with,its from New look and its not overly priced,i need this clutch desperately!

Lastly i need a new camera for blogging! I have been using the exact same one this summer as the one above but its my Mums, and the pictures come out so well considering its not a DSLR. I love the quality of pictures on those type of cameras but its too big for me and i would never take it on holiday as they are such a nuisance to carry. This digital camera is the next best thing,its small and at 16.1 mp its pretty good!

I hope you liked my wishlist what do you think of my picks? Do you have any of these?
