MAC - Russian Red (Matte)

Hey! I'm back with a quick review of my FAVORITE lipstick.  I'm sure a lot of people will know what it just by the pictures, it's the infamous Russian Red Matte finish lipstick by MAC. I am a sucker for matte lipsticks in my opinion they look better than any other finish on the market,

The above swatch was one swipe, MAC is known for their well pigmented products. Yes it's a matte and that means it's trying, now I have an addiction to Blistex Medex balm so I have no problem in the dry lip department but if you do, be warned before wearing this it would be a good idea to scrub and put a balm underneath. 

Russian Red lasts for hours on me, just about a full 8 hour work day, I generally re apply a couple hours before the end of the day as it will fade within the middle of your lips if you are drinking or eating a lot. I give this lipstick a 10/10 but I'm a lover of reds and mattes!

MAC Lip liner in Brick

When it comes to lip products I am a MAC slave, guilty as charged! They are a tad pricey however but, I find MAC to be on the cheaper end of the higher end makeup. I use lip liners for a number of reasons and I also like just wearing a solid lip color using a liner which if I’m not using this under my Russian Red lippie is what I’ve done.  Helps to keep your lipstick on longer and prevent feathering if wearing underneath. On it’s own it makes a wonderful dark red shade, I LOVE this on its own the color pay off is incredible as with every MAC lip product I’ve experienced but on it’s own it does feather and after a few hours I was left with the outline instead of the solid color but nothing a reapplication can’t fix. Brick is an extremely versatile liner and can be used with a variety of red shades. If you love reds this is your perfect lip liner.

Sephora Pole Dance

 

Hello everyone! today I’d like to review yet another Sephora polish, it is from the same kit as the other three or two I’ve reviewed (there are ten polishes in the kit) This is one is a bright red and is named “Pole Dance”

I feel the polish is true to the color in the bottle and it has an amazing color payoff. I only used two coats to achieve this. Excuse my out of focus thumb, haha. It has chipped already but only on one nail. For the price of the whole kit which was $33 I highly recommend this. I’ve only tried about four out of the ten and so far I’ve only been disappointed with one which happens to be sugar coated which is the first polish in the above photo. All in all, I’m very impressed with Pole Dance!

Dandruff 911

Hey everyone!

I have been having HORRID problems with my scalp recently and I will not be posting photos as I don't feel comfortable, but it's flaking beyond belief and its sore. I scratch it in my sleep and as a cause of this tiny red abrasions have appeared and I have no idea what kind of products would help this as I'm not sure what the cause of it is. I've always had a dry scalp but its only getting worse. If ANYONE has products they think could at all help please leave them below. Thank you so much everyone, I appreciate the help more than you know!

Winter and Dry Skin

 

Hello everyone! My skin is dry naturally and gets about a thousand times more dry during the winter season. I've never for the life of me been able to find any body cream, lotion butter or any moisturizing product to keep the dryness at bay. It's horrible and really unpleasant for me. Recently I hit up Bath and Body Works and picked up two of their holiday creams. The Winter Candy Apple and Vanilla Bean. I'll be honest I mostly bought these for the smells, they smell LOVELY. Do any of you have dry skin and find it difficult to find products to quench your skins thirst?
