M.A.C Ellie Goulding "Without your Love" Lipstick Review+Swatches

Hello Everyone,

Today I'm reviewing this beautiful nude pink lipstick in shade "Without Your Love" from M.A.C Ellie Goulding collection . I'm absolutely in love with its packaging. This collection came up with two eyeshadow palettes, 2 lipsticks, lipgloss, lip balm and last but not the least a duo of bronzer and blush. All the shades are wearable for daily routine and great to get a glamorous goddess look as well.

And from their collection I only got this lipstick in shade "Without Your Love"This lipstick shape looks like their regular bullet but its shiny and that triangle with "EG" makes it beautiful and different.

My Experience:
I got this lipstick in shade "Without your love" Which is a pinkish nude color and looks lovely on almost every skin tone.
Usually I buy matte lipsticks from M.A.C, but this is the first time when I end up buying a lipstick which is a sheer one.
It has a sheer formula so for that you will need some extra swipes to get the perfect color payoff. It glides on my lips smoothly and keep my lips hydrated for couple of hours which is great.
It looks gorgeous with a dark eye makeup & last for 3 hours because of its sheer texture.
Its a limited edition lipstick, and that's why the price is lil bit higher than their regular one. If you are a fan of nude lipsticks which does not wash you out then go and grab this one for yourself.

Application:
 You can apply it directly from your tube or with the help of a lip brush.

Swatches:


Thumbs Up:
  • Beautiful shade
  • Looks good on almost every skin tone
  • Chic packaging
  • Keeps lips hydrated
  • Glides on smoothly

Thumbs Down:
  • Does not last longer on lips
  • Limited Edition

M.A.C Magic of the Night Skinfinish In "Oh Darling" Review+Swatches

Hello Everyone,


Today I'm reviewing this gorgeous highlighter from M.A.C, which is from their "Magic of the Night" 2015 Holiday collection. They release two highlighters, one is on the warm side and the other one is this which I got for myself. It comes in a Royal blue metallic plastic case which looks absolutely beautiful and chic.

Last month I went to buy some lipsticks from M.A.C's regular collection and I saw this extra dimension highlighter in "Oh darling". And then I asked the sell girl "that do you have this instock?. And she was like yes we have only one left instock. So I didn't think much and tell her that I want it. so yeah that's the story behind this.
And now scroll down to read my experience about this:


My Experience:
Love this highlighter it is a golden shade which is so pigmented and looks beautiful on all skin tones. Only one swipe is enough to give your face a soft and subtle glow. The formula is so soft like the other M.A.C skinfinish powders. This highlighter doesn't have the chunk of glitters so those who have acne prone skin and want to use highlighters as well than this is it guys.
Its a little on the expensive side but worth buying.



Application:
Apply with a fan brush or a small blending brush on the highest point of your cheeks, cupid bow, down to the bridge of your nose, chin and on your forehead.

 Swatches:

See how beautiful and pigmented this shade looks without any primer (Without Flash)

M.A.C Pro longwear Concealer In shade Nc25 Review

Hello Everyone,

I'm very much into concealers lately, when ever I go out to shop I buy a new concealer for myself because of the dark circles I have and after trying and testing this baby Its time to give a review about this. It comes in a glass bottle with a pump which is really good to get the right amount. the glass packaging makes it elegant which is love.


My Experience:
This concealer is a must have guys, it has ability to conceal almost anything. The consistency is liquid and it dries up really fast so always keep in mind to blend it quickly otherwise you will end up with white patches under your eyes. This concealer have medium to full coverage, which everyone women love about a concealer because nobody wants to see these bad boys under them eyes. A lil drop is enough to conceal your pimple, marks and dark circles. It gives you matte finish and looks natural on skin. I bought a lighter shade than my natural color so it brightens ups my eyes.  I simply applied it under my eye in a triangle shape and then just blend blend and blend which is the key to get a flawless blended concealer. It last for hours without creasing. I have combination skin so don't really need to apply powder over it but if you have oily skin then put some powder over your concealer so it will stay at place. Its not heavy on skin as well a great product to have in your makeup collection. Its a bit expensive but a worth buying product. It smells like a sweet fragrance which i hope don't bother you guys.

Application:
Just one pump is enough for both eyes and than make dots in triangle shape under your eyes and than simply blend it with a synthetic brush or with your wet beauty blender.


Swatch:

Here I used this concealer


Thumbs Up:
  • Medium to full coverage
  • Easy to blend with a synthetic brush or with a beauty blender
  • Light fragrance
  • Comes with a pump bottle
  • Pigmented
  • Look natural
  • Matte

Thumbs Down:
  • It dries up really fast

Liquid

M.A.C Flat Out Fabulous review+Swatches

Hello Everyone,

Today I'm reviewing this gorgeous and one of the top selling lipstick from M.A.C which is "Flat Out Fabulous". Its a gorgeous berry/purplish pink shade with blue undertone. It comes in M.A.C regular packaging with whom I don't have any issues.


My Experience: 
I always wanted to try a berry kind of shade which I don't have in my previous lipstick collection. So I thought to try this shade out and see does it suits my pale/wheatish skin tone or not.
Well let me tell you I'm in love with this shade. It looks great on me and last for 5 to 6 hours, with which I do not have any issues. I like its light pleasant scent, and how pigmented it is. Only one swipe is enough to cover your entire lip. As you know its a matte lipstick but it does not make my lips dry at all. You can use this lipstick at any occasion and season and trust me it looks great on almost every skin tone. You can wear this shade if you are going out, attending a party or casually.


Application:
Before applying any matte lipstick make sure that your lips are soft/moist and for that, apply a lip balm and after 1 minute wipe it off with a tissue paper, and than use your favourite matte lipstick.

M.A.C Mineralize Skinfinish in Soft & Gentle Review+Swatches

Hello Everyone,

Its been almost 2 years I was looking for this highlighter but I never found it in Qatar, because in Qatar m.a.c counters never have this beauty instock. Well finally I found this here in Riyadh and I couldn't stop myself from buying it. I got this highlighter in its new and improved packaging which is simple yet chic at the same time.


My Experience:
It is a gorgeous domed shape champagne color which looks great on almost every skin tone. The texture is very soft and smooth. At first when I swatched it in mac store I find this highlighter a bit glittery but trust me if you top it off over your foundation it looks absolutely gorgeous on you and gives you a warm champagne glowy skin. It is very pigmented so whenever I want to add a lil bit sheen to my face I just applied it a little and it gives me a gorgeous subtle glow but whenever I'm going for a dinner or attending any event at night I applied this highlighter a lil  more to make my skin extra glowy and beautiful. It last around 6 to 7 hours which is a good thing about this highlighter.
I usually use it under my brow bone, inner corner of my eyes, on my chin, forehead, on my cheekbones and at the bridge of my nose for that subtle healthy glow. It is a lil bit on a pricey side but it is totally worth it .I just love this product and definitely recommend it.


Application:
Apply your foundation or BB cream and than top it off on your cheeks, bridge of your nose or any other area of your face which you want to highlight. Use a fan brush or fluffy round brush for the application or you can use your fingers too.


Swatches:

Thumbs Up:
  • Gives you a instant glow
  • Great pigmentation
  • Smooth texture
  • Long lasting
  • Gorgeous color


Thumbs Down:
  • Expensive


Quantity:
NET/WT 10g/ 0.35 us oz
