Mac Fixed On Drama Retro Matte Lipstick

 Mac described it as a rich wine shade with a matte finish. yay I got my hands on Fixed on drama! as fall approaching we are seeing a lot of burgundy deep vampy colors everywhere. so this is going to be one of my go to shade for this fall/winter. this lipstick have great color payoff and its a warm tone shade with some brown burgundy redish undertone. this lipstick looks great on my yellow/olive under toned skin .

Like i mentioned before i found these retro matte lipsticks a bit on the drying side than the usual. make sure to moisturize your lips really well prior to using this lipsticks. fixed on drama is limited edition so If you are interested in purchasing this lipstick check your local mac, Macy's, nordstrom stores. 

Overall:

This lipstick is a bit drying and that's the only downside about it. This is a perfect color for fall and deep dark vampy colors are always in during this season, so I give this lipstick a thumbs up.

As soon as i saw this palette i knew i had to have it Bobbi Brown created this palette inspired by chocolate hence the names of the eye shadows. its sleek glossy chocolate color mirrored compact , comes with a dual ended brush . the palette is not bulky the size is just perfect, the quality of the brush is pretty good i don't usually use the brushes that comes with the palettes but I'm definitely putting this brush to work. if you are a big fan of neural palettes then you will love to add this one to your collection.

This palette is a perfect combination of neutrals not to mentions there are 5 matte finish eye shadows which I love. the caramel sparkle eye shadow have just the right amount of sparkle and glitter. you can totally get away with using this eye shadow on your day time looks. all the eye shadows are highly pigmented and blends easily. this palette have everything you need for a basic everyday look. bone is one of the eye shadow i see in a lot of Bobbi Brown palettes its a perfect color for brow bone highlight. I've already used this palette couple of times i didn't notice any fading or fall outs while applying the shadows. i did find rich chocolate e/s a little bit chalky beside that all the colors are rich and smooth. i swatched the eye shadows without primer so you can see how pigmented the shadows are check out the swatches below

Caramel is a beautiful wash of color with some sparkle it looks very glossy. usually glitter shimmery eye shadows tends to have major fall outs well not this one. i actually like the light wash of color with some glitter in it. this palette is so versatile you can create day time to night time look or a smokey brown look add a little shimmer and sparkle to it. 

Overall:

I give this palette a thumbs up. I think this is a gorgeous palette with yummy chocolate inspired shades perfect for autumn season. If you are a neutral color kinda gal than this is perfect for you. once again Bobbi Brown did neutral just right .

This is what i picked up from Mac's retro matte collection. the first two picture was taken with flash which is why all fired up ended up looking red . i managed to get the actual color to show up on the third picture. beside steady going and dangerous i really liked rest of the lipsticks from this collection. since i already own ruby woo i decided to skip that one. i really wanted fixed on drama but it was sold out, i might pick up relentlessly red later on. mac matte lipsticks lasts about 5-6 hours on me, i believe dangerous, relentlessly red,flat out fabulous,ruby woo,all fired up are permanent and rest of them are limited edition. check out the swatches below 

Mac Runway Hit Retro Matte Lipstick 

(Top picture taken with flash,Bottom picture taken without flash)

Mac described it as a light nude shade with matte finish. i love this lipstick i prefer my nudes a bit peachy and this falls right in that category. this color looks great on my tan/yellow undertone skin. i did find them a bit drying definitely gotta moisturize your lips before and after wearing these lipsticks.out of all the lipsticks from this collection this one made it to my fave list.

Mac described it as a bright fuschia shade with matte finish. this is a very unique color it's exactly how mac described it bright fuschia with a hint of red. All fired up have great color payoff although this looks a lot like relentlessly red there is a difference for sure . i swatched them both together in store relentlessly red is more coral redish than all fired up .

Mac described it as a bright plum shade with matte finish. once again great color pay off bit drying on the lips.this one left behind a slight stain i found all the three lipsticks very thick and creamy texture. i wish it wasn't as drying beside that i have no other complains . if you are a fan of matte lipsticks like me then you should definitely check out this collection.

I love when sephora have their point perks it's a great way to try things out . these are a little bigger than sample size products these are travel size products. i already love the face polish its a great face scrub. I'm excited to try out the primer and the setting powder. that little brush is so cute! don't think i can get any use out of it but it's super cute though. unfortunately they didn't give you a option to choose the shade for tinted moisturizer, it came with the shade nude which is wayy too light for me. I've used their tinted moisturizer before and i don't know why i didn't repurchase it cause it's really good have great coverage for a tinted moisturizer. i love the lip gloss it's so pretty the micro shimmers are visible and it's really glossy. check out the swatch pictures below .

Top 5 Mac Nude Lipsticks

Hey guys i thought i share my top five  mac nude lipsticks with you all. please excuse my beat up lipsticks as you can see they are much loved i reach out for these lipsticks a lot. most mac lipsticks last on me about 4 to 5 hours. you can purchase mac lipsticks on www.maccosmetics.com . 

Mac Mattene Lipstick Delectable 

(Top picture direct sunlight, Bottom picture with flash)

Price $15.00

0.08 oz

Delectable is a peachy nude color with a creamy semi-matte finish. this is a limited edition lipstick the closest dupe i found is Mac's peach-stock. it's not a bang on dupe Mac peach-stock is less orange and more beige. this shade looks great on tan/olive skin it goes on creamy and doesn't dry out my lips . i have this lipstick on here.

Mac Brave Lipstick 
(Picture taken with flash)

Price $15.00

0.1 oz

Brave is described as pink-beige with white pearl color, it's a satin finish lipstick. brave looks more of a mauve pinkish color on me. i like the satin finish it doesn't make my lips dry at all. when it comes to nude lipsticks i tend to reach out for peachy nude colors more than the pink nude color, but its nice to switch it up sometimes and that's when i reach out for brave .

Mac Blankety Lipstick
(Picture taken with flash)

Price $15.00

0.1 oz

Blankety is described as soft pink beige, it's a amplified finish lipstick. Blankety is my very first mac lipstick. its so creamy i just love this lipstick, this lipstick would look great with a super smokey eye look. Blankety is my absolute favorite nude lipstick, its a must have and something i will continue purchasing.

Mac Hug Me Lipstick

(Top picture direct sunlight, Bottom picture with flash)

Price $15.00

0.1 oz

Hug me is described as flesh pink, it's a lustre finish lipstick. I'm not a fan of lustre finish lipsticks but hug me totally won me over its a beautiful pinky nude brownish color if that makes any sense .this lipstick glides over very smooth doesn't make my lips dry what so ever. i just love this color i will definitely repurchase this .

Mac Yash Lipstick 

(Left picture with flash, Right picture without flash)

Price $15.00

0.1 oz

Yash is described as deep neutral color its a matte finish lipstick. i think mac added yash to their permanent collection i bought some back ups anyways cause i just love this lipstick. this last about 4-5 hours  it does dry out my lips a little. don't let the website swatch scare you it doesn't look that light once you apply it . yash looks like brown with a slight pink under tone on me. i think this is a great nude color for medium to dark skin ladies. this concludes my top 5 nude lipstick list =)

Origins Brighter By Nature High-Potency Brightening Peel With Fruit Acids

This product was hate at first sight i say this cause this broke me out after one use. i wouldn't call it pimples all over my face it was more of a rash type bumps i don't know how to explain it .you must be wondering why i continued to use this and how on earth this made it on my can't live without list. well  this peel pads did scared me at first but once i saw the result  i realized this product really does work so i decided to continue using it. my skin is very sensitive i break out easily sometimes some product can irritate my skin which can cause redness on my cheeks. but this didn't irritate or cause redness, the second time i used it i didn't see a whole lot of rash looking bumps . then as i continued over the months my skin finally got used to it and i just love love this product. i will say this these pads are a bit rough it might not look like it on the pictures but they are which helps exfoliate your skin and get rid of all the dead skin. these pads didn't make my skin dry or anything my skin glows after using this. the packaging suggested to use this twice a week but i use it once a week i don't want to over do it since my skin is super sensitive. i use this during night time but if you are to use this during day time make sure to use a sunscreen and limit sun exposure while and after using this product. 

This is what the pad looks like after i use it on my super oily to combination skin. i know its gross but seeing the result really makes this product 10 times better . i always wash my face with a cleanser prior to using the pads but it still looks like i haven't washed my face for days. at first i thought it was my cleanser so i used a another cleanser but the result was same then i realized this takes out old makeup,oil,dirt,dead skin cleans out everything and leaves my skin smooth clear and glowing. you might feel a little cool and tingling while using the pads. i have been using this for two months or so and i haven't noticed any brightness on my skin maybe if i continue using this i might notice a difference, but if it doesn't brighten my skin I'm fine with that since i didn't purchase this product for brightening purpose. i did notice my old acne scars has been reduced . using this every week really helped prevent breakouts and helped clear out my skin so much. i no longer use amore pacific treatment enzyme peel since i like origins peel pads better and i get the result much faster than the amore pacific peel. i really recommend this product to everyone try it out see if it works out for you i truly hope it does .
