Th Perfect Re Lip.

 Drop all of your red lipsticks and everything else you are doing. As you all know Holiday season is red lip season and I keep wanting to wear red but all of the Mac Russian red, Ruby woo etc are so drying on lips especially in the winter times so I always end up picking them out and putting them back into my drawers because It is not worth the effort and having cracked lips afterwards.
So I saw The Makeup Bar (Dublin) post this Make-up Designory (MUD) Christmas Set  on their Facebook page for €25, and since I have been hearing a lot of good things about this lipstick I had to try it and I had hopes for it, and I put it to test today.

 

 This is the set I have. Lipstick in Lady Bug.

 

1.Colour - This is a cool(blue) toned red  which means that It will make your teeth look a lot whiter and this was one of the most important things to me because with red you can go wrong and it can make your teeth look yellow. The same goes for lip liner love the cool tone color.

2. Application -   The lip liner glided on it was so easy to use it and fill in the whole lip without any effort but as soon as it was on the lips it did not move, smudge, or transfer when I touched the lips even tho it went on like butter. 

Lipstick was the same really really creamy and pigmented was so easy to apply it without any struggle like you would with Matte red lipsticks.

3. Lasting power - This is the most ridiculous part of the fact that the actual color and application is amazing, I have NEVER ever had a lipstick with  lasting power like this one and I have tried a lot of lipstick starting from Essence to Dior and everything in between and the middle.

4.Comfort -  This is lipstick will not dry out your lips, even tho I do have dry lips it was delightful to wear and my lips were the same at the end of the day were like before I applied the lipstick.

I  put the lipstick on at 10am (I will have pictures included at the end), had coffee, went to work had food and drinks , then after that worked, had bottled water and more food, after I went for drinks had more food (I eat a lot :D ) and was home around 8.30pm and I still had the stain of lipstick on my lips. 

Every lipstick I used even the Matte ones they don't last as long, you have to keep replying the trough the day, especially if  I am drinking constantly and eating a lot. One more thing I always have to do when I have matte red lipstick on is put lip balm on my lips during the day because they get way too dry , and I did not need lip ball today with the MUD Lady Bug lipstick.

 

The swatches are not doing the justice for the actual color. I have been real busy so it is hard to get time to take pictures of everything in day light.

 You can get the MUD lipstick set on 13 Anglesea Street,Templebar, Dublin, Ireland.

If you wish to get just the lipstick it is  €14

lip liner  €13.50

The best part is the lipstick is affordable and doesn't cost ridiculous amount  money for a high end quality product, it would make a perfect gift for Christmas, yourself or any makeup or Red lip lover.

This was after 5or 6hrs of work and having food as you can see the lipstick is still looking like just applied.

This was after 7 or 8 hrs when I had more food and drinks

This one was when I was going home at the end of the day 20.30 o 'clock as you can see there is still tint left the top lip has less color on it but lipstick goes for some reason of my top lip first , keep in mind this was after 10hrs of wearing it and having loads of food and drinks.

November Empties

I don't have that many empties this month but its better when there is less stuff to write about.
 I will start doing the mini reviews with the stuff that I liked the most and was my favorites.

 Dior Lash Plumbing serum-€33.50 
This is lasted me for ages, it makes your lashes really long and thick it doesn't matter what mascara you will use after, lashes will still look the bomb, I already repurchased it.

 

Maybelline Great Lash Mascara €7.49

Repurchased this one already, it makes lashes really really long this is the most lengthening mascara I've found so far.

 GlamGlow Supermud €56

I have repurchased this  before but for some reason it is impossible to find it in any store at all, because it is sold out everywhere, it is great for pulling out dirt and oils from the skin.

 

Cinema Secrets  €32

This is a multiple time repurchase amazing from even taking out waterproof eyeliners like the Inglot one, from brushes

 

Garnier Express 2 in1 eye makeup remover. It usually is  €4.49 but for somne reason I always see it on sale and get it when it is around €2 and that actually is the reason why I swaped from Nivea 2in1 eye  makeup remover to this one. They work the same.

 Max Facor,  This is a really good voluminasing mascara and it separates lashes really good as well. The reason why this has no wand is  because I cut it off to use in my course and so that I would mix in with mascaras that  I use myself, well turns out it was a big mistake to do so because it dried out really really fast and the other one of these that I opened at the same time but I am using with the wand is still good.

 This is one of the things that I have been sing for ages as well in the mornings to refresh my face since this doesn't take of makeup.

This is some cheap brush from a set of 4 that I got from Alixpress for €2 and it lasted a decent amount of time and it was second one that broke,the other 2 are still oky.

Surgical spirit-around €6. I use this for cleaning of my table, spatula, mixing pallet and various things.

Bleach London.€6.99 

It was oky'ish I did use this twice in a row to get intensity of the violet color I wanted but it washed out in about 5washes, and stained my hair turquoise/green witch tbh I don't like and it is taking ridiculous time to wash  out the residue.

Garnier-€6.49 on sale in Boots.ie for €4.33.

It was oky as a moisturizer but for some reason I did not like the scent it wasn't nice and the fact that there is a pump made it harder to get it out at the end ,so I didn't bother using it completely up anyways due to the fact I really disliked the smell.

Revlon €18.99.

If you like glittery/shinny face go for it. Other than it has glitter in it the coverage is medium to high.

BLACK FRIDAY HAUL

I did not plan on going shopping on Black Friday but because I did end up buying few Christmas presents for people since they were on sale, and I got few bits for myself and Yes I know Inglot again but seriously since I changed to 10 pan pallets I cant atop buying and using them.

Dior had 10% of  in Boots and since I needed  a new one  of these I thought I might as well get it, the one I am using at the moment is about or over a year old but then again there is still a bit left there and it work as fine this does make your lashes a lot longer and thicker and it doesn't matter what mascara you use after lashes still look great definitely recommend trying this out.

Since it is night time and the pictures are taken with flash you are able to see more of the finish that the eye shadows have and that some of them has sparkle in it.

November Makeup/Beauty Haul.

This is just a random haul and bits I Picked up yesterday and few days ago... Enjoy...

This is Essence (Merry Berry) New holiday highlighter in, I love my golden pumps, That my friend picked up for me check out her Ig, +IgneGuess

 As you can see from swatch it isn't really intense in your face but for someone who loves natural makeup or just a simple day look this would be just the right thing.

 For anyone in Ireland who Loves the Urban Decay all nighter setting spray they have a deal in Debenhams for the set of 2, €35.

 I've been wanting to get this Nyx,Taupe blush for more than 6 months but it was always sold out, luckily I came into my local pharmacy and they just had restocked the shelves.

As you can see this is not your typical blush color and I intend of using it as a contour shade.

 I didn't get anything much at Mac because sometimes I walk in there and I want to buy everything and sometimes I don't see anything I like at all and this was one of those times.

 

Swatch of plumage eye-shadow

 Am I the only one who hates to buy foundation and then having to buy a damm pump separately.

 Since I swapped over to the 10pan palettes from the 18pan I have been using Inglot shadows a lot more often and starting to like them more and more so I wanted to pick up some metallic/shimmer shades.

You can't see in the picture but the green nr58 has gorgeous shimmer in it, if you are at Ingot store definitely check it out.

Since Ive been hearing a lot of good thing about the Inglot HD contour powders of-course I had to get them and make sure for myself that they are as good as everyone says.

Anyone willing to comment what other shades I should get ?

One more life lesson I learned don't buy the big duo glue size even tho you will think that you'll save money you wont, you will end up wasting enormous amount of glue, so I got these 3 for 2 in Boots in small size and you can put the glue from tube to the eyelashes and there wont be a huge blob of glue coming out every time you use it.

Fo the eye candy lashes anyone wondering, I got them in TkMaxx for €3

 The Garnier dual eye makeup remover is really effective to get of waterproof eye makeup it is the same as the Nivea dual effect one just slightly cheaper.
Maybelline great lash amazing for lengthening lashes.
Tweezers well I just like the ones from Primark and for some reason from 5 sets of these tweezers I only have 1 left cuz they all disappear  in about 1-2weeks time.

 Ordered this msQ blending brush from Alixpress, wanted to throw it here just to say that it is really rough,good for under eye eye shadow blending tho.

This most likely is not a Sigma brush and was ordered from Alixpress only for the shape of it and so far I'm loving it.Yes I know you not suppose to order fake products and all that cap but you know what it is a brush and if it works I coudn't care less if it is Chanel or some cheap brand as long as it preforms good.

With all this glitter root thing I want to try it as well so I got a hair gell, only problem is I keep forgetting to buy glitter :D 

 

You can get these cute lip balms in Supergrug in a set of 3.
