What's New | MAC 163 Brush and Clarins Beauty Flash Balm

What's New | MAC 163 Brush and CLARINS Beauty Flash Balm..♥

How sad, I've saved this what's new post in my drafts for nearly a month now and I never got around to completing it until now.

Yes I know there are only two products in this post but I guess nearly every little beauty buy is worth mentioning right? Although the MAC 163 brush is currently sold out, the Clarins Beauty Balm is still available to buy. I have a feeling the MAC brush will be back in stock sooner or later as I've heard it's always in and out of stock but you have to keep an eye on the site as it is a limited edition brush!



MAC 163 Contour Brush

The MAC 163 brush came out with the MAC Face and Body Collection. It's a contour brush designed to be used with the MAC Sculpting Cream. The shape of the brush is really good for use on the cheekbones to achieve prominent face definition with either a contour cream or powder. After reading reviews of the MAC Sculpting Cream at the time of purchase, I decided not to get them (I was also unsure of which shade I'd use and I was too lazy to check them out in a MAC store). I am after a product with a cream finish that I can use to contour with. If you have any suggestions, please let me know!

Price: £26

Availability: MAC

Clarins Beauty Flash Balm



This is one of those products that there's so much hype around. I'd been contemplating buying it for a long time so when it finally went on a 3-day sale at CheapSmells for £13.99, I grabbed it as soon as I could. The product is a favourite of Tanya Burr (Pixi2woo) so I really wanted to see what it was about. It is said to be an instant radiance booster which gives a softer, smoother and healthier looking complexion. It also claims to "promote firmer looking features and reduce the appearance of fine lines and  "Enhances make-up's luminous appearance and lasting wear." Sounds appealing right?



RRP: £28

CheapSmells Price: £17.95

Autumn Lippies

Autumn Lippies..♥



Hey beauts!

Now that we're into Autumn it's definitely time to switch up our make up looks just a little bit. While many of us are already rocking the dark vampy lip, I'm not sure that I'm quite ready for a look so intense. As you know, my hair is now a natural black so it takes quite a lot to pull off a really dark lip. Instead, I'm taking a subtle dip into that trend this season by opting for shades which are more on the berry side rather than deep, plum or purple shades. In this post I'll be showing you some of my Autumn picks in hope that maybe one or two may interest you or give you an idea of colours that can be worn this season if you're like me and you're not daring enough for the deep vampy shades yet.



I am not wearing lip liner in any of these pictures so that it will help you see the true colour.



REVLON - Wine Not

MAYBELLINE - Plum Perfect

MARY KAY - Redwood (I think)

MARY KAY - Compassion 

BECCA Beach Tint - Strawberry

CLINIQUE Almost Lipstick - Bare Honey

MARY KAY Lip Nectar - Passion Fruit

Swatches

L-R: Maybelline Plum Perfect, Mary Kay Compassion, Clinique Bare Honey, Mary Kay Redwood, Mary Kay Passion Fruit, Revlon Wine Not

I already have a post including swatches of BECCA Beach Tint. Click HERE to view it.

Other lipsticks such as MAC Rebel, MAC Dubonnet and MAC Hang-up are also great Autumn shades.
