MAC Lipstick - Mehr | Review & Swatches

09:00

I'm sure it will come as no surprise that I'm completely obsessed with lipsticks, MAC and matte in particular. Today's post is a review of the popular MAC lipstick in the shade Mehr.
On the MAC website Mehr is described as a "dirty blue pink" which is a pretty accurate description. Mehr is a "my lips but darker" shade on my pale skin tone and it looks gorgeous.
Its in the same colour family as MAC Brave but it is a tiny bit darker and matte. Mehr is an everyday shade for me as it is so easy to pull off. It pairs with a neutral eye or a smoky eye and it never looks too much.
The matte formula glides along the lips full of pigmentation and wears well before fading. It can dry your lips out as it is a matte lipstick so the lips are better off prepared with a scrub and lip balm beforehand.
I'm yet to be disappointed by any MAC lipstick and I love the shade Mehr.

The Weekly Top Five #1

14:51

Today's post is the first in a new series that I'm kicking off on Freshly Pressed Beauty. I've been slacking with doing monthly favourites so I will be bringing to you my weekly top five instead. It will range from TV, to make-up, food and fashion. I hope you enjoy this new series! First up is the LORAC Pro 2, this has been my favourite ever since that I got my hands on it. Recently I've hit pan on three shades! I've never hit pan on a eye shadow palette before so this just shows how much I enjoy it. LORAC's Pro Shadows are pigmented, smooth and buttery. I have no shame in this next favourite, the Kim Kardashian Game... It's just addictive and I'm an A-Lister, aha! MAC's Toledo Collection hit the beauty market by storm with everyone lusting over something from the collection. I picked up a lipstick in Ox Blood and I love it. I wear it under a pink lip liner so it isn't too peachy brown on my skin tone. It's a matte finish and it has become one of my favourite lipsticks, shame it is limited edition! Ru Paul's Drag Race is my new favourite addiction. Their make-up, dresses, challenges are amazing, it is so entertaining. If you haven't watched it then get on Netflix now, warning - it gets additive...

My last favourite is Maybelline's Lash Sensational Mascara. This is hands down the best mascara I have used. It gives volume and length without being clumpy. Love!
