Lipstick Picks for Spring

Morning everyone! It's my 20th birthday! & I just needed to get that out of the way, haha! Today I have a really exciting, and super colorful post to share with you all and that is my Top 5 lipstick picks for spring! It's a guest post I wrote for the lovely Sandra at The Puzzle of Sandra's Life and if I do say so myself, it's a good one! There's a nice mix of light, pastel shades, as well as some of my favorite brights (couldn't exclude those beauts!) so hopefully you'll be able to find some lip-spiration (oooh, I quite like that!) for the warmer months! If you guys are interested, do head on over to Sandra's blog through this link -> here and have a read! I'd really appreciate the support (it's my first guest post ever, eek!) and would love to know what you guys think! Don't forget to share your favorite spring time lipstick with me when you get over there!

Have an awesome day everyone! (Almost wrote 'birthday' LOL)

MAC | Show Orchid

FINALLY! Just ... finally! Today I'm going to be talking about the lipstick that I've lusted after for the longest time. Many a time I would convince myself I didn't need it and then go buck to lusting after it. My dear friends, it is MAC Cosmetics lipstick in Show Orchid and she is perfection. It's a MAC Pro product which made it rather difficult for me to find, but I've finally got my hands on it! It's this gorgeous fuchsia-berry-hot pink (it's got a lot going on) shade. It's one of those shades that can do no wrong in any season. It's bright enough for the spring/summer but berry enough to pull off in the fall/winter months, as well! The finish is Amplified Creme which means it's practically the smoothest and most pigmented type of formula you'll ever come across from MAC. It glides onto the lips like a dream (and I say this is a girl with dry lips!). I also love that it stays on my lips even after I've drunken a grande Starbucks coffee. I'm guilty of being that girl who just knows which cup is hers because most of her lipstick has transferred onto the cover. But this one doesn't budge and I love it! MAC lipsticks all retail for $15, which may seem a bit pricey but this color is so worth it!
