Essence draw the line instant colour lip liners - Review and Swatches

I do love a good lipliner and a few weeks back I saw the new ones from Essence.  This brand is not new to this blog and I have quite a number of favourites from Essence. These new lipliners are the 'Essence draw the line instant colour lip liners'.

From left to right:
05 so un-grey-tful, 07 undress my lips, 11 cherry sweet, 14 catch up red, 12 head to-ma-toes, 16 fancy blush, 20 rich mahogany. 

Formula. These lipliners are super creamy. The pigment? These lipliners are super pigmented and full of intense colour. Price wise? Perfect at just 1.49 euros. Having said that I think you can run out of them easily especially if you use them all over your lips. They are perfect to use as a normal liner or even as 'lipsticks' i.e. all over the lips for a matte colour.

05 so un-grey-tful, 07 undress my lips, 11 cherry sweet, 14 catch up red, 12 head to-ma-toes, 16 fancy blush, 20 rich mahogany. 

Essence paired each shade with a matte lipstick which I think is a good idea. I didn't get the lipsticks though. There are 7 shades in total and they all swatch and apply beautifully except for one (20 rich mahogany) which I thought is a bit patchy, but still manageable.

Check the swatches below. Ps at a certain point I couldn't take the red off without leaving a bit of a red thing. Sorry if the lip swatches are not perfect hahah!

MAC LIMITED COLLECTIONS

Hi there again!! It has been a while now! 

Me and a dear friend of mine Lara from Every Beauty Addict's Bible, went on a little trip to our local MAC store. Well, actually we have 2. We went there to view the latest collections, with the intention of picking only 2 items, which was hard believe me, but I managed!

Lara, kindly enough posing for me :)

There are several collections in store right now. These are the Fearie Whispers Collection, the Retro Matte Liquid Lipstick Collection and the Huggable Lips Collection.

Of all 3 collections, my favourite one was the Faerie Whispers. It just screams out to me! And honestly the colours are just perfect! So, earthy, so pretty and so just glowy and gorgeous. I seriously wanted to get every single product.

The Retro Matte liquid lipstick collection was just as gorgeous. However, I didn't get a lipstick, only because I just couldn't find the perfect shade. However, Lara got the Oh Lady one which looks gorgeous!! And she told me that it didn't budge on her so they are truly long lasting!

For some weird reason (mainly because I forgot), I didn't take a photo of the Huggable Lips collection! All I can tell is that the colours are very pretty and the scent is just yummy!

Here are the 2 products which I got from the Faerie Whispers Collection. The Iridescent powder is the perfect blend of a powder highlighter without looking too frosty or super highlighted. I find it perfect to wear even in daylight! But it can be built up for a more dramatic highlight! The lipstick is just the perfect nude brown shade for me. It is simply a stunning colour and it is available in the creamsheen formula, which is my favourite!

Did you pick anything up yet?
