Mac Haul

Sorry this has taken longer. 

I have decided to review the prodcts i recently Bought from M.A.C. 

So recently I have been earning my money in a new job. Therefore I had decided to treat myself! 
So a trip to Meadowhall (Sheffield) as this is the closest MAC counter to me that I can access in my wheelchair. 
I went with my Auntie & two cousins, so that was a nice girly day out. 
Anyway get on with it.....

Prep & Prim highlighter pen - £18
For those who don't know I have dark circles and bags under my eyes due to the lack of sleep. I have been using this pen underneath my eyes, down my nose and the bit on my chin. Basically where your face naturally highlights. This pen does that perfectly. Similar to YSL Touche Éclat highlighting pen. However I find the Mac one works better for me. I have dry skin and this prep & prime didn't cling to it unlike the YSL one.  There is a great choice of shades to choose from. I bought raident rose, this is because it has Pink undertones. I chose this because I wanted a natural highlight, when I tried the yellow toned one I felt it was too brightening for my skin tone (nc15). I am still getting used to using it but so far so good. 

Pro eyeshadow - woodwinked 

I have a Mac pro eyeshadow Palette. I have been trying to fill it and currently have four spaces left. I have dark brown eyes and how choosing colours that will compliment them. Woodwinked is one of those kind of colours. Wanting a gold colour but not quite as intense, woodwinked is a bronze colour. It has the perfect amount of shimmer not too much that it has fall out. It lasts well on the lid.  I like to put it on all over the lid with a darker shade in the crease for a smoky effect if going out. however for an every day look I just use it in the crease and blend out well mostly with a light  highlight shade (naked lunch/rice paper). 

Prolong wear concealer - 
I bought this concealer because I wanted something with really high coverage for my under eyes. The Woman in Mac advised me to buy this one - so far so good! I have been using This concealer for days when I feel I need more coverage. However the woman matched me with a lighter shade so I can't really use it for imperfections like spots, but works well for dark circles. 

Lipstick - Saigon Summer
I Bought this lipstick because I have been after a orange lipstick for a while. I had also seen several people on YouTube talking about which persuaded me even more! I am however a little bit disappointed with the finish of this lipstick.  It is a cremesheen finish which is usually my favourite in MAC. However this one lacks in pigment it's very sheer. The colour payoff is not at all the same as what it looks in the bullet. Don't get me wrong I still like the lipstick, the colour is just a little sheer, but very nice for them every day summer glow.

10 Years on

Just sat minding my own...well actually browsing through ASOS with the telly on in the background and I see my back surgeon from 10 years ago. BBC 2 Hospital series 3  a documentary on Nottingham QMC hospital around the time of a bed crisis. A young boy of 12 was about to undergo a spinal fusion by the best surgeon Micheal Grevitt (my doctor). The documentary was a brilliant insight into how the NHS is suffering. Staff overworked, patients distressed waiting for beds, treatment and then a lack of social care funding. An experience I didn't have 10 years ago. The program brought back some memories, least to say some painful memories - literally painful. August 2007 I went to QMC to have the biggest operation I'd ever had or probably will ever have. I make myself laugh to be honest because now at 26 I'd be shitting myself but not at 16 -  bitch be fearless! Obvz I was nervous but I was optimistic almost unbeatable! My mum looked petrified...the woman is scared of hospital

MAXFACTOR CREME PUFF BLUSHES

(30 Gorgeous Berries) When i saw the release of these blushers i was skeptical because of the Creme element - instantly thought STICKY. The MaxFactor Creme Puff Blusher are new to the drugstore in the UK ( Boots & Superdrug ). There are 6 shades in this range. When swatching i thought glitterin'hell - i'll look like a disco ball with these blushes! The lighter shades such as 5 Lovely Pink and 10 Nude Mauve may be more of a highlight for medium skin tones. I have seen that these blushes are a DUPE for Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blushers  which are £28! In my eyes that makes these MaxFactor blushes a  bargain  at £8.99!  Im not sure if some shades are online exclusives as i was looking for 20 Lavish Mauve , it was impossible to find!  I bought mine in the shade 30 Gorgeous Berries . Gorgeous Berries is the darkest blusher in the range. It is what it says on the tin, its a berry shade (I ts a purpley/Pinky shade ). The formula is a powder and a highly p

#MYBEAUTIFULSTRUGGLE

   I don't really know what I'm going to call this blog post. I have to discuss Jordan Bone's latest YouTube video "My beautiful struggle". This video had over 25,000 views in 24 hours! ( Congratulations Jordan) . The point of this video was for Jordan to show her viewers The struggle she has to apply make up. It's almost like a behind-the-scenes about how difficult it was to learn to do her make up. She is a positive, beautiful, ambitious inspiration which makes her the perfect role model for so many different people not just those with disabilities. It's not easy to put a video like this online for everyone to see. To admit that you can't do most things for yourself and have to ask for help with everything is difficult. Down to silly little things to normal people ( able people ), like brushing your own hair or dressing yourself. Do you take that for granted ? Maybe ? You probably don't even realise your morning routine is completel
