Review: My First Mac Lipstick

I don't know why but I've always loved Mac and wanted to buy so many of their products. I can't believe that I've only just recently bought my first Mac lipstick, what's wrong with me, why haven't I done it sooner?! I don't have an answer to that really, I suppose I've just never got round to it and they are a bit expensive.

Anyway onto the lipstick that I got, it's a matte lipstick in Russian Red. I actually bought it from Cohorted, I can't remember how much I paid for it but it was cheaper than buying it directly from Mac so I'm pretty pleased with that. I don't have many red lipsticks and this one just looked gorgeous.

I really love the Mac packaging and the lipstick smells lovely, like vanilla. I love the colour and it feels quite nice on the lips, not drying at all. It's really opaque and covers in pretty much one swipe. The wear time is pretty good as well, I think I wore this for about 6 hours, it came off slightly after eating but not so much that it needed to be re-applied.

I wore this lipstick in my last makeup post Smokey Eyes And Red Lips

After trying out this lipstick I'm really looking forward to adding more Mac lipsticks to my collection.

What was your first Mac lipstick?

Review: Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion

This is only the third eye primer I've ever tried so I'm not much of an expert on these and I've only been using them about a year or two now. I know a lot of people rave about the Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion and I only bought it recently as I saw it on Cohorted and bought it for £11.20. I thought it was worth giving it a try.

It applies quite smoothly and evens out the skin tone a bit. I've never really had a problem with eyeshadow creasing so I can't really tell you if this primer stops that, although it does say that on the packaging. It definitely helped intensify the colour of my eyeshadows and they lasted all day and evening without budging. I also have a little confession to make too, I actually left my makeup on overnight and the eyeshadow was still in place the next day so that's pretty impressive.

I would probably buy this again although you don't need to apply much so I think this tube will last me quite a while.

Have you tried this primer? What do you think of it?
