MY PRECIOUS / OOTD



So seriously one of these days Im going to work out how to use my DSLR. I managed to use it for the photos I took for the Mac lipstick post Candy Yum Yum so I guess thats progress, but I really want to work it out to improve quality of my outfit posts!

Ive literally spent this week working,  eating rubbish with work mates and friends and watching scary films (sinister...waaahhh) and Lord of the Rings with my boyfriend. I am back on hardcore dieting starting monday but to be honest Ive been a bit ill the last few days so feel not so slim! Hopefully I can shed some unwanted weight in the next weeks. I feel like I say this a lot but really it is a case of ups and downs with regards to weight loss. 

Im getting sooo addicted to the nike blazers, instagram and Iron man. Quite a few varied favourites, but I do really love all three. I'm also wanted to adventure into new lipstick choices since my Mac Lipstick post!!

Today I'm going to sort out my nails, try start the 30 day shred (if i feel up for it today, if not Ill start tomorrow. Why does everything work better if you start on a monday!?) and then go to my boyfriends to watch Iron Man 2 and possibly eat bad food choices again. Literally banishing all bad foods from my mind starting monday morning!! 

Happy Sunday :-p

CANDY YUM YUM LIPSTICK / MAC COSMETICS

Having watched Youtube for over 3 years now, I first heard of Candy Yum Yum lipstick from MAC when it was first released. I really couldn't tell you which collection it was part of, but I do know I became completely obsessed with getting this lipstick.



You may have noticed I haven't delved into the world of MAC recently, especially since they raised there priced. I was pretty much Mac obsessed (like the rest of youtube) until they raised the prices and I just couldn't justify a whopping £14.50 for a lipstick. Not even as a treat. Mac lipsticks are of insane quality, don't get me wrong, I am in love with them and have around 15 left in my collection and have back up's of some, but recently I found some cheaper alternatives. Rimmel to have some amazing good quality dupes, and for the price of a lip liner and lipstick you can still afford to go for a drink wearing your new lippy in comparison to the mac lipstick prices. 

When Mac released the 'Favourites' collection, all those issues went out of the window for me. I literally saw the lipstick and purchased it without question (or any reason) I just went for it. I don't have any regrets of my purchase as the lipstick is probably about as luxurious as I can get. I literally would pick Mac over Chanel. I do absolutely love Candy Yum Yum and am so happy to finally have this in my collection!

Candy Yum Yum really looks great with my new hair (post coming soon!) and I love love LOVE the vibrancy of the pink. Barry M's 52 Lipstick I find to be similar, (its the most comparable in my personal lipstick collection) but its not quite the same. Mac's is much more moisturising but still long lasting. Barry M's is much more drying and is more purple toned. I am so happy to own  Candy Yum Yum now, and think its definitely worth the investment.


Sorry for the fuzzy picture, but it shows the true colour well!




Candy Yum Yum applied straight to the lips, no liner.
