MAC Plumful

Happy New Year everyone! I'm going to start the new year off by doing a review of MAC Plumful lipstick which I featured in my first First Impressions post.

I said in that post that it was a great shade for my lips which  could be worn during the day and at night for a more subtle but still dark-ish lip. I still totally stand by my first impressions of this product, it's a great lipstick shade it's not too purple or too pink it's the perfect berry/plum shade.

Another great thing about this lipstick is that it's a MAC Lustre finish which means it's a little bit sheer but can be built up if desired, handy if you want a day-to-night look. This also means that it's really easy to apply and can, in my opinion be worn during the summer without looking too dark or out of place.



The wear time of Plumful is about 4 hours on me which is about average for a MAC lipstick.

I would highly recommend this lipstick for anyone who was looking for a very wearable plum-toned lipstick that is not too red,  too purple or too dramatic. It sits right in the middle of all of that and is a great buy.

In Australia it retails for $36.



Have you tried this lipstick before? What's your favourite plum-tone lip colour?

First Impressions: MAC Plumful & This Works Deep Sleep Pillow Spray

I thought I would start a new category today about the first impressions of products I've just bought so if I think they're review worthy later down the line I can compare my initial reaction to my deliberative one.

These are a couple of things I bought a couple of days ago:

MAC Lipstick in Plumful: I bought this lipstick because I've been looking for a darker toned lip colour (I really only own bright pinks and reds atm). So when I saw this lipstick on essie button I decided that this was the colour I wanted. I've worn it once and so far I think it's exactly the right shade for me, it's a couple of shades darker than my lip colour and slightly more plum but not too purple-y. I think I will be able to wear it throughout the day and night.

thisworks Deep Sleep Pillow Spray: This has been doing the rounds in the blogger sphere and has generally received rave reviews. This spray contains Lavender, Vetivert and Camomile essential oils to help relaxation and promote sleep. I often have trouble getting to sleep and staying asleep and hopefully this should help me to get to sleep easier. This has a pleasant relaxing smell when sprayed  and seems to promote sleepiness although I doubt it's the miracle solution that it claims on the bottle, but we shall see!

Has anyone tried either of these products? Let me know what you think of them!
