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?

Swatched: By Terry Aqualip Jelly Tint in Dancefloor Flirt

Here's my first swatch post! I bought the By Terry Aqualip Jelly Tint in Dancefloor Flirt as a sort of end-of-semester present for myself. I was in the market for a day-time bright but not too fussy lip product and when I saw this on Vivianna Does Makeup I knew that this was it.

I was initially attracted to the orange colour of the packaging because I quite like a good coral/orange tone for a bright lip but I as you can see by the swatch above it's not really orange at all, more like a fuchsia-esque pink.

This is a limited edition product and it only comes in one colour, which is a shame because I would definitely be prepared to invest in another one. It's such a great lip product for day time.
