One of my favourite red lipsticks, simply because I adore the formula and colour both:

Every time I wear one of my MUFE reds (I also have 205), I marvel at how long it wears, and how it doesn't dry out my lips! This here is a single coat - totally opaque and lovely with its slightly glossy finish. Love it!

This post brought to you in part by a reader request. I'm working on another one that should hopefully come your way soon, and am totally up for more if you want to throw them at me!

Yes, I am addicted to purple makeup. There is a shade to make essentially every eye colour pop, and it also works nicely with my cool skin and the red in my hair. Plus, it's just hella pretty!

Curiousity got the best of me when I was looking at Star Gazer lipsticks the other day (and all the unusual shades available!), so I decided to order one to try out. I picked the shade 115, a creamy lilac, for my test run purposes, as I figured it's not quite the ordinary, but it's also something I'd actually wear.

Little did I realise quite how blue this sucker is!

A favourite formula for many, Amplified Cremes are richly pigmented, shimmer-free and have a touch of glossy shine to them. I personally find some to be very moisturizing, while others leave my lips parched (like Blankety, which looks like frigging DEATH on me). So many great colours, though!

Love Impassioned, as seen above, for it is so bright it is nearly neon.

Any MAC fan knows about the Viva Glam line: every penny of the sale price of these fairly universal shades goes to the MAC AIDS foundation and whatnot. Good stuff, yo.

I don't have glosses or the Viva Glam VISE lipstick to show you, but I have the six core shades!

In the picture above, swatches are in order from six through one. Wooo! This lighting is unfortunately not natural, and I find it pulls a touch cool. If you don't mind messy, there are lip swatches under the cut! I did them with one of the wee baby palette lip brushes, yo. Ahaha. Not the tidiest.

My computer no longer acknowledges my camera. It tells me the USB device has malfunctioned, and to replace it. Thanks, computer!

As such, you don't get much today, because it's all on my camera (grrrr). We have lip swatches of two matte lipsticks today, one a current pro shade and one an old glitter matte (yes, glitter matte).

Lovedust. Glittery mattes will never make sense to me, but this is a nifty shade regardless.

Redpepper. A bricky red, yo.

I've been hyped up and ready to haul big time for collection since I first heard about it awhile ago. And finally Sept 24th has come and I got my goodies. This is my biggest Mac haul up to date and i'm on a makeup high.

Boom!! Another quad graces our presence. With Makeup Art and Cosmetics 3 quads making a little happy threesome this dark and delicious wonder scares them all away. If you want to achieve the dark blue/grey smokey eye for fall this is a given. It houses A Warmer White which Mac calls a pale green grey...I don't see any green, Tone:Grey which is a nice mid-tone grey, Waft a nice dark blue grey and The Right Smoke which is almost Deep Truth but has white pearl. I didn't pick this guy up as I have tons of blues and greys but it's a nice starter quad that has everything you need for a smokey eye.

And here, my friends, are the lustres. Glossy, sheer, moisturising, I find these to really be quite a lovely formula. As such, I have... a handful?
