Girl Loves: Mac Melba Blush



Mac describes it as "a soft coral peach"

I've never been one for blush, especially many of the conventional pink shades that many people love. However, Melba is gorgeous peach colour and used in conjunction with Nars Laguna, it is a dream product for my olive NC 40-42 skin tone. It is a matte blush which I prefer as I find too much shimmer on the cheeks just emphasises any imperfections such as blemishes, pigmentation etc etc. I find that you only need the tiniest amount of this and I can see this product lasting for a long time. This is a cult product and I can completely understand why!

Girl Loves: Mac Shy Girl Lipstick


      
 Mac Shy Girl - £13.50 

Mac describes it as being "a creamy neutral coral beige"

I only own two Mac lipsticks and this is a new addition to my miniscule collection. This is a warm toned peach colour and a great nude lipstick for my NC 40-42 skin tone. This is one of few lipsticks I have found that don't wash me out but rather compliment my olive skin tone. It has a cremesheen finish, which I find is very moisturising on my lips. The only thing I would say is that I have to wear lip balm with this as otherwise, the lipstick just sits on the dry, chapped patches on my lips, even though it has a moisturising texture. Overall, I love wearing it and it is definitely a great colour for the daytime.
