Today I would like to tell you about my favourite lipstick of the last several months. It is MAC Blankety.  I’ve been using this lipstick a lot lately and I am very happy with it.

This is what MAC says about their lipsticks:

“Colour plus texture for the lips. Stands out on the runway. Simmers on the street! What made M·A·C famous.”

Blankety is described as Soft pink beige (Amplified Creme) and you can see the colour below:

Here are the reasons why I like this lipstick:

1. This is a neutral colour and it will look nice with a lot of makeup looks and with a lot of clothes.
2. I like how it feels on my lips and it gives an opaque coverage with only 1 layer.
3. The design is simple and nice. Here is one thing that happened to me last month. I went to my favourite restaurant and they have 2 floors so I was having lunch on the second floor. And I dropped this lipstick on the 1st floor. I rushed to the first floor, picked it up and it looked like as if it never felt down (it was closed of course).
4. This lipstick is from permanent line so you can always get one more when you want.
5. This lipstick is cheap.

This is how it looks like on the skin:

Lip Swatch

Craft Paper Couture – an inspired idea cut like a pattern and whipped up into a frisky little “funny face” frock. Then, strip it back to its essence for Summer 2010 for a Pret-a-Papier colour collection. It was a Project Runway challenge of sorts, with paper as the source, the instigator of ideas, the beginning of something simply, basically beautiful. Lipstick, LipGlass, Eye Shadow, Paint Pot, Chromografic Pencil, Studio Fix Lash, Impeccable Brow Pencil, Sheertone and Mineralize Blushes, and Nail Lacquer in a seamless spectrum of parchment-to-vellum beiges, with an occasional, clever colour spill, coral among the most au courant.

Here is how the colours from the collection look like

The thing that I personally would like to get is

Several days ago I made a post about Inglot shadows and I know that a lot of people want to know how they are compared with MAC shadows.

I don’t know what’s the point in comparing everything with MAC but here is the photo for those who are curious. My friend Monika wrote that her Inglot shadows fit perfectly in MAC palette and you can see that for yourself here

The MAC eyeshadow quad is from Make-Up Art Cosmetics and is € 41 while the Inglot shadows are € 13 and I picked up the colours myself. I like MAC eyeshadows (although the colours in Notoriety Eyeshadow Quad is nothing special and it was not worth my money) but Inglot eye shadows are not worse.

And what do you think? Do you compare everything with MAC? Did you try Inglot shadows? Would you compare them with MAC? If you never tried Inglot shadows – don’t worry, I will have a giveaway soon

Give me prim. Give me proper. In this colorful collaboration, M·A·C celebrates Liberty of London‘s most famous prints. Bloomingly lovely!

Do you know that this collection is already available online? (Nordstorm) What do you think about it? It will be in Europe in April and I actually really like some items and it’s been awhile since my last purchase from MAC.

Be sure to check out all the details online. You will be able to get eye shadows, lipsticks, nail polishes, beuty powders, blushes.

Collection also includes makeup bags and scarf!

And here are the things that I personally plan to check out

This set was a part of MAC holiday collection but why I am writing about it now? And why am I writing about it anyway? You will find that out soon.

I love brushes with good quality and I guess a girl can never have too many brushes. Do you agree with me?   No matter what you think about MAC makeup you just have to agree that their brushes are amazing! But to get all brushes that you need you will have to pay a lot. And we all want to save some money, right? Pretty often MAC creates different sets of brushes and I am always tempted to buy them because they are so cheap. For e.g. 187 brush is $42.00 and here you get 5 mini brushes in a makeup bag for only $49.5

This is what this set includes and how the brushes look like:

Do-the-Trick Buff and Line Brush Set ($49.50)

• 168SE
• 187SE
• 209SE
• 219SE
• 252SE

So here is my opinion about MAC Brushes set and the comparison photo of  SE brush and a “normal” one
