Review│♥M·A·C Rebel Lipstick♥

Yay its Saturday, hope your having a magical weekend!♥
I want to share with you all my thoughts on M·A·C's Rebel that I purchased earlier in the week.
I am in love with this! I never normally wear lipstick and if I do its a very nude colour, so I thought I'd be daring and get a darker colour that I wouldn't really go for and see if I could pull it off.

I brought this from my M·A·C counter in Debenhams, it retailed at £15.00. Some may think this is alot of money but its so worth it! 

It came in this black packaging. I love the packaging that M·A·C provides for thier products and I always keep them to store them in, so when I am finished my lipstick I can stack them and keep them neat and tidy.

I absolutely love the colour of this lipstick. I'm so so in love and it was so worth every penny. It's a very deep purple but with a hint of pink in it. I personally think it looks much darker in the tube compared to when you actually put it on your lips, but the product is buildable. The more product you put on, the more darker it goes. It also has a satin finish so it gives a beautiful shine on the lips. I've also noticed with this lipstick, if you put a slight amount on your lips too, this also acts as a lip tint which I love also. 

The reason why I love this product, other than the colour, is it last so long on my lips! I woke up at 9am today, I put this lipstick on and its 3.30pm and it still is on my lips. Ive had lunch, had drinks and even gave my boyfriend some kisses and it is still as it was when I applied the lipstick this morning and I haven't had to retouch on my lips with the product! I did however, before putting the lipstick on, apply some concealer onto my lips to give the lipstick a bit of hold and after I applied I added some translucent powder over the top to stop it from smudging. This may of been a help for the product to stay on my lips, but I have tried the lipstick another day without applying concealer and powder and it lasts a long period of time.

I honestly cant get enough of this lipstick!

I defiantly recommend this lipstick to you all who want to try something new and dark!

♥My Estée Lauder Counter Experience♥

Happy Thursday! Hope your having a wonderful day!♥
Yesterday I went into town to treat myself to some new make up. I was so excited as I was going to get the Estée Lauder Double Wear Foundation as many youtubers and bloggers gave so many good reviews about the product. This was my very first Estée Lauder product I've ever brought and so this is the first time I've ever had an experience at their counter. So I thought I'd share with you all my first counter experience.

I went into Debenhams, a department store, and I went to the Estée Lauder counter, where we waited about 10 minutes to find out there wasn't a make up artist to do a consultation and match me up with foundation colour for about 2 hours! So we went to a different store.

We went to John Lewis, I had never been in this store before so I didn't know my way about but I soon found the make up department. I found the Estée Lauder counter and I was soooooo impressed! As soon as I got to the counter the make up artist asked me if I needed any help. I told her I wanted to buy the Double Wear Foundation and that I've never tried the product before so I needed a colour match! She was so so lovely, she told me to sit on the chair. She asked if I wanted the foundation to match my skin colour exact or if I wanted to go a little bit darker. I always like my foundation just that little darker then my skin tone. She matched me to the foundation in the shade '1W1 BONE' I was so so happy with the bit of foundation she put on my jaw/neck and the colour looked amazing and it felt so smooth and light on my skin! So I told her I was very happy and I would like to purchase the foundation. 

This was the part I was very impressed with. When I was paying for the foundation, she gave me a little pot of the foundation and told me to use all the tester pot before I open the proper foundation to make sure I like the shade and if it is the correct colour. I was so so so so impressed! I have never had another company give me a tester pot like that before. I just thought this was a really good idea because she said if the colour wasn't correct she could change the shade for me! And she also gave me a sample of their new perfume! I felt very very happy and I couldn't wait to get home and try it out. I know for sure I will be purchasing another make up product from Estée Lauder in the future! 

Whats your favourite brand of make up?
