MAC Patent Polish || BRAND NEW RELEASE!!

Ok, so I posted yesterday about the excitement I had because with free overnight delivery I was getting my Patent Polish today. Oh yea, sorry, hello beauties!! ;) Sometimes I get a little sidetracked. Well, UPS delivered my packages {ordered the prep and prime lip moisturiser as well} about 3:30pm today. I think there are a total of 12 shades to choose from. I chose the nude {I do not go outside of the box when it comes to my lips, they are ALWAYS nude} which is called 'Innocent'. I opened the box and it does look like all the pictures online. I have come to some pros and cons for this product but first here is a picture of my lips with nothing on them at all
As you can see my lips are pretty pigmented, and I hate it. So, after applying the Polish my lips look like this
Can you see how glossy that is? It has an amazing shine!! I am completely in love! When looking at the picture of the big lips and the rainbow effect of colors they have on them, I was skeptical. Think, ok now, it can't be that shiny. They totally blew my mind though. If I was into reds and plums I would absolutely get every color but seeing how I am just a nude kinda gal, I chose this color and just put an order in for their pasty lilac color in 'PatentPink'. 

I know that just about every company you can think of has a version of 'the chubby stick' {which I am pretty sure clinique was the first to come out with them} I can promise you 110% that you do not have anything in your collection similar to this. So if you are kind of on the fence about it because you already own so many of these kinds of lippies, you need to not think that. It is not true. This is the most unique piece of Heaven I own. It is not labeled as a 'balm', so the lasting power exceeds that of a balm or balm-stain. It has the opaqueness of a lipstick and the shine of a lipglass, minus any sticky feeling. This does not feel sticky on the lips at all, it feels like a moisturiser, which again, it is not even that. 

Have you tried these yet? What is your favorite color or which would you like to try?

Until next time,

New Products!!!!

Hello Beauties!! I hope you are having a fabulous day! I just wanted to come on here and share my happiness with ya’ll. Ok, so over the past couple months I have purchased a crap ton of new makeup, but I must say that the products I ordered this week have become my most anxious to get. I love MAC cosmetics with all my heart. Knowing that they are kind of over-priced {depending on what you are getting I guess} I try to minimize my purchases from them and only go completely kray-kray about once a year. So, anyways, even though I was super happy to get all my new lipsticks and lipglass products, foundation and powder, the order I placed last night has me on my toes ready and anxious for UPS to come tomorrow! They just released a NEW PRODUCT. They jumped on the ‘chubby stick’ bandwagon and introduced the Patentpolish Lip Pencil!! They have 12 colors and it is quite the variety. I got mine in the nudist color called ‘Innocent’.
M·A·C Patentpolish Lip Pencil is your new magic wand for lips, with a single swipe instantly achieving luscious shine. A unique blend of creamy emollients replenishes, keeping lips soft with an ultra-smooth texture that isn’t heavy or sticky. The pencil’s effortless twist-up application keeps things clean and mess-free, with no need to sharpen. Enjoy colour in a dazzling range of 12 new shades that stay bright and true on all skin tones.

They are absolutely stunning and if you are a lip junkie like myself, then you better go get you some!! I also ordered the Prep + Prime lip treatment which will also be here tomorrow. Today I received my Sheen Supreme Lipstick in the color ‘Supremely Confident’ and a tinted lipglass in ‘C-Thru’ just because I need all the Nude lipsticks I can get! It would probably be cheaper to put concealer on my lips but it looks better and fancier {because MAC has the best sleek packaging ever} to carry around a lipstick or gloss. I did order their lip erase but I am not a fan of that at all. The first and hopefully last MAC product I think is a FAIL.
There is one more purchase I am waiting on edge for, almost as much as my lip pencil. I put an order in from Sephora {which is having 5 free samples now instead of 3} yesterday and the order should be here Friday as well. I purchased an atomizer, just because, well, that is pretty self explanatory. BUT for $25 {tis crazy but from every review I heard it is worth every penny} was the Marc Jacobs Beauty Liplock Moisture Balm in the color ‘Makeout’. {I think it only comes in that one color}.


Doesn’t that look fancy?! I cannot wait. It supposedly takes away dry chapped lips. The only downfall to it is when warm weather hits, it melts very easy. I found out the hard way that so does MAC’s Crème D’Nude. That was my first ever MAC purchase and I had it about a day before it turned into a puddle of goop that I could no longer use. So I will be sure to keep this magical piece {I have high hopes} in a safe and cool place!
That is all for now beauties, I am going to be working on a post tonight of some products I have been using and my thoughts on them, so stay tuned for that!! I have been wanting to get it up for quite some time now.
I hope you are having and continue to have, the most amazing day ever.
Until next time,
