MAC Lipsticks - Freckletone and Syrup

Hi lovelies ! Lately I have been lipstick crazed so I picked up these two beauties from MAC! They are both Lustre finishes so you can wear them without any gloss on top and they still look glossy. The first one is a nude color for me, Freckletone. It is a pinky brown and does not make me look like I;m sickly. This is now my go to nude lipstick! The second one is Syrup, when I was looking at the lipsticks I wanted a pinky color that I could wear anytime and I fell in love with this one. It is more of a mauve color, however it looks great with my skin tone and this my go to lipstick, I throw it in my bag and reach for it all the time now! I really love the lustre finish lipsticks because they give you great color as well as moisture which is always great! I can't wait to try out more MAC lipsticks ! What MAC lipsticks, or any brand lipsticks do you guys like and prefer ?

MAC Mineralize Skin Finish - Cheeky Bronze

Hey guys! So in continuation from my last post about Global Glow, I ended up exchanging it for this highlighter, Cheeky Bronze. This one is more like Stereo Rose than the other one. This has more of a peachy/ rose gold hue to it while the other one was more of gold glitter. The pictures on the left are with the flash and the left is with no flash. I must say, this is my favorite highlighter right now. It gives me the glow I want and doesn't make me look like Edward in Twilight ! I think I like this one  much better because it is much closer to beloved Stereo Rose, but all in all I give it a 4/5 because it is a bit shimmery so you have to be very careful with it, but when done right, it gives you the most beautiful highlight. I think this would work well with medium brown skin tones like mine, I'm currently a NC42/ NC45. And just so you guys know i put it about where i put my blush and down my nose as well as above my cupids bow, for the perfect highlight!

MAC Mineralize Skin Finish - Global Glow Review

Hey guys ! So one day I was on MAC and I asked the girl about contouring, so she showed me. The product she used to highlight was the Mineralize Skin Finish in Stereo Rose, which I am IN LOVE with. However, unfortunately, shortly after i got it, it disappeared out of sight. Ever since then I have been looking for a replacement for my beloved Stereo Rose.

In my search I went into MAC again and the girl there recommended me to this highlighter, so I just bought it, without really thinking it about it. And here is my review on it:

To begin with, MAC changed the packaging on their products because this is a little harder to open than the Stereo Rose I had, which kinda made me upset but whatever, its about the product. When I swatched it originally in MAC, I loved the color and the look this gave off. However, after using it like 2 or 3 times, I came to realize that it didn't really do much for me other than  make it look like my face was all glittery. 

So in the end I did take it back, it was not beloved Stereo Rose. Don't get me wrong it is a great highlighter but it just wasn't for me.

I would give this product a 4/5 its great just not for me and my large pores.
