My MAC Lipstick Palette

 Hi Lovelies... as you know I resently depoted all my mac lipsticks, since I did this I have been asked to do a post on all my lipsticks in the palette, So I have decided to do that today.

So first of I used the mac duo palette with the 12 well insurts on each side to do this. The reson I decided on the 12 well and not the 24 well is because the 24 well seems to be very shallow and dose not hold alot of lipstick unlike the 12 well which will hold a full lipstick. these palettes are very handy and around chrismas time I will be making another one with my illamasqua lipsticks and also a cream foundation palette following this tuturial here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXNMeg6dVGc

anyways the reaon I decided to do this is because as a makeup artist I need more space and need to be able to take many colours on a job as you never know the photorapher might have a cirtin colour in mind of whatever and its not very praticle to carry around like 30 lipsticks at a time so this palette holds 24 lipsticks so it much easyer and takes up alot less space. 

so the way I have laid this palette out is by one side I have pinks and purples and the other is my nudes and reds, as you can tell there is 7 spaces in this palette these will be getting filled up soon though, also when I do the illamasqua palette I will be getting the single palette to use as I dont have as many illamsqua as mac. 

pinks and purples

purple from left to right - Cyber (satin), Reble (satin), Gose and gose (pro longwair), Evaning strole (casual lip and cheek colour), Violetta (amplified) 

Pinks from left to right - Impassioned (amplified), Girl about town (amplified), Show Orchid (amplified), lickable (cremesheen), Chatter box (amplified) 

 

Nudes and Reds

Nudes left to right - Fleshpot (satin), Viva glam gaga 2 (amplified), Madly Creative (frost)

Reds left to right - Morange (amplified), Retro (satin), Ruby Woo (retro Matte), Sin (matte) 

so thats them all if there is any colour you really think I need please comment down below.

How To Depot Lipsticks

What you will need!!!

I MAC duo palette (or another palette depending on what you want)

2 MAC 12 well insurts 

Your lipsticks (all of mine were MAC for this palette)

A stainless steal meshering cup

A spatula

A hob or a candle 

Step 1- Take a lipstick your wanting to depot and wind it up to the top the one im using is cyber. 

Step 2- cut the lipstick at the end then use a spatula to get the rest of the product out. you get alot of extra product in the bottom of these lipsticks so its quite handy to depot defo if your a mua.

Step 3- hold the stainless steal cup over the hop or candle and let it melt it might take upto a minute 

Step 4- let the lipstick totaly melt then pore it into the palette. 

Then if you wish take the labe of the lipstick and stick on to the palette. and your done... this dose take quite a while but I do think its worth it in the end. this 12 well palette take a whole lipstick too. 

So thats all my lipsticks now depoted and I now have anough for 3 more lippys from back to MAC so if you have any recomendations please do let me know what they are.. 

Illamasqua Velvet Blush Review And Giveaway

Hi lovelies, so you may have noticed I have not blogged in about a month, this is because I have had alot of personal things going on in my life, You may know that I moved down to edinburgh well I have actully moved back home now as I really didnt like it down there and it was not benifiting me at all, also on the 26th of august we lost my grandad, my whole family was very close to him and he will be missed not just my us but by everyone who has ever met him, he was a funny and very caring man who never ever put you down. Love you grandad. 

Anyways that was the quick catch up so now im actully going to review the new Illamasqua Velvet blush in Peaked. 

Illamasqua Velvet blushes come in the same illamasqua packaging which I love, its the signiture illamasqua shape sleek black will illamasqua wrote on the front were you open it, Simple. Illamasqua Velvet blushes are kind of a cream formula but are a bit stiffer then cream and also they dry to a powder finnish which again I like. 

The colour peaked is a pretty kind of plummy pink I would say and I personaly think it would flatter any skin tone. 

again the formuala is a cream to powder finish but I personaly really dislike cream products but there is something different about this that makes me love it, On the face it glides smothly on with a real techniques expert face brush and it looks like a natural flush to the skin, I love using this blush on my models as I think its so perfect. Illamasqua have done an amazing job creating this new textured Velvet blushes

these blushes can be bought at any illamasqua conter or store or you can get them from the illamasqua online shop. they retail for £18 and are a perfect edition to your personal makeup collection or a makeup artists kit. I will defently be buying the other colour as this product is my new favorite blush. 

Have you tried the illamasqua velvet blushes yet? well now is your chance as I am giving away one of the illamasqua velvet blushes to a lucky person, you can pick between the Peaked blush or the sleek blush.
