Today I'm sharing with you my three recent investments to my makeup kit - may I add that these have changed the makeup game entirely for me!
First off, I bought the MAC Velvet Teddy matte lipstick. I know I know, how original Whitney! But honestly, it is the best lipstick I have bought yet! I actually hate lipsticks on myself, however I did start using a Maybelline lipstick a few months back which was more of a glossy type lipstick, but when MAC decided to open in a Debenhams near me, I could not resist! The lipstick stays on all day and I actually had a full 12 hours use out of it in work so yes, I do highly recommend buying yourself a MAC lippy! I think I'll have to do a MAC haul soon!
I also took a huge leap to actually order myself two Morphe palettes. I was so unsure on whether to invest in a Morphe palette as they are quite cheap and as I have sensitive skin I didn't know whether it would react badly with it. But for months I have seen and heard people saying how pigmented they are and that the formula of the shadows are really nice, so I just had to see for myself. I ordered the 35T and the 35P palettes. At first glance of both palettes, you could see just from looking at them how pigmented they are.
With these Morphe palettes you can create so many different looks and they are so easy to blend out! Although, one thing I would say is that because they are so pigmented, the shadows to tend to transfer under the eye, which isn't at all pleasant. So, I would recommend doing your eyes first before doing the rest of your make up, using a sort of fix spray or placing a piece of card or something under the eye so that the eyeshadow falls onto the card instead of your face.
Here are the swatches of each palette.
