I'm trying to save my pennies at the moment so doing things that cost nothing at the weekend is my new hobby. However walks with the boy and prepping the weeks food isn't all that glamorous so a bright lip is adding that to my life. I'm so fed up of the constant rain and cold weather but a slick of this lipstick brightens up any day. Having a movie night in is much more fun when you've paired your PJ's with a bright red lip. I'm not sure why but it is.

MAC Pro Sculpting Cream - Accentuate

MAC Pro Sculpting Cream - Accentuate £17.50

Going to be honest I'm not a huge MAC convert - I've never enjoyed the store experience and a few products I've tried from them have been quite disappointing for their price tag. That mixed with the fact there isn't a single MAC counter in the whole of Southampton leaves me with little knowledge about most of their products overall and I often don't get the hype. The only thing I've been completely sold on is their lipsticks I'd have them all if I could... anyway ...  

The MAC pro sculpting cream is a cream to powder formula designed for sculpting and shaping the key features of your face. All of the shades in the range are neutral and go from this very light shade for highlighting into much deeper browns for contouring on a range of skin tones. I actually love this product and I'm so surprised to find it within the discontinued section on the MAC website. It's so so soft and is perfect for adding a really natural highlight to cheek bones and eyebrows. I so wish I'd picked up naturally defined or pure sculpture for contouring too as it blends effortlessly. I've worn it every single day since I bought it and it's absolutely perfect for picking up my cheekbones when I don't want an overly shimmery look. It also works really well with cream blushers as the two blend in so well. I really can't sing it's praises enough it is a welcome addition to my every day make-up routine and I will now be trying to get my mitts on one of the contouring shades before they disappear forever.

Somehow as winter is setting in I'm learning to tone down the tan - just. I'm still all over it for nights out and when I'm feeling a little sorry for myself but day to day work face is becoming a little more English winter rose. I feel like I'm getting into a bit of a make-up rut as writing out the products for this I realised I've pretty much worn all of these non-stop for weeks I might try and shake things up again soon... but I must say I do love all of the products featured in this post as they haven't left my everyday make-up selection for quite some time.
