emmalanglands: MAC

Hey everyone sorry I haven't been as active as I was last year, I have lack motivation and I have had a writers block. January and February are quite boring months so I wasn't sure what to write. But after having a look through my blog, one of my favourite posts from last year was 'Top Five For Lips'.

Reading through I have realised my lip collection has expanding majorly and I have a whole new set of lips products that I have loved.

This time however, I have an awkward number in 7! I can't decide between these so I am including them all. Little fact about me, my favourite number is 7 so it kinda makes me happy. Enjoy.

Number one has to be Kylie Jenner's lip kit in the Shade Koko K.

It was top of my list when this new shade came out to purchase and I am so happy with it. The colour itself has to be one my favourite lip shades. I think it works very well with my skin tone.

I love how it applies to lips and also how long it lasts! Props to Kylie on her new products!!

YSL Glossy Lip Stain No.17 After being totally obsessed with the YSL packaging and wanting to get my hands on their products, I was super exited to find this. This colour is a pretty baby pink and with my obsessed with pink lips (as you will see ) I am completely in love!

It is a bit brighter to be classed as a nude, but I find it very easy to wear on an everyday basis.

I will say after buying the KJ lip kit I have realised it doesn't stay on as long but still amazing!

Mac Frost in 'Angel' I actually picked this up in an make-up outlet in Florida back in July and have been in love ever since. I tend to stick to the pink nude lipstick and this ticks all the boxes.

It works well my skin tone even though I have pale skin, and gives a gorgeous natural lip for an everyday make-up look. This is a perfect shade for me if I am going to work.

It has to be one of my favourites Mac lipsticks!!

Mac Patent Polish Lip Pencil 'Make Me Proud' Again a very natural pink nude shade. I actually seen this whilst in Paris back in October in Sephora but unfortunately it was sold out, so my sister Sarah found it in the UK and gave me it as a Christmas gift this year!!

It is very similar to Angel but it is a lot more glossy and gives a great shine!!

Similarly, it is perfect for an everyday look!

Mac Creme-sheen 'Naked Proof' Just like Angel I picked up this up in the Outlet in Florida! This was part of a set which I believe was by Rebecca Moses a few years ago!

I wasn't sure if I was gonna love this product or not. It isn't majorly out my comfort zone but I normally go with pinks, where as this is more off a coral shade.

I normally pair this with the liner that came in the kit, Boldly Bare, Which I absolutely love.

Bobbi Brown Art Stick 'Dusty Pink' If you had read my last post you'll know that Bobbi Browns Pale Petal is my all time favourite shade!! But I wanted to find the matte shade rather than a Gloss and I did!! Like the last two I found this in the Outlet and it is ideal.

It might be a shade darker but it is perfect. If I want a basic make-up look but not a nude lip this is what I reach for!! It stays on my lips for a long time and gives great colour!!

And lastly, Dior Addict Lip Maximiser Like I have mention before I have pretty small lips, but I have really done anything to them. Except now, I haven't really believed in Lip Plumper or anything like that! Why would anyone want to sting there lips? But this has changed my mind. It has made a small difference in my lips. I know that gloss itself makes lips look better but I feel it does it job! It feels nice on my lips and gives me a bit more confidence.

Let me know what your favourite Lip Products are? Also let me know what kind of posts you want me to post!! Would be much appreciated!

Working in retail the hours are all over the place, so there are occasion where I will be doing a hella early shift. i.e. before sunrise. Getting out of bed is my main priority so I thought I would share what products I use for a 15 minute make-up look.

First of all to save me making a noise, waking my family I use this stunning Zoeva Rose Gold make-up bag (Review here). It helps keeps all my items together and its easy access in the morning.

BASE

An early starts means I don't want the hassle of putting on foundation so I use my Collection Concealer all over my face and use my Beauty Blender to blend it in my face, I have to use a good amount to cover up.

I will the apply the concealer again under eyes and any spots or flaws on my face. Again I use my beauty blender to blend the concealer in. I purchased my Beauty blender whilst I was in America in Sephora and I absolutely love it.

POWDER & BRONZER

Powder is next, I use my trusty Stay Matte powder all over my face using my Real Techniques Powder Brush. As powder does it keeps my face less shiny and help hold the concealer in place.

Next is bronzer, bronzer is something I never leave the house with out so I use my Mac Natural Finish in Medium to give a natural contour, I use my Zoeva brush Cream Cheek brush and give myself a simple contour under my cheekbones. I then will then pull it up contouring my either side of my face and then down contouring my jawline.

I don't bother with highlight or blush so that is my face done.

EYES

Mascara next, I use my Tweezerland eyelash curlers bought in Sephora (Haul here) and curl my eyelashes, I then use Maybeline the falsies first, then wait until it drys and the curl again and the apply Benefit Bad Gal lash. I may have to repeat a few times depending on how well my lashes go.

If I am having a good morning and have times I will use on of my Mac Prolong Paint Pot for quickness, I find them so easy and simple to use.

Lastly, I fill my brows. I use the shade 'Cover' from the Naked Basics 2 palette. I have been told it is the perfect for me, I fill them in with my Real Techniques eyebrow brush. I love how small this brush is, it means I can get great precision on the brows.

LIPS

For my lips, I tend to just put lip balm on but I have been loving Revlon Colour Burst in the shade Elusive or Angel by Mac. Both are very pretty neutral shades.

....And thats me done. This would normally take around 15 minutes and is super easy.

Hey guys, sorry my posts have been a bit lack, as you know I am in America and I haven't had a lot of time to post.

Today I did, however, did a lot of shopping! Two main shops I went into where Mac and Sephora so I thought would share what I bought!

I'll start with Mac as I only bought I few things. The first thing I picked up was a Single eyeshadow in the shade Phloof.

It is a gorgeous white/cream shimmer which I am so excited to use as my under brow highlight!!

The second thing I purchased was this pretty PlushGlass is the shade PrettyPlush. I am loving gloss and I am so excited to use it.

I then went all out in Sephora.

Nars Sheer glow is my all time fav foundation so I had to pick it up. It's in my shade, Mont Blanc.

Eyelash curlers were my next purchase. I really needed to upgrade, I found that beautiful Rose Gold ones. I'm obsessed.

The next items were something that I was really looking forward to buying. When I visited Milan in October last year I picked a Taupe Eye Crayon and absolutely loved it. So I picked up a lighter Brown in the shade Cafe au Light and the most prettiest gold shade Beige.

I am 100% looking forward to trying these out.

The last two items were picked up at the till point. I guess that is why they are there, to sucker to you in.

The first thing I was drawn too was the mini Orgasm and Laguna Bronzer combo. I have always wanted to try both so I felt this would be perfect to test them out. It is the perfect travel size and I am super happy.

The last but certainly not least was Make-Up Forever sens'eyes. I'm.not sure whether it's the heat or the sun cream or both but my eyes have been super sore and stingy so I decided I would try this out. I have used it tonight and it worked pretty well. It has definitely stopped the sting.

Hope you enjoyed this mini haul. I am on holiday and I have been saving so I am super excited about my purchases.

Like I said I am sorry I haven't posted much but it has been busy busy busy.

Thanks for your patience.

Love Emma

Happy Sunday!! It's unreal how excited I am about the fact I am doing my June favs! I say this every month but how on earth are we half we through the year. My holiday and birthday are so close and I can't believe it. This month I only have gathered a few favourites.

Number one, The Fab Pore moisturiser. I have been looking everywhere for a good moisturiser. I have really combination skin so i find it difficult to find one that didn't break me out and doesn't make me oily.

I went for Soap and Glory again since they have done wonder to my skin. It absorbs quickly into my skin and makes my make-up apply nicely. It has Poreshrink -12h which is very gentle on my skin, Superfruit Yuzu which helps tones and brightens my skin, it has also helped with my break out.

Another product I have loved for my skin is the Clearasil Rapid Action Scrub. I use this in the morning and after I take my make-up off. It makes my skin feel so soft and very clean. I love Clearasil products and just like Soap and Glory products they do amazing things to my skin.

Having good exfoliated skin is key in the summer. Both on the face and on the body. So my third fav is the Soap and Glory Sugar Crush Body Scrub. The smell is super summery and fresh. I seen it in Tanya burr latest video and had to try it. Having used Fake Tan this month I need a great body scrub/ exfoliater. This is perfect and is deffo a must have this summer.

The fourth thing I have been loving is Miley Cyrus Viva Glam lipstick.

I purchased this back in February when the collection came out. I wasn't sure whether I could pull of the bright colour but I absolutely love it. It is such a fun party colour. I absolutely adore the texture of this lipstick, it last for quite a long time and looks amazing.

The last thing I HAVE to mention is TAYLOR SWIFT. Seeing her last Tuesday has made me love her 100x more (if that is possible). Her songs, performance, personality.. Aka everything is perfect. If you get a chance to see her live I woken highly recommend!!! If you want to see what I make-up I wore I did a blog post here.

Like I have mention 100x I am going on holiday very soon,

I will try to keep this blog updated as much as possible.

I am hoping to blog when I am in America but it may only be once a week.

I will keep you posted.

Let me know your June favourites?

Hey lovelies, so I was lucky enough to see Taylor Swift last night in Glasgow.

I thought I would do something a little different and I would show you what make-up products I I wore. Unfortunately I never got a picture of my make-up, but these are the products.

Left -Right. Top-Bottom

The Fab Pore by Soap and Glory.

I finally found a perfect moisturizer for my skin. It is amazing.

Mac Natural Finish Powder in Medium.

I use this for my bronzer and it gives a very natural contour

Mac Cinderella Highlighter.

This gives the prettiest shimmer on your skin.

Two Faced La Belle Carousel.

I used Angel Hair and Haute Chocolate. Angel Hair is a gorgeous gold for all over my lid as well as on my lower lash, while I used Haute Chocolate in my crease.

Mac Hip'n'Happy Lip Liner.

Nake Two Basic Palette
Cover is a perfect shade for my eyebrows. I get a lot of compliments on them whilst using the colour.

Mac 'Blush Baby' Blush.
This blush matches my natural skin tone perfectly.

Nars Sheer Glow in Mont Blanc (Light 2)
This has to be my all time favourite foundation.

Collection 2000 Long Lasting Concealer.
My holy grail concealer.(When it isn't sold out).

Benefit Bad Gal Lash.
This is not always my go to mascara but last night it worked perfectly.

Topshop Gel Liner.
I am not the best at the wing eyeliner right now but I do love this as it is super easy to apply, and gives a great look.

And Lastly Lush Bubblegum Lip scrub.
This really helps moisture my lips.

Like I mention this was Taylor. It was such a great night!! She is such a kind and down to earth person and if more people where like her the world would be a better place.

I don't get a lot of photos but here is my favourite. After waiting six years to see her, She was incredible, it was definitely worth the wait.

Big appreciation to Taylor, if you ever get the chance to to her perform live I would HIGHLY recommend it.
What is your ' MOTD'?
What artist are you loving right now?
See you Sunday.

Everyone has their beauty essentials or their go to make-up!! I'm certainly not any different, These are my beauty essentials I could not live without....

Nars Sheer Glow.....

I purchased this in the middle of 2014 and has been my favourite foundation ever since, trying to find a good coverage foundation that doesn't go cakey is hard but this is perfect!! I would say it has medium to high coverage but you can certainly build. It leaves my face looking very smooth...

Eye lash curlers.

I have red, ginger, strawberry blonde hair.. Which means my eyelashes are super light!! This gives me really nothing to work with, on top of that I have no curl to my eyelashes... I own Models Own eyelash curlers as well as a heated eye lash curler...I can't leave the house without either one of them. Both do a really good job on my eyelashes, making them the best they can be!!

Mascara

To enhance my short, light, non-curly eye lashes I need to use a great mascara. Like I said in my March favourites I use Maybeline the Falsies!! It has been a staple in my make up collection last month. Two coats maybe three aswell as using my curlers do the best job ever!!!!!

Collection 2000 Concealer is a god send!! I rely on this concealer so much. It gives great coverage and is so easy to appply. I use it to highlight and if I am having a particularly good face day, I will use it as my base,I have heard and seen a lot of Beauty Youtubers talk about this and I can definitely see why they love it.

Bronzer, like I said in my make addict tag I couldn't live without bronzer!! I honestly love the way it can complete and change your face!!! My must have bronzer is Mac Natural Finish in medium!! I have fair skin so this really does the job, it gives a natural coutour and a natural warmth. I also use MUA bronzer as an everyday bronzer, this is slightly darker but I would apply a little less,. Coming into the summer, Using bronzer will be great to give the warmth to your face.

Perfume..... you always have to smell nice right?!? Going to the shops or going out at night everything is better when you smell nice... I have quite a few perfumes but my essential is Chanel Chance, I was given this as a 16th birthday gift and ever since I have been given it atleast 3 times! It is 100% my favourite perfume!! Every day perfume I do love are Britney Spears-Curious and One Direction- Our Moment.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful Easter, eat as much chocolate as can and enjoy family time!!!....

The end of March has came around so quickly!! It doesn't feel a whole month since I wrote my February favs! I guess I am excited that it is coming into to spring... I am a Winter Girl but I am tired of the horrible weather.. So hopefully April will bring more sunshine... Fingers crossed!!

BEAUTY FAVOURITES

Falsies Maybeline Mascara- Now I purchased this a good while a go, it was my favourite mascara. I know that this is bad but I kept using the same tube that I had been for a while. It wasn't exactly doing its job and I didn't like it, but after finding a new one is my collection I started to re used it!!!

I absolutely love it, I have no curl to my eyes and this one does the job.. It has good coverage over the lash without going clumpy, the curved brush will always make my lashes look very long... It is my go to mascara this month and I think it will continue for a long time!!

Lush lip scrub Bubblegum- I have heard amazing things about this product for a very long time but never really got round to buying it. I guess I never real needed it, but over the last two months my lips have been really bad.. Really dry and sore. So I thought I would bite the bullet and purchase it...

It is amazing!!!! You only really need a little bit into your finger and then apply to your lips and rub!!!! I believe it is like a exfoliater for your lips!! It makes my lips feel very soft and not to mention tasting incredible. The bubblegum flavoring adds a bonus as you can lick it off. Like my mascara I think it will be a lifelong favourite

Cinderella Highlighter.,,.

I had to mention one of these products.. as I purchased the Mac Cinderella collection at the start of the month.. I reviewed it here... And after using all the products this was my fav.. Like I said in the post I had been looking for a highlight for a long time and this is perfect! It gives a perfect subtle glow to the face and it is a definite in my everyday make up!!'

Random Favourites

This again is something I've had for nearly a year! I revived my Fujifilm Polaroid for my 19th Birthday last year and I am completely in love, but I have it really need using it for special occasions. But this moth k have used it a lot... I adore hanging them on my wall. I can't wait to take more!!!!

The food product I have been enjoying has been Almond butter. I am not a big fan of peanut butter but I did want something that I could spread on rice cakes or for a quick snack. So when I seen this in my supermarket I thought i would give it a go.

The best way I have it is on rice cakes, it adds a sweet flavour as a perfect snack, I always put half a spoonful into my porridge in the morning and again it gives a very sweet flavouring!!

It is also a lot healthier than peanut butter and I would totally recommend. All of course is GF

After watching the Hobbit with my family my favourite song is I See Fire-Ed Sheeran!

I am a massive fan of his and his album is always on repeats but this month I just can't stop singing this song.. The first part gets me every-time ...

Pretty Little Liars HAS to get a mention after the long awaited reveal if 'A'. I've loved PLL for over two years and I've became obsessed but the last season has been so nail biting. Season five has definitely been my fav... I can't believe we know and at the same time we don't know who a is.... I honestly can't wait until June!!!

Hope your having a great day!!!

What are your March Favs?! What are your Pll theories?!

I don't know what I am more excited about, the products or being able to write this post!!! Okay, maybe the products... As you would have guessed from the title I purchased the MAC Cinderella collection.

Disney is one of my favourite things and now so is make-up so put them both together you get a winning combo... I have to say the whole collection was super pretty and if I could, I would have bought everything. But I limited myself and really got the things that I need.

The first product I bought was the Studio Eye Gloss - Lightly Taupe.

At the moment I am getting into experimenting with my eye makeup so I thought this would be perfect for my collection. I have never tried an eye gloss before so I was very intrigued. It is scary opening and realizing that it is a gloss form but it does, however, sits very nice on your eyelid.

I love how the colour is very subtle and could be used on its own as an everyday lid but also could be layered on top for a more 'going out' look. I particularly love that if caught in the right light it does give a beautiful shimmer.

The second product Cinderella Glitter - Reflects Pearl.

I was super excited about this as I have been looking for a glitter that I could use under my brow and as a highlight, I think in the rush to actually pick what I wanted from the collection I never realized that this product was not actually safe for the eye but for the face body and hair...

Aside from that, I am absolutely in love with it, it is super sparkly and with the right base, it could, in fact, go on my eyes. I am really excited to use this product.

The last product I picked up a Cinderella Beauty Powder in Mystery Princess.

This has to my favourite out of them all and it was the one I did needed the most. I have been looking for a highlighter for a long time and this really caught my eye.

The colour is very subtle and is described as a "pink beige with silver shimmer.". Like I said I use this as a highlight, I think it gives a light shimmer to your face. I am very happy that this is now part of my collection.

Overall. I loved the products. I also think that the packaging in gorgeous and represents Cinderella very well. I would highly recommend all these products, Big shout out to my friend Keira for ordering these for me!!

Let me know in the comments if you purchased any of MAC Cinderella Collection?
