My Obsession With: MAC Love Thing Blusher

As you can probably tell I'm really loving red this season, maybe its the post christmas depression still lingering inside me or maybe it's just because red is a great colour! 

This blusher caught my eye at the MAC stand back in November, but just my luck they didn't have it in stock. After going back to Hong Kong for christmas I had a lot of time to think, do I really need another blusher? Of course my answer was yes, so in early January I picked up Love Thing. 

And oh my, I really do love this thing (excuse the cheesy pun), the red is such a gorgeous wine red with specs of gold and sparkle, once I brought it, I kept taking it out the bag and staring at it. 

What I love most about MAC colours, is that they are so pigmented that you only need the slightest touch with a brush to get enough to colour your cheek. As you can see the blush sits beautifully on pale skin, making you look and feel like an old Hollywood movie star. 

Without a doubt this is my favorite product for January, I think red is perfect for the colder months so you stand out against the grey gloom. It may not be as suited for the summer months, but theres always next year.  

This product is a little pricey at £20, but you'll get load of use out of it! xx 

My Obsession With: Red Lipstick

Whether it's a lunch date or a night out, red lipstick is suited for any occasion, its easy to dress down or dress up. Paired with heels and a little black dress your lipstick gives your outfit a classy touch but with leggings and a denim shirt your lips make a colourful statement. 

Personally I prefer to wear red in the winter season, as it makes a cheerful and bright contrast from the dull wintery weather. 

Here are my two favorite red lipsticks to help me survive the cold, 

On the left is Chanel Rouge Coco number 21, on the right MAC Fresh Moroccan 

Rough Coco 21

This lipstick gives you a solid pure red look, making your lips look bigger and more noticeable. It's surprisingly bright so its best to pair it with natural makeup and let your lips speak for themselves. 

Fresh Moroccan 

This lipstick has a little more sparkle and has a modern twist on the vintage classy red lip look. It has a slight orangey tone to it so paired with a smokey eye look this lipstick glamorizes any outfit. 

So grab yourself a red lipstick an stun any crowed this winter xx
