Urban Decay Beached Bronzer Review

Hey everyone, 

Urban Decay have recently released some new Summer products, including bronzers, highlighters and a new foundation. Urban Decay are one of my favourite make up brands, and I've been looking for a new bronzer so I thought I'd try this one out! 

There are two shades; 'Bronzed' and 'Sunkissed', Bronzed is slightly darker and targeted at medium/dark skin tones, whereas Sunkissed is lighter and aimed at lighter skin tones. I got mine in the shade 'Sunkissed' as I have fairly pale skin. 

I was a little apprehensive of what kind of colour the product would be as I hadn't seen it as person, as I bought it online. It is a little more orangey than I would usually like, however, once you blend it into the skin, it looks so natural and gives you a really nice 'sunkissed' glow!

The formula of the product is so creamy, which means that it is really easy to blend to create a natural look, and it's definitely one of the creamiest bronzers I own. The product retails at £20, which is quite expensive, and I'm currently not sure if it's worth it as I've only had it a few days, put I'm loving it so far!

As the bronzer is slightly more orangey than I expected, I thought I would do a comparison to two of my other favourite bronzers. Hoola bronzer by Benefit is my favourite bronzer and it has a lot of a cooler undertone, however, the Bourjois bronzing powder is slightly more of a darker orange. 

I'm overall loving the formula of this bronzer, with how creamy it is and how easy it is to blend, and how natural it looks. However, I'm not 100% in love with the colour, but once its on the skin it isn't as orange and I think it's partly just because I'm so used to the cooler undertones of the Hoola bronzer! I think this product will be so nice in summer when I have a tan. 

Let me know if you've tried any of the new Urban Decay Summer products, and if you like them! I definitely want to try one of the highlighters next!

Nude Mac Lipstick Collection

Hey Guys!

Today I thought I would share my nude Mac lipstick collection. I only have 5 nude Mac lipsticks, so it isn't a massive collection but I thought I'd show you all anyway!

I have a mixture of finishes of nude lipsticks, I have 3 matte, one Satin and one Amplified Creme. They're in the shades: Blankety (Amplified Creme), Cherish (Satin), Honelove (Matte), Velvet Teddy (Matte) and Whirl (Matte).

Mac lipsticks retail at £15.50 and in my opinion they are 100% worth the money! I absolutely love the formula of all of the lipsticks, and they smell amazing too! I only bought my first Mac lipstick in July 2015 (which was Velvet Teddy), and since then I've just wanted more because of how much I love them! 

My most recent purchase has been Blankety which is the lightest shade out of all of them, and it's an Amplified Creme. Because it's an Amplified Creme, it has the same pigmentation of a Matte lipstick, however, it's so much more creamy. Blankety has definitely become my favourite nude lipstick!

The darkest nude lipstick I have is Whirl and it can be a bit too dark sometimes, I find it quite hard to pull off sometimes, especially as it's matte as well, and its definitely a better shade for the winter months and for going out. 

I hope you enjoyed reading about my Nude Mac lipstick collection, if you have any Nude lipstick recommendations for me to try please comment them below!
