Mac All About Orange Lipsticks| Flamingo, Razzledazzler and Sushi Kiss



I have to confess that I have an obsession for lipsticks no matter what brand or colour I just love them!! I think it is one of the best make up products that just light up your face!
Recently Mac launched their All About Orange Collection and oh boy was I excited! I love orange lipsticks and since I have been hooked on Mac lipsticks recently I had to get my hands on some of them.
This collection from Mac has 7 lipsticks ranging from light peaches to neon oranges. Since I already have quite a bit of orange lipsticks in my collection I thought it would be wiser to get the neutral shades because Mac lipsticks can be a bit heavy on the wallet.

So here I have and in love with three gorgeous shades from the Mac All About Orange Collection and they are  Flamingo, Razzledazzler and Sushi Kiss.

(L-R) Flamingo,Razzledazzler,Sushi Kiss

Flamingo is the pinkest of the lipsticks in the whole collection and is a lustre finish. It is gorgeous creamy pink colour with some hint of coral somewhere hidden in it. If you are not the orange/coral fan then this suits the best! Its creamy and applies smoothly. On me it looked like a perfect pinky nude shade that made me look healthy and give that really nice glow! The good thing about them is that the colour can be built up as one likes!

Razzledazzler is also a lustre finish therefore it is glossy. It definitely has more peachy tone to it and I am wearing it as I am writing about it. I feel it very hydrating like all the lustre finish lipsticks. It can be worn as a gorgeous nude colour that gives a hint of peaches and looks oh-so-natural. I just love it!

Sushi Kiss was more of like- should I or should I not lipstick. But since it was a Satin finish which I prefer of all the other finishes from Mac, and also since it was raved about so much I went with the decision of getting it! And I am so pleased I did so. Its super opaque, pigmented and stands out so much. It is so unique to any of the lipsticks that I own. Its described as a mid tone coral and yes it does give that hint of orange mix with coral. I don't know why but all I can think of when wearing is a Salmon Sushi..lol..!!But yeah it is gorgeous and I will treasure it forever!!

OMG...Emma Hardie Amazing Face Moringa Cleansing Balm!!

Believe it or not the Emma Hardie Amazing Face Moringa Cleansing Balm had been on my wish list for I don't know how long! I had heard nothing but amazing reviews about it. So when I did actually thought of getting one myself...it was out of stock on every single website! ARRR...really annoying!!

Finally Space NK had brought it back in stock so I had to dive in! It cost me £34.00 and free P&P which I think is a bit on the expensive side as it is only 100 ml. However, I made the plunge and I am just so happy I did.

Starting off, the bottle looks way smaller than I had seen on You tube video reviews or the website, maybe it was a different size I'm not sure. Anyway, I had to use the product straight away to just see what the hype was all about.



It is true that a little goes a long way as just a little bit of the balm, mixed with few drops of warm water is required for the whole face. The texture feels  really good. This is the first ever cleansing balm that I have ever used and I just enjoyed it. However, I did not really like the fact that I had to dip my fingers into the bottle every time I had to use it, maybe because I am used to using cleansing products from tubes or bottles with pumps. Also, it did not come with a muslin cloth so I had to use my own, which I think is a bit unfair for the price it is!


However, it smells amazing, calming and soothing. Enriched with  Moringa seeds, Wild sea fennel and Vitamin E, it really helps to break down the make up and leave a clean and soft skin.You can really feel the difference when using gel cleansing products and this balm cleanser! Just mix a little of the cleansing balm with a few drops of water, massage it on the face and neck area, then just use a muslin cloth to wipe it all off. Simple,job done! Afterwards, I use cold water to wash my face. It does make my face feel plumper, healthier and clean!


Especially if you use heavy make up or in a regular basis I would definitely recommend this product! Also it is suitable for anyone who would like to use this just as a cleansing product in their skin care routine like me!

Since I bought it from Space NK I also received two free samples of Eve Lom Moisture Mask and Living Proof full thickening hair cream. I haven't tried them yet but I surely will and review about them!



For now, my verdict on the Emma Hardie Amazing Face Moringa Cleansing Balm is : a brilliant product worth buying!! So go ahead and try it out .!Here is the link to Space NK page for this product:
