Back to M.A.C

Back in the UK helping the environment is considered very important, whether it be campaigns for car sharing to reduce toxic emissions, recycling bins for every object under the sun or reducing the amount of electricity consumed in a household, so you may as well be sat by candle light. 
Lets be honest.... where do we ever see that in Qatar?  Everyone drives around in 4x4's, I have never seen a recycling bin (except in Katara) and fairy lights are plastered over houses like Blackpool at Xmas! So I was very happy to discover that Back to M.A.C is in full swing here.
Now if you have never heard of Back to M.A.C, it's very simple.  Take ANY six primary packaging containers into a M.A.C store, for recycling! VoilĂ .... You've helped help the environment for the day.... still not convinced/can't be bothered?!....  Perhaps this will sway your decision? For your efforts, you get a free lipstick of your choice! 
I am a huge fan of this, mainly because I  lipstick!  I could not live without it! 
For an everyday colour I am a huge fan of M.A.C's 'Snob', and I had conveniently just run out, so was determined to pick the same colour.  But once there and distracted by all the pretty colours, I thought I would try something else.  Now if you have ever seen me about or stalked my instagram, you'll have probably noticed I wear ridiculously bright lips a lot of the time, so on this occasion I thought I would opt for something a little more subtle.  
My usual lip attire
Let me just say... When I tried on a nude colour, it was far too drastic an action than I had wanted to take, so I asked the lady for one with a bit more pink in it! And ended up buying 'Creme Cup'.
Creme Cup
I absolutely love this colour, not too dissimilar from 'Snob', a little less bright, and can actually pass for a nude. The texture of the lipstick is delightful, creamy with a slight shine, with it being from the cremesheen collection has a lovely moisturising effect.
In the picture below I used 'Creme Cup' lipstick, with a Dior lipliner '593 Brown Fig' finished off with, Dreamweave LipVoltage lipgloss for a little extra shine and plump!

    1. Hello! Thanks for your kind comment!

      I am a huge fan of M.A.C foundations, as it is great for my sensitive skin. I am using their Pro Longwear foundation NC40 with Studio Finish concealer NC20 for the highlights (See our contouring blog).
