Review: Mac Sheene Supreme Lipstick in Fashion City

L wrote a few weeks back about her Mac purchases when we went for a make over before a night out for her birthday. I love getting my make up done in Mac they do such a great job. I really wanted to get Sunny Seoul lipstick but it had sold out. 

Instead I picked up my first Sheen Supreme lipstick. I'm so glad that Sunny Seoul had sold out as I love this lipstick and love this formula. The sheen supreme lipsticks have different packaging to the normal formulas and I prefer it. It's still kept to the sleep black with white writing but this packaging is metal. I prefer this as it's more secure as I've cracked a few or the normal Mac lipstick lids meaning I can't keep them in my handbag anymore.

I picked up the shade Fashion city. It's an orange, peachy type of shade. I really love this. It's not normally a shade I'd go for. I tend to stick to pinks, reds and nude shades.

The Sheen Supreme formula reminds me of the Revlon Lip Butters. It almost melts onto the lips and isn't dragging onto them.

It does have a different bullet shape (the MUA told us once we get to the bottom use a lip brush as there is about an extra third left in there when you think it's run out) I find it just as easy to apply with this shape.

It's quite a sheer almost glossy lipstick. I've been wearing it all the time since I got it as it's perfect for day time. It also works great paired with a smokey eye for a night out.

Taken with flash, excuse my messy application. The shade on the lips is very moisturising. I like the glossy finish too it as lately I'm finding nude shades look better on me with a subtle glossy finish.

In natural light you can see the orange tones to the lipstick more. I think this shade would look great on anyone and it's great to have in the handbag as it goes with most make up looks. The Sheen Supreme lipsticks cost £14.50 so they are 50p more than the normal ones. I love the formula though so can't wait to get more of them.

Here's my make up from the night out. My lashes hadn't stuck properly on the corners or the eyes so you can see that, but I love the combination of the purple smokey eye with Fashion City. How gorgeous is L's make up! I've been rocking coloured liner a lot since this. You can see my current favourite one here.

I loved how she did my brows. They looked so amazing!!! I really need to get a new brush for my brows I think and practice more on them. What brush do you use for your brows?

As I was wearing a black dress I went with a purple toned smokey eye, I can't wait to try this look out again. I think L and I will be visiting Mac for Make Overs again soon!!
Have you had the Mac Make Overs? We always love ours!! Have you tried the Sheen Supreme lipsticks? Do you prefer them to the other finishes?

Spending Ban Update 10

It's April already. How quickly is this year speeding by. My spending ban will soon be over officially but let's start by saying this week has been a really bad week for me!! I've been naughty with spending. The ban is almost over and I really need to add on a few extra weeks.

This week was L's birthday. I already had a dress so thought I'd get away without spending money! After searching through my shoes I really wanted a new pair that was actually going to be comfy. On Thursday it was ladies night in our local shopping centre. Loads of the shops offer discounts and there were cute stalls all around offering things like Pimms and Snow Cones. New Look had 25% off and knowing there shoes are usually comfy I headed there.

I picked up these wedges for around £15. They were so comfy. I was in them for around 8 hours in the end and did plenty of dancing and had no blister. I want them in all colours now!

I had planned on neon accesories and was borrowing a bag off L and her nail varnish so wanted a bracelet to tie it all together. I love the bright colour on this one and with discount it was only £3

While in there I couldn't resist one more bracelet. This leaf one was under £4 with discount.

Also on ladies night I popped into River Island. I had a voucher left over from Christmas so didn't actually break the ban for these. I had literally just been talking to L about this necklace before we walked into the shop. I had this necklace around 5 years ago and wore it till it fell to pieces. I took it as a sign and bought it in Silver and Gold, They were £6 each and are a great easy to wear statement necklace! I've still got a bit on my gift card and I'm currently eyeing up a jumper I've seen.

Lastly we had our Mac makeovers ready for L's night out. ~I stated in a previous spending ban I'd spent £30 on this. So on the day I only spent an extra £2.60 so it wasn't too bad (luckily it was a 10% off time). There was so much more I wanted to get but I tried to be good and get sensible purchases.

Eyeshadow in Naked Lunch for £12. This was to replace Bootycall in my Naked 2 palette as I've hit pan on it.

I also picked up a Shine Supreme Lipstick in Fashion City. These remind me of the Revlon lip butters. They give a glossy finish with a moisturising colour. It was £14.50. Which is more than a normal lipstick but you do get 3.6g of product instead of 3g.

I love the finish of these and will definitely be looking at what other colours they do.

So that's my very naughty week. Though I only spent around £28 so not quite as bad as it seems. Need to get back on my spending ban and back onto saving. I definitely think I'll stick to it for a bit longer.

How are yours going?

Love M
