Makeup Review: M.A.C. Cremesheen Lipstick in "Creme Cup"


My friend highly recommended this lipstick to me a little while ago, so I decided to check it out at the M.A.C. store in my mall. I went in, and immediately asked to see it, and fell in love. It's a gorgeous natural, light pink color - its basically the same as my natural lip color, so its great for every day looks. 

It is a little bit more expensive than drugstore lipsticks, but its only $15 so its still less expensive than NARS or other makeup brands from Sephora. It is the same quality though, in my opinion, and absolutely worth the money. From the color to the quality, I am sure I will be getting a lot of use out of this lipstick.


If you can get to a M.A.C. store I recommend picking this up! Of course you have to try the color on your hand first to make sure it works with your skin tone, but its a great quality lipstick.

Love,

Caro

Clothing Review: Topshop Longsleeve Cape Blouse in Nude

A little while ago, Topshop stocked this gorgeous Cape Detail Blouse, but unfortunately I wasn't able to get my hands on it before it sold out. So I scoured ebay for a month or two, looking for it or a similar item, when Topshop decided to quasi restock it. It doesn't have the same name, and it comes in a few different colors now, so I'm not sure if its the exact same one, but it has the same look and style to it.
 
Of course, I had to try it on when I went to New York and I was finally in a place with a full sized Topshop again. The material of it was fine, I don't really remember it being particularly amazing, but it wasn't cheap either, and the size of it was fine, if a little bit loose. I tried it on in nude, and so it was a little see through, but because there are two layers of fabric on the top half, it won't show your bra so long as you wear a nude colored one. It's definitely not for hot weather, even though it looks very light and airy, as its 100% polyester, but I'm also not sure how well it would wear underneath a jacket. It was incredibly flattering though, and really the only reason that I didn't buy it was because of the sleeves - I'm really, really, really short, and even though I tried it on in my normal size, the sleeves were way too long, and there was no way to roll them or hem them because its a blouse.
 
So, if you have short arms like me, you'll probably want to wait and see if Topshop comes out with a petite version. If not, I definitely recommend this blouse! Its very pretty and girly, and very flattering.


Love,
