Sail La Vie

I know your probably thinking I'm a bit late talking about this, Ive had the 'Sail La Vie' MAC lipstick for a while now but have only really just got round to wearing it. I love red lipstick I think its an all round suits everyone kind of colour, obviously it comes in a whole range of shades and I think theres a perfect one for everyone out there. I know its not for the faint hearted as red stands right out on your face no matter what skin tone, but it can really lift your face and brighten your skin and teeth.

This lipstick was from another one of MAC's many limited edition ranges that's still in store, I don't always buy into the hype of these as they are always sold out and aren't always great colours for extra pale types like me. I also find that in the past I have fell in love with a limited edition product only to find Ive ran out and it has literally disappeared off the face of the earth.

Although as I said I stay away from the hype, when I was browsing in MAC I saw this and knew I had to have it. I managed to get my hands on the last one they had, so I know its probably become a staple in everyones makeup bag by now. The packaging is amazing I love the nautical stripes and it looks great when I whip it out on a night out. Its a satin finish which is great as it doesn't dry out my lips and has a good wearing time, I can usually go a good while without reapplying it. Its not a true red shade its wavering more on the orange side of red and is a pretty bright shade that goes with everything. I have put this with my night time lipsticks as I have tried it in the day but I find its a bit much for me, especially when I'm doing my Tesco shop. Do you buy into the limited edition hypes?

I'm also wearing my sample of the Ginvera BB Cream in this picture which I will blog about later. Its a little darker than I would usually use so excuse the slightly strange mask look to my skin.
