The Best MAC nude lipsticks


Hello lovelies, so to kick off the new year on today's post I'll be sharing my all time favorite MAC nude lipsticks.  I know there are tons of options out there when it comes to nude lipsticks but these are the ones that work best for me. I'm able to wear these lipsticks with or without lip liner and that's mainly because the pigmentation of my lips is a little darker. However a lip liner doesn't hurt either.

By wearing a lip liner you expand the wear of the lipstick and you are also able to change the color a little bit to make it work for you! MAC some amazing lip liners to go with their many lipsticks.

So from left to right I have enchanted one (from the Alluring Aquatic collection), Naked Bud (from the fantasy of flowers collection), Kinda Sexy and Honey Love. Of these four I would say naked bud and honey love are my favorite. I love Naked Bud because it has a lustre finish, meaning it's sheer and moisturizing to the lips. So when I wear it I don't have to do much. It's one of those lipsticks you can just put it on and go and it really goes any any look I might create. 






Here is a swatch of the lipsticks. The thing with nude lipsticks is that you really have to try them on to see which one works for you. These have a warm undertone, so they work really well with my skin tone.

It's a Wet N' Wild Kind of Day


 In today's post I bring you a look created using Wet N' Wild's palette Blue Had Me At Hello. It has some beautiful colors, mostly blues, black and grey. I love this palette. The colors are so pigmented and VIBRANT! Wet N' Wild has definetely stepped up their game when it comes to the quality of their products. Now we can create beautiful looks for a littler over $5. There are other pallets as well and they are  just as gorgeous!

The only colors I used in this look that were not from the pallet were MAC Rice Paper and a bronzer to help me blend my crease. On the lips I am wearing Wet N' Wild matte lipstick in 902C. The blush I'm wearing is MAC Breezy.

So what do you think of this look? I actually really like. I've been wearing such boring makeup lately, that this has sparked me to do more of them this week :)

FOTD: Featuring Rimmel's Lipstick and Wet N' Wild Blush

So today I went to Walgreens to see if I could find any good deals on makeup. Long and behold all of the Rimmel's lipsticks were $2.99 so I got a bunch of them (I'll have a separate post for them) and nail polish as well. I really wanted a new blush so I picked up a blush from Wet N' Wild called "Heather Silk", which is a really pretty pink color. The lipstick I'm wearing is from Rimmel and is called "Dizzy" and I love it! It goes on very smooth and is super hydrating. 
On my eyes I am using a combination of random colors from my 120 pallet from Coastal Scents, and some false lashes (I can't live without them).
So I have a question. I used to do tutorials on youtube but have not done them in a while. Would you be interested in seeing how I achieve my looks? If so let me now in a comment bellow and I will make a video in the near future. Also check out my website www.ellejewels.com. You might just find something pretty for yourself.

Wet N' Wild Lipstick: Just Garnet (552A)

I am so in love with this lipstick. I got it a couple of weeks ago and can't stop wearing it. It's a deep red and it goes on so smoothly. I have been seen a trend lately of red lips, but not necessarily bright red, more like a plum color. So while searching for the perfect color at my local drugstore I found this one. Beautiful and affordable!


Red lips can be a bit of a stretch for some people. I know that I wasn't one to wear red lips until I discovered my FAVORITE red lipstick from M.A.C. which is Ruby Woo.  Would you wear red lips? What's YOUR favorite red lipstick?

M.A.C. for X-MAS

So my loving boyfriend decided to get me an early x-mas gift...and since he knows me so well he went to M.A.C. and got me a few things all of which I am in love with...Here are some pics of the lovely products he got me!

Lucky Green and Stars N' Rockets are both sheer while the Atlantic Blue is a matte color meaning there is no shimmer to it. The lipglass and lipstick are also both very beautiful. I have been wanting a pink color lipstick for a while and these are just what I was looking for!


Here are some pics of my latest look using these colors:
