Plum Dandy Lipstick Swatch

Hello! Today I will show you all MAC's lipstick in "Plum Dandy". I originally got this because I was dying to buy MAC's "oh oh oh" when I saw a swatch online but had been a limited edition product. (It was re-promoted in the Archie Collection!). I know Plum Dandy is a much more purple-toned-pink and not as reddish as oh oh oh but I really liked the color!

Hola! Hoy les quiero mostrar un pintalabios/rouge/labial (como sea que lo llamen!) Se llama "Plum Dandy" y originalmente me lo compre porq me moria por comprarme "oh oh oh" de MAC cuando vi un swatch online pero resulta que era edicion limitada. (Por suerte lo pusieron a la venta otra vez con la Coleccion de Archie!) Plum Dandy no es tan rojizo como oh oh oh pero igual me encanta el color!

 PROS:
  • Not too frosty where you'll look like a cheap Pamela Anderson out of the 90s.
  • Vanilla Scent
  • Sheer but buidable
CONS:
  • Not very smooth
  • Not moisturizing
There isn't a whole lot to say when it comes to the quality of this lipstick, it isn't meant to be moisturizing. However, it also doesn't really dry them out. I would suggest making sure you don't have flaky skin on your lips because this lipstick will enhance it.
 PROS:
  • No tiene mucho "Frost" que vas a parecer una Pamela Anderson barata de los 90.
  • Olor a vainilla
  • No es super pigmentado pero se puede repasar
CONS:
  • No se siente super suave
  • No hidrata los labios
La verdad esq este labial es bastante basico y super lindo. No fue creado para hidratar los labios asi que no tengo quejas! No te los seca un monton tampoco pero si lo vas a usar asegurate de que no tengas pedazitos de piel muerta porq sino se resaltan. 

--- One swipe creates a beautiful metallic rosy/purple colour.

--- Con una pasada queda un color hermoso medio rosadito/morado metalico.
--- With several swipes you can really intensify the purple tones and the metallic.

--- Con varias pasadas se intensifica el tono morado y tambien lo metalico.


I took this photo back in the fall. Currently there is a ton of beautiful snow! I love to walk in the snow! Have a great night/day/etc.

Saque esta foto cuando era otoño. Ahora hay un monton de nieve super linda! Me encanta caminar en la nieve. Espero que tengan un buen dia/noche/etc.

Summer Red Lip and Polka Dots

The end of my first real summer is coming to a close. I live in Indiana for most of the year for university and it is getting chilly! The leaves are falling and the wind is crisp! I love and hate the cold. I love the autumn holidays, the incredible multi-colour leaves, the lovely smells (cinnamon, pumpkin, spices, sweet vanilla!). Basically, I'm a cliche girl who enjoys fall jajaja

Anyways, before I go on and on about Fall. This was an interesting summer where I took a god-awful six week statistics course. Of course I needed a beautiful red lipstick when I got the Sunday blues about going back to class!

I used a combination of MAC's Viva Glam I and Rimmel's Exaggerate Lip Liner in Diva Red (024).
Viva Glam I is a beautiful dark brick red. But I don't feel like it has a lot of brown in it though, it's mostly just a more intense, deeper red. I really prefer this color to MAC's Russian Red (don't kill me!) because Russian Red is a bit brighter. It looks amazing on everyone! I just don't feel like it suits me well :( The Rimmel Lip Liner is a brighter pink-tinged cherry red. It's not an exact match but I just picked it out really quickly and I wasn't bothered by matching it exactly (but maybe this part is more important than I think it is) and it was cheap so hey! Why the heck not!









I decided to wear this Polka Dot dress from F21 that my father and stepmom got me. I really like how simple and classy it is! Sorry about the wind and the seat belt! Safety first jajaja

I wore this combo the other day at my University the other Saturday. I was initially intimidated but it was a simple day studying with my two good friends so I decided to give it a whirl! Do you ever feel intimidated to wear such a bold lip color around school/friends/people you know?


Mr. Hobo hopes you all have a great week!

MAC's Creme in Your Coffee Swatch

Hello everyone! I've taken an unexpected hiatus from blogging due to the demands made from my wonderful statistics class... *cue vomit* 
Although I appreciate the education, am learning tons and getting the course out of the way, I don't expect I will ever take to math. 

Anyways, this week I was in San Francisco with my father and stepmother and we had a great time! I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to visit such a lovely city. 
While there I got MAC's rosy brown MLBB lipstick "Creme in Your Coffee". I had been wanting this color for ages but I couldn't justify it's simplicity. Especially because I own MAC's "Syrup" and I felt it was too similar (judging off online swatches). However, Syrup is truly more of a plummy mauve on me. 




This lipstick is a cremesheen finish. It's not overly drying but I do like to use it with a lip balm under it to give a more glossy finish. 
Overall, I really enjoy this lipstick and I'm looking forward to wearing it more often in the fall when my skin gets paler.
