MAC Prep and Prime Lip Base - My Greatest Purchase of 2014?!

I adore MAC, they make amazing products. Sometimes though they are incredibly over-hyped. This is not one of those times.

I bough MAC Prep & Prime Lip Base in Cork recently and sweet mother of Holy Grail, I am in love! I intended on picking up a new lipstick, but when I explained to the lovely assistant that I hated how Ruby Woo felt on my lips and wanted to try a different finish, she suggested I try Prep and Prime instead. She slicked Ruby Woo on the back of my hand, and asked me how it felt. It dragged and felt uncomfortable. Then, she slicked on some Prep and Prime, and glided Ruby Woo over that. it applied like a dream but stayed matte and there was no distortion of the pigment.

Sold.

At €16.50, it's not cheap, but it works under all lipsticks and keeps the product lasting much longer, as well as being moisturizing and filling in any cracks in the surface. I haven't been so obsessed by a product in a long aul time, let me tell you. This is possibly the greatest thing I've bought all year and it's gonna take a lot to knock it off the top spot.

I promise you, you need this in your life.

Keep your eye out for my updated "Ultimate Red Lip Essentials" coming soon!

Drop me a line and let me know what other MAC gems I'm sorely missing!

#SBBC Day 19: Spending, Spending, Spending!!

Today, the topic is "€250 to Spend; How Do You Spend It??"

Oh Lord!!

If I was handed €250 and told to go shopping, the first thing I think I would buy is MAC Ruby Woo and Cherry Lipliner. Then I would go to a Catrice stand, and pick up a few of their lovely lipsticks and liners for good measure.

After that, I would drop into Penney's and get a few nice sets of underwear. Sure, why not, right? I'd pick up a bunch of basics, skirts, tops, leggings, jeans, jumpers and cardigans, and a few accessories like bags and stuff.

So lets say I have €50 left to spend. I would go for lunch to a Sushi Bar with Himself, and then swing by Hodges & Figgis on the way home.

How would you spend €250??

Amy,
