Back in the day, I was just as crazy about MAC as every other beauty-obsessed teen. I'd spend any extra cash I had on attempting to squeeze the entirety of my local counter into my makeup drawers. Since then, my fixation with the brand has calmed significantly and, as a result of giving other brands some attention, I'm now left with a ton of neglected products. But, there is a handful of gems that I still adore and reach for on the regular. I may get frustrated at the constant flipping and changing of their prices, but MAC will forever remain one of my most-loved brands, so here are my top picks of their products.

From YSL to NYX, practically every brand now offers a lipstick/gloss hybrid and they're always what I gravitate towards, during Summer. As they're one of my favourite beauty brands, when Dior released their Dior Addict Fluid Sticks last year, I was more than excited. After using them solidly, this summer, I thought it was about time I spread the love and reviewed them for you.

April was a busy month for me, as all my weekends were taken up with various trips away. As packing and unpacking bags isn't my favourite job, I pretty much kept the same items in my beauty bags for the whole month. Usually, I get bored when I stick with using the same products for too long, especially when it comes to makeup, but not this time.

For Spring, Bourjois have released a new version of their Rouge Editions, the Bourjois Rouge Edition Aqua Lacque Lip Lacquers. After being impressed by the matte formulation, I had high hopes for these glossy alternatives. Promising a mirror-like shine and intense colour in a moisturising, non-sticky formula, I was excited to get my hands on Bourjois' new additions. Out of the eight shades on offer, ranging from subtle nudes to vibrant brights, I picked up three.
