MAC Viva Glam Miley Cyrus




Hello Everybody!
As a massive Miley Cyrus fan I was so excited when they announced Miley was going to be the new face of Viva Glam 2015. She has always been a huge supporter of charities and recently with her Happy Hippy Foundation she has been helping LGBTQ youth & youth homelessness.Giving back has always been important to Miley. Her recent crusade to break down gender stereotypes as well as educate people about current issues makes Miley the perfect candidate to be the face of Viva Glam! Let's get into the reviews,shall we?

Viva Glam Miley Cyrus

Her first lipstick & lipgloss duo was HOT. And by that I mean, hot pink. The bright pink amplified lipstick has a slight blue undertone and a satin sheen finish. Personally I would have loved this lipstick more if it was matte, but in an interview Miley mentioned it was really important how the lipstick felt. As we all know, Mac matte lipsticks can be really drying. Because of the satin finish the lipstick is really smooth and comfortable to wear.

The lipglass that came out with the first lipstick was a hot pink with pink and blue sparkles/shimmer. This lipglass is PACKED with sparkle. Miley said she wanted it to be like a disco ball. Because of all the sparkle, this lipglass is something i've never seen before. Wearing this on it's own is really pretty. Miley said in an interview that she wanted something her younger fans could wear. Apparently when she was a kid she wasn't allowed to wear makeup, but her Mom would let her wear lipgloss. I love that she was thinking about them as separate products but that they go together so well. Wear them together for a big impact, bright, hot pink, sparkley lips. The lipglass was my favourite part of this first collection.

The 2nd lipglass and lipstick duo that came out was an orange duo. The lipstick is a bright orange with a semi matte finish. It reads as matte but has a creamy feeling and isn't drying which I love! The lipglass is also bright orange with shimmer. The hot pink lipglass has WAY more glitter than this one. Wear them together or wear them on their own, you're sure to make a bright, bold statement.

Final Thoughts:
My favourite lipglass was the first that came out, the pink glittery one. And my favourite lipstick was the second Viva Glam Miley2 (The orange one.)
Regardless, It's worth picking up this collection while it lasts-It's limited edition and 100% of the funds go towards the MAC Aids Fund.
Get glam while giving back! what could be better?!
Thanks Miley! Thanks Mac Aids Fund!

Until next time,

October 2015 Glossybox



Hello everybody,
Sorry for the lack of good photos, but as this was my first Glossybox in years , I tore into it without abandon. I managed to snap some quick photos but nothing that spectacular. I can't even express how excited I was and how excited I am for next month's Glossybox (and the Ipsy bag I ordered!!). This month's box was designed by Jamie Lee Reardin, who draws for Christian Dior! The box is absolutely stunning and all the details make this a box to keep! I already have mine on display on my book shelf. The theme was Paris. 
As always the packaging killed it. Glossybox always makes each month feel like you're opening a luxurious gift. This month I received:
  • A Phyto leave in conditioner and heat protectant. It smells so nice and I could tell the difference in brushing through my hair right away.
  • A Vichy Idealia Skin Sleep facial night cream. The packaging is really cute, It's pink and the cream matches! It smells like roses as well.
  • A Le Soft Perfume Paris in the scent Parissian Rhapsody. Honestly I am NOT a perfume girl. But this actually smells really good. It's a light enough floral scent that doesn't cloud me. Just something special for someone who's actually close enough to smell it. (Namely,me, lolz.) It's a solid perfume which I thought was more unique. This is one of my favourite things I received this month. The perfume stick is actually pink! So cute!
  • A red lipgloss by De Bruyere Paris. This lipgloss is highly pigmented and has an amazing formula. For some reason it looked really red in the package (and in other peoples swatches i've seen.) But on me it looked more like a hot pink. I am not complaining at all though as the colour is beautiful.
  • A red nail polish by Lollipop Paris. I haven't tried this polish yet, but I can tell you it will be perfect this holiday season.
That's everything I received and I can't wait for next month! Below are all the 'quick snaps' I managed to take. I didn't want to wait any longer to take photo's, I just wanted to post this! Everything has already been organized into my collection, ready for use.
I hope you like the photo's below! 
Au revoir!
Luna.
