Recent Empties Vol. 2

Hey guys!

I can't believe it's already the end of November and just one more month, the end of the year. Time sure flies! Anyways, for the past month I've tried not to splurge and be more conscious of my purchases so that lead me to use up these products and it kind of made me feel accomplished. For the past year, I have been so caught up with growing my makeup collection that I've definitely accumulated more than what I need so finishing a product gives me a sense of achievement. So let's take a look!

Nail of the Week: Essie Penny Talk

For this week's nails I am wearing Essie Penny Talk. This shade is included in Essie's Mirror Metallics that came out a few months back but is still available at some Walmart and Shoppers Drug Mart. Penny Talk is a gorgeous bronze-y, rose-gold metallic shade. The application can be quite difficult as the formula is somewhat inconsistent and streaky. Also, the brush strokes are visible on the nails which is common with metallic polishes but a gorgeous shade nonetheless.

MAC Lipstick in Plumful Review and Swatches

Hey guys!

Today I would like to share with you yet another fall lip colour that I absolutely adore, MAC Plumful. This shade has a lustre finish that is actually not a favourite finish of mine as it kind of dries my lips out so I apply my trusty lip balm before wearing the lipstick. Also, since it is a lustre finish, the colour tends to be sheer but can be intensified when layered. 

Plumful is officially described as a "blossoming rose-plum" which I think is pretty spot-on. If I can give further description of this lipstick, I would say that it's a medium pink with deep plum undertones which  would be a great shade for the fall season. 

Here is an arm and lip swatch of MAC Plumful

Overall: As any of the other MAC lipsticks in my collection, this shade lasts about 4 hours before needing re-application. Also, a lip balm is recommended to be worn underneath the lipstick.

Price: $18.00 CAD
