If you're a last minute shopper and you're shopping for a beauty lover this Christmas- particularly if you're struggling for ideas or have no idea about beauty, then look no further. No matter what your budget is, there'll be something here for everyone!

The beauty world can be very overwhelming and with new launches every week, it can be hard to know where to start. Here is a guide to all things beauty, with prices and links to where you can buy them.

Palettes 

So lets start with palettes. Most beauty lovers love a good palette to add to their collection.

Some great palettes are:

Brand favourites - MAC lipsticks

For a long time now MAC Cosmetics has been my favourite brand for lipsticks. I love the quality, the different finishes and even the smell! So I thought I'd write a quick blog post about my favourite MAC lipsticks.

Below are a couple of pictures showing swatches of my 8 favourites. As you can probably tell I really love my nudes- Kinda Sexy being my all time fave! It's such a gorgeous pinky/peachy nude and really suits my skin tone. 

*If you want to read my review of the Jamie Genevieve lipstick , check out my blog post all about it!* 

I don't wear reds all that often, usually because I end up getting it everywhere (lol) so when I do I either wear a liquid lipstick or Ruby Woo from MAC. Ruby Woo is the most beautiful red, it really compliments my skin tone. It's also matte which reduces the chances of me smearing it everywhere and makes it last longer on my lips. 

Hang up is quite a dark berry shade- not something I wear very often, but if I do fancy a deep colour in the autumn and winter, this is definitely one I reach for the most. (I also have Dark Side which is very very similar!)

Or on the MAC Cosmetics website.

MAC X Jamie Genevieve lipstick

 

Unless you've been living under a rock for the past couple of years, you will know that Jamie Genevieve is absolutely KILLING it right now. 

She now has over 700k subscribers on her YouTube channel and over 1 million followers on Instagram! I love her videos, she always seems very down to earth, 'normal' and funny. She's an absolute babe as well! 

It's no surprise that MAC Cosmetics have teamed up with her to create her very own lipstick- appropriately named 'Jamie Genevieve'.

It is a gorgeous neutral nude with a satin finish. It also comes in it's own special box which features Jamie's denim jacket as the print. 

Here is me wearing the lipstick with a pinky nude lip liner (top) and alone (bottom). 

I love how they both look, but my favourite way to wear it is with the liner. For me this is the perfect nude. The colour is beautiful and the satin finish means that it is so creamy and soft on the lips.

I love it!

You can get the lipstick now here:

Or on the MAC Cosmetics website.

Have you managed to get your hands on this special edition lipstick? 

What are your thoughts? 

Thanks for reading,

Jojo
