Swatch Of The Week 3 - MAC VIVA GLAM VI Lipstick
Much like the last post, this series of beauty posts is purely to swatch lip colours and a quick synopsis of my thoughts. A dictionary or gallery of lip colour references if you like. No perfecting, straight out of the tube lip swatching action. If the lip product needs the aid of a brush or a cotton bud/q-tip, primer, extra layers etc I’ll definitely make that known.
This is all in the name of helping others find the right shade of lipstick, that lipstick that might just brighten up your day and inspire you to pop a bit of colour or nude in your life, and also selfishly, a reminder to myself of what I have in my stash.
No "season appropriate" colour discriminating here, anything goes. If you would like me to swatch a lippie, please let me know in the comments below.
No swatch fest is complete without this cult brand! This week I'm trying on: MAC Viva Glam VI

The Water Beauty Routine
Let's talk skin. My skin has become miles better than the lumps and bumps activity that festered on my jawline, oh, about 4 years ago, right before we moved to Sydney. I was also once a very pimply foreheaded teen, and I have awful high school ball pics to prove it (I didn't believe in foundation or concealer back then...WOW I know).
Since departing a daily air-conditioned office environment though, I have to say my skin has been the best that it's ever been. I can't say that running away from the stresses of a corporate environment was 100% the answer, because I do have to pay tribute to the water beauty products which I have consistently incorporated into my skin regime.
In no particular order, here are the watery makeup removers treatments and toners which have worked oh so very well for me in the last 8+ months... and have allowed me to save my pennies , not needing to visit the skin facial clinic!

Would You Try A Dark Lip?
I'm a major fan of clean, natural and alluring beauty looks, but I have long admired fellow chicks that can rock a dark lip. While I don't think this is an everyday look, I can so see this being a, shall we say, once-in-awhile look for Autumn...you know, with sky high turtleneck jumpers, dark jeans and messy bun hair. Of course I write this while I am sitting here wearing a singlet and denim cutoff shorts.
After having a major fan girl moment, watching Sharon Farrell's Goth makeup tutorial, I whipped out my untouched MAC Cyber lipstick and tried the look for myself.
