Meet the YSL Rouge Volupté Shine Lipstick in 19 'Fuchsia in Rage'

This was first written by me on a blog called The Make Up Obsessed Midlander, which isn't really used anymore. So just in case you missed it on there, Here is a look at the YSL Rouge Volupte Shine Lipstick in 19 Fuchsia in Rage. The reason I have put this post back up here is because I think this lipstick would look lovely this time of year... What do you think?

Long time no see...

Hey there,

So I haven't actually posted on this blog since I finished my month of MAC in August. It's so bad I know but I have an excuse...



There wasn't much lipstick wearing in September, I have worked quite a lot and when I've got in from work tired, achey and now full of cold, my first instinct isn't to apply make up to my face. It's quite the opposite, the make up comes off and the onesie comes on.
Anyway I have decided that with a new month, I need to buck my ideas up and I am planning to post once a week on this blog every Saturday. Any ideas of posts you want to see, let me know in the comments down below.

Thanks for sticking with me.
Lots of Love,

A Month of MAC: MAC Candy Yum Yum

Hey there,

It's the 31st today... that means one thing, a month of MAC is coming to an end, sad face. I decided to finish of this 31 day series with a bang and when it comes to MAC lipstick, it could only be one.

Ladies and Gentlemen....Meet MAC Candy Yum Yum.




I forgot how pretty this lipstick was until I put it on. I was all about this lipstick in June 2013, I'd picked it up on a whim and I think through the rest of that month I had it on most days...apart from work for obvious reason.

MAC describes this Matte Finish lipstick as a Neon Pink. You can't argue with that....it's a bright one.
What do you think of this lipstick? Have you enjoyed this series?

A Month of MAC: MAC Violetta

Hey there,

We are into the last two days of the Month of MAC. I'm going to miss taking my picture with a lipstick on every day haha.

Anyway today's lipstick isn't going to be for everyone but today's lipstick is MAC Violetta.

MAC Violetta



This lipstick does remind me of MAC Heroine, which I've already shown in this month of MAC however Violetta has a slight iridescence to it and it has a different finish to it.

MAC describes this Amplified Finish Lipstick as a Bright Clean Violet Purple. Can't really argue there can you?

A Month of MAC: MAC Snob

Hey there,

Today's lipstick is a relatively new one to me and it is one I'm still not 100% on whether I like it. It's a very pale shade but some people might like that.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Meet MAC Snob.






Can we take a minute to look at my eye make up here, I'm really proud of it. I was playing around with a silver shade. But onto the lipstick..

This lipstick is an interesting one because it not what you expect it to look like when you look at the colour in the bullet. MAC describe this Satin Finish as a Light Neutral Pink. In this picture you would have to agree with this description, it is light and pink but I would like to say on my lips there is a tiny hint of a lavender purple tinge to it. It could be my imagination but I thought I'd say it anyway.

What do you think of this lipstick?

A Month of MAC: MAC Tart and Trendy

Hey there,

Today's lipstick was a Limited Edition lipstick I believe from the All About Orange Collection. I bought it from a blog sale last summer when I had a serious love for all things orange and to be honest I haven't worn it much since, which is a real shame.

Ladies and Gentlemen, meet MAC Tart and Trendy.

It's no longer summer folks, I'm wearing a jumper in this picture. Right the lipstick, I put this on to photograph and I was told by my mum that I had baked bean juice on my lips, thanks mum!

This Lustre Finish lipstick has been described by others as a Bright Neutral Orange Cream. It's an orange but it's not as bold as some because it's a lustre finish, which I think is why I like it.

A Month of MAC: MAC Creme Cup

Hey there,

How have I got to day 27 without talking about this lipstick? A very popular lipstick which I'm pretty sure is most people's first MAC lipstick. Today's lipstick is MAC Creme Cup.




My faces are getting ridiculous don't you think? Anyway onto the lipstick..

MAC Creme Cup is a very simple lipstick that works well on most people, this probably explains why it is most people's first lipstick.
MAC describe this Cremesheen lipstick as a Light Blue Pink.

A Month of MAC: MAC Plumful

Hey there,

Another little autumnal favourite for you today. Ladies and Gentlement, Meet MAC Plumful.




Yes another non make up day and the weather is icky outside today so the weather has made the lighting look horrible and has given me face complex. Stupid weather.

Anyway,the lipstick. This lipstick is an Autumn/Winter staple as its a lovely plum shade plus it's a light lipstick being a lustre finish.

This Lustre Finish lipstick is described as a Blossoming Rose Plum.

A Month of MAC: MAC Velvet Teddy

Hey there,

Today's lipstick is one that when I was in Selfridges a couple of weekends ago with Sarah and Aimee eating a Salt Beef Sandwich, I said that flat out I wouldn't ever buy this lipstick and then lo and behold two days later, I was ordering it.

Today's lipstick, Ladies and Gentlemen is MAC Velvet Teddy.

MAC Velvet Teddy Lipstick



Oh this make up free selfie is not one of my best, excuse the state that is my face.
The reason I said I would not ever buy this lipstick before I bought it was because of it's colour. It is a brown toned lipstick and I didn't/still don't exactly know what I can do with it. However when I applied it for the first time today and studied myself in the mirror, I decided it wasn't as scary as I thought. My plan is to pair it with a slightly pink toned lipliner, such as the Rimmel East End Snob liner or it's high end highly popular dupe MAC Whirl...which I don't own.

MAC describes this Matte Finish lipstick as a Deep Tone Beige. I know not everyone's cup of tea but it's a grower I think.

Hello there,

Day 24 of this series. I'm really happy how its all going, I'm getting a lot of comments back about how people are enjoying everything so thank you very much.

Today's lipstick is one of my favourite reds out there. Ladies and Gentlemen, Meet MAC M.A.C Red.

Eugh Blurry DSLR selfie. So the reason why I love this lipstick is that it has a touch of the old fashioned Hollywood Glamour to it and that is a look I really like.
MAC describes this Satin Finish lipstick as a Vivid Bright Bluish-Red.

A Month of MAC: MAC Chatterbox

Hey there,

I put an instagram picture of today's lipstick up yesterday because it is a favourite of mine but I wasn't sure of the make up I had put with it...something about the eyeliner added didn't make me happy.

Anyway, today's lipstick is MAC Chatterbox.

MAC Chatterbox Lipstick




I love this lipstick, it's a brightish pink without being in your face pink. This Amplified Finish lipstick is described by MAC as a Bright Red Pink. It is one of my favourites and one I think more people should have in their collections... I often think it's a forgotten lipstick.

A Month of MAC: MAC Heroine

Hey there,

Today's pick was inspired by Aimee from Aimee Loves, who bought this lipstick at the weekend and applied it reminding me how pretty the lipstick is.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Meet MAC Heroine.





Yes I am fresh faced and yes I have got headphones in.. I was mid cleaning when I realised I hadn't done a lipstick picture.

MAC Heroine is a Matte Finish lipstick which is very obviously a purple shade. MAC describe this colour as a Bright Purple. The colour of this lip colour is slightly brighter than it seems in the picture. It is a very easy to wear purple which I think will suit many people.

A Month of MAC: MAC Costa Chic

Hey there,

Today's lipstick is a new one in my life. I bought it during the Debenhams £5 off a Lipstick offer and it is one I'm still not sure of. I think I like it but I'm still on the fence.

Ladies and Gents, Meet MAC Costa Chic.





This Frost Finish Lipstick is described by MAC as a Frosty Light Coral. It kind of reminds me of Vegas Volt that's a little lighter and a little more shimmery.

A Month of MAC: MAC Craving

Hey there,

Another Lipstick, technically a day late but if you follow me on twitter (@tloatb90) you will know that my weekend ended quite stressfully and we understand why I couldn't publish this post when it should have gone up.

Ladies and Gentlemen, meet MAC Craving.

MAC Craving Lipstick




This is very much an Autumn/Winter colour in my eyes, which meant it was very strange to put it on in August. 

This is a very deep autumnal shade, which MAC calls a Burst of Plum, which I think is more red than plum but anyway.

This lipstick is an Amplified finish Lipstick.

Lots of Love,

A Month of MAC: MAC Syrup

Hey there,

17 days in... still going. Are you as shocked as me?
Today's lipstick is one that I love to put on when the weather gets a little chillier and the autumn winds are blowing.

Ladies and Gentlemen.... Meet MAC Syrup




I like to call this lipstick the berry for those who are too scared of a bold berry lip and I hope you can see why.

MAC call this Lustre Finish lipstick a Cloudy Pink. 
What do you think of this lipstick? Are you a fan?

Lots of Love,
