I'm aliiiiiiive! Apologies for disappearing on you all like that, I was in one of those 'I-hate-my-face-right-now' funks, and I had a bit of a debacle involving a post-Christmas hike up Glendalough, 200 mph winds and rain, and my camera in the bottom of my soaking wet backpack :/ ..Cue new camera! Anyway, I have a couple of new purchases, one of them being MACs Rebel lipstick, so you get a quick look of the day. You lucky people, you!
I've been falling back in love with my UD Naked palette recently, this particular combo was Sidecar all over the lid, Hustle in the crease and Virgin to highlight. Still, it doesn't stop me lusting after the Naked2 palette... Tease and YDK are calling to meh. *sigh*

Rebel has been on my MAC wishlist since I first started getting interested in MAC makeup, but I kind of got distracted by all the pretty reds and then I went on my vampy kick this Winter... I have to credit/blame Jerry for bringing Rebel back to my attention, the purples she's been rocking recently have made me drool more than watching Garett Hedlund's fine ass in Four Brothers. Count Illamasqua Cream Pigment in Depravity in to my WANT.NEED.NOW List thanks to this post of hers! Anyway, I haven't been able to stop wearing Rebel since I got it, the website describes it as a vivid pinkish-purple, pretty damn accurate. A nice thing about this lipstick is it stains your lips a bright pink, so even if it's kind of worn off and you can't reapply, your lips still have a bit of colour to them.
Also I bought some new jewelery for my septum piercing last week, above I'm wearing the Blackline Smooth Segment Ring. I did get a bunch of other Blackline stuff, but I love the look of the segment ring the most. Only downside is you can't flip it up into your nose if you need to hide it all of a sudden but, meh! Super fast delivery from BJS too, really recommend it if you're looking for some new body jewelery.
'Til next time (I'll try not to leave it so long)!

Yay! You're back with an awesome look! That lipsrick is stunning, too. I'm also eyeing off the Naked 2 palette, but I'm trying to hold back.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard trying to restrain yourself from the Naked2 palette isn't it?! Lol thanks lovely!
DeleteI'm so glad you're back! Your makeup is always so gorgeous and you have the most beautiful skin. I love this lipstick. I always either wear red or hot pink. You apply lipstick perfectly. I suck at it!

Aww thank you! Yeah, I've been in a bit of a red rut lately, this lipstick is the perfect thing to switch it up a bit! Hahaha looking at the close up of my lips I was actually like Damn I really need a lipliner for this one.. And you most definitely do not suck at applying lipstick!
DeleteAww man you're beautiful! Rebel looks amazing on you and your septum ring looks awesome. ^.^
ReplyDelete*blushes* Thank youuuu!
DeleteRebel looks amazing. I've never seen it on the lips but its stunning!
ReplyDeleteIt really is just an amazing colour! I've been stopped and asked what lipstick it is about 6 times!
Deletelovely look! I loveee Rebel, too bad I can't get my hands on MAC...but fortunately I can comfort myself with Rimmel's Cutting edge lipstick , which is a little darker than this one...
ReplyDeletelove your septum jewelry too!
Aww that sucks! Mind you, MAC isn't readily available to me either. I have to plan in advance and it's like a day trip! Thanks pet! ^^
DeleteThat lipstick is a gorgeous shade! Really suits you :) x
ReplyDeleteThank you!
Deletewonderful lip color!
ReplyDeleteIt is a beaut isn't it?!
Deleteyay so glad you're back! Looking beautiul as ever, the lipstick is lovely! :) xx
ReplyDeleteD'awwww thank you lovely!
DeletePretty, pretty face and adorable septum piercing. You totally suit it! Good decision xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa, yeah I like it! Glad I sucked it up and finally got it done!
DeleteUGH HOW/WHY DOES IT LOOK SO RIDICULOUSLY GOOD ON YOU?! I wish Rebel looked half as good on me, everybody else seems to rock it so easily but it fights me everytime </3
ReplyDeleteAre you kidding me?! I've never seen you in a lipstick that doesn't look amazeballs on you. I'm actually surprised that for a Satin-finish, it applies nicely for me! Usually me and Satins don't get along :/
Delete:o How have I missed this post?! I swear it didn't show up on my blogroll! I think we must have joint brains when it comes to lipstick as I've been looking at pictures of Rebel recently! I think my next lipstick purchase will have to be Hang-Up though which is a deeper and slightly more red version of Rebel. How can lipstick be so exciting?!
ReplyDeleteI've been wearing the same horse shoe from EMP in my lip since last Christmas! It was black to begin with but over time it faded to a dark grey so I think it's about time for a new black one! I have other rings but they're mainly silver.. black looks so much better! xxx
Woah we really must have joint brains.. I've been lemming Hang Up too! Nearly bought it the last time I was in MAC. Lol trust me, NOTHING gets me more excited than lipstick! Hah. I love your lip ring, it still looks black, to me anyway! I really love the look of black jewelery, as soon as I'm completely sure my snug has healed, I'll be treating myself to some more Blackline stuff for that too!
DeleteEDIT: well not last Christmas but Christmas 2010!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favourite MAC lipsticks. It is one of the few pinks/fuschias that are flattering on me.
ReplyDeleteI just can't believe how pretty it is, the pink stain it leaves behind is really pretty as well!
DeleteOoooooooooh, so pretty!!!! I need Rebel, and your septum is gorgeous! I wish I had the nerve to pierce mine. But I think instead I'll just look for some blackline rings for my nostril holes. :) Besides, your septum suits you so well, even if I nerved up and got one, I'd just look at it and be all, "Y U NO AS PERFECT AS AOIFE'S." :D
ReplyDeleteLove this - so gorgeous! Tell me about your process for doing cat-eyes; I'm loving how precise and symmetrical yours are!
ReplyDeleteI love this look. The lip color is gorgeous. Great blog by the way.
