if nude lips' is your favourite,
then this post will help you through
some of the nude's that MAC has to offer.

i've been a BIG fan of nudes-
never be it a beige, or pink toned,
as long as its nudes' in a collection.

MAC has lots of varieties of nudes lippies
in different textures- each texture give u different finishing.
it all depends on how well you want the colour to shine.

Archetype (Lustre)
attend : extreme nude like skin tone color - doesnt really pop.

Creme d'Nude (Cremesheen)
attend : soft, easy glide- japanese nude looks. goes well with smokey.

Fresh Brew (Lustre)
attend : soft color, slightly darker nude than Archetype

HoneyLove (Matte)
attend : super long lasting- might be dry but it stays sexily. goes well with smokey

Kinda Sexy (Matte)
attend : super long lasting- slightly more into pink toned

Peachstock (Satin)
attend : easy glide, long lasting, semi matte - my FAV.

Siss (Satin)
attend : smooth, semi matte - looks pale without eyeshadow

Viva Glam II (Satin)

Annie Lennox and Alice Temperley Collaborate to Benefit 'The Circle' + Oxfam



Do you love Annie like I love Annie? Do you love Alice like I love Alice?

Well, I love them is all. Both of  'em. Annie and Alice. Alice and Annie. (I think I'm on to something here...)

Anywho, the Annie I refer to is the incomparable songbird Annie Lennox, and Alice is none other than the exquisitely talented fashionista Alice Temperley. Designer Alice Temperley took a new direction with her Temperley London seasonal installation in New York February 2010, reinterpreting some of the late Norman Parkinson’s photographs with the help of photographer Adam Whitehead. The images feature 16 modern British icons who define True British style and glamour – including Annie Lennox, Liberty Ross, Rosamund Pike, Sophie Dahl, Yasmin Le Bon, Laura Bailey and Jacquetta Wheeler.

The resulting images have been printed life size on canvas and then hand-embroidered and embellished with the same techniques used in the collection pieces. The canvases will be auctioned off in London on 18th May 2010 with all proceeds going to ‘The Circle’ who will distribute to an Oxfam project, chosen by Alice in order to support women in West Africa.

Alice was inspired to help fund an Oxfam project after she was invited by Annie Lennox to attend a ‘Circle’ dinner. The Circle is a group of high-profile women who have come together to use their valuable ideas, experience and contacts to give partnership and support to the world’s poorest women. Circle friends include Annie Lennox, Jane Shepherdson, Vanessa Emilien, Vanessa Branson, Livia Firth, Sojin Lee, Beverley Knight, Zoe Ball, Melanie Hall, Maryam D’Abo, Karen Benhamou Ruimy, Alice Temperley and Kim Chappell.

Click here to read the ‘True British’ auction catalogue which includes images of the canvases, statements from both Alice and Annie about the project and an absentee bidding form for the auction.

“I think it’s absolutely insane that some people have fewer rights than others, and I’m grateful that M·A·C has decided to focus on women while I’m a VIVA GLAM Spokesperson. I have so much to say and so much to share, and I’m going to let my lips and lipstick do the talking!” — Cyndi Lauper, M·A·C VIVA GLAM Spokesperson

“I’ve been familiar with the campaign and have been wearing M·A·C since I was ten years old. To be joining the likes of iconic former VIVA GLAM spokespeople is an honor. My new VIVA GLAM lipstick colour is amazing. It’s very me – a bluish pink, great for everyday, a little bit ’80s. I hope that women buy this lipstick, and honor themselves and honor the cause.” — Lady Gaga, M·A·C VIVA GLAM Spokesperson

 get your very own GAGA & Cyndi VIVA GLAM Lipstick

Remember- 100% of all 'Ka-Ching' on the lippies
are going to help kids & people's living
