Kelly Osbourne For MAC


Im a big fan of the Osbourne's as soon as I knew Kelly and Sharon were bringing out a collection with MAC I knew that I have some purchases that would take pride of place in my makeup collection.

So I waited for sneak peaks, looked out for the american reviews (sometimes it can be good they get the good stuff before us) and I knew exactly what I wanted when I hit the makeup counter. I was there the moment Selfridges opened had a quick browse at the items and left with 3 completely different products (ow well!)

I have no regrets Im over the moon with my purchases. Ive already used all 3! So bellow we have the swatches of my Beautiful Kelly Osbourne pieces.

I will add a couple of items I really liked I didn't buy just because they are permanent shades. The lipstick in the shade Kelly Yum Yum is also Candy Yum Yum and the brow palette Mister Magpie has Soba and burn two permanent eyeshadows.


Bloody Brilliant Eye Shadow x4 As it says bloody brilliant. I have green eyes and these purple/plum shades are prefect and blend amazingly well. 3 of the colours are limited addition and one of the shades is in the permanent range. Shadowy Lady the darkest shade is a Matte finish and blends much better than some of the previous matte shades ive purchased from MAC. Spoonful of Sugar the lightest shade, great for inner corners or an over the lid wash is a platinum colour with a veluxe pearl finish. Tickerty Boo is a muted brown that serves great as a contour colour with a smooth satin finish. Finally Fizzy Rose. A pale lilc again with a satin finish that really pulls the palette together. This shade is great for a full on smokey look with the rest of the palette or a smoother wash alone with a feline flick.



Next Kelly Lipstick in Riot House There are 4 shades to this collection 3 of them being matte. I fell in love with this shade when I saw it and hated the way it looked when I first applied it. *note to self exfoliate lips frequently!  Looks great now though. Very pale lasts well sits amazing well with the eye palette.


Finally the Kelly Skin Mineralize Finish Duo Well I love this formula the shade has a velvet finish which for an oily skin girl is great. There is so much to makeup application I prioritise in mattifying my face so a powder that adds some dimension back into my skin is much needed. The bottom part is a pale pink blush. Ive found serves better as a highlighter, is to light when buffed into the skin to take note of any pigmentation.

Over all im in love! This collection makes me feel like a 15 year old me who was afraid to use my favourite pieces of makeup in fear they would run out!!! If your a fan of the Osbourne's this collection is for you!

Bobbi Browns Creamy Concealer and MAC Studio Fix Concealer reviews.


Firstly these are both two amazing concealers. They are both full coverage, have amazing shade ranges with MAC having 15 and Bobbi Brown having 14. Both are also from fantastic brands.

What I will look at first is the cost. MAC Studio Finish is £15 for 7g thats £2.14 per gram. The Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer is £18.50 for 1.4g. so £13.21 per gram. WHOOW! what a difference! You get a lot more for your buck with mac!




Next up the appearance straight away you can see the BB Concealer is creamy does not need to be heated up or moved around the brush to get a good amount of product on the face. I think this concealer would be great for dryer skins. 
The MSF Concealer requires a little more working and heating to get a good amount of product and blend into the skin. 
The MSF also has a more of a cakey look upon application however when blended sinks into the skin.




Both concealer performs well under the eyes however I feel the MSF is better suited than the BB to blemishes it has better staying power. This brand also has something called Silica which helps absorb oils most likely useful for any oily skinned gals.



Both concealers last around 4/5 hours under my eyes however MAC lasts longer on blemishes.

Both Concealers require powder to set for a lasting finish. I find patting rather swiping is better over concealer to not disturb the product under neither especially for pin point blemish concealing.

So rounding it up Id say Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer is far more for under eyes or dryer skinned types and MAC Studio Fix Concealer is a great all rounder with added benefits for oily and blemished skins.
With the cost difference per gram I would pick MAC for my every day concealing.

What is your Favourite concealer?
