Some time ago I showed you This Post, where I chatted about my Top 5 blushes at the time. A lot of you liked the idea of the post, so today I will be sharing with you my Top 5 MAC Lipsticks!

Antiqued is one of my favourite eyeshadows by MAC. It’s a bronzy ash brown with a bit of a maroony wine undertone (hope that makes sense lol)!
