Daddy's Little Girl

So after a somewhat 'blah' week last week - it wasn't bad in any way but it wasnt fab either, know what I mean? - I decided to pop into MAC and treat myself to a new beauty item. Lo and behold, my local MAC still had some bits from the Archie's Girls Collection in stock and a few short minutes later, I was the proud owner of Daddy's Little Girl from the Veronica collection.

I wouldn't say I'm one to be sucked in by a limited edition collection so the fact that this is part of the collection wasn't behind the reason I got this, but look how cute the packaging is!

 

 

Turns out I'm a Veronica!

 

 

The actual colour is what hooked me - its a bright pink with a deep purple tone - absolutely gorgeous, and so striking, but also surprisingly wearable!

 

 

Did you catch anything from the Archie's Girl collection?

Eggplant

I am a big fan of rapper Azealia Banks, singer of the super catchy 212 which was a massive hit this summer, so I was very excited to hear she was releasing her own lipstick with MAC, called Yung Rapunxel.

Azealia herself describes the shade as 'eggplant', while MAC call it a deep, rich shade of plum.

Unfortunately as far as I'm aware it is not being released in the UK which is such a shame as I would totally buy it!

However I was rifling through my make up drawer today and found this: Black Cherry by Sleek which I think is somewhat similar!

Here is Black Cherry swatched:

Here is Azealia in Yung Rapunxel

And me in Black Cherry:

Total twins, right?!

Unfortunately not... But I do love this shade, so until I hear of MAC releasing this fab lipstick in the UK I will be rocking this on nights this Autumn/Winter. Was anyone lucky enough to see her on tour this month, or attend the fabulous Mermaid Ball?
