Pretty in pink with MAC Playland lips - with swatches!

There's a lot of bright and happy spring colours in the MAC Playland Collection but of course, as always I am drawn to the pink - and nothing makes me happier then pink lips!

Amplified Creme Lipstick in Happy-Go-Lucky - hot pink

Lipglass in Pure Silliness - creamy lilac - love it in the tube but I think this is the kind of shade that looks better on a darker skin tone - it will be great to layer over darker colours that I want to tone down though!

Mascara Monday - Estée Lauder Sumptuous Infinite Daring Length + Volume Mascara

Estée Lauder Sumptuous Infinite Daring Length + Volume Mascara - $28.50 - in Black or Brown - with a formula that features a multitude of gravity-defying fibers that take lashes far beyond tips to deliver a beautifully defined and instantly alluring eye look that is fabulously visible, with an intense rich colour pigment, lashes look long, lush and infinitely daring for up to 10 hours..

Features a molded brush with 12 brush rows that includes 11 short rows that instantly thicken lashes due to ample space between rows allowing for optimal product delivery - followed by one extended comb row which is longer then then others and used as the final step to comb out and style lashes making them evenly and perfectly separated. The result is feathery, fanned out, perfectly styled lashes that are infinitely long, sexy and flirty.

And an advanced elastic-like formula which contains a unique blend of innovative, stretchable, rubber-like polymers and new extra-long, carbon black fibers that instantly coat lashes to perfectly shape, plump and extend each lash from root through tip to towering lengths. As the mascara dries, the fibers are fused onto lashes, setting and locking the fibers in place beyond lash tips for extraordinary reach.

The extension really is great and it does add some volume with minimal clumping - I think because of the comb aspect of the brush which eliminates clumps as you apply it! It is a little tricky to get the hang of - I found it easiest to apply one coat normally and then apply the second coat with the comb part of the brush - which adds a bit more mascara but mostly just smooths everything thing out!

Available now at Estée Lauder counters across Canada and online at www.esteelauder.ca.
