Skin update & small MAC haul

Ever since I got my Cover Girl Lip Perfection Lipsticks I've been wearing bright lipsticks almost every day. Now I'm back to my beloved nudes. Plus, red lips only look good when you have good skin. I'm kind of going through a rough skin stage. I'm trying out Proactiv because my Bioré cleanser and toner did nothing to cure my acne. However, I'm in the break-out stage right now. I heard that it is completely normal to be breaking out when you're first trying out an acne system, but I'm totally self-conscious and feeling ugly. I pray that Proactiv works. If not, I'm not sure what to do... I've never had this much acne before... Sorry to be grossing you out...

This weekend, while I was at the mall, I was wearing bright red lips and when I saw myself in the mirror I was totally horrified how gross I looked. My lips were bringing too much attention to my face when I had bad skin. Ugh. I immediately wiped off the colour, but because the Cover Girl Lip Perfection Lipsticks leave a stain I decided to buy a lipstick. I wanted to check out Viva Glam Gaga 2 when it came out, but I never got a chance to see it in person. I knew that the colour would be intense because it was an amplified and I was right. It totally neutralized my lips. I also tried on the lip gloss, but I didn't get it. I also tried on MAC's Blankety lipstick and I kind of regret not getting that too. It's a beautiful nude. I think Blankety is a little more pink than Gaga 2. Oh well.

I picked up 2 things at MAC this weekend- Soft Ochre Paint Pot and Viva Glam Gaga 2 lipstick.


Here's the paint point. I've been wanting this for a long time. I have Rubenesque, but I find it too shimmery and pink for my liking. I like matte primers.


Viva Glam Gaga 2. It's a great nude colour.



The colour is not too yellow and doesn't make me look dead. When topped with a pinky, nude gloss it looks really lovely.
