Something I have been missing in my life for a long time is a brand, spanking new
MAC lipstick discovery. I have the old faithfuls that I can't live without (step up
Velvet Teddy and
Honeylove) but I haven't had a real 'discovery' as in, not raved about on youtube, for a while, probs since my
CB96 post, which STILL doesn't get the recognition it deserves.

MAC Polished Up. It's a shade I had never even heard of, but in celebration of getting a new job a few months ago, my blogging bestie,
Grace, surprised me! There's so many reasons I love this lipstick, firstly it's a Lustre finish, next to Matte, it's my favourite finish from MAC and one I think is massively underrated. They are so comfortable to wear, richer in colour than a gloss as well as working beautifully over lip pencil to counteract any dryness. Get the right shade and you can give yourself a dimensional metallic sheen, making lips appear bigger and perfect for a 'no commitment' bold lip. The shade of Polished Up is perfect for me, just the right amount of brown and red tones for a modern take on a classic 90's lip.
