Bridal/MAC Lovelorn Giveaway!

Ok, well it's not Part 2 of my Summer SOS series, but that's the school holidays for you when you're a single mum of 3 and chief looker-afterer (did I mention I just make up words to save time??) of a very daft dog and very bouncy kitten! In other words, I'm late for everything and I TOTALLY blame them! 😁

So anyway, as I came across the most perfect lipstick ever for a bride today, I thought I'd run a giveaway for one! After all, its now running up to the most popular months for weddings, and knowing how much they can cost I thought, lets share this discovery!

As the photo might hint at, the lippy that I think is the holy grail for the "English Rose" style bride, is of course MACs Lovelorn. I am totally in love as I'm always looking for a good nude colour, but on the rosy side rather than the browny beige side. To be honest I just didn't think it actually existed (just like my dream summer sandals that appeared 2 years ago courtesy of Blowfish! Ah the joy at my imagined perfect heeled sandal/gladiator hybrid being created into actual reality, well, it was a moment right there!). But today I found the answer to my dreams and it struck me how perfect this would be for a wedding day. Its only a couple of tones darker/brighter than a natural lip colour which is perfect because on your wedding day, you want to look like you, but the best version of you. Its not the day for dramatic looks or shimmer - no offence to any brides who've gone for the more unique look, I'm talking about the general bridal makeup and what a makeup artist looks for in a "typical" bridal makeup. Don't forget, we try our hardest to make sure your makeup is compatible with flash photography too, we want you to look gorgeous on your big day and on your memorable photos!

Anyway, the bridal makeup post is scheduled for another day so I won't witter on, and if you want to rock a bright lip or black gothic style on your big day, go for it I say!

So back to Lovelorn, this little tube of rosy vanilla goodness! All MAC lipsticks are made smelling of vanilla - a little pointer if you think you've been sold counterfeit MAC, there's a lot about! And this lipstick is a Lustre lipstick, that doesn't mean frost, I guess you'd call it satin maybe? It's not matte but not glossy! Sorry, all day with 3 children and 2 pets has clearly addled my brain...

TO ENTER:
So the giveaway! To enter, all you have to do is to RT the #Giveaway tweet on Twitter, and to comment below. As it has a bridal theme what I'd like you to do in the comments is tell me how many years you've been married, OR when your future planned wedding is (ok yes, bridesmaids included too! When you will be bridesmaid then!) OR if neither of those are applicable, tell me why you think this would be the perfect lippy for you! I want to see over-the-top selling yourselves here guys! 😁

It's a UK only giveaway too I'm afraid, so sorry international peeps, its the shipping costs (grrrr grumble mumble) 😤

Good luck my Lovelies!

Loz X x X 😘

I think that the next wedding I attend could be my sister's which is quite exciting! They aren't even engaged yet but he has already said that he knows when he will propose to her.... and the time scale he has set for them to be man and wife is within two years #romantic

No plans for marriage but I think it would be a good lipstick for me because I have been looking for a pink lipstick for a while that is neither too bright not too pale that it would wash me out and this looks perfect!

This really is a perfect rosy nude - I've been searching forever for this nude, they're either too beige, too brown, or too rosy! I'm so happy my search is over, this is such a pretty colour! X x X

This is just perfect. i agree that the lip should be a nice nude colour. I would go for a nice natural look. Plenty of weddings this year so this lippy would be dearly loved.

Been with my partner 16yrs this year :) as for the wedding "watch this space"

off to RT now as @miamoos_mummy x

It is a gorgeous shade isn't it? Love a natural sweet look for a wedding day, I know everyone's different and some want a more full on look, but for me, bridal makeup can really show a transformation as the subtlety brings out the brides natural beauty and accentuates it even more. Its a bit of a swan moment if its done right! Good luck! X x X

i got married two years ago and it was easily the best day of my life apart from the arrival of my son.I had a mac beautician do my make up who works in house of fraser, she transformed me with her enormous make up collection , i loved mac from that day . I love the subtle shade of the lipstick in your giveaway it would suit my very natural makeup look xx

Sorry Lydia if you've got 2 responses here, my form keeps posting to the wrong place! I'm blaming the technology but its probably just me having a blonde moment! 😳

Aw that's lovely to hear, and congratulations on both wonderful events! So glad you had a good makeup artist on the big day, I hear a few horror stories, but any MAC trained artist is a great choice! A good MUA will make you feel like a princess! 😊 Good luck! X x X

Ah well you definitely need an introduction to MAC, I don't know what I did before I discovered the world of MAC! If you don't win this one, I'd definitely recommend going along to your most local store as they are sure to have your most perfect colour there (actually, I have a few perfect ones!). Good luck!
