MAC Hayley Williams Sounds Like Noise Lipstick Review & Swatches

MAC Hayley Williams Sounds Like Noise: Bright Matte Orange Lipstick

Orange lipstick? Yes, orange lipstick!

Who loves orange lipstick? Zoe loves orange lipstick. Is it true? Mm-hmm. I do, I do ,I do, I do, I do-ooh! :)

(If you get the reference, awesome!)

When I heard that MAC were collaborating with Hayley Williams from Paramore, I was intrigued. Hayley's style is unique and I love how she works crazy colours, not only clothes, but hair and beauty too. I've always liked Paramore. I remember when I first heard Emergency, way back in 2006/7, then bought their album. Paramore are still around, making music and I love their new track 'Still Into You', it's so catchy!

I hadn't planned to buy anything from the Hayley Williams MAC collection at first, mainly as I'm trying to save money and wasn't so sure on the very orange-based collection.

However, when the products were released a few weeks back, the hype and swatches made me NEED to buy in to the collection. Plus, there was free delivery, SOLD.

By the time I went on the MAC website, the gorgeous eyeshadow had sold out (boohoo!), BUT, the lipstick was still available! I love MAC lipsticks. Since I bought my first (MAC Disney Venomous Villains Violetta) back in 2010, my MAC lipstick collection has grown and grown. I'll be blogging about my collection very soon.

On to the lipstick:

Being a matte lipstick, it is slightly drying, but not as much as others that I have tried and application was smooth.

Opaque colour is achievable in just one swipe.

£14, MAC Cosmetics.

Unfortunately, this is now sold out but there are many other orange lipsticks available.

Orange is a big beauty trend this year and is perfect for the summer months! I have another bright orange lipstick, Barry M's 117, which I have only ever used once, when I dressed as a pumpkin many-a Halloween ago! I must dig it out and try it again.

Here I am, wearing Sounds Like Noise on a day out in Aberystwyth with my parents :)

Bubblegum ice cream - delicious! We then did a 6 mile coastal walk to Borth, so technically, I worked it off, right?!

I'm a massive lipstick fan and I will wear any and every shade. I have everything from standard nude, pinks, reds, to crazy colours like black, green and blue!

What do you think of orange lipstick?

Are you experimental with lipstick?

Birmingham Haul

Hello Lovelies :)

A few weeks ago I went to Birmingham for a Thursday night away with my friend. Jo.

We planned to go check out the Selfridges Girls Night In event, but it didn't seem to be on :-( No treatments, no champagne and no cupcakes!

Anyway, we had a shop, ate a Nando's, then had a girly night out, followed by a little more shopping/browsing the following day.

We had fun :)

I treated myself to a few bits whilst in Birmingham...

Primark:

Excuse edge of bed!

My Little Pony Tee £6

Neon Yellow Top £5

Car Print Crop £6

You can see how I style the MLP and neon tops here :)

Nail Polishes in Holiday Fun (neon purple) and Magnetic (silver/rainbow glitter) £2.50 each

- I saw these on Lucy's blog a while ago and was excited to find the Angelica stand in Birmingham Primark :) So much choice! I have yet to use these, as I kinda forgot about them...I just got them out the bag and the purple was drying up :-/ So we'll see how they are and I'll report back to you all!

Urban Outfitters:

Nail Polish in Twinkie £6

(Review on this soon! On first try I would not recommend, sadly! But I am going to give it a second chance...)

River Island:

NYX Nail Polish (yes, more nail polish!) in NPS139 Precious Gems £4.50

and I just HAD to have this when I saw it...

Mermaid blouse £25
I LOVE all things mermaid and this is beautiful!

I also picked up some random bits from the Spar!

Kerrang, just because.

Rainbow Drops, going back to childhood!

and WKD, going back to the early drinking days...hey, we needed some cheap pre-drinks!

I may aswell add this here, as it's not had a post to fit in to...

I got this blouse from Asda a few weeks back, just before Birmingham.

I saw it weeks earlier but wasn't 100% sure but waiting paid off, reduced to £5, had to get it!

Mum said she was horrified when she saw it hanging in my room but liked it on.

Here's how I styled it :)

I also picked up some of my usual purple hair dye, even though I'm still not decided on re-doing the purple yet...but it was on offer at £2.79 in Superdrug. The dye which I use is Schwarzkopf Live Color XXL 46 Cyber Purple. When my hair is dyed it looks something like this...

Not the faded out colour that it currently is!

But I am stuck on what to do...

Purple again, back to blonde, red, brown, ???

Help...

I still need to catch up on the lovely comments left on my previous posts but am currently in a rush to get ready for Lostprophets gig in Birmingham later! Well, I say later, Kelly is going to be at mine in 30 mins, AHHH!! Will catch up on comments tomorrow :)

Good afternoon all!

Last night I went to my friend Jamie's for his birthday house party, followed by town...

Harrod's Glossybox...I Caved.

So, I've only had 1 Glossybox before, the December box, which I did really like but stuck with my trusty Joliebox and unsubscribed from Glossybox.

BUT, today I saw that Glossybox had revealed the mystery behind the secret code, Knightsbridge...

A HARROD'S BOX!!!

I thought about it most of today, as I really don't have much cash atm! 3 weeks from payday I was down to just £83 to live/for Mother's Day/2 birthdays and run my car!!

However, I just caved :-/ I re-subscribed!! I bloomin' hope the box is brilliant! :)

Anyone else subscribed/re-subscribed for this box??

For more info, see Glossybox Facebook and website.

Also... 

MAC's new Viva Glam Nicki and Ricky are NOW AVAILABLE!! Check out the Viva Glam Nicki lipstick in my last post :) I love it!

To purchase, head over the the MAC website.

MAC Viva Glam Nicki (and some fun with wigs!)

On Friday I received an email with a special code to purchase MAC's new Viva Glam Lipstick, fronted this year by Nicki Minaj (Ricky Martin represents the Lip Conditioner).

I couldn't resist!

So I ordered...second MAC lipstick in just 6 days!

BUT ALL proceeds go to the MAC Aids Fund so it's all good, technically I just gave money to charity and got a lipstick for it :)

Anyway, enough rambling, my lipstick arrived today, here's some photos for you all...

and as Nicki is a lover of wigs...

I decided to have some wig fun of my own :)

 

I WANT BLONDE HAIR BACK :-(

I know, what a dork :)

My Thoughts:

I LOVE IT!!!

This is a Satin lipstick, so application is nice and smooth.

The lipstick is a yellow-toned pink/coral.

Long lasting.

and, as always, smells AMAZING!

The lipstick costs £13.50.

The latest Viva Glam collection should be available to all at some point this week/next week.

MAC website :)

Will you be buying?

Have you already bought this?

I've Been Naughty...

I got an email with an exclusive presale code...

Oh dear.

How exciting though, yes??

Today has been a bad day (in a good way!)...

I may have bought an amazing dress from Topshop online, gone late-night shopping at Merry Hill and bought a couple of things also...and now bought another MAC lipstick.

I say may, only may...this may not have happened...

Oopsy.
