Collective haul

Ok, so this haul is long over due. i have had some of these item for nearly 3 weeks now. So here they are.....
I have been using foundation for a couple of years now, the reason i started using it was because i got a few spots and desperately wanted to cover them up and now i have realised that it was the worst thing i could have done for my skin. Even now i do not need foundation but cant bare not to have something on my face to even out my skin tone. So i decided to pick up a Mac's tinted moisturiser, i have used tinted moistuser before but honestly cant remember what i thought of it but after i used it a couple of years back i did think it did not give me enough coverage and went on to use foundation. Mac' s seems ok. it does even out my skin tone and i use MSF natural over it to keep away shine.
I also picked up a couple of lip products, i got my first red lipstick in Lady danger. Its a Orange base red and looks really good with my skin tone. I also picked up my 1st Slimshine in Fushine its pretty, and i really like the feel of it. The D squared collection launched in the UK on Thursday, and form there i picked up this milky pink called nude rose, now this lipstick is a lustre and i thought i could not wear luster's because it made my lips look dry but this ones looks really nice. The last lip product i picked up was Spring beam lipsglass, i have had this on my wish list for a very long time now, and was happy when i picked it up. it looks really good on top of lady danger.
D squared also released the sculpt and shape duos again, i picked Accentuate and Sculpt and i loooove it. It looks so flattering on. Also from that same collection i picked up the black grease paint stick and i love it.
I finally picked up the eyeshadow brush of all eye shadow brushes the Mac 239...... and it really is Fab. lastly i got Beyond jealous, it not as pretty as i thought it would be but its OK, i really wanted Cool reserve but it sold out. boohoo

Red cherry haul

I ordered 6 lashes for me and 6 for my cousin and two duo glues for only $34.47, this price included international shipping as well. So, in £'s it was only £21.12. The lashes each cost $1.49. That is amazingly cheap, there good quality as well, they were so easy to apply and so comfortable to wear. Shipping was amazing too, i got them in 10days, and i live in the UK, so that's is really fast. I cant wait to place my next order.

Lash heaven!!!

Photo Realism tutorial

This is the look i came up with using the Photo Realism quad, i used Clinique brush on cream liner in True black as a base.

Make up artist collection and Nail Trend haul

The Photo realism quad comes with a light champagne colour, 2 mid green and a forest greens, i love the forest green, i think its my fav colour in the quad. I also find this quad works best with a black base. I also picked up Personal taste lipsglass, and Dry Martini nail polish. Make sure you check out the collections, the colours are stunning.
What are you going to pick up from the latest Mac collection?

I'm back......with a haul

Hey guys, sorry i have been away for ages, just been busy went to visit family for a while, but you ll be happy to hear that i have been hauling while i have been away. Here's a snap shot of what i have picked up..
I have been wanting a Msf natural for a while and heard fantastic reviews about it, but I'm sorry to say I'm so disappointed with this product, i think more so because i thought it was gonna be my H.G powder and it just was not.

I was reading lolllipop26s blog the other day and she raved about Aveda's hair abundance potion. So I decided to pick one up, it does add volume and it does do what its meant to do to, but again im not wowed especially considering the price.

Graphic Garden got released in the UK this month, and i had been waiting for this pallet for ages and was so happy when i got it, i love this pallet, you can do so many looks with it.

This Eid I'm wearing a smokey green and brown Saree so i really wanted to smokey sultry eyes, so i got Buckwheat and Brun, if i add tempting to this combo it creates a perfect smokey/sultry brown eye.

I also, got some more of Lush's lip balms, I'm addicted to these.

Hitting pan....

Today i hit pan on one of favourite blushes and it filled me with a sense of satisfaction, not only have i used it enough but now i can justify getting another blush. I have hit pan and finished pressed powders before but its just not the same feeling.


Does anyone else feel the same?

Mac Haul

So, i have another haul for you guys, i visited Mac yesterday and picked up a few items. I got my very 1st paint pot ever, i wanted one that would match my skin tone so i could use it with different colours. I have not tried it yet, but cant wait.

I really Funtabulous dazzlglass so decided to pick up another one, when i was there i was automatically drawn to Love alert. Its not too sheer, and is totally wearable, it has red and pink sparkle, its so beautiful.

I had also heard a lot a Fabulush cream colour base, and decided to pick it up, it looks like a scary reddish gold/coral colour but goes on my skin tone this beautiful peachy colour. I have only used this as a blush so far, cant wait to use it as and eyeshadow.

My cousin gave the see through lip colour in Secret crush, when i put this on it looks like i have just ate cherries. It last the whole day, and dries to a satin finish, and you cant even tell you have it on most of the time. and lastly i picked up a sharpener for my eye pencils.

Michelle's double winged eye liner

I have been really ill for the past couple of days and barely been able to get out of bed, so i decided to catch up on all the YouTube vidz and read blogs posts that i haven't had a chance to read, what else can you do lying in bed ill, right? so last night i came across Michelle's video on double winged eye liner... and i was amazed!!!! It looked so pretty and funky at the same time, as soon as i watched it i jumped put of bed literally, to try it out on my eyes. That was the 1st time all day i actually wanted to get out of bed. Its so cute and fresh looking.

Colour craft haul

Yey!!! colour craft was released in stores yesterday.I had been waiting for this collection for a while now and was so excited for it. I had been eyeing Warm blend Msf ever since i saw pictures of it. This is exactly the colour i wanted, its this warm rich brown.

Next i picked up, Fad-dabulous. OMG this is my fav blush.i really didn't think i was gonna get that this one, it has loads of gold veining and it comes out this peachy apricot colour on my cheeks.

I also, picked up Madly creative lipstick, its this pinky mauve colour, but I'm not too sure about this colour on me, the colour is gorgeous but I'm not sure i love it on me

What im loving this week....

.....Clinique Strawberry fudge colour surge eye shadow. Ok so i ve had this for a very long time, When i first got it, i was amazed by it, but since then i kind of forgot about it. I really think this is the perfect duo. it has this iridescent gold pink and a darker rich brown. Both colours are highly pigmented, which is rare for Clinique. The pinky gold is a very unique colour, it has this beautiful goldy bronze undertone, it also has this hint of copper in it, perfect for the summer. The two colours have a real silky feel to them they are super easy to blend. It also has really good staying power even with out a primer. This product was definitely worth the price and i hope it lasts for ever.

I blame this on Lollipop26

The other day i was reading lolipop26's blog and she had just purchased this beautiful cocktail ring form Topshop. It was this beautiful black ring that took up half her finger. I love wearing statement pieces of jewellery so i thought i would check it out. When i got there i saw they had one in cream, and i picked it up straight away, and it fits perfectly on my hands.

I originally i only wanted a few items from the Mac Style warriors collection, and when i got there to check it out the only thing i picked up was Brave new bronze lipstick. Brave new bronze is this pinky beige colour. This is the best nude colour for me, i have tried on so many nude lipsticks and they have looked awful. I also really wanted Sunsational lipstick but they did not have it in stock anymore, my own fault really should have picked it up sooner.

New make up set up

Hey everyone, thought i would post a picture of my new make up set up, i picked this up yesterday and I'm totally in love with it. I love the pink patterns on the side. I really wanted it in black but they did not have any left, so i ended up picking the pink set up. I stacked 2 large ones and one medium draw on top of each other.

Yes..... its another Glitzy Glam Haul!

I'm so in love the products i ordered, i ordered a Key chain and a head band. It came packaged ridiculously cute, as always. I thought this key chain would be perfect for me, as i keep losing my keys in the bottom of my MASSIVE bag. The key chain is so cute, the material is durable and of a high quality. For £5.03 its is really reasonably priced and so well made. I also ordered a head band, i use Lush' s face masks about 3 times a week, and i ways seems to get it in my hair, so i thought this would be perfect to keep the mask out of my hair.

Gorgeous

Gorgeous is such a wonderful moisturiser, its fantastic for combination skin and leaves a matte finish, the smell of orange blossom in this is beautiful. Its a little on the pricey side but a little goes along way. This cream just melts in to my skin, and leaves a radiant glow. The moisturiser is the perfect texture. All the cold pressed oils leaves my skin ever so soft.
