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.

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.

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.

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.

What im loving this week! 8

This week I'm absolutely loving Sweet Strawberry lip gloss my Mac, it is this amazing berry pink colour that, and it is very highly pigmented. it soo pretty, the texture is sooo smooth but a little sticky, i only wish i had bought a back up.Ok I'm cheating a bit now because i only post one item that i love every week or a combination of two items but i cant help it, i have fallen hard and fast for Love and friend ship nail polish form Mac, this is by far my fav nail polish colour ever. It is a little on the streaky side and i did need two coats but i can forgive Mac for the formulation of polish because of the beautiful creamy lavender colour.

What im loving this week! 7

This week i am absolutely loving Volcano foot mask from Lush, this mask is wonderful, you apply it on for 10minutes and whilst you wash it off you massage it into your feet. it has pumice stone in it so when you massage it off it gets rid of all the dead skin. One jar lasts forever, i have all ready had 3 uses out of it. The Cinnamon in it really helped sooth my skin. it also has potatoes in it to help exfoliate. After i washed it off, i used Fair trade foot lotion, and it left my feet feeling really soft.

What im loving this week! 6

What I'm loving this week, is a combination of two items, Mac Dame blush and Mac Petticoat msf. Dame is a lovely dusty pink blush which gives you a pink flush, it has this blue shimmer in it, but it does not really show up on your face. Petticoat is this pinky, raspberry colour with gold veining, which adds this phenomenal glow to your cheeks, and paired with Dame it looks great.

Mac haul

After my exam yesterday, i thought i deserved a little treat, so i popped over to my nearest Mac counter, i had seen the Dazzle glasses before and really one wanted one, out of all 18 the one that really stuck out to me was Funtabulous. Funtabulous is pretty sheer, as are most Dazzle glasses, but i has this blue pink sparkle, it is so so pretty. It also has a brush applicator which i love, i feel i have more control with a brush applicator. I also got Inky liquid last liner, its a beautiful navy colour, and it has amazing staying power, i have to use an oil based eye make upr remover to take it off.

Tiny Mac haul

After my exam today i thought i would go to Mac to treat myself, i only really wanted to get two items from the Rose Romance. I wanted to get the Just a pinch gel blush. I did not like the colour of it in person, so i thought i would wait till they release more gels blushes in other collection and then choose a colour i actually like. I got the Love and friendship nail polish, it is a mid tone lavender with a glossy finish, the formulation seems to be good i only needed to put one coat on, it does not streak at all, i love this colour, its my favourite nail polish.

What im loving this week! 5

This week i am absolutely loving Pepermint Patti from Mac's Sugarsweet collection. This colour is so adorable, it is great for Spring and Summer, its a really fun colour. I did needed to put two coats on to get the colour i wanted and also to make sure it didn't come out streaky. I find i have to do this with most Mac nail polishes. This dries to a glossy finish. On another note i cant wait till Mac brings out Matte black nail polish. Also, i cant wait to pick up the nail polish from Rose Romance next week, the colour looks so pretty. I have never seen that dirty pink colour in nail polish form.

Review:Lush, Snow fairy

Snow fairy is the yummiest smelling shower gel,it fills your whole bath room with the smell, it smells like fruity and sweets. It is Bright pink. It also only comes out every Christmas, so i have to stock up for the rest of the year, hence the two bottles. The snow fairy is meant to have iridescent sparkles and it doses but it all rest at the bottom even if you try and mix it, you still do not see in the shower.The shower gel makes you feel clean but not very moisturised. I think i like this shower gel so much because of the smell and the colour. The price is not too bad either i think its one of there cheapest shower gels Lush carry. You can also use it in your hair it lathers up really well,but i still prefer my shampoo. Also, a little of this product really does go a long way. This is also available in 3 sizes at Christmas time.

Review:Lush Olive branch shower gel

Olive branch is my most favourite shower gel, it smells amazing, this is not the typical smell i go for, but i really do seem to like this one, the smell is definitely suitable for men, that may be why i love it so much because it smells like men's cologne. This really moisturises your skin and makes you feel ever so relaxed. I like how it is oily at the top and then you shake it, and it mixes up. It lathers up loads in the shower. The smell is really addictive i could not stop smelling it when i 1st got it. I would definitely buy the is product again. You can buy it in 3 sizes 100g 250g and 500g.

My Lush cake

As you all know i have an obsession with Lush, there is one particular product that i really like and that is the Ring of roses butter cream. It has this amazing lemony Orange smell and feels great on my skin, very moisturising. So my parents got me the whole lush cake for my last birthday. I have a lot of family member and ended up cutting it up and giving half of the cake away but i still had loads left for me!!

Hair Care

I have very thin black hair, that gets greasy over night, i have tried loads of different kinds of shampoos and conditioners, nothing helped stop my hair getting greasy so fast , so i gave up and opted for something more environmentally friendly. I love Lush, so decided to try there hair care range. I was in the store and told the women what my hair type is, then she told me about Big shampoo and this other that shampoo that is meant to increase hair growth,i loved the idea of having thick hair. So i decided to try the one that increase hair growth. Its is called the New shampoo, one shampoo bar is meant to last as long as 3 bottles of shampoo bottles. It has Cinnamon essential oils and clove in it, to stimulate growth. It has no packing or preservatives, which is good for the environment and if you buy two bars together you get a tin free. It is easy to use, it lathers and cleans my hair really well. As for making my hair thicker, well I'm on my third bar now will report back after i have used may be 5/ 6 bars.

Next, i condition my hair with Veganese conditioner, this conditioner is for all types oh hair, it had agar seaweed gel to softener hair and also has lavender and lemons to add shine, which it does. This product is vegan friendly as well. The smell of this conditioner is amazing, i love the smell of lemons, it smells like burnt lemons to me. This conditioner makes my hair tangle-free and leaves it amazingly soft.

Cute Tweezers Haul

I was walking past this shop called Octopus today, i have been in this shop before and loved all the cute quirky things in there. Today i came across something that i had not seen before. It was these wonderful tweezers, they came in a of load of different characters, a nurse a ballerina etc. I was in the market for new tweezers and thought why not. I got this one...

I love this one, its soo cute, and ever so sharp. It also comes with a stand.

Review: Batiste Dry Shampoo

The other day i was watching one of Lollipop26 videos, and she mentioned a dry shampoo. My hair gets oily over night, so i have to wash it every day, and i know this is not very good for my hair, and really do not like doing. When I'm spending a day at home i don't like sitting at home with greasy hair and i certainly do want to wash it either. Also, when i need to pop to the grocery shop i do not like washing my hair just to pop out for 10 Min's. So i decided to go to my nearest boots and try the Batiste dry shampoo out. This product cleans and refreshes my hair without washing. I also, find that it adds volume to my hair, after my hair has gone greasy it tends to go flat. This product is also not very expensive, i think i picked it up from Boots for about £2.00. On the downside it does not last a long time, it lasts bout 3hours, so if i wanted it to last a whole day i would use it 2/3times a day, which i have no problem with. The smell also may be strong for some but I'm okay with it! I can definitely see my self getting through a lot of these.

What im loving this week! 4

This week I'm absolutely loving, Cup Cake face mask from Lush. As you all know i have oily temperamental skin, and i find if i use this face mask twice a week it keeps my skin at bay! Theses fresh face mask have a self life of about 4 week, i find if i used i twice a week it last me 4 weeks. The smell is Devinne... i have to stop myself form eating it. The consistency of this product is rather thick, so it is not the easiest thing in the world to apply. This is best applied straight out of the fridge, because it is a fresh face mask it needs to be stored in the fridge also, if you take it straight out of the fridge it make your skin feel tingly when you apply it. The face mask has these little beads in, and when you wash the mask off you can rub the beads into your skin to give it a slight exfoliation. The Linseed and Cococa butter is meant soften your skin. Rhossoul mud is meant to cleanse soothe your skin. I would definitely recommend this product to every one with oily troublesome skin.
