Small Mac Haul | 2015

Hi Guys, 

As you can tell from the title of this post, I have a little mac haul for you guys. Now I should probably say that I didn't buy all of this in one shop, this has been spread out over a few weeks worth of shopping. and two of the items were given to me as a present from my Auntie in America, these items will have a (*) next to them. 

so lets get on with the haul...

..........

 .............

First up is a standard pressed powder, now I have wanted a powder from Mac for a while because I have heard so much about them. And I find that most of the high-street pressed powders smash so easily. I though I'd give one a go. So far it is going good and I am really happy with it.

Blot Powder/Pressed

Light

£20.50

.............

Next is a highlighter, Mac highlighters get raved about so much within the beauty world. and this one defiantly lives up to the standard. it is the most gorgeous highlighter I have ever applied to my face. it looks so natural. 

(*)

Mineralized Skin Finish

Lighscapade

£23

..................

The famous Mac lipstick. No Mac haul would be complete without a mac lipstick of some sort. And this one is no exception. as I've said in a previous post, mac lipsticks are addictive and no make-up addicts collection would be complete without a hand full of these little black beautys.

The first one is a red/nude colour called crème in your coffee, it is a creamsheen. Its is absolutely stunning! I actually got recommended this by a former teacher of mine (Hi Mrs Page!).

 (*)

The second one is a cute girly pink colour called please me, and its a matte finish. Its is going to be a prefect shade of this summer. 

£15.50

............

Again this is something I've heard a lot about, this is suppose to be the ultimate Concealer, and a high-end dupe for the collection concealer. Now let me tell you, this is a holy grail concealer to me now! I wont apply my make-up without it any more. 

Pro Longwear Concealer

NW15

£17

...............

Next up is a good old dark pink blush, its not the traditional pink girly blush most people would buy. but I just wanted to try something new, and like most things I buy from Mac I feel in love with this the first time I used it. 

Powder Blush

Margin

£18

.............

So a few months ago I started a Mac Pro Palette, and occasionally I will buy an eye-shadow for the palette, so that it gradually fills up. This bronzie colour is prefect for the eyelid crease if you want a natural/nude eyes. 

Eye-shadow/pro Palette Refill Pan

Arena

£10

.................

Last but not lease, over the past few months I think, Mac have been giving away small samples of the False Lash Extreme Black Mascara with ever purchase. So as you can imagine I have accumulated quite a few over the past few weeks. Now I'm not into the whole High end mascara stuff because I still say a mascara is a mascara whether its high end or not. But I have to say this one is particularly good. So once I've finished with my heap of samples I may just purchased the full sized mascara. 

..............

Feel free to make any suggestions for other blog posts you want me to write or any Mac products that you love!

Lush Haul | Spring 2015

Hi Guys, 

So a couple of days ago I went on a little shopping trip and end up in one of my all time favourite shops, lush! I figured as I was running low on my collection of bath bombs I may as well stock up, so I did and I though I would do a small lush haul for you guys. 

I know the shop can be a little  intimidating (if you've never been in there before) with all the smells and colours. Believe it or not I know a couple of people who cant stand the smell of the shop, but I guess its just personal preference. 

I thought a little haul of some for this season, would be helpful for some of you who are new to the idea of lush or just cant make up up their minds.

Just a side note, the lush I went to hasn't that big, so they didn't have all the favourites, but form the collection they did have I picked what look like the best ones.

So lets get started!

.............

So the first one is called space girl. I have used this one before and if I remember correctly, has quite a sweet fruity smell. It also turns your bath a beautiful deep purple colour with flecks of glitter and popping candy. 

Space girl - Bath bomb
Feel out of this World

 .............

This one is definitely the cutest bomb lush do, its the ickle baby bot. I think it is aimed at little children, but I don't care because it is so prefect for a time when you just want to relax because it is lavender scented. 

Ickle Baby Bot  Bath bomb
Sleepy time Soother

 .............

I am yet to try the sakura bomb yet, but it looks pretty cool with and the different colours in it. It looks and smells like a spring bath bomb, and I cant wait to try it!

Sakura - Bath bomb
Blooming lovely

 .............

This one I have tried many times, it is so cute and small and prefect for those days where your feeling extra girly, because it turns your bath water a gorgeous pink colour. The think pink bomb also has small heart shaped paper confetti in side, which just gives it that extra special touch.

Think Pink - Bath bomb
Feel Pretty in Pink

 .............

This has to be one of my all time favourites from this season, its the twilight bomb.

It if full of essential oils which helps you to relax after a long, hard day of shopping, (or work which ever you prefer). And like most lush bombs, has flexs of glitter inside.

Twilight - Bath bomb
Let the sun set on worries

 .............

Last but not least, this isn't actually a bath bomb its a bubble bar. A bubble bar is designed to be crumbled under the running water so that it creates colours as well as bubbles. I haven't tried the brightside bumble bar, but from the citrusy smell of it, I can tell it will be a good one for the mornings to wake you up. 

Brightside- Bubble bar
Bright Bathing.............
So as I mentioned in the start the one I went to didn't have all of the favourites, But one I am yet to find in any shops I have been to is the new frozen lush bombs they look pretty amazing!
So please comment below if you know where to get them form!
Thanks for reading!

Drugstore haul | Spring 2015

Hi Guys, 

Over the past month there have been a lot of new products added to our high street/drug store shops. (by high-street/drugstore shops I means Boots and Superdrug) so as you can imagine I have been acquiring quite the collection of new and old'er products. So I thought I'd share with you what I brought! 

Most for these products I haven't tried yet. so I cant say whether or not I liked them, but for the ones I have tried I will briefly talk about.

Bold Metals Collection by Real Techniques 301 Flat Contour.

£22

I personally don't think its worth that amount of money at all. not very good at contouring, but for applying foundation it is quite good.

Soap and Glory Archery 2 in 1 Brow Filling Pencil and Brush - Hot Chocolate

£8.00

No7 Instant Radiance Highlighter 

£9.95

Really good, and easily bendable.

Bourjois Poudre de Riz de Java

SEVENTEEN Smoulder Gel Eyeliner.

£3.99

One of the best eye-liners I own! 

Maybelline Dream Flawless Nude Foundation

£8.99

It is really good, left with a satin smooth finish. But some of it gets wasted because it is so runny it gets everywhere.

Tanya Burr I Found Nemo Lip Gloss

£6.99

MUA Eyeshadow Palette Undress Me Too

£4.00

Revlon Colourstay Concealer 

£6.99

Really good coverage.

Haul | Makeup Revolution

Hi Guys, 

So I recently did a make-up revolution order. I've heard quite a lot about their products but actually brought any. so I thought I'd do a little haul of what I brought and what I think for each product.

The first thing I brought was this shimmer blush, I'm not really into shimmer blushes, but the packaging is pretty so I figured I may as well give it a try. 

Bushing Hearts, Triple Baked Blush, Iced Hearts.

£4.99

Now I personally love a good eye-shadow palette, and make-up revolution have an amazing selection. Again like the blush this one stood out to me because it was in the shape of the chocolate bar. But I have to admit the eye-shadows them selves are actually amazing, they are really pigmented.

I heart Makeup, Naked Chocolate

£7.99

(front of the palette)

 Here are the names of the eye-shadows from top left to bottom right.

(smoothly, divine, adorable, buttons, frosted choc, double dip, tab-le-rone, white)

(mocha lover, dipped, choc-fest, delight, sweet shop, suger, milky, way)

This next product I brought on a whim. Its a anti shine balm, 

So as you can see I have already used it once, and if I'm honest I wasn't that impressed with it. Within a few hours my face was back to be oily again, so I resorted to using powder again.

Wouldn't recommend it.

ultra all day prime & anit-shine balm

£5.oo

So I really a product that does more than 1 thing. so a palette that contains a bronzer, blush and highlighter is perfect. most people will probably have the sleek palette, which at first glance would look almost identical to this one, But its not. I prefer this palette over the sleek one purely because the sleek one contains a shimmer blush, which like I've said previously, I hate. The blush and bronzer are matte.

iconic, blush bronze & brighten flush

£4.oo

Now when I saw this product I had high hopes for it. Mainly because it is a brow tint in tube, but also because it says its none smudge. But sadly I was disappointed with it, it is defiantly not none smudge, and its quite think, which means it comes out quite dark.

ultra Aqua Brow Tint, medium

£3.oo

I think this lip lava is one of my favourite, products I brought from make-up revolution, its a gorgeous colour, stays on for a long time and dry's matte but with a hint of gloss. 

I would highly recommend these, I might just have to go back and order some more colours. 

I heart makeup, lip lava, tremor

£2.99

There lip sticks are so cheep, I couldn't quite believe it, which is why I thought I'd better give them a try to see how good they are. Now they are defiantly not the best lipsticks in the world, but they are most certainly not the worst lipsticks in the world either. They are a bit too creamy with not enough colour for my liking. But for the price, I'm sure there are crappier lipsticks.

Amazing lipstick, Mystify

£1.oo

So on to some more eye shadows. who doesn't love a good eye-shadow? haha.

the colour of this eye shadows doesn't show up too well on camera which is why I haven't included a picture of a swatch. its a very light silvery brown, and isn't that pigmented so when you apply it is more of a light shimmer than an actual colour. 

Eye-shadow, good life

£1.oo

I don't normally go for eye-shadow pigments, purely because they can get really messy and turn everything shimmery. but for the sake of my blog I'd give this one a go because it is such a pretty gold/champagne colour. I haven't yet worn it, but from the swatch that I did, it looks very promising. 

Eye dust, Indirect

£1.oo

Feel free to make any suggestions for other blog posts you want me to write or any Makeup Revolution product that you like/recommend.
