Makeup Haul! (part one)
my current makeup drawers in my dressing table

There is one thing that no one should come inbetween and that is me and makeup aka my bae. Since starting my job in November i finally got paid a very generous amount and couldnt resist spending it all on new makeup. In this haul is a mixture of both high street and higher end department store makeup, hope you all enjoy!

Mac
I have recieved /bought four things recently at mac, these were two eyeshadows and two lipsticks. The two lipsticks were both gifts off my friend and sister and they are absolutley to die for the first shade has been my all time favourite for a good year now and it ran out so my sister kindly bought me a new one. This shade is called 'Rebel', this lipstick is a sheer deep purple which can make any makeup look so much more dramatic and can really make a basic outfit. I love this lipstick so much as it really suits my skin tone and looks really good for beign used by a pale person, i literally use this lipstick every party and i will inserts some pictures of me wearing it and it swatched on my hand. This lipstick is perfect for this time of year.

The other shade of lipstick i got was matte cover and its in the shade 'Diva',this lipstick is beautiful and yet again really suits in with the winter/autumn look at the minute. The matte finish really dramtises the look when applied and it can totally transform your look, i was given this lipstick a few days ago when writing this so hopefully i will have some more pictures by the time this is uploaded. I can definitley see this up in the favourites as its such a stunning finish and colour.

When im not obsessing over lipsticks im crying over dozens of shades of eyeshadows, so when i was in the local mac stand i couldnt resist but to buy two pans and a quad for them to store them and to buy more in the near future. The two shades i bought were 'shroom' and 'plum dressing', these eye shadows were very different in colour contrast. Shroom is a beautiful champagne shade i bought this for my more natural looks when im back at sixth form and more of an everyday look. The eyeshadows has suttle shimmers in it so you can still see it and its not completely discreet, i can see this being used quite frequently. Plum dressing is dark plum (obvious i know) purple shade and i think this fits perfect with the lipstick Rebel and this would give a glamourous evening look matched with an all black outfit.

Urban Decay
I only purchsed two things from the urban decay stand in the local debenhams as the illumator i longed for had sold out in both shades (moment of silence for me please). However i made up for that buy purchasing both the naked basics palette and the all night setting spray. I decided to purchase the basics palette before going for the number two palette, as this was cheaper and i decided to invest in some more matte shades as i have already got a selection of sleek,metallic eyeshadows. I love this palette as the colours are very simplistic and are beuatiful to work with for natural looks as well as the darker shades for the dramatic evening look. The next investment from urban decay was the all nighter lasting setting spray, i have seena nd used this frequently in the past due to all my friends obsession with it, and when i bought it i was so happy to have my own bottle at last! This is the most amazing thing in the makeup world it not only does wionders to your makeup it smells amazing and it definitley does everything it states. You get a large amount for the price you pay and yes £20 does seem extortionate for a bottle of spray however one bottle will make last forever and it is amazing for parties when you need the long wear.


Hope this helped you in making some important makeup choices sorry this has been cut short due some of th makeup i have ordered has not arrived yet so i shall be doing a part two to this blog post!

Christmas favourites!

 As you all know it has just passed christmas and the man in the red suit paid us a little visit and was hopefully good to you all.However this post is all based on my favourite presents which i recieved this year, ENJOY!

Ted Baker makeup set 
This is my first all time favourite present which i recieved,i got this off my auntie and uncle. I nearly cried when i opened this up as this was high up on the makeup wish list!

 The set included:
  • a mascara
  • an eyeliner (which is fabulous)
  • 2 eye crayons in a silver and gold shade (so easy to apply and uneblievabley metallic)
  • a lip crayon in a berry shade (perfect for winter)
  • a quad bronze blush set 
  • eyelash curlers 
  • two higlighters white and gold shades 
  • 2 nail varnishes 
This all came in a beautiful pastle city themed boxed which made it ten times prettier!

Nike roshes 
As much as i am a lover of things including heels and all things shoes i believe all woman need a good pair of comfy trainers and when i opened my nike roshes i was more than happy. I had previsously gotten a pair of these in an orange and grey colour however i overwore them in the summer and they ended up getting holes in the soles. My new additon to my trainer fam are white,pink and have grey speckles all over! i almost died at how soft they felt and the way they feel when you walk in them, its almost as if you're walking on clouds. Since this pair are so white and delicae i hope to look after them properly and use them only at the gym ( if i ever make it to the gym).


what did you get?

hope the big man was good to you all!
