A little trip to MAC

Hi Ladies,

So I visited the MAC counter the other day for the first time in ages and I thought I would share with you what I picked up.

I wanted to try an eyebrow pencil and had gone to the counter with the intention of purchasing the colour lingering, However the sales assistant steered me towards the colour ''fling'' and I'm so pleased she did! Fling is a light golden brown - it is a perfect colour match for my brows and blends perfectly with my hair colour too I'm so pleased with it.

While I was there I repurchased my good old favourite concealer MAC's studio finish. I still love this concealer and am yet to find anything which works as well as it does for me. I use the colour NW20, it provides great coverage and is really long lasting. I'm sure you've seen it a million times before but here's a picture just in case! :)

What are your favourite MAC products?

Hope you're having a lovely weekend!

July Favourites! (a little late)

Hi Ladies,

Sorry this is a little late, I've been mega busy this week, and I never seem to get round to doing my monthy favourites even though they're one of my favourite posts to read! I have found quite a few new products I really like the past month or so, so here are my super July faves :)

It was actually started raining while I was taking these photo's (can you tell!) once I got inside it progressed into a full blown storm, I can't believe its the middle of summer! anyway onto the favourites!

I always have one of these little Carex hand gels in my handbag. The grapefruit and lime refreshing aroma gel is my favourite, people have actually asked me what perfume I'm wearing after I've used it!

The two nail polishes I have been reaching for the most this summer have been BarryM's Pink Flamingo which is quite possibly my all time favourite BarryM nail paint and Rimmels 10 day nail colour in Cafe Au Lait. Cafe au lait is a really great nude nail varnish, it is perfect for work and I find it lasts really well. I always like the way my nails look when I wear this colour.

Batiste dry shampoo in blonde is by far my top dry shampoo, it blends really well with my hair colour and I love the scent.

I've been really impressed with the Schwarzkopt got2b guardian angel heat protection spray which I bought earlier this month. Unlike some heat protectants it doesn't leave my hair feeling heavy or sticky. Its very light, smells lovely and leaves my hair feeling smooth and sleek. I love the packaging too!

The Me Me Me Blush Me blush in coral has definitely been my most reached for blush this July. Its a really pretty wearable coral with a fine shimmering finish which gives a lovely glow. This has satisfied my lust for Benefit's Coralista (for now!).

And finally MAC's Pink Plaid lipstick, has not left my handbag since I bought it. It is a matt finish which I don't normally go for, but for me it is a fab wearable pink with great staying power.

and thats everything :) let my know what your favourite have been the past month, and have a fabulous August!

A Little MAC Haul :)

Hi Ladies,

Even though my birthday was months ago, I still had some birthday pennies stowed away in a drawer in my room which I decided to finally spend in MAC over the weekend.

I have had my eye on two lippies for ages. I've never bought Costa Chic before because I always thought it would be too bright for me, but I love the colour. I finally decided it would be perfect for my summer holiday and needed to be added to my collection. Pink Plaid is a lipstick which my friend always has in her handbag, It had never really caught my eye on the counter before and It is also a matte which isn't a finish I usually go for, but I am forever borrowing it from her so I decided it was about time I picked one up for myself :)

I have worn Costa Chic everyday since! I absolutely love it, its such a lovely summery colour with a really glossy finish and looks great teamed with a really simple eye look and a touch of peachy blusher.

Last but not least I picked up my all time favourite concealer - the studiofinish concealer which lasts forever! I normally use nw15 but decided to get nw20 as I think nw15 has started to look a little too light for me since summer has started.

and thats everything! Hope you're having fantastic week :)

Whats In My Makeup Bag..? Handbag Edition!

Hi Ladies,

As I have never actually done a whats in my makeup bag post (I know - crazy!) I thought it was about time I jumped on the bandwagon! As my make up collection is in complete disarray at the moment with moving house, I decided to show you what I carry around in the little makeup bag which I keep in my handbag.

This was a Christmas present which came with some smellies in, I believe it is from boots - how cute are the cupcakes! I literally emptied out the contents and photographed them for you so there were a couple of things which had somehow creeped inside (hello essie nail varnish!).

So - Whats inside?

MAC eyeshadow in tissueweight - This is a lovely peachy pink, perfect for day to day wear.

MAC Studio Sculpt Concealer NW15 - This concealer has great coverage and lasts forever.

MAC Viva Glam GAGA lipstick - Everyone needs a fabulous pink lippie!

Essie Exposure Nail Varnish - My current favourite nail polish, no idea why it was in here though!

Loreal Voluminous Mascara - I picked this up recently, it used to be my holy grail mascara and I still think its fab, but its a little clumpier than I remember!

MAC Teddy Eyeliner - dark brown eyeliner with a touch of gold

Stila kajal Eyeliner in topaz - a nude/peach eyeliner, perfect for the inner corner and lower lash line to brighten up tired eyes!

Loreal Super Liner in carbon gloss - Liquid eyeliner with great staying power

MAC Brushes - 217 great for blending, mini 187 I use my full size 187 for applying liquid foundation but I use this one for applying my MSF natural for touch ups during the day, mini 168 lovely fluffy blush brush.

And finally I keep these in the front pocket of my handbag so I couldn't leave them out! :) MAC msf natural, and Stereo Rose - Which I have already hit pan on! If anyone knows a good dupe, please let me know!

and thats everything :-)

Hope you're having a great week!

(Slightly Belated) November Favourites! :-)

Hi Ladies,

So its time for my slightly late November favourites. Sorry for the delay - with the snow, the rising panic of not having bought many people Christmas presents and far too much work to do life has got a little hectic! Anyway, enough rambling and on to the products!

1. Soap and Glory Girligo - This spray on body moisturiser has been on of my go to products since the cold weather started. Its really quick and easy to use, it leaves my skin feeling moisturised and refreshed and it smells delicious!

2. St Tropez wash off instant glow body lotion - I was sent this for review purposes and have been so impressed that I have bought it to go in a certain someones Christmas stocking (I hope they don't read this!). It gives a lovely natural golden colour, and the formula leaves my skin feeling smooth and soft. This is by far my favourite instant tan, look out for a full review coming soon :)

3. MAC Creme Cup Lipstick - This is my current go to lip colour. Its a subtle, glossy pink perfect for day to day wear and as it's a cremesheen it has a lovely, moisturising formula.

4. Sephora by OPI Metro Chic - This is the first of my two Winter nail varnish loves. Metro Chic is a dirty lilac toned grey. It looks fab with chunky knits and boots :-)

5. OPI My private Jet - I forgot how much I love my private jet! Its a unique glistening grey/brown. One of my favourite OPI colours.

6.Organic 7th Heaven Chocolate Nourishing Mask - I've not been feeling too great lately, and a bit of a pamper with a face mask always cheers me up! This deep cleansing mask is one of my favourites, it contains organic cocoa butter and peppermint and leaves my skin feeling lovely. It does of course smell fantastic too!

7. MAC MSF Natural - A little boring I know but I lost this product a few days ago and couldn't believe how much I struggled without of it! I apply this with my MAC 187 all over my face after concealing any problem areas and I'm done! It has great staying power, and gives my face a flawless finish.

and thats everything! Hope your all getting into your Christmas shopping, are you asking for anything exciting for christmas?

Have a fab week!

Ins, Outs and I'm guest blogging at Zuneta! :-)

Hi Ladies

I've just settled down with a cup of tea and a biscuit so I thought I'd give you a little update on things with me in the form of an ins and outs post (who doesn't love these!).

In

MAC brule eyeshadow - I'm loving this eyeshadow at the moment, it's perfect for effortless ''no makeup'' makeup, and looks fab all over the lid with winged liquid liner. My go to look at the moment!

Getting active - Last week I went to two aerobics classes and my first ever yoga class (which was so relaxing!). I felt so refreshed and full of energy afterwards, I can't wait to go back this week!

Christmas shopping - To spread the cost of Chrimbo I have oficially started my Christmas shopping! I've only picked up little bits and bobs so far, but Its made me so excited! I know its early but I'm feeling a little festive already! :-)

Marc Jacobs, Lola - Since the cold weather has definitely started I decided it was time to put down my summer scent (Nina by Nina Ricci - I love this) and change it up a little. I got Lola for Christmas last year and it is lovely - Light, fruity and floral :)

The Million Pound Drop - I was addicted to this programme last time it was on - and I am again! I think the concept is fab and I even roped the boyfriend into playing along with me last night (We didn't make it past three questions - massive fail!)

Out

Brrrr its cold in here! - I can't believe how quickly it has become so cold. I've already got out the scarves, mittens and hot water bottles! It also seems to absolutely tip it down every time I walk into Uni at the moment - time to invest in a properly waterproof coat I feel!

Nude lipstick - Don't get me wrong, I still love my nudes but at the moment I've been really enjoying wearing brighter lippies, MAC's Snob is my current fave :)

Teeny tiny bottles - I've run out of my Sephora primer after less than a months use. why oh why can you only buy a o.o5 oz bottle!

and thats all my ins and outs for the moment! :) I also just wanted to let you know some exciting news - I'm doing a couple of guest blog posts on Zuneta in the next few weeks - yippeee!
My first post went live today, and it is all about my top tips for getting happy healthy hair. If you would like to take a peek you can do by clicking HERE! :-) It would be lovely to have some feedback from you all! :)

Hope you're all having a lovely week, and its not too cold where you are!

A little Haul :)

Hi Ladies!

I just thought I'd share with you a few things I have picked up over the last couple of weeks. With Christmas coming up I have tightened those purse strings so this will probably be the last haul for a while, I've actually started writing down everything I spend daily in a bid to save some pennies!


So - Onto the products!

1. MAC Fix + - I've actually never used fix + before, so after hearing so much about it (refreshed long lasting makeup yes please!) I thought it was about time I gave it a try. I've only used this once so far as a finishing mist and am yet to try using it as a mixing medium so look out for an update on what I think to it :)

2. MAC Creme Cup lipstick - I was looking for a new lipstick for day to day wear and creme cup definitely fits the bill. Its is lovely wearable pink, and has that fabulous glossy cremesheen finish - I just hope it doesn't start to melt too soon!

3. Rimmel Lash Accelerator Mascara - I picked this up on offer in superdrug last week and have been using it daily since. I actually really like it as a mascara, its got a medium sized tapered brush, and applies really well but I'm yet to see any lash accelerating effects! Although I do like this mascara, it hasn't wow-ed me so I'm not sure yet whether I'd repurchase.

4. Bobbi Brown foundation Stick Compact - This is the compact version of the Bobbi brown foundation stick which I picked up at a CCO. It can be used as both a foundation and a concealer, but I have only used it as a concealer (I prefer liquid foundations). On first impressions it has a creamy, buildable consistancy and the colour I went for (porcelain) is a really great match for my skintone :)

and thats everything! Look out for a new product of the week coming up soon (its a bargain buy too!) and hope you're having a lovely week. I'm going to a yoga for the first time tonight (eek!). Then I'm definitely ging to be settling down with a cup of tea to watch the apprentice!

Current Favourites :)

Hi Ladies,

So I think I have pretty much missed the boat for September favourites! So here are some of the lovely things I am reaching for at the moment, and a very recent purchase which I am in love with already! :)


1 - St Moriz tanning mist - I purchased this a couple of weeks ago after using the St Moriz tanning mousse for a while and I like this spray version just as much as the original (if not a tiny bit more!) Its quick and easy to apply, and gives a lovely sunkissed colour - thumbs up all round!

2 - Sheer Blonde Gleam Creme - This product never leaves my handbag, and I have used it regulary since I was about fifteen so I thought it was about time I showed it some love! It refreshes the ends of my hair when they start to feel dry and tames fly aways without leaving it greasy, this is one of my favourite hair products.

3 - NYC creme blush in plaza pink - I picked this up on my holidays this summer and I'm so glad I did! its adds a lovely peachy pink glow to the cheeks and is really easy to apply - just twist it up, pop a little on and blend with your fingers - easy peasy! :)

4 - NYX lipstick in Paris - This has been the lippie I have been reaching for most recently on nights out, its a fabulous bright pink with great staying power.

5 - MAC eyeshadow in Naked Lunch - I love this eyeshadow, so much so that I only have the tiniest bit left! it's a really subtle champagne pink with just the right amount of shimmer. I would definitely say this is my most used eye shadow, it looks great teamed with pretty much anything.

6 - MAC eyeshadow in Corduroy - Another favourite eyeshadow, corduroy is a matt brown which I use in the outer corner to add a little extra definition although it might look a little boring in the pan, this is really well pigmented and easy to build upon - I love it!

7 - Kinder eggs - who doesn't love kinder eggs! They always cheer me up (especially right now when I'm completely full of cold!)

and finally, my new hair straightners which are right at the top of my favourites list! After months of being straightner-less, and then a few attempts at cheaper brands (which were no match for my ridiculously thick hair!) I finally decided to spend some pennies on a new set of GHD's.

This is the limited edition pink patterned IV styler for breakthrough breast cancer. I love the detail on them, and they came with a lovely heat resistant mat and case which I think will be great for travelling! Unlike my older GHD's these have the new sleep function, where they turn themselves off after 30 minutes of not being used and they also seem to heat up much quicker :)

Hope you're having a great week!

July Favourites :)

Hi Ladies,

So we are a little way into August now - but better late than never here are my July Favourites! :-)

1. Superdrug tea tree and peppermint shampoo and conditioner - I use these once or twice a week inbetween using my normal shampoo and conditioner (currently tigi catwalk fashionista!). They are formulated for normal hair, and leave my hair feeling deep cleaned and refreshed - lovely! :)

2. Collection 2000 hot looks in BMX bandit and Models Own in feeling blue - I have really enjoyed wearing both of these colours on my toes, and they look fab with flip flops! BMX bandit is a darker more purply blue, and feeling blue is a lighter more vibrant blue. I was lucky enough to win feeling blue in a giveaway held by the super lovely Paula :)

3.Superdrug dry shampoo in away with the fairys - I know, I know! I've already raved about this (see my last post!) But I have been loving it so much that it had to make its way into my favourites. Smells lovely, not at all chalky and leaves my hair feeling fab.

4. Almay bare it all legs - This is very similar to Sally Hansens airbrush legs, which I have used before but thought I would give this a try as it was a little cheaper (£1.00 in the pound shop to be exact!). Its really easy to use, you just spray it onto your legs evenly, blend in then leave a minute or so to dry. I often use this when I'm in a hurry, or if I want to fake tan but have time - It gives a lovely natural colour and leaves my legs looking flawless :)

5. MAC Stereo Rose MSF - I am so glad I picked this up, I think I have used it pretty much every day since I bought it and am already becoming obsessed about running out! When applied with a light hand, It gives a lovely natural coral glow to the cheeks - so lovely for summer.

6. L'oreal volume million lashes mascara - For me, L'oreal make some of the best mascara's and the volume million lashes is no exception. This has a chunky plastic brush which is easy to use and gives great volumised lashes. I found this mascara a little wet to begin with and it worked much better after a week or so when it had dried out a little. I love the gold packaging too, definitely a new favourite!

7. MAC studio finish concealer - I still find this concealer a little dry, but in the summer heat its staying power is excellent. You only need a tiny amount to give really great coverage. It is also water resistant and contains spf 35 which made it one of my favourite products on my recent summer holiday :)

8. MAC paintpot in Indianwood - I have really been enjoying going for a bronze and gold smokey eye look this summer, especially on evenings and this paintpot provides the perfect base for this. It is a lovely rich bronze and not only keeps my eyeshadow in place all night but also looks fab on its own :)

and thats everything! Have you used any of these before? and let me know any of your favourites from the past month!

My top 4 summer MAC eyeshadows :)

Hi Ladies,

I thought I would share with you, the MAC eyeshadows which I have been reaching for the most this summer! Quite often during the summer I prefer to skip the eyeshadow in my makeup routine and just wear a bit of powder on my eye lids and a touch of liquid liner but since coming back from my holiday (with a touch of a tan!) I've really enjoyed wearing warm, neutral eyeshadows, golds and bronzes :) So on to my top 4!

They are, from top right clockwise, Patina (frost), All that glitters (veluxe pearl), Time and Space (frost) and Naked Lunch (frost).

These 4 eyeshadows are definitely from the same MAC family. Patina is a dusty ash brown, with a slighty golden sheen. It is a great shadow for adding a little extra definition to the outer, and looks lovely blended with pretty much any neural eyeshadow! Time and Space is from the neo sci fi collection, and although its not available anymore I have spotted items from the neo sci fi collection in CCO's before so you might be able to pick it up there! Like patina it is a frost, and although It is quite similar in tone, it is a slightly richer more copper brown. Naked Lunch is one of my all time favourite eyeshadows, It is a super pretty pearly pink which complements so many other colours. All that glitters is a rich, shimmering peachy pink. I find all that glitters a little hard to work with on my paler skintone in the colder months, but with a little bit of a tan during the summer it looks lovely!

My current favourite combo is naked lunch all over the lid, with all that glitters blended into the crease and outer corner. Such a lovely shimmery natural look! All that glitters is only a touch darker than naked lunch so blended into the crease it provides just a touch of extra defintion. Perfect for a daytime, neutral eye look. If you have these two shadows give it a go and let me know what you think! :)

What are your favourite MAC eyeshadows this summer?

Have a fabulous week!

My Holiday Essentials :)

Hi Ladies!

I'm back! I had a super lovely holiday, the hotel we stayed in was amazing - It was right on the seafront with its own stretch of beach, and a lovely pool and gardens. I feel completely chilled out and relaxed now, I didn't want to come home!

So I thought I'd show you the products/makeup which I used the most on holiday, as I thought it might be helpful for anyone who is about to go on their holidays (lucky you!). I tried to take literally the essentials (to keep the luggage weight down and to stop my boyfriend from freaking out - he wasn't pleased when he saw the 8 different nail polishes I decided to take with me after nearly forgetting all of my holiday money - whoops!).

My hair care routine is normally pretty extensive and although I did take a couple more products on holiday the two I was really pleased to have packed in my suitcase were Mark Hill's heat protection spray and Chi's Silk Infusion. I bought the mini chi silk infusion from ebay after hearing so many good things about it. I didn't want to splash out and buy the full size as it is a little pricy and I am pretty picky when it comes to haircare. I used this a few times before I went on holiday and wasn't overly impressed, but decided to take it on holiday and give it a proper try seen as it was perfect travel size and now I love it! It really made a difference to the texture of my hair which was pretty dry from the sun, sea and sand and daily washing! I applied a tiny bit to the ends of my hair before blow drying for super silky locks :) The Mark hill heat protection does exactly what it says on the tin - its not overly scented like some heat protectants I have previously used, and it works well on dry and wet hair :)

I used Blistex Intense Moisturiser morning and night, as my lips get really dry on holiday. This works perfectly I can still feel it on my lips in the morning and it has an added spf which is always a plus - Although I did use a sunblock for my lips during the day too :)

I didn't want to take a full bottle of eye makeup remover so I took these tesco sensitive skin eye makeup remover wipes and they worked a treat! gentle and effective - even on waterproof mascara!

During the day I was completely makeup free, and tried to keep it pretty simple on an evening too. I picked up MAC's Stereo Rose MSF the day before I went on holiday and I'm so glad I did, it looked perfect with a little bit of a tan, and gave me lovely glowing pinky coral cheeks. I also took a MSF natural + shimmer which I picked up at a CCO instead of my usual MSF natural, so that I could use the shimmer as a highlighter and avoid taking unnecessary extra makeup! As it happens the lovely glow from my shiney new stereo rose meant a highlight wasn't really necessary but I did use the MSF natural on my T zone to get rid of any shininess and to help keep my makeup in place :) Benefit Hoola is my holy grail bronzer, which got just as much use on holiday as it does at home! and my mascara of choice was Rimmels Lash Max in brown which my sister picked me up for my birthday (thanks Liv!). This is a comb mascara which I'm not usually too keen on, but its not clumpy at all and applies perfectly. Also as its a brown mascara, it helped keep my makeup a little more subtle and natural. I'm not usually a fan of number 7 products but their eye base is fantastic and kept my eyeshadow in place perfectly.

For eyeshadow, I mainly used my Stila Marrakesh palette. This is a great size for travelling and has for lovely warm colours in it. I particularly like the dusty pink in the top left corner, I don't normally wear pink eyeshadow but this one looks really natural and pretty as an all over lid colour. MAC's Corduroy and Naked Lunch are two of my all time favourites, Corduroy is the perfect matt brown and looks great in the outer corner blended with pretty much any eyeshadow! Smashboxes champagne is a new favourite, the perfect light gold - lovely as an all over lid colour, I also used it blended with Corduroy in the outer corner for a little extra definition.
and finally, a couple of hair accessories! I am obsessed with hair bows, and these black satin ones from H&M were perfect for clipping back my fringe in the heat. I picked up the plaited floral headband in primark for £1.00 and wore it most days to keep my hair off my face whilst swimming and lounging around on the beach :)

and thats everything! I hope this was helpful, I have quite a few OOTD's from my holidays coming up, I think I might pop them all together in one post so watch out for that coming soon. Let me know what your holiday essentials are and have a lovely holiday if you're going soon :)

Current Favourites :)

Hi Ladies! :)

I thought I would update you on some of my current favourites, I was going to call this my June favourites (I've never done monthly favourites before - How late am I on that bandwagon!) but realistically my favourite products don't change that dramatically from month to month (I'm a creature of habit) so current favourites it is! Right enough of me waffling - lets get started!

First up - Smashbox single eyeshadow in champagne

I adore this eyeshadow, and have been wearing it non stop for the past couple of months. It is a lovely light soft gold perfect for day and night. I've been wearing it all over the lid with a little eyeliner during the day (when I've woken up late!) and on a couple of night out blended with MAC's Knight divine and carbon for the perfect black and gold smokey eye - I love it! Smashbox eyeshadows are pretty pricey at £14.00 for a single eyeshadow - ouch! but I have been so impressed with this one that I am definitely going to try a couple more once I have some more pennies :)

Benefit Eye Bright

Yes, yes this was a glamour magazine freebie but this is actually my 3rd eye bright, one of few benefit products which I use on a regular basis. I use this on my inner corner, and it is an absolute life saver on bleary eyed mornings! The formulation of this is lovely and creamy but be careful if you take it on holiday or out on a sunny day it melts like crazy! I tend to pop mine in the fridge every now and again, which makes it even more lovely and cooling on my eyes in a morning! :)
Mac Hue Lipstick

Hue is such a lovely, easy to wear lipstick. I can highly recommend it to anyone who has never tried lipstick before (for many years I was strictly a gloss only girl!) its definitely a my lips but better colour - Really pretty and glossy and perfect for summer, this lives in my handbag at the moment!

and thats all for now! I am jetting off into the sunshine on holiday today for a week (eeek need to pack - why am I so last minute?!) so I apologise in advance for my upcoming lack of blogging, I will back next week with lots of lovely holiday related posts :)

See you in a week!

My Favourite Seris Part 6........Blush

Hello ladies,

So its time for part 6 of my favourite seris and the product under the spotlight today is blush! The Blusher which takes the top spot is actually a recent addition to my collection, it is so lovely that I have used it every day since I bought it and think I may actually shed a tear when it runs out! Its is MAC's mineralize blush in Rhapsody In Two from the Too fabulous collection.

Now this may shock you (or maybe not..its not really that shocking!) but I am not really that big on blush. (I feel like I've just confessed a big secret or something!). I love bronzer, but I find it really difficult to find shades of blush which suit my skin tone, and most of this time just bypass it and go straight to my trusty benefit hoola bronzer. However, like I said before Rhapsody in two has hot footed it straight into my every day makeup routine, and I'm not really sure how I lived without it now! It is very subtle and understated but gives a lovely glowing hint of colour to the cheeks. Its one of those products which I would put in the ''no make up make up'' category which is why I love it so much. When I use this my cheeks are a lovely shimmery peachy pink - I think its a perfect product for spring/summer. The only problem? Its limited edition! So I definately need to start using it sparingly! For me rhapsody in two is sort of a mid point between a blush and a highlight, so if you have a pretty pearly highlighter and a peachy pink blush you can probably create a similar effect :-)

and now the runners up! Only two this time I'm afraid, like I said I don't own too many blushes - So definately give me some recommendations in the comments!

• Elf Candid Coral - Great price, for pretty coral cheeks
• Estee Lauder Peach Nuance - Pricey but gorgeous - can you tell I like my peachy corals?!

Speak Soon,

Shimmering Bronze Night Out Eye Look :-)

Hi Ladies,

Its been so long since I last posted a makeup look (mainly because I've been so boring lately and hardly been out anywhere!). So I thought I'd take a few snaps of the eye makeup I wore out a few nights ago to share with you! I decided to go with a shimmering bronzed look, inspired by our recent sunshine :-)

I used liquid eyeliner to line my entire eye, to make the look a little more dramatic. This is not something I would normally do but I really liked the effect. I used MAC's Indianwood paintpot as a base, then applied BarryM's dazzle dust in number 44 across my lid with a fluffy brush, I've popped a couple of swatches below as I think these two products look absolutely fab together!

I also used the GOSH eyeliner pen, Rimmel lash max mascara and MAC carbon eyeshadow in the outer corner and slightly blended into crease.

I really enjoyed this look, and I think its one I'll definately be recreating over the summer!

Have a lovely weekend :-)

A little tiny MAC haul :-)

Hi Ladies,

I just thought I'd share with you a couple of things I purchased from MAC last week, Hue lipstick and Teddy eye kohl.

Hue is a glaze lipstick, and intially I was a little disappointed that it didn't have the intense colour payoff that my other MAC lippies have (its my first glaze!). However now I can't stop wearing it! its a really pretty pink nude, very easy to wear and the sort of lipstick you can pull out of your handbag and put on without looking in the mirror! The is definately going to be the lipstick I reach for throughout the summer, especially now that my 3rd creme d'nude has met the same fate as its predecessors and gone all squidgy and melted!

The teddy eye kohl is a lovely deep brown with a hint of gold, I bought this as an alternative to my HG eyeliner (powerpoint liner in engraved) for day to day wear and I am so please I went for this one as it is perfect! I've actually never had a MAC eye kohl before as I always go for the powerpoint eyeliners and I am really impressed with how softly this glides on. Its lovely and I will definately be repurchasing this when it runs out! I've added a quick swatch below :-)
Thats all for now, Hope you're all having a fab week!
