My October favourites

• Elf Matte lip colour in coral. Beautiful colour, and lasts really well on lips.


• Wet'n'wild single eyeshadows in nutty & brulee, and trio. Smooth, incredibly pigmented and easy to blend, perfect for subtle everday looks-love them!


• Dermalogica lip complex. Since getting this in my glossybox i've used it everynight. It's so thick and moisturising.


• Harajuku Lovers 'Jingle G'. My favourite kind of scent- warm, Wintery, and rich with Vanilla.


• Boots 17 wild metallic eyes in midnight blue. Slightly moussy, and nicely pigmented this works well for a base foreyeshadow.


• Clinique lash power mascara. With such a tiny brush i was stunned at how thick this made my lashes.


• NYX round lipstick in Indian Pink. A great everyday colour that i can just chuck in my bag.


• Boots 17 magnetized nail polish in lilac. The cheaped version of the magnetic polishes around, a lovely colour, and gives an amazing almost velvet like textured effect.


• The Balm frat boy blush. A nice nude/peachy colour thats great for my pale skin tone. A little goes a very long way.

My September Favourites...

Here are the things i've loved this month....

• (l-r) Avon cherry blossom daily hair refresher. Smells beautiful, and fresh on tired hair, way better than Batiste and the like.


• Maybelline dream creamy foundation. Easy to apply, and looks and feels light and natural.


• Bourjois intense eyeshadow shade 3. Subtle daytime eyeshadow with sparkle, and strong pigmentation.


• Estee Lauder Michael Kors Very Hollywood lipgloss. Soft pink colour, and not too sticky.


• NYC Natural Matte foundation. See my review a few posts ago.


• H&M Nail polish in Come Rain. Pewter with sparkle, perfect September colour!


• Boots 17 Nail polish in Fury. The most beautiful bronze i've seen, literally like liquid metal.


• NYC Chroma Face Glow in Sunstone. Compliments my freckles and red hair perfectly. Like a Mac MSF at about a 1/20 of the price :)


• Scandalous Rock Chick Wave Spray. If you have curly hair you have to try this. Gives my hair great volume, and defined curls.

New Things...

Here are some new things...

I picked up these gel eyeliners from the Topshop make up range in the sale- it cost £5 for all 3- which is a lot more reasonable than the usual prices which are stupidly high.

In Boots Collection 2000 make up was 2 for £5. I got the supersize fat lash mascara (which so far is disappointing), and an extreme felt tip eyeliner in purple (which is really good!). I also bought the new 17 mascara falsifeye which for a drugstore mascara is quite impressive. It also came with a pot of black gel liner.

My love for NYX make up continues and i got another 2 cream blushers in tea rose, and orange. I also got an eyeshadow base in skintone, and an Avon lipstick.

Of course some Hello Kitty!

And some cute shoes from primark. And H&M and Primark earrings.

And lastly, this! How cute is it. It's a plushie milk carton that i got very cheap from ebay...i couldn't resist!

(^_^)

Some cute shoes from H&M, lovely leopard print Mango scarf, and bag from George.

More H&M goodies, incuding a a supercute apple ring.

Some earrings from New Look, and some headbands from Dorothy Perkins (bargains in the sale!)

Some cute tops in the H&M sale.

My favourite ever lipbalm Lypsyl has been revamped. As well as that from Superdrug i got the Sleekpout Polish from the Caribbean Collection, and an MUA Pro eyeshadow palette in heaven & earth.

Gosh had loads of reduced items so i snapped up 2 lipsticks in sunset, and exotic. A mascara & an eyeshadow primer.

A Little Review of 17 Photo Flawless Primer...

I have always been hit and miss with primers, but i'm always interested in giving them a go. This one is from Boots priced at £4.99.

The primer is silicone based, so glides on the skin effortlessly and leaves a silky soft finish- which is neither greasy or unatural feeling like i find with the elf one. I do feel and see a noticeable improvment in the finish of my foundation with this underneath. The foundation seems to sit better, and look more natural.

I also like using this product alone on my skin without foundation. Although it gives a matte finish i do like to use powder also. I must say of all the primers i've tried this is certainly a favourite (although nowhere near RMK which is amazing!)

The only real moan is that there is only 15ml of product in the small tube, which i can't see lasting long. Although only a small amount is needed each time.

Very impressed. 4/5

The result of a shopping addiction...

Heres a collection of new things i've bought over the past few weeks...

Mac Quite Cute lipstick and a free Haute Couture mascara

From Tesco All About Face foundation (worth a try for £1.49!) and Barbara Daly Lip Smoother

Rimmel volume flash mascara, Boots 17 photo flawless primer, and Collection 2000 concealer (Boots have 3 for 2 on all make up at the moment...thats my excuse)

Decided i wanted to try some cheap powders so got- Tesco all about face, Natural Collection in cool toned, Collection 2000 mosaic glow, and Rimmel clear complexion

From lovemakeup.com got OCC lip palatte with 5 wells (£3.99), NYX lip lacquer in coral-licious, and a Sigma brush to try E05 fine eyeliner brush although theres nothing fine about it!

Whilst in London i found a treasure chest of an accessories shop called Brigitte Bjiou and got all this.

And finally a flamingo brooch from Primark, and some bits from Peacocks including a momji look alike lipgloss.

(^_^)

More new things...

A few more new bits i've got lately. Some accessories from ASOS, including a leather cuff from the mens section (the mens jewellery is way better), and a pretty Oasis rose headband.

From Primark.

A headband from Boots interesting (but stupidly overpriced) new jewellery collection, and the 17 crackle topcoat.

George at Asda have revamped their makeup so i bought a couple if things out of curiousity- a tinted moisturiser- Hint of Tint (£4), and cheek stain- Cheeky Tint! (£2.50)

In Superdrugs i stocked up on more lip products (as if i need any more...) the New Sleek Pout Polish Sugar May, Revlon's new Just Bitten in Gothic, Gosh's new lip marker in berry, and a Gosh lipstick in shocking coral.

After being stupidly impressed with the previous 2 i bought i got some more MUA eyeshadows (£1 each)

And lastly i bought the Kawaii edition from the Japanese Street Style collection from Harajuku Lovers perfume. It's very adorable.

(^-^)

New Things...

Here are some new things...

I picked up the new Molten Metal compact from Sleek. I wasn't going to bother with this until i swatched it- it's lovely. I'm looking forward to testing this against my Illamasqua liquid metal. Gosh was also having a sale, so i got a liner and 2 effects powders for £2.49 each.

In Boots 17 make up is on 3 for 2. They have some new mascara's i was interested in trying- Wild Curls, and Photo Flawless which has a 'twist of pearlescent colour to brighten eyes' mine is in black copper. I also got an eyeshadow trio.I cannot recommend their eyeshadows enough. Particularly for the price.

Also in Boots, there was an offer on Models Own- 3 for £10. I got 2 nail polishes in Jade Stone, and Golden Peach, and a lipstick in Coral which is amazingly bright. I also got a Maybelline nail polish in Flash Cosmic which is a pearly white with blue sparkles in.

During the January sale i had a discount code for 25% of at Cherry Culture so decided to take advantage, and get some NYX products. I got a lip lacquer pot in simply red (which is actually a deep dark red that i love), and a concealer in a jar in porcelene.

Also at Cherry Culture i bought 3 NYX cream blushes which were reduced to $6 each (bargain!). I am in love with these, they work prefect on both cheeks and lips.

An lastly, a whole pile of cheap and cheerful (and very lovely) accessories from Primark :)

New Things...

On Tuesday as i had the day of work i decided i would be the most organised i've ever been and get all my Christmas presents so i could sit back while everyone else is rushing about in December. Of course i didn't realise it was half term and that everywhere would be madly busy...

Despite that i'm pleased to say the bulk of my Christmas shopping is done. Along the way i made a few selfish purchases as well...

I popped into Superdrug to get one of the new Sleek palettes called Good Girl. This one is a limited edition and ignoring the awfully tacky box is a lovely array of pinks and reds. A colour i lack in my eyeshadow collection. The other palette called Bad Girl is a perminant edition, but to me seemed very similar to the previously released Graphite palette so i gave it a miss.

In M&S i couldn't resist this cute Hello Kitty coin purse that came with a little lipgloss and a box of mini nail polishes that are 4 lovely velvety glitter colours.

Also in superdrug i got Sleeks new pout polish in Powder Pink and also noticed a new stand for Famous by Sue Moxley. A brand i've never used before i picked up a lovely eyeshadow trio called rainforest for £5.

A Maybelline eyeshadow. I'm not a fan of this brand but i'm a sucker for midnight blues, and this colour is beautiful.

In Boots 17 had a 3 for 2 offer so i picked up an eyeshadow trio, an eyeshadow in a new colour Emerald Gold and a glitter liner in a soft purple.

With a no.7 voucher i had i bought the new mascara they have out -Exceptional Definition. The main reason i got this was for the free palette that comes with it. The 4 colours look and feel like suede.

Last week i made an Avon order and got 2 nail polishes. The picture doesn't do them any justice at all but they are both very festive and glittery. I also got 2 lipsticks a cherry red and a rose gold. Below.

And finally i got Sensuous Noir from Estee Lauder.
