Mini Mac Haul! - Lipstick's

Hello there everyone! The other day I took my first trip to the M.A.C counter knowing that I would buy something! Of course I couldn't afford a lot, but as they are know for their lipsticks, I picked a couple up. A glaze and a lustre. I thought these were the best options for me and I did try a lot out. I haven't heard much about the two that I choose, maybe that drew me to them more. I was going to buy 'Creme Cup' because I've heard a lot about that, but I stopped myself and choose the ones I was drawn to and which looked good with my skin tone.

I have tried both of these lipstick's and I have to say I was impressed with the formula and how easy they were to apply. The packaging is stunning and modern with the bullet shaped case. I found that I love both of them as much as each other and this has made me want to buy more in the future. I am also trying to persuade my mum to buy herself one, as she deserves a little treat now and then!

So this is the first one that I bought. Intentionally I was looking for one I could wear on a daily basis without it being too obvious that I had a lipstick on. Therefore I had to go for a glaze! This one is called 'Pervette' it is a pink colour with purple undertones as well as a shimmer on the lips. When I applied this I instantly fell in love with the product. It looked great with my skin and also blended on the lips easily. Therefore I am very pleased with this purchase.

 This is the second colour I picked up. I couldn't leave M.A.C without buying a daring colour, so instead of a red, I went for a deep dark pink, and I was so pleased that I did. I feel that this colour suits me more than a red would, even though I do like myself a good red colour on the lips. But I find this would be great on a day out somewhere, as it's not over-the-top but just a perfect colour for me.

These were the only things I purchased as these two alone went to £27 so I thought that it was enough for me to spend today. I do however in the future want to treat myself to a mac palette and fill it with neutral eye shadows so maybe you will see my buying some more from this range. I find it expensive but worth it as when applied on the lips you can tell it's not a rubbish quality product. I am very happy with what I bought and I do suggest you try some of the products from M.A.C if you are interested in make-up. That's all for now, have a good day everyone!!

Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter Review!

Time for another post! I haven't posted in a while but I need to now. The weather has not been so great so this puts me off wanting to take pictures, as the sun gives great light. When I got home from work today it was still light outside so I tried to get some quick snaps of these lip butters to show you all!

These are the new Revlon Lip Butters, or at least they are new in the UK, so get your hands on some because they are stunning. I got myself four of the shades, not all at once, I bought a couple and the consistency of them was so good, I decided to try and get a range of colours. In the U.K these retail for £8.99, however boots currently have an offer of £5.99, and superdrug have them on 3 for 2! (at £8.99)

I bought myself four shades from left to right, 055 Cupcake, 025 Peach Parfait, 015 Tutti Frutti, 005 Sugar Frosting. I would say the collection ranges to as strong as a lipstick, to a tinted lip balm as well as between the two. The shade 'Lollipop' has more of a lipstick coverage. However the shade Sugar Frosting is a clear pink shimmery shade.

 Here we have the shade '055 Cupcake' this is a pink shade which doesn't have as much coverage as a matte pink lipstick would have, however it it slightly glossy and gives the lips a lovely hint of pink. It has a very light pink shine once applied to the lips.

 This colour is called '025 Peach Parfait' this is a very natural looking colour for the lips, it gives them a slight sparkle of gold shimmer and light coverage. It''s the perfect shade for a everyday look as its very natural and will look good on my types of skin tones.

 This is '005 Sugar Frosting' and it currently my go-to product for my lips, this has a very light coverage but feels great on the lips and looks great also. It has a hint of pink and shimmer. It's more like a tinted lip balm with a tad bit of shimmer in there. I like this as it works well with my light skin tone as well as giving a very natural look.

 The last shade I have is called  '015 Tutti Frutti'  this has a decent amount of coverage and is something for those of you who are more daring. This is an orange colour with red undertones. As when I apply this is looks more of a Orangey Red, rather than a pure orange lipstick. This is my least favourite of mine as I find it doesn't suit my skin colour, but I know orange will suit other people and therefore if it does I would definitely go for this product as the texture it stunning.

Overall I would say these products are great and I can see myself purchasing them again in the future or maybe reaching out for some more colours. They have a great formula and easy application, feel great on the lips, and can create a great natural look. I would suggest you treat yourself to a colour you would like the most. That's all for now, have a great day everyone!

No7 Skin Illuminator Pink - Review

Two posts in one day today, because I wanted to do at least one review from the products that I have bought, so first off we have  No7 - Skin Illuminator. The only reason I bought this was beacause I had a £5 off voucher for the collection, which if you go to boots and spend over £5 you will get and will be able to treat yourself. The product alone is around £11 therefore I got this for £6 a much more reasonable price for this product.

So to start this is in the colour 'Pink' as that suits my skin more, however you can also get this product in 'Peach' so there is another option for those who want a more natural colour. My first impressions of this product were that is brightens up my face and gives me a shimmer to my cheeks or wherever I apply it. I was a but concerned as I didn't want it to make my skin look greasy, however I think it gives a great finish. I don't have much to compare this product to as I haven't tried similar products to this other than a powder highlighter which are also great!

This is how the product is applied, some may not like to have a brush, as this can gather to product as well as bacteria, but you can just pull the brush off and use the container as something to squeeze, or use a brush that you prefer. The product blends well and it not too obvious that you have this on, I normally apply this over my blush to give it a more shimmed look, however if you blush is already shimmery you may not need to apply this as well.

As you can see this is what it looks like applied to my arm, I have not blended this in, but you can see this parts that look slightly blended, my arms are a darker colour than my face so on my face it is not as clear as this and just lifts and highlight's the parts that I was the most. I mostly apply on my cheeks but you can add some to your T-zone if you think that would look nice, or suit you more.

Overall I like this product, although I would not pay £11 for it as it doesn't do a magical job for that price, in my opinion. £6 was a good price for me to pay as I feel that this is a better deal. So if you get a voucher, treat yourself and try this product out for yourself!

let the sunshine

Today the sun came out, and it did yesterday and the day before, in England this is amazing, so I decided to have a sit outside for a while, whilst I was outside I took a few pictures, this weather is truly beautiful, it lifts your mood and makes you feel so much better about everything. The only downside is when we get all hot, flustered and sweaty, but that happens right!

So I took a picture of the sky to show you the beautiful blue and the sun peaking through, such a beautiful sight compared to a dark dull sky right. It's amazing when you see the sky like this.

I had the day of school as well which was the plus as I am on study leave and only have to go for the lessons that I have exams in, which I only have one exam left, later though I will need to make sure I revise to get a good grade on the last one which is Psychology.

 Look at the sky, what a pretty sight, makes me smile and feel so much better, oh I do love the sun.

 I love the when you have glitter on your hands the sun makes it sparkle and shine, therefore I had to try and capture it's beauty.

The rest was just some random pictures that I thought I would share with you, I just bought my Vaseline rosy lips, which is so nice, I prefer Vaseline to lipgloss because it makes your lips feel a lot better. I still have a few products that I want to do a review on but I haven't got round to taking the pictures and putting the post together, but they will be here. Plus we need more food posts don't we, as it's very yummy. Unfortunately I deleted some of the pictures by accident.

Anyway I hope you are having a great day, a great week and to have a great weekend, speak to everyone soon, I am also planning on starting some videos or something. That is it for now, enjoy everything, bye!

Accessorize me.

Helllo everyone, today I went shopping a bought a lot of things, well maybe not for some people who buy a lot when they shop but for me it was a lot, normally when I go shopping I only buy one or two small things. I find this better as then you only buy things you really want and you don't spend as much money. But the reason I got a lot is because there was a lot of things that I needed.

To start I'm going to spilt up the posts rather than posting everything together as that would be too much of a  long time, and I also wanted to swatch the beauty products that I bought. So I need to get round to that one day. For now I am showing you what I bought from Accessorize, which is a beautiful shop, it must be near the top five of my all time favourites. Saying that though I only have a few things from there because I find it to be expensive.

So here is the packaging which they wrapped the products up in, I was super happy with this as its so nice to see things nicely presented to you when you have bought something and also great to take a picture of and post here.

These are the two scarves that I bought whilst I was there, one was £16 and the other was £18, which is a lot for a scarf I know but I fell in love with them. They are also amazing material and to me it was worth it, I have been wanting a new casual scarf for a long time and here we have them. I got the light one with the leopard pastel colours because I felt a nice bright one to lighten my day was nice. But for simple darker outfits I needed a different one, therefore I went for the black and white tie die which I love just as much.

The next thing I bought from this shop was some new sunglasses, they are perfect to me, I would of course love to buy some actual RayBans but unfortunately I don't have £80+ to spend on one pair of sunglasses therefore I went for the cheaper versions for £10, and they have really cool pink neon sides to them, which is perfect for summer time and also is a colour I find that suits me.

There we have it, some extra pictures on the end for you to have a different look at things, they are my favourite items from what I bought on my shopping trip today, I am really happy that I bought them, even though I used a lot of my money on them, but I find that they will last me a long time, and I will wear them often. When I get paid I am hoping to buy another O.P.I nail polish, another pair of skinny jeans and perhaps another jacket (brothers discount at river island is a plus, also my discount at next) it's great to work in places and get discount. I also still owe my step dad some money for the camera that I bought off him, which is fine, I will give it him. I also want to have my hair done soon maybe end of August, beginning of September when I have the money, I have an idea in my head, I will show you some pictures once I have had it done. Next posts I am planning on showing you the rest of the things that I bought, see you all soon and have a great night!
