Latest MAC Haul!

Hello everyone! How are you all?

This weather is just great at the moment & I hope all of you are enjoying it too. I'm going on holiday on the 2nd for around 17 days,so there might be some more breaks in my blogging again, sorry guys and gals!

Anyways, for today's post there is yet another MAC haul. Joys of having an outlet near me which happens to sell MAC means that I'm always popping in there. I also work in Marks & Spencer and the store I work in happens to be in the outlet too and sometimes other stores give you an extra 10% discount if you work in the centre and it just so happens that I cant get the extra 10% off in the make-up shop, yayay!

In this haul, I bought the three lipsticks and the eye shadow from the outlet but the eye shadow pallet I purchased online as there was a weekend where there was free delivery.

The haul!

Lovelorn.

So the first lipstick I picked up was in the Lustre finish and it's called Lovelorn. The picture doesn't do it much justice, as it is the most beautiful baby pink colour. It's a great lipstick to use on an everyday basis and I often use this for work now as it is not too bold. It feels really silky on the lips and it also lasts for ages!

So chaud

Next, I picked up the colour So Chaud in the Matte finish. This is a very vibrant orange toned red. I would say that it is very pigmented and it has a lovely creamy texture and doesn't dry out your lips at all!

Heavenly Hybrid.

The final lipstick I purchased is also in the Lustre finish and it's called Heavenly Hybrid. It's such a lovely deep purple but as it has the lustre finish it means that it is not too heavy on the lips which means that you can get away wearing this lipstick all year round.

Above picture shows swatches of the three lipsticks. 

From top to bottom.. Heavenly Hybrid, Lovelorn & So Chaud.

I also purchased an eye shadow to start off my pallet. This is the most beautiful golden shade I have ever seen. It's called Retrospeck (swatch in the picture above). It shimmers at the all the right times and in most lights. A little bit of the product goes a long way!

Rimmel Haul!

Hello lovelies! How are you all? 

It's that time of the week again, yes it's Friday!I'm going to be powering on through my coursework this weekend, I am so determined to get it all done now so I can enjoy the half term, start revising properly and not have to worry!

Anyway, I also found out on Monday that I was successful at my interview for a job at Marks and Spencer's so I am over the moon with happiness so I thought I would treat myself to some new make-up.

In Boots at the moment there is three for two on and of course I had to take advantage of that!

I have always been a fan of the brand Rimmel as I find their make-up to be really good value as well as being good quality.

After hearing lots about the Stay Matte primer (you can find it online here) and the Stay Matte foundation (online here), I decided to give these a try for myself.

As you all know I am a big fan of Maybelline's Baby Skin but this time I thought I would try something else.Rimmel's Stay Matte primer is only £5.99 which is cheaper than Baby Skin and I think you also get more primer for your money with Rimmel's primer. However, I am not too sure about the texture of the foundation at the moment, but I will do a separate review on this!

The Stay Matte foundation costs £5.99 as well which is really good value and I cannot wait to try it out!  

The next thing I chose was two nail polishes from the 60 seconds Rita Ora range. I chose the colour Lose Your Lingerie (the light pink one) and the Do Not Disturb one. You can find them on the Boots website here. They cost £3.69 each. I thought these two colours are going to be great for spring and I really cannot wait to use them! I also want to go back and buy more from the range as there are so many good colours to choose from!

 The final thing in my Rimmel haul is the Match Perfection Silky Loose Powder. My mum actually picked this up for my from Asda as I was running low on powder and she was popping into the shop anyway. I normally use the Stay Matte Pressed Powder but there wasn't any in Asda at the time so I'm now going to try this one. I'm not too sure about using a loose powder to be honest, but again, I'll let you all know how I get on with it.

This was £6.99 from Asda but you can also purchase this from Boots too.

Overall, I'm really happy with the products I've purchased and I'm soo excited to try them all out.

Kelly Brook's Swimwear In New Look!

I know it may be a tad early for this post but I'm going on holiday in August so I have slowly started to pick up pieces that I will be taking with me. Also the people in New Look gave me a £5 off voucher so to me it seemed like the best time to purchase this years swimsuit. 

The one I chose is one from the Kelly Brook range they have in New Look. It's called KB Polka Dot Frills S.

I think that it is such a beautiful swimsuit. It is a navy blue and white colour and it has lovely frills towards the bottom. It also has cute white flowers with blue dots on the shoulder straps.

This is now my second swimsuit from the Kelly Brook range and I would honestly buy them all if I could. I think they are so much better quality than the typical New Look ones and as it is a Kelly Brook design it does cater for girls with bigger breasts too.

I decided to get a proper swimming costume this year as I had my appendix out in February and I'm not comfortable with the scars from the operation so this costume if perfect for covering it up. Also if I don't get too much sun on the scars they will heal quicker which is what I want.

This swimsuit costs £24.99 and because it is good quality I think it does almost justify the price.
I also purchased this hair band which I thought was very cute as it matches the swimsuit.

                                                            

Over all I really love this range as I feel that there are many great designs and I think that it caters for mostly everyone. Not only does Kelly Brook do the swimsuit line but she also has a line of underwear in New Look too!

Mini Mac Haul!

Hello my lovelies! How are you all? 

I've been so busy recently, it was my bothers birthday on Tuesday! Bless him, he's 10 now, growing up so fast.I also moved house last week and haven't been able to set the internet up yet so at the moment I am taking the pictures at home and then blogging from college!

A couple of weeks ago I went into my local outlet centre and obviously I had to go and look at the MAC section. I saw this little package with a travel size cleanser oil and finishing spray in it. As it didn't have a price on it, I went up to the counter and asked the lady. I could not believe it when she said it was only £10! So of course I had to get it! 

I was also in need of a new mascara and I found a little beauty called Black Dazzle. Normally this would have cost £14 but as I was in an outlet it only cost £9!

So far I have tried out the mascara and the finishing spray and I have fallen in love with them. I am already such as big fan of MAC products anyway so I wasn't surprised when I loved these products too!

Mini College Haul!

Hello my lovelies!

I was just in WHSmith's the other day and I picked up a few bits for college and thought I'd share them with you all!

The first thing I picked up is the 8 pack of Stabilo Boss Origional highlighters. I was running out and I spotted these beauties. Also exam season will soon be approaching us and theses are sure to make my exam papers stand out! I'm in love with all the colours and don't they look so pretty?! The cost only £3.99 which I thought was a very good price, I can't wait to use them!

The next thing I picked up was note pads. You can never have too many of them. Now WHSmith's had an offer on their note pads, it was three note pads for £4.99. These note pads have 200 pages in each one.

I also picked up a small hello kitty note pad to write down all my homework assignments and coursework I have to do, otherwise I'll end up forgetting! I'm currently going through a phase where I really like hello kitty and this cute little note pad will be used a lot. This cost £1.65.

Carrying on with my hello kitty phase, I also picked up a hello kitty pen. It comes with the cutest little charm on it and I also thought that the grip was very good as well which is a plus from me. The pen cost £1.20.
