MAC BLUSH - AT DUSK!

As you all must know by now, I have a serious obsession with Mac products.I have been on the hunt for a decent blush for quite a long time now and I was having a little browse in my local Mac outlet the other day when I spotted this. It's Mac's extra dimension blush in the colour At Dusk.

I think it is the most gorgeous, pigmented colour ever and it's also perfect for spring!It adds that subtle pink to my cheeks and as I have pretty fair skin it works so well for me.

What's a bonus is that I only paid £13.50 for it! For that price I couldn't complain. It's everything I could ever ask for in a blush. I would honestly repurchase this blusher because I love it that much.

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.

MUA'S COLOUR BURST EYESHADOW TINT!

I had wanted to try an eye shadow crayon for quite a while as it seemed like an easy way to apply to your eyelids. However I didn't want to spend out on one if I then turned around and didn't like it. When I purchased my Pretty Edgy pallet from Superdrug (see review here.) they were offering a free MUA Colour Burst Eye Shadow Tint, which would normally cost £3. I wouldn't have minded paying that price either to be honest but it was a bonus that it came free with the pallet.

I decided to keep it neutral so I chose the colour Unfaithful. This shade is a very light brown, it almost looks golden. I love the texture of the crayon as it glides onto my skin very nicely and it is also very pigmented. 

I think it is a great alternative if you do not want to spend a lot on a product like this.

Overall, I would like to try other shades as I feel that the product really worked well for me and for only three pounds I can't complain!

NEW LOOK BARGAIN BUY!

I was in on my way home from a job interview on Tuesday when I noticed that New Look had up to 60% off their clothes. I just went in with no intention of buying anything when this little beauty caught my eye.

What was even better was that it was reduced from £17.99 to only £10.00!

I just couldn't resist it!

What attracted me to it was the partly the style of the sleeves. They are quite large and I like the baggy look to it, it makes it smart - casual.

I also love the lace detail too. I had been after a lace style top for so long and hadn't been able to find one I really liked until now.

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!

What's In My Every Day Bag!

As you can tell by the title, this post is going to be what's in my bag! To be honest, I love these posts! I find them ever so interesting and I also admit that I to like be nosey, haha.

The bag I use is just a brown long strapped bag from Primark/Penny's. I like this bag because it's big enough to carry all my little bits an bobs but then it is small enough to just grab an go. I also like how I can put it across my shoulders and to me it increases security of my belongings.

I also carry around with me my glasses. I mainly need my glasses for reading and seeing long distance too so for me they are a necessity.

Of course my phone is always with my too. As my mum says it is practically glued to me. My phone is just a small Samsung Ace. As you can see it is white but on the back there is a grey floral pattern which makes it a bit more girly.

Excuse my iPod's smashed screen. It happened when it was in my coat pocket and I went to get off the bus, as my coat wasn't zipped up when I walked my coat swung as I was walking an hit a pole on the bus. :( However, it still works very well and I always have it with me as my journey to college is around one hour on the bus.

I then have my Cath Kidston bus pass holder which I purchased for only three pounds at an outlet store. I always have my bus pass, student card and any other cards when I cannot be bothered to carry around my big purse.

My purse is from New Look and of course there are cards and change etc in it.

There is always a lip balm and hand sanitiser in my bag. This is another necessity for me as I cannot stand the thought of all those germs from the bus on my hands and it all just spreading, ewww. I shiver just thinking about it! Lip balms tend to vary depending on what I fancy that day. The one in the picture is my Eos one (review here.) 

I then also have my keys and my headphones.

I don't normally carry much make-up with me. I might carry some lipstick or powder with me but not very often.

Sometimes I may carry wet wipes or tissues etc during winter for example.

What do you carry around with you?
