Kaushal made me do it!

SHOPPING
October 27 2010

(Sleek Makeup Haul.) I popped into Superdrug yesterday with the intention of picking up Majestic, a True Colour Lipstick by Sleek, after spotting it on Kaushal’s Blog! I instantly fell in love with the colour and thought, why not!  I was nearly thrown off when I didn’t find any more on the shelves…So I kindly asked a shop assistant to have a look for it for me. She opened up the storage drawer and I was soo happy when she handed me the last one they had in stock! In the drawer, two items I’d never seen before stared up… Read More »

The M·A·C Venomous Villains Collection…Swatches.

BEAUTY, SHOPPING
October 12 2010

Sinister  Sinister is a lustre lipstick from the Evil Queen Collection. It applies on quite sheer and I think it’s better used with a lip liner and a gloss on top, rather than on it’s own, however it is a lovely shade and seeing as plum lips are trending, it’ll be great for some of us that don’t want to go all out with a deeper plum! Zoom Fast Black Lash I LOVE this Mascara! Here I applied two coats.Easy application, doesn’t clump, and makes my lashes look a bit more volumised. I also really like the formula, it’s not… Read More »

(Mini MAC Haul.)  There are a few things that have been sitting pretty on my wishlist for a while now, and I used the opportunity while picking up the shadows I had hit the pan on (Carbon & Amber Lights), to finally purchase some of them. I made the observation when photographing my purchases that I bought mostly Black things, hence the title of the post, Lol… I’m such a geek! I picked up Blacktrack (Fluidline), Smolder (Eye Kohl), the brushes 266 and 214, oh and a 4 pan pro pallette to keep in my makeup bag! Just thought I’d… Read More »

Freedom at Topshop.

SHOPPING
September 8 2010

In the little mall close to where I live, there houses a small Topshop Outlet where pieces from past seasons are sold at generous prices. I was so delighted when I discovered these beauties, that were only £2 each. How amazing! I’m getting into rings a lot more these days (thanks to the incredible photos I source from Tumblr.). The lovely peach broche, I could attach to my blazer, or slide in my hair, and as for the earrings, they are just too cute.  I simply had to buy them! ..xo *PS: If you have a Tumblr account, I’d love… Read More »

What better way to treat myself after a gruelling Two hours and Ten minutes of Pure Mathematics eh? I had my Algebra Exam today …One word. Dreadful. It was pretty tough, and I found it a lot more challenging than the other exams that i’ve had so far!  I’m just hoping that I did okay, but I know I’m going to have to work my butt off to do very well in the exams I have left…just to balance things! Anyhoozles, to cheer myself up, I went into town for some frappuccino and a spot of retail therapy! I initially just wanted… Read More »

TOPSHOP Makeup and H&M Haul.

SHOPPING
May 6 2010

After the Sleek Event, Sammi, Hannah and I headed to Oxford Street for a bit of shopping!  We went into Topshop to have a little nosey around the New Makeup!  I bought a Blush in Neon Rose (£6.00) along with the Sun Star Eyeshadow Trio (£8.00), both from the SS ’10 Collection. Neon Rose is a really pink creamy blush. It’s smooth to apply and the intensity can be built up, depending on what you’re going for. I’ve been into a lot of cream based products lately, including shadows. They are really easy to work with! I love this Trio.… Read More »
