Call Me Maybe

Check me out I'm on a roll! I recently placed an order on the MUA website when they were giving away free Immaculate palettes with every order (obviously I couldn't resist!). They are running special offers everyday this week (I think) to celebrate their 2nd birthday so if your interested you should check out their Facebook page. I think todays offer is a free pastel palette.

My computer screen has decided to turn yellow so its been so hard to pick out what shades to order. In the end I ordered the shades that looked like they would be the most wearable without the yellow tinge!

Lip Boom in OMG - £3


Lipstick in Juicy - £1 Love Heart Lip Baalm in Sugar Lips - £2



Immaculate Palette - £8 (FREE!)


I also ordered from the Boots website. I bought 4 Front Cover eyeshadows that were reduced to £1 each and when you bought 4 you got the palette for free.


L - R Twinkling Gold - Pale Gold - Bougainvillea - Twinkling Grape

So as usual I have been bargain hunting and I have yet another Primark haul too! I really have to stop shopping there! I hope you enjoyed this post.

February Favourites!

Wow I can't believe it's March already! I had planned to do a few posts in February but it just flew by so fast I hadn't even realised. My sister is already 6 months pregnant which just seems so unreal. I thought I better at least do a February Favourites in homage to the month.

TresEmme Split Remedy Shampoo and Conditioner:



I bought these after payday, before my money completely disappeared (I thought they said that January was the hardest payday?) and I really like them. They smell like Marc Jacobs Daisy perfume on my hair and just leave my hair super smooth, cant say much for the split ends though ah well.

Benefit Ladys Choice Lipstick:



I absolutely love this lipstick. Its so smooth and its the perfect pinky browny nude colour, perfect for everyday wear. The colour hasn't really come out well on my terrible pictures. I really need to get myself a new camera instead of using my crappy phone but sadly funds won't allow :(

Prestige Skin Loving Minerals "Blush" in Natural:

Okay so this turned out to be less blush more highlight shade but it is the perfect highlight shade. It is so beautiful to highlight cheekbones with. I bought this on clearance at my local Boots so I'm soo upset that I won't be able to repurchase it :(

Jelly Pong Pong Cheek Puff:



I have had this for around 2 years but have never made use of it as I was so afraid to use it. Now that I have kind of got the hang of all this make up malarkey I have managed to crack it open. I apply this lightly with my Elf angled blush/bronzing brush and voila perfect!

Technic High Lights:

This is a new purchase, I have been lusting over Benefit High Beam for years but I could never justify that amount of money on something I wouldn't use that often. So I picked up this after I saw Jade feature it on her blog. Its safe to say I'm extremely happy I bought this, so I can definitely recommend you pick this up if you also don't want to splash out on Benefit.
Finally my last favourite is my MUA Mosaic Blusher in English Rose:

Since having my skin matched at my local Boots No7 counter and finding out that I was in a much lighter foundation shade then I thought (Natural Beige to New Ivory!), I have loved using all of the lighter colours I haven't been able to get away with before. So this has been a staple in my make up bag now that it actually shows up on me. I can definitely recommend this for all of the paler girls out there.

Thanks for reading :) xxx

January Favourites

Hi this is going to be my first favourites post. I don't know whether its going to be a regular thing yet but I've been wanting to do one for a while so onto the favourites.

1. Elf Make up Mist and Set:

This makes such a big difference to my foundation that I just couldn't live without now. I have really oily skin and the mist and set means I don't have to worry about topping up with powder throughout the day.

2. Impulse Very Pink body spray

I've been using this pretty much daily, I really like the scent and how it lasts all day.


3. MUA Blushers


I have shade 2 and shade 5 and I pretty much wear them daily. They quickly became my favourite blushes. They have great pigmentation for a £1 product so I'd recommend picking them up, especially since they are currently giving away free contour pens with any purchase of MUA products in Superdrug.

4. New Look necklace


I wear this with practically every outfit! Its just so wearable and I usually purchase mainly silver items so the gold is a nice change.

5. Reeses Peanut Butter Cups



My last favourite is a food favourite I am truly addicted to! I love love LOVE these peanut butter cups! If you haven't had them you really need to try them!

So that's my January favourites!

Superdrug & Ebay Haul

Hi,

I recently purchased quite a few items on Ebay so I thought I'd show you them now that they have all arrived. I ordered most of these almost a month ago. They are all from Hong Kong so I have been waiting ages!

Here they all are:

Apologies for the photo but I took these on my phone. From left to right they are 1. Vintage Ring £1.26, 2. Cat Ears Ring £1.25, 3. Double C Pendant £1.89, 4. Double C Brooch £2.53, 4. Peace Pearl Bracelet £1.99, all had free delivery.

I love the rings but they're a bit small, I have chubby fingers though. The cat ears ring doesn't fit on my ring finger, which is a UK size N. The vintage style ring does fit though but I would have liked it on my middle finger. The pendant, which I have decided to make into a bag charm, is in my opinion a bit too large unless added to an extra long chain. I love the brooch! I bought this to go on a plain black tunic/top which comes in at the bust. It does look amazing on it <3 As soon as the bracelet arrived on Thursday I put it straight on and wore it to the Twilathon, which was amazing! In case you don't know the Twilathon was all 4 of the Twilight Saga films all at once, showing Breaking Dawn Part 1 at 00.01. I had a great time and I loved the film. It was the best one so far in my opinion but still nothing compared to the books.

I also placed an order with Superdrug online whilst it was free delivery on all orders and 3 for 2 on make up. I haven't tested them yet but here's what a bought:

 MUA Mosaic Blusher in English Rose £2.50
 Collection 2000 Sheer Loose Powder - Transluscent £2.99
MUA Heaven & Earth Palette £4

I think these MUA products are very well known so I haven't swatched them or anything. I read some great reviews about the Collection 2000 powder so I'm sure that will be a great product. So thats all of my buys, till Monday at least anyway (payday yay!) xx
