Mac Dare To Wear Haul

I promised myself to save up for the Mac Venemous Villians Collection I am really looking forward to that collection. I was unable to hold back on the Dare To Wear Collection, once I came across these stunning lipglasses.

I first purchased Ban This! on its own when I wore it I fell it love with the silk like texture and more importantly I loved its longeivty it stays on for hours.I didn't have to touch up majorly throughout the day and the colours are just so stunning :)


Lipglasses: Dare To Wear, Gimme That, Ban This!, Bold And Brash

Love this nude looking lip plump by Too Faced its called First Time. I already own two lipsticks by them I dont actually own any lipglosses so I thought I'd give this one a try. I also love the candy scent on this

I might apply this on a nude lipstick like Mac Myth or Honeylove.


Frequently asked Questions:

I get this question asked quite a lot on which lotion I use, which Dove Lotion I use? as there are so many! Well I like to use the Dove Silk. I've been using this for almost a year now I usually use it on my face,neck and body. It has a fresh smelling fragrance to it not too strong fairly light. I pop this one on once I step out the shower.

I really love this lotion it really gives my skin the moisture it needs, it doesnt clog any pores. In the end my skin feels soft and refreshed.

Mac Give me Liberty of London Haul, OOTD

Mac Blooming Lovely, Mac Petals & Peacocks, Mac Birds & Berries,

Just a few things that I grabbed from the Mac Give me Liberty of London collection. I must say the packaging is really cute. I was drawn to the Mac Blooming Lovely liptick instantly as it kind of reminded me of Mac Lavendar Whip so I decided to get this one. I have already worn Mac Petals & Peacocks so will definatly be doing a FOTD very soon. :)

Mini haul, Dolce and Gabbana,Nars,Just Me :P

Dolce and Gabbana Charm Lipgloss is a beautiful pink colour not too bright very wearable for any time of the day it contains blue and bright pink refelects. It’goes on like silk not too sticky.

The lipgloss consists of heavy rose scent, which I love very much I adore rosey scents at the moment! I apply it in thin layers and build up a little for a thicker, glossier feel/look or to intensify the shimmer. I find two coats is the perfect amount for me. I love the way the blue reflects under the light so beautifully I got so many compliments at work for this.

I find the gloss lasts a few hours on my lips on its own, and it’s colored enough to wear it alone. I haven't tried it over any lipgloss as of yet but I will be experimenting to show you guys :)

Nars Night Star is a stunning light peach colour with gold glitter it reminds me of Mac Light Shade which is a limited edition I was worried if I ran out if I'd be able to find a similar colour.

I was so pleased to find this eye shadow when I came across it. I like using this on my entire lids for a completly natural look. I also use it as a highlight for the brows and on the cheeks sometimes for a natural glowy look.


Roaming about the place on the weekend...Gladstone Park

I love Gladstone Park although the weather wasn't at its very best it still didn't stop me from going. I was at one of the cafes, they have two small cafes at the two entrances of the park they're not too over priced I'd say reasonable priced.

I'm always there whenever I get a chance as I'm totally addicted to their cherry pies with a warm hot chocolate nothing is better than having one of those on a cold day like this :D

------------------------------------------------------------------

I came across this hilarious clip only yesterday! Its so funny I've watched it 50 times now and I still cant stop laughing at it LOL

Cheeky Gibbon Monkey!!...


Thanks for reading :) x

Haul: Mac, Benefit, Illamasqua,some thoughts

Here is what I grabbed from the Mac All Ages,All Races, All Sexes Collection :)



I love matte eye shadows! I thought Mac All Races would be perfect for the neutral eyes.

I fell in love with Macs Show stopper right away I love the dark colour in the palette it will come into many uses as I love using dark browns they're so versatile espicially for the smokey eyes or dakening of the crease. Plus I dont own that many dark browns I need more brown shades....

I got the Mac Taupe & Black Brow pencils. I am really into my brows I'd rather not wear any foundation or any make up and only do my brows, for me it really frames my face. For some reason I've never been into brow pencils I prefer using a dark brown eye shadow with an angled brush along with a brow setter, it works so much easier for me.

I thought I'd try out Mac's brow pencils. They come with a cream like texture (once warm I hate using it when the pencil is cold dont get much use out of them otherwise). What I do is fill in my brows with the pencil and draw the arch with a angled brush I find it gives a more percise finish.

Laugh with me Lee Lee by Benefit: This fragrance comes in a cute lil packaging, I didnt throw it away. when im going out I usually dash this one in my bag. I just cant get enough of this perfume. It has a floral-woody fragrance, which incorporates notes of currant leaves and buds, melon, citruses, black violet, lily, jasmine. I'm using it up like crazy! I love loove it so much.. :)

I finally got Dallas by Benefit! And I must say the scent of their products is so lovely I can sniff it all day so refreshing. Dallas is such a pretty colour it gives a really fresh glow to my cheeks I purchased it purely because it gave my cheeks a natural rosey finish.

My very new Bronzing duo! cant get enough of this.. Since purchasing this product I haven't gone a single day without using it.

I thought I'd try out Illamasqua bronzers. The MUA applied some of the bronzing powder onto my cheeks it looked so natural agains my skin not too orangey like other bronzers and netheir did it look unatural or too obvious. I'm using this one a lot espicially when in a hurry for work or just going out in general.

The highlighter is very natural it has a very light peachy colour to it with gold under tones the texture goes on like silk, on my skin and it doensn't look like I have so much on. I find it really defines my cheeks and gives it a lift. The Bronzer is called Glint and Garnish for those of you who would love to try this one out :)

Shopping Spree

I went into Selfridges a few days ago and picked up these gorgeous lashes by Shu Uemura, I was drawn to them by the glistening crystals on the lashes; I’ve been meaning to pick up these lashes for a long time now for going out. The crystals come in a selection of colours you can choose upto 10 crystal for £10 and they also cut the lashes to fit the legnth of your eyes. I asked the MUA to glue the crystals to the outer corners of the lashes I choose only 3 on each side now I wish I chose a few more: s.

I was on the Illamasqua website and I ended up liking a few of their things in particular the purplish, violet looking lipsticks and lip-glosses. I formed a list and went down there and tried a small number of their lipsticks and purchased Fetish (dark purple colour) and Corrupt (bright pink) along with Fierce lip-gloss (I love this I’m addicted to it :D)


---------------------------------------------------------------

I really love Inglot cosmetics I purchased a lot of their eye shadows and several lipsticks. I was over the moon when I came across a complete duplicate of Mac Lavender Whip in 420 the only dissimilarity is its exceptionally matte, the colour intensity’s with quite a few applications. I love looove this lipstick I wear this one for work.

In the focal point we have 403 its a nude lipstick, I really think it is the perfect nude for Asian skin tone, its not too vivid like Mac Myth its somewhat toned down its also matte the colour is so gorgeous. On the far right is a deep burgundy matte colour I got this because of the concentrated colour I absolutely love deep reds or any reds actually! I missed out on a similar lipstick to this in one of Mac’s winter or autumn collection it was sold out.

Mac- Love That Look Collection


Things I selected from the Mac love that look collection. I have been relentlessly using smokes and diamonds, to me it looks like ashes on a pan however its such a pretty colour.

I am in love with Via Veneto! This is my much-loved one out all of my Dazzleglasses.

I first saw swatches of it on Specktra moreover I had to get it. It consists of purple and blue reflects in glitter and goes flawlessly with any violet or pink lipsticks, I like to pair it with Mac Lavender Whip and Mac Colour Crafted Lipstick.

Mac Colour Craft Collection

What I picked out from the Colour Craft Collection:

Colour Crafted Lipstick

Has a frosty formula, but I don't find it to look like a frost at all.It is like a creamy pastel pink


Natural Flare Quad
I'm loving the orange colour from this quad!
Cant wait to use it

Cheeky Bronzer
Improvise
A gorgeous peachy colour also the very first thing
that caught my eye as soon as I stepped into Mac :)
I fell in love with it!

Cheeky Bronze & Improvise
Cheeky Bronze is much more pigmented than Improvise which is slightly darker. While Improvise gives a very soft glow look.
