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 :)

FOTD- Nars Eurydice Duo & New Hair

As you can see I recently got myself a very new fringe! I'm absolutly loving it!

I'm currently thinking of so many hair styles to work the fringe with. I've thought of curling my entire hair and sticking in a rose at the side. hmmm I have all these ideas buzzing at the moment.. I got the fringe done at Tony and guys at my local shopping centre.

As I was there I grabbed myself a few products froms Nars I purchased Nars Laguna, one eye shadow duo in Eurydice. I love the purple in the duo so pretty with blue undertone its so gorgeous I had to get it! :).. Up next on my to get list is Benefit Hoola :)

So this is my quick, simple, everyday make up. I tend to use this look when I'm in a hurry and I always keep this palette in my bag when going out, just in case!

For this look I've used everything in this Clinque Palette. I applied Beach Plum on my entire eyelids and for highlight I dabbed Surge eye shadow along my brow bone.

I've used a clear pink lip gloss from Benefit called Her Glossiness: Didn't Hear it From Me. I love this lip gloss so muchh!! I am lovin the scent too which is sort of a fruity-candy fragrance :).

Finally, on the apple of the cheeks I have used Clinique Bashful blush, which I find is very similar to Mac Desert Rose.
