My Little MAC Collection

When I started my blog last year my make up collection was made up entirely of drugstore make up. Now though my collection of higher-end products is growing and my little collection of MAC is getting bigger and bigger!

Feline eye khol, Victorian lipstick, Viva Glam Gaga lipstick,

My Dark Magic eyeshadow, Knight Divine eyeshadow, Vainglorious eyeshadow, Wintersky eyeshadow, Formidable nail polish,  Bad Fairy nail polish

I know it's not a massive collection of MAC but I am slowly adding to it and I love all the products that I've got so far. I think my favourites are Knight Divine and Vainglorious but I only got Feline, Victorian and Wintersky the other day from a blog sale so I've still to have a play about with them.

NOTD - Barry M Instant Nail Effects!

I know you've seen so many posts with this nail polish but it's just so amazing I had to show you my NOTD!

I used a gold polish that I picked up at poundland which for £1 is really really good! Then I obviously added the Barry M Instant Nail Effect polish on top. I think it looks great and I was complimented on my nails while I was at work by a customer.

Have you tried the instant nail effects?

E.L.F and Eyeko Haul

Hello!

So the past couple months have bought no make up at all so I thought it was time to change that!

It was E.L.F's 3rd birthday a couple of weeks ago and to celebrate they were giving away a free eye palette and free delivery if you spent over a certain amount (I think it was £10 but I'm not sure). There had been a few things I'd been eyeing up so I thought this was the perfect opportunity to get them.

The first thing I added to my basket was one of their brightening eye colours in Butternut. All 4 colours are really nice and have tiny flecks of glitter through them. They're all great every day colours!

The next thing that I got (it's not in the picture thought) was the daily brush cleaner. I've not tried this out yet but it smells amazing!!

I've been wanting a blending brush for ages so I popped the blending eye brush from the £1.50 range in with my stuff. I love this brush, it's so good for £1.50! It's the only E.L.F brush I've tried but after getting this one I'll definitely be trying some of the others.

I'm searching for a concealer that's going to cover my horrible dark circles so I thought I'd try there corrective concealer from the studio range. I've still to have a play about with it to see if it works though.

I also got their natural looking lush lashes and the eyebrow stencil set.

All this stuff came to £13 (I think!) which meant I would get free delivery and a free eye shadow palette! You would either get the party palette or the natural palette but it would be chosen at random what 1 you would get. I was hoping for the natural palette cause it's got more everyday colours, which is what I like, and I was so happy when that's the 1 that I got! 2 of the colours look really similar to 2 of the colours in butternut but they're all still great looking!

I also did a little bit of shopping on Eyeko as they had an offer on where you could get £20 worth of products for only £10! I also ordered one of their graffiti eyeliner pens in black which meant I could use an ambassador code and get a free gift! I added up all the products I got and I think I got another graffiti eyeliner free but this time it was in teal.

So for your £10 you got a selection of Eyeko's new products to the value of £20. I loved this idea cause you don't know what you're getting and it'll be a surprise when you get your parcel! I was a little worried I could end up with things that I hated.

I was very pleasantly surprised however!

In my goodie bag I got a London Lips lipgloss in Shoreditch (bottom right), Magic Bronzer Brush in Rio (top left) and Cheeky Colour in Glow Getter (top middle and right). I also got my 2 eyeliners (bottom left).

The only thing I might not use is the bronzer as it seems too dark for my pale skin but I might use it for contouring. All the rest I absolutely love! The blusher is exactly the colour I would have picked myself. It's a really nice pale pink and a nice bright pink, they both look brighter swatched than they do in the packaging. I wasn't sure about the lipgloss at first but once I swatched it I really liked it!

Overall I'm really pleased with all the things that I got!

Have you bought anything new recently??

NOTD - Collection 2000 + 17

I was in town the other day and got very excited when I went into Boots and the 17 stand finally had there matte top coat! I've been looking for it for ages but every time I was in they never had it so I'm so pleased I've finally managed to get my hands on it.

I decided to team it with Collection 2000's Hot Looks in Vogue which is a gorgeous blue colour.

And this is the results...........

Sorry for the rubbish picture!

I'M BACK!!!!

Hi everyone!

Some of you might have noticed that I've been a bit MIA recently.

I started a new job a couple of months ago and since then I've just not had the time or the inspiration to blog.

The other night though I really fancied a bit of blogging so I got on blogger and started reading some blogs that I follow and it put me in the mood to start writing mine again!

So a massive thank you to everyone that still follows my blog and I promise I will be doing lots more posts!

Products I Regret Buying

Firstly just wanted to let you all know that this is my 100th post!! Who would have thought I would have so much to say!!

I'm sure that everyone has some products lurking in their collection that they wish they'd never bought. I had a little raid of mine and dug out the products that I regret buying.

1. Revlon Precision Lash Adhesive - I hate this! I bought it cause I used up all the glue that came with my false lashes but could still get some use out of them. I tried this once and I'm never going to use it again. I just could't get it to come off my eyelid after I had taken the lashes off. For days my lids kept sticking and no matter what I tried it just wouldn't come off.

2. "MAC Heatherette" Lipstick - I bought this in a twitter sale and it wasn't until I got it that I found out that it's a fake. Not happy!

3. Collection 2000 Brilliant Shimmer Lipgloss - There isn't anything wrong with this product, it's just that I don't wear it. I have sooooooo many lip products and this is one I just never reach for.

4. Blistex - I really don't like this. I don't like the little ball applicator and when I put it on it just totally dries up my lips. Not really what you what from a lip salve. 

5. Collection 2000 Glam and Glitter - This is like the other Collection 2000 product really, there's nothing wrong with it, I've just never worn it. Think the glitter puts me off a bit cause it just goes everywhere!

6. Bourjois Lipstick - This is a totally pointless product, there is absolutely no colour in it when I apply it, not good.

So what do you regret buying??

Would love to see you're products so leave me a link if you decide to do a post like this!

Project Bathroom - Update

First off I want to explain where ive been! Im sorry Ive not been doing many posts recently, ive had a lot on recently and ive had no insperation for blogging so I thought I would just give it a bit of a break until I felt like doing it again.

So my project bathroom's been going now for 2 months and I am slowly using up the stash of beauty products that I own. During August I managed to use up another 6 items off my list so im pretty pleased with that.

I used up my Skin Clear Daily Facial Scrub which I really liked. I've bought a different brand to replace it and I have to say I'm not very impressed by it and think I will defintitaly be going back to my Skin Clear one. I also used up my Pure wipes and my eye make up remover. I hated this make up remover, it's supposed to be sensitive but all it did was make my eyes sting really bad for hours after using it, so glad this is finished!

My other 3 products were a Simple hair mask, Montagne Jeunesse Aromatherapy Masque and a Lavera Young Faces Exfoliant Mask.

My list is still HUGE but I'm slowly getting there and it feels really good knowing that I'm using things up that ive had for ages.
