Huge M.A.C and Sephora Haul


So I have recently gotten back from Florida and of course I went to Sephora, who couldn't when you travel to the USA. I'm going to start off with what I picked up from M.A.C as there isn't at much to talk about. So the first thing I picked up was a M.A.C eyeshadow in the shade Antiqued, I love this shade and have been wearing it a lot since I bought it, the second thing I picked up was a M.A.C Paint Pot in Painterly, I have been using this since I bought it, I have no idea what I did without this.

So on to what I picked up in Sephora, and there is a lot, I spent a lot of money in Sephora but I had been saving up and didn't spend as much as I thought I would. 

The first thing I picked up was the Tarte Amazonian Clay Full Coverage Airbrushed Foundation in Fair Light Neutral, I had wanted this foundation for ages, and I am so pleased that I purchased this, the coverage is amazing and depending in what type of brush you use will depend in the amount of coverage, this is a very build able foundation and I have worn this a lot since I got my hands on it. To go with this foundation I picked up the Pro Flawless Light Powder Brush in 50, this is an amazing brush and i love using it with this powder foundation, as it gives a very natural finish. 

I also picked up on of the Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush in Exposed, I have worn is everyday since I purchased it, I think it is save to say I am in love with this, very natural blush that just makes you look healthy. 

Now on to all the brow products I picked up, I used to be the person that didn't do much to her brows as I though it didn't make a difference and oh I was wrong so I knew that I needed to pick up the Anataisa Beverly Hills Brow Wiz in Dark Brown, I have been using this every time to do my make-up.  The next brow product I picked up was the Anataisa Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade in Dark Brown, I normally use them went I am doing a full face of make-up, I wore this for my graduation.
I also picked up the Sephora Brow Filler 100, I love this brush it works really well for filling in my brows it works really well.

The next thing I picked up was the Kat Von D Tattoo Liner in Trooper  I have needed a new felt tip liner for while and I had hear good things about this, I have to say that I love this eye-liner, its just a shame that I can't buy this easily in the UK.

I also picked up the Bite Neutral Luminous Creme Lipstick Duo in Date and Fig, I struggle to find neurtal lipsticks that suit my skintone but both fig and date suit me really well and they are prefect to carry around in handbag and are prefect for days when I don't want to have to worry about my lip colour fading. I also picked up Bite Luminous Creme Lipstick in Fig  I love this colour so much and I wanted the full size.

If you have read my blog before you may realised that I have a love of Red lipstick, so I picked up the Sephora Cream Lip Stain in 01, this is a love red shade it is long wearing and amazing.

I have wanted a spot cleaner for ages so I picked up the Sephora Daily Brush Cleaner, this cleans by brushes quickly and it doesn't take them very long to dry and they feel so nice after I use this.

The next things I got with points, the first thing was a travel size  Living Proof Instant Texture Mist, I like this as it gives my hair a little it more texture, I like using this when I am not doing much to my hair. The next thing I got was the Sephora Contour Eye Pencil 12hr Wear- Waterproof, this is a beautiful blue eye-liner that looks amazing when I am I wearing wear very little on my eyes.
The last thing is the birthday present from Sephora, it was the Nars Duo in Cruella and Rikigien, I love both of these colour and will get a lot of wear out of them.

Una Brennan Salicyclic Acid Anti Blemish Clay Mask Review



So I have been meaning to write this post for awhile now, I am eventually getting around to putting my thoughts about this product down on paper (laptop). I have been using this clay mask now for about 8 months if not more and I have really enjoyed using this product.

The product claims to clear out dirt, excessive oils and toxins which leads to breakouts, I have been using this for about 4 months now I have to say it is one of the most effective clay masks I have used and it really does work well on my blemishes and it does help to clear out my pores as I have very oily skin which means that I tend to have quite a lot of black heads which are really stubborn. I use this mask about twice a week and I love it as I only have to leave it on for 5 minutes.
This means that I can easily add it into my skin care routine even if i am in a bit of a hurry as I don't have to sit around for 15 minutes. I do however tend to use this more at night as I removes excess oil I find that I like to use it at night so I can go straight in with my serum and moisturiser.

I like the packaging for this product as it is a simple layout and I like that the background is a light grey with black, Bright Green and Grey text and the front is easy to read. I like that the product just tells you what you need to know.

The product is a quite thick but is really easy to apply to the face and I like to use quite a thick layer over the skin, it doesn't take very long to dry, it does tingle a little when it is applied to the skin but it doesn't tingle for long and most importantly it doesn't burn. It makes the skin feel very soft and it does help with my blemishes, and you don't have to wait around for ages for this product to work as you only need to leave it on for 5 minutes, which is great for me as I get very bored when I have to sit with a face mask on for 15 minutes for more.

I haven't noticed that much of a smell with this product, this would be good for people that are sensitive to smells.

This product would be great for oily or blemish prone skin, it might be a little much for people who have dry skin but if you following it but with a hydrating serum and moisturiser you may be able to get away with it.

I would definitely say that this mask it worth the money, it is £8.99 from boots, I think this is very good value for the money.

Graduation Ball Makeup



So I have just had my graduation ball and though it would be nice to show you what make up I wore.

I took my Nars Luminous Weightless Foundation, which might have developed into my new favourite foundation, I am in the shade Mont Blac, this is a foundation that is best suited to oily skin and it lasts for a really long time and it has very good coverage it would say medium but it is definitely buildable. I also brought my sample size of my Benefit Porefessional, which is one of my favourite primers. I also brought my benefit stay all day eye primer and my NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk. For concealers I brought my Maxfactor Colour Corrector Stick for Under Eyes and my Revlon Colour Stay in Light, this is a little yellow but it blends really well and the coverage is okay its not amazing but it does the job. For my Eyes I used my Urban Decay Naked on The Run Palette which I will do a review on when I get back from Florida, as it is advertised as the perfect travel palette, as it has bronzer, blush and a highlighter. For contour I brought my Illmasqua Hollow, which is the perfect cream contour for pale skin. I also brought my Urban Decay Subversion and Perversion mascara. For my Brows I used the Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette the two darkest colours and my Maybelline Brow Drama. On my cheeks I used my friends Nars Blush (I was going to use my Topshop Creme Blush in Head over Heels). On my lips I used my Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick in 107 and my Ellis Faas Lipstick in the shade L103. The highlighter I used Benefits High Beam and One Heck of a Blot.

May Favourites 2015



So I haven't done favourites post in months and the reason why is  I haven'r really had that many, so I thought I would do a combine my favourites.

Bourjois CC cream:
I haven't really wanted to wear a heavy foundation this month so I have found myself reaching for my Bourjois CC cream, as it is light coverage but will still make my blemishes less noticeable. The colour is slightly dark on me but I am able to blend it in well so it is hardly noticeable.



My very beautiful red dress
Little Mistress Red Dress:
This dress is one of my favourites this month, isn't it amazing, I'm not normally one to talk about clothing but this is rather special as this was the dress that I wore for my graduation ball, I love the colour and the style as it givers me the illusions of having bigger boobs as it has a sweetheart neckline but it has a sort of mesh type fabric covered in beads which really hides the fact that I have very little in the boob department.













Nars All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation:
I have only just bought the full size of this product but I feel completely in love with my sample and I knew i needed it in my life, this gives medium buildable coverage and stays really well on my very very oily skin, and although it has great staying power it doesn't look overly matte, unlike my Estee Lauder Double Wear.

Benefit Rockateur Blush:
this is a blush I had wanted for a very long time and my Aunty purchased this for me for my birthday back in February, and I have fallen in love with it. She bought me the Rock-itude gift set and I have to say that I also love high beam and bene tint.

Illamasqua Hollow:
I have wanted this for a long time and purchased it back in february and I have been in love with it even since, it can look slightly scary when you first get it but it really is the perfect contour if you have a light skin tone, as it isn't too orange or too muddy, it really is the prefect shade (can you tell I love this).

I haven't really had that many favourites this month, as i have been very lazy this month when it comes to new products.

Coffee With Currys Event



So last Thursday I was invited to an event hosted by Joes Blogs and Curry's, I like coffee and alcohol and my friends Becca from a Polkadotnotebook said that I would enjoy so I asked if there was any space left and there was which was really surprising as it was about two days before the event. This is only the third blog event I have been too and the only one this year ( I really need to be more sociable).



I have to say the Cocktails were amazing, although I am not really that keen on coffee and alcohol together, I did enjoy the Salted Caramel Latte Cocktail, I couldn't of drank very many of these and as I said earlier I'm not really a big fan of alcohol and coffee. After we all chatted for a bit it was time of the Cocktail Masterclass over at the bar and we had the very talented (and patient) Rory and Josh. 


When it was my turn to go and make a cocktail I asked for it without coffee, (I know it was a coffee event but) I have to say I am really glad I did, it tasted like Fab ice lollies it had amaretto and cherry and chocolate vodka and chocolate sauce what's not to love, and as much as I love coffee it would have been far to strong for me. Every group made a different cocktail so it was still really interesting to watch, although I was at the back and found it slightly hard to see but that's what I get for being short. I have to say Rory and Josh are very good at what they do and so much more skilled than we were, the picture below is them pouring 5 cocktails at once, 


They then did a very amazing vodka train and OMG it was amazing, and every one got a shot it was so nice I think mine was fruit salad and it was so nice if I had let myself I could have just sat and drank them forever (I didn't tho as I need to get a bus home). We were then invited to have some nibbles the pizza was amazing and some lovely bloggers won some amazing prizes for the best tweets and Instagram posts. 
So many shots

Sephora Wishlist



I am travelling to America soon and I am going to Sephora (obviously), so I decided to make a list of what make up and things I wanted, some of these are things that we can't get in the UK and others that are so much cheaper to buy in the states

The first thing I want is the Clinique Pop Lip Colour + Primer in the shades Berry Pop and Beigie Pop, The first colour is a very me colour as I love bright and berry colours. The second colour is a lot more neutral which has been something I have been going for lately. 

The second thing I want is Kat Von D Studded Kiss Lipstick in A Go Go and Bachelorette, yet again a neon orange matte lipstick is something that I know I will love, like I said I love bright colours if I can't be bold with lip colour then what can I be bold with, that being said Bachelorette is a colour that I wouldn't normally go for but I think that it would suit me. 

I have fallen in love with doing my eyebrows recently, and really want to try the Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade in Dark Brown, this will be completely new to me as I use a pencil to fill in my brows but I have heard great things about this, so will be over the moon if I can get my hands on it. 

I have wanted this foundation for ages the Tarte Anazonian Clay Full Coverage Airbrush Foundation in fair light neutral, I have been after this foundation but I didn't really want to buy it online so I have waited until my holiday to purchase it. 

The last thing I really want is the Tarte Airbuki Bamboo Powder Foundation Brush, I have wanted this brush since I decided I want the airbrush foundation and i think it will be really good at applying the foundation. 

Okay so I lied it wasn't the last thing but this is a maybe, I love my beauty blender that Becca gave me for my birthday, so I am tempted to get another one but I'm not sure yet.
