MAC Treats

Hey my lovelies, I thought I'd share with you a couple of treats I picked up from MAC recently, I do love student loan day, but as this is the last one I'll ever receive I thought I would splash out on some lovely bits! 

Amplified Creme Lipstick in Craving

I've only got Satin finish lipsticks, so I thought I'd try a new finish for once! This is the most stunning colour, it's a lovely colour for Spring Summer and it's also got great staying power, and the pigmentation is gorgeous! I can see this turning in to a fast favourite.

Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Vintage Selection

This paint pot is a stunning pinky peach toned shimmer colour, and I absolutely love it! It'll look so pretty as a base or as a wash over the lid in the warmer weather, really excited to get using this one and I've already got some looks planned out where this will look stunning! 

So there's not loads to go through, but I know that I love checking out people's MAC purchases so I thought I'd share mine. I hope you enjoyed reading and please check back for more posts.

BOOTS HAUL

Hello lovers! Now, as you all probably know, Boots are doing a wonderful 3 for 2 triple points events! This applies to nearly all of their make up brands, as well as some of their skincare range. So I thought I'd share my purchases with you lovely lot, and I've seen a few other bloggers sharing their buys from this event, so let's all share and be Boots friends!

Bourjois Products

Now, as you can gather from previous posts, Bourjois is definitely my favourite drugstore brand, so I definitely took advantage of their products in this offer. I picked up the beauty of a highlighter I had been wanting for ages which is the gorgeous Bourjois Java Rice Powder, a wonderful pink toned shimmery highlighter, as I have cool tones in my skin this really suits me and my pale complexion, although I would not recommend it for you especially tanned folk, but I love this product, I've used it a few times since purchasing and it really helps to brighten up my face. Then I picked up two lippys from their Aqua Laque range, which is a glossy liquid lipstick, now I own nearly all of their Rouge Edition Velvets and am in love, so I thought I'd try these out, I picked up the colours Rosè On The Rocks and Viens Si Tu Rose, I have never been a gloss girl but as it approaches spring/summer I want to try out new beauty trends, I have only used the lighter of the two colours which is Rosè On The Rocks, and I can say it is stunning, a lovely muted pastel with a stunning shimmer, and for a gloss it really stays put for a lot longer than I anticipated, so I hope good things for the other colour I purchased as well as the rest of the range.

Rimmel Products

I'm also very much a Rimmel girl, they have wonderful products and they never let me down. I was in need of a new primer, and I'm the kind of person who likes to switch up my primers, I haven't found my holy grail yet so I keep on the hunt, and I picked up their Fix and Pro Primer, I haven't used it yet but I'll be sure to share my thoughts when I've used up my L'Oreal Infallible Base. I also picked up two more of the wonderful Kate Moss range of lipsticks, the stunning nude which is shade 03, and an amazing deep purple in shade 30. I've heard wonderful things about the nude and I've tried it once and I absolutely love it so I'm so glad I picked this one up, and I have such a love for deep purples so I'm sure I'll love that one all the same.

Skincare Products

In a great turn of luck all my skincare products seemed to run out at the same time, so it was time to pick up a new moisturiser, cleanser and night cream. And luckily their 3 for 2 offer extended to simple skincare, I used to use simple all the time for my skin was ever so sensitive when I was younger, and I thought it wouldn't do any harm to revert back to it. I picked up the Kind To Skin Micellar Cleansing Water, Kind To Skin Replenishing Rich Moisturiser and the Kind To Skin Vital Vitamin Night Cream. I've only just started to use these products so I don't feel like they've done the world of difference yet, but the moisturiser is definitely better on my skin and helps keep my face hydrated throughout the day. I also picked up four of my favourite face masks which are the Montagne Jeunesse face masks, not involved in the 3 for 2, just a little treat for Emily, these are always a part of my pamper evenings so I thought I'd stock up, and for £1? How can you not! 

So that's everything in my Boots haul, I hope you enjoyed reading and if you picked up anything in this offer let's all share and discuss! Please check back for more posts.

Make Up Haul

Hello loves! Long time no see, but unfortunately I've had show week, auditions and lots of essays due so there's really been no time. But I did take a nice trip to Westfield the other day and I thought I'd share my purchases with you guys.

So I picked up some lovely bits from MAC and Kiko, the stores in Westfield are huge and the staff were so lovely and helpful, I have heard some bad things about staff rudeness in MAC specifically, and as I'd never been to a MAC store before this day, I was actually quite nervous. But they were so lovely, and as I knew what I wanted they were able to help me quickly.

MAC Studio Fix Fluid (NW13)

So I have been wanting this for so long, and I've just not had the money for it, I've only ever used drug store foundations, and yes they look great when first applied, but if I've got a long day ahead of me, then I pretty much know my make up is going to look like poop by the end of it. I'd heard such good things about the Studio Fix fluid, so I saved up and got this beauty for myself. I have go say I absolutely love it, it stays in place all day, I went in to Central for the whole day yesterday, there was drizzle and wind and it still looked perfect when I got home at 11, I am in love!

MAC Pro Longwear Concealer (NW20)

And to go along with that I got the Pro Longwear concealer, and really my opinion on this is the same as the Studio Fix, it really does exactly what it says, it does not budge, and it really combats my dark circles, it's made me a lot more confident with those pesky dark circles!

MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot (Painterley)

I have also wanted one of these for the longest time too, my eyeshadow always smudges because I have quite cheap palettes, they're beautiful colours and great to blend but their staying power really isn't great, but since using this they are setting so well, and this way I don't have to fork out on expensive palettes, this literally does all that work!

MAC Lipsticks (Cyber, Twig)

I finally picked up some MAC lipsticks of my own! I haven't tried Cyber yet, but Twig has already had some serious love, they're both Satin finishes and, well Twig at least, is beautiful, stays put and is also very moisturising on my lips, can't complain at all, and I can see my MAC lipstick obsession starting here... (Expensive obsession, boo!)

Kiko Precision Lip Pencil (300)

I also picked up this little beauty, it's the perfect nude liner, my old one is slightly too dark for true nude shades, but this is perfect, goes lovely with Twig and Kiko is so reasonably priced!

Kiko Soft Light Powder (02)

Not that I really needed this, but at least I have a spare when I run out of powder! This is lovely on my skin and really evens everything out, a trusty little powder and again, so reasonably priced.

So that was my little haul for you guys, I hope you enjoyed reading and please check back for more posts.
