Huge Haul

I jut thought I would show you the things I have accumulated over the past 3/4 months - there are some books and also some makeup which I know looks like a lot but please keep in mind that I'm doing a makeup course and makeup is my life and I literally can;t stop myself from buying it....

Enjoy :)

  

Rimmel - Rita Ora Spring Collection

As you can see I only have five from the collection and I absoloutely love them! The colours I have are, Rain Rain Go Away which is a really muted pastel grey shade, Peachella which is a lovely peach shade, Daisy Days is a really lovely lemon shade - I know it doesnt look it in the photo but thats just the instagram filter, Sweet Retreat which is a lovely pastel baby pink and Wild-er-Ness which is a gorgeous lilac shade.

The colours are all pastel/spring shades which are gorgeous, the pigment is also lovely and the colour comes out really well and opaque on the nails.

The one thing I don't like is the brush, it is almost tapered as some of the bristles are short on the outside and longer in the middle so it makes the initial application a little streaky, so you do need to apply 2/3 coats - but other than that, I love these and you should really check them out! 

Revlon Lip Butters

I absolutely adore Revlon Lip Butters – although to be fair it took me a while to actually get into them. I bought my first one a way last year and it was in the shade Cupcake 055, and it didn’t really do me any favours – it didn’t flatter my skin tone and made my teeth look more on the yellow side which is not flattering. But the past month or so, I have really been loving them and I have bought 6 shades in total so far, which are (from left to right) Crème Brulee 095, Peach Parfait 025, Strawberry Shortcake 080, Macaroon 096, Berry Smoothie 050 and Candy Apple 035.I love everything about these products, the packaging – it’s simple but effective, the texture is incredibly smooth and moisturising, the colour payoff is brilliant and buildable, even the smell is good and for the price, they’re hard to beat!

I would highly recommend these, if you haven't tried them already!

MIA and Shopping

I'm going to apologise for being so MIA lately, I've been so busy with tech everyday and working nights that I haven't had time to properly sit down and do a post - granted I don't really have the time at the minute to either, but I don't want to leave you guys hanging.

Plus... I have been doing quite a bit of shopping this past month - like, a lot. Especially in Boots and Superdrug... I'm addicted. So I thought I would share with you the items I have purchsed in the past few weeks, beauty and non beauty. 

 I intend to do a blog post about the make-up items quite soon and I'll obviously be going into a lot more detail as well so keep an eye out :)

My Make - Up Storage

Lets start with the left hand side

This is where I keep my everyday make - up like my foundation, concealers, mascara etc.

If you seen my latest haul post then you would have seen this item I got from TkMaxx, it's a storage book that I have decided to use to store my foundations in. 

This is the bulk of my collection. Here I keep all of my palettes, brushes, lipsticks and lipbalms. In the glass jar to the left I keep all of my small lipglosses, lip balms/lip tints.

Both of my brush holders are from B&M

I've arranged my lipsticks to that all of my summer shades are to the far side, the neutrals are in the middle and all of my winter shades are at the side closest. 

I got these drawers from muji. It's a small set of two drawers, small set of five drawers and large two drawer set

I use a candle holder from B&M to hold my eyeliner pencils in and the floral crown is from Primark

Small Haul

My intial plan when I went into town was to buy a new lipstick, just one... but my plan failed. With help from my boyfriend, who egged me on to buy things, I may have bought too much. The shops I bought from were Superdrug, Boots, TkMaxx and Poundland, we'll start with Poundland and work our way back. 

The reason I went to Poundland was because I really wanted a glass mug for the likes of hot chocolate and smoothies etc. and I seen this... yes it is a classic beer mug, but for only being £1, I had to get it. I will be using it for smoothies and what not because it is really quite awesome. I love it

Next I went to TkMaxx, I love there wee storage boxes and as I'm a huge book lover, when I seen these storage boxes I just had to get them, plus they were really inexpensive. The smaller one, Paris, was only £3.99 and I'll be using this to keep my passport and house kets etc. in. The larger one, Italy, was £4.99 and I'll be using that to store some of my make-up

And lastly I went to Superdrug and Boots. Initially, like I said before I just wanted to buy a new lipstick, so I went to Superdrug because they usually have really good offers, unfortunately I didn't see any, which sucked, but then I went over to Sleek and seen that their Lipsticks are only £4.99! I was really surprised and had to get one. I then went over to Collection and looked at their lip pencils and seen they have a really nice plum shade, which I've wanted for ages, and for only £2.99  had to get it. 

From Boots I got two Revlon lip products because they had an offer on, two lip or nail products for £10, and as I've been eyeing up their moisture stains, I had to get one and then I seen a really lovely matte red lipticks which would be perfect for autumn/winter.

788 Mulberry (Sheen)

005 Parisian Passion

006 Really Red (Matte)

As you can probably tell, I am preparing my lip products for the autumn/winter season, as it is only around the corner. Let me know if you've tried any of these products and what you think :)

Snow White and The Huntsman

I love this collection. My mum bought me it for Christmas and even though it looks like I haven't been using it very much, I have used it quite a bit. It's the perfect palette if you want to create a nude eye look. 

The collection consists of 6 eyeshadows, 3 shimmer and 3 matts, a black eyeliner pencil and a red lipstick. The shadows are lovely, they're not chalky and have really good pigmentation and the shimmer isn't too much it's just slight which is also very nice. 

The eyeliner is just a simple black liner - it's smooth and has good pigmentation also.

I love the red lipstick, it's the perfect shade for a Snow White inspired look, it's also very smooth when applied to the lips, it has great pigmentation and it also smells quite nice. 

The packaging is also really nice - it's very simple which the apple on the front, the colour are also very nice I love the red, black and white theme that goes throughout and overall it's just a really lovely collection and I love it
