Give me Liberty.

A small Mac haul. I mentioned in a previous post that I was really excited for the Liberty of London, but to be honest I only got 2 things.

Not sure if thats a good thing or a bad thing?!

Well heres what I got from the collection,

Shell pearl beauty powder, I have to admit that I first got this because of the packaging * hides face*, but I'm glad I bought it. It is a finally milled peach powder with gold iridescent.

I know Mac Polishes can be a bit hit and miss, and this isnt the best nail polish Iv had but all it takes is 2 good coats for good coverage. Blue India is a grey blue, similar to OPI suzi says feng shui but darker.

I then bought 2 things from the permanent line.

Well Dressed blush, is a pale cool toned pink and is a satin finish. Sable eyeshadow pan which is a plumy brown with gold iridescent.

*Swatches, Sable, Well Dressed, Shell Pearl.*

Did you get anything from the latest collection?

Ebay is my BFF.

Hi,

Iv been meaning to post this for a couple of weeks now, but only just got round to it oops!

I recently made a nail polish purchase, these are my first OPIs, from an ebay seller here (really who wants to pay £9-10 for a bottle of nail polish!). I highly recommend buying from this seller, it cost me a total of £15 for three bottles of nail polish plus shipping!, they also arrived fast 5 days to be precise.
I got Seche Vite Fast Dry top coat, OPI suzy says feng shiu and OPI Mod about you. OPI suzy says feng shiu is a grey blue colour, unique in my eyes, and I applied 2 coats but you could get away with applying just one followed by a coat of seche vite ( not sure if this is right but I let the colour dry before applying the top coat I'v heard you should apply it when the colour is wet, has any body tried this?), it lasted a good 10 days with only minimal chipping!

Next pay day I'm planning to buy a few more (I'm hooked!). Any suggestions?

Now I'm off to paint my nails with mod about you.

Easy as pie.

Iv been looking for some natural looking false lashes for a while now and when I spied these on the MAC website I knew I had to try them out!

They are the #20 half lash and look like this,

This is the before...
...And this is the after

For some weird reason I lashes never sit well on my right eye!

I think if you were looking for a natural looking lash, or if you were starting out these are the best ones. Half lashes are a whole lot easier to apply than full strip. They make eyes open and add length to the outer corner which looks a lot more natural than length all over.

These are £8.50 from MAC.

Hope you found this helpful.

Mac...I missed you!

Can you believe it, this is my first MAC purchase of 2010!


I think alot of the collections have been a bit blah, but I'm holding out for liberty of London.


So on to the make up...



The long awaited Viva Glam Gaga. I would describe it as a light bubblegum pink, its a lustre so on first application its pretty sheer but very build able. I really like this colour and considering getting a back up (which I never do!), and if you didn't know 100% of costs go to the MAC Aids fund which I think will justify my buying another :).Duo lash adhesive and 20# Half Lashes.
Woodwinked eyeshadow pan, which is a warm goldish/brown and a Veluxe Pearl. And the 217 crease brush.
*Swatches, Woodwinked and Viva Glam Gaga*

Hope you have all had a great week so far!
Love

Tiny Haul.

Hi, guys

So I went shopping on Saturday for a present, and got a little bit distracted :).

Debenhams had a 10% off sale that was calling my name, I only got one thing but it was a bargain!

I was looking for a loose powder to replace the one im currently using (as it is £26 a pop, ouch!) that would also double up as a foundation. Iv heard good things about Bare Minerals, i'll review this product when I get around to using it. Usually it is £45, but there was a 10% off sale so it was £40 and then I had a £5 voucher (because I have a Debenhams beauty card) so in the end it was a grand total of £35, bargain!

Then shock horror WH Smith didn't have Vouge, luckily ASDA did!

That's the end off my little haul, I was strong and resisted LUSH!

Have you recently had any good buys?

Love Jess
