Exciting haul! Mac & Bobbi Brown ♥


On monday i toodled along to my local CCO which, thankfully, is only up the road from me, So i practically live there, which i suppose it kind of dangerous to my credit card haha.

The goodies...

Bobbi brown Shimmer Brick For Body - £45
Every time i went in my CCO, i always used to pass the Bobbi brown counter umm and ahh-ing, thinking 'one day, i will get that!' But i never do, it just seemed so much to spend on one item. But after some careful reaserch, I came to the conclusion that you get an awful lot of product for your money, 15g worth, and its going to last forever, so i baught...and so far, Its taken the place of Mac's Soft And Gentle and is now my favourite everyday face highlighter! I'm loving Bobbi Browns stuff at the moment.

Mac Oyster Girl Lipglass £7.50
This was just a compulsive buy.I do really love it though and glad i picked it up, Its a beautiful pearly pale pink lipgloss with quite alot of silver shot through it. It looks gorgeous paired with Mac's Pretty Please lipstick!

Now onto the most exciting part...


Mac's Marine Life Highlight Powder. (eeeee!)
I know i'm a bit behind on the whole Marine Life hype, But a friend in the US has been holding onto this baby for me since the 'to the beach collection' was released and ive been looking forward to recieving it ever since! It came this morning and i couldnt me more happy with it, It surley is a peice of art. Even my mother thinks this is beautiful, and shes not a huge fan of makeup herself to say the least.

Isnt it just gorgeous to look at?

I'm dying to try it on, however i'm too scared to use it though, knowing that the pretty gold is only a thin overspray...
I'm going to have to suck it up and use it at some point though, and when i do, expect a full review (:

Haul: Nars, Mac, Bobbi Brown, Models Own & Cath Kidston ♥



Another week, another haul...

What i got:
Mac Spiced Chocolate quad - £21.95 Local CCO
Bobbi brown Pale Mauve Lipstick - £10.50 Local CCO
Models Own Nail polish Jade stone, Grey Day, Champeigne, Nude Beige - £5 each Boots
Nars Torrid - £19.50 Nars.com

The product i'm most excited about is Mac's Spiced chocolate quad that came out with the Cult of cherry collection...ive been eyeing it up ever since and thaught id never get my mitts on it since its Limited adition. I even was contemplating paying the mammoth ammounts on eBay for it! So i was very lucky to find this in my CCO, I literally squealed when i spotted it sitting on the shelf. It's Such a well put together quad (Nanogold, Brash, Sweet Chestnut, Spiced Chocolate), The colors are all very wearable and perfect for the upcoming colder months.
I'm also loving Models own polishes at the moment...Maybe even more then OPI? (...never thaught i would say that!). They have a beautiful range of colours and finnishes and i'm most definitely going to collect some more!
The Bobbi brown Lipstick and Nars Torrid are always things that i have wanted to try, So i just caved in and baught them. Hopefully some positive reviews will come soon (:


I also got this adorable HUGE Cath Kidston makeup/toiletries bag. Perfect for going on holiday and staying at friends houses. Right now i'm using it for my moisturizers and general skin care products as its waterproof, so if my Lush toner spills, it wont be damaged.

I'm a big Cath Kidston fan but only have several items as its quite expensive, But I was so suprised at the price of this...It was on sale for a teeny tiny £12.00, thats fab considering Cath kidston things are usually way above that.

I love it. Its made out of the usual Oil cloth material and has sweet little robins on it, How cute is that? (:
Ive never seen this design before, Its beautiful!

What do you think of Cath Kidston things?

July 2010 Faves! ♥


Wow, cant believe July's over!
Its quite scary how fast this years going! Next thing you know, it'll be 2011! eeee.

Anyways, I did alot of experimenting in July, Trying to find some HG status products.
I think i may have found a few good'uns (:

here are the products ive fallen head over heals for in July:


Dior Diorskin Nude Foundation.
Ive been on the search for the HG foundation. This is most definitly it! Sinks right into the skin , masks any flaws, feels fresh and light and adds a subtle glow!

Lush Tea Tree Water Toner.
I dont usually like toners because they irrittate my super sensitive skin like crazy. This one however, dosnt contain any alcahol so it isnt drying at all. It also has an anaseptic ingredient that kills any nasty bacteria on your face which stops those pesky spots popping up! genius! Ive used this every morning without fail and have only a little bit left in this hugeee bottle, Good job i have a backup!

Mac Soft and Gentle MSF.
Ive been interchanging this beauty with Dior amber diamond alot this month, but have been reaching for this a bit more. Its a nice simple shade that goes with any look. I use this wet with Fix +. Result = lovely dewy skin.

Bobbi Brown Corrector in Bisque.
Simple peach based product that erases blue tones under the eyes like a dream! Its a tad expensive for this tiny little pot but you only need to dab your finger in it once and thats more than enough!

Mac Prep and Prime Face Powder.
Now, I'm one of those 'No powder' girls. Well atleast i was until i tried this! My foundation tends to shift around the nose and chin area, but stays put everywhere else, So i thaught i would take my chances with this. Im glad i did, because its the most finely milled powder ever and certainly does not look like your wearing powder at all. It gives a smooth 'Soft focus' effect on the skin also. This is a must have for me now.

Nars Gina Blush.
Gorgeous, long wearing, summery,Pigmented, dusty peach shade. Nuff' said.
Im'a peach loving girl.

Revlon Peach Petal Lipgloss.
Yummy milky peach gloss. Ive been reaching for this alot because its enough to wear on its own because its quite opaque. Lipstick is just far too heavy feeling when its hot outside!


None makeup related thing ive been loving and living off in the last month...Good ol' English Tea and Biscuits!
i'm addicted, yum.
