Make Up Store Haul! Eyes

This has to be one of my most exciting hauls in ages! I had a weekend in London recently and i couldn't wait to go to the Make up Store on Carnaby street. I have been before but not for a while. So here are the beautiful eye colours i came out with.
A gorgeous mix of browns and creams. As most people have figured out im a major browns and neutrals lover. I just think they can be used in so many ways to create fab looks on asian skin tones.




The colours swatched.



The pictures below are here so you can pair them up below to see which colour is called what...in case you want to buy them. I would recommend them to anybody.






These eyeshadows were £11 each i think. They are huge pots really so plenty of colour for you money, each shadow is so smooth, highly pigmented and easily blendable. I also love the shimmer in them, its pure shimmer and certainly not glitter i must add. Im afraid i cant even pick a favourite amongst these as i love them all so much.
If anybody is in London and reading this or going to London then i cant recommend this store enough. For me it beats mac hands down, i literally want/need everything.
I will also be posting future pics with eye looks for you all to see. Since buying these i haven't found the need for any other colours...and im debating not buying the Urban Decay Naked Pallette 2!!!...shock!!!

Nars Blush Stick

I bought this beauty in New York in a Sephora store. I absolutely love love love it! It's a Nars blush stick in my favourite colour Orgasm


This glides on to the skin and leaves the most gorgeous colour and sheen. I like using this in the summer as it leaves my skin looking glowy and fresh. Swatch


I'm usually hesitant about cream blush as I never think I'll be able to blend it properly or get it strong enough. This however is very easy to work with. I'm sure for anybody who regularly reads my blog you will already know about my Nars blush obsession and this is another fantastic addition to it. I'd reccomend this product to anyone that wants to try something different instead of the usual powder blush x

Handmade Goodies - Marshmellows Blends

Ok so Christmas is a time for giving...and I feel sometimes this should include to myself haha! Ok not just sometimes....alot of the time. While im buying lots of festive things for others i cant help but want to treat myself too...you know the feeling after all that tiring walking around with a million bags! And I'm thinking along the lines of nice relaxing treats...bath and shower products. I love all handmade goodies as they are usually such great quality and smell amazing! And these products did not let me down.
I bought the sugar scrub cubes in 'strawberry cheesecake' and a lipbalm in 'white chocolate and honey'.

Sugar scrub cubes - £5.99
You also get a lot for your money.




£3.99 for the lipbalm which is a very generous sized tin.



So for the first 2 days I can't and everyone who sees these can't stop smelling them....and secondly everybody wants to know where you can get hold of these from. Wonder no more my lovelies....I came across these on a lovely blog by Nicoletta which you can find at this link
http://nicolettasbeautyspace.blogspot.com/?m=0
From here you can find the link to her Facebook page or just search Marshmellow Blends...'like' it and shop away!

I must say the service was excellent, prompt and efficient. Also Nicoletta threw in a cookie dough massage bar as a gift for me...thankyou very much!
I'll be reviewing these products very shortly. In the meantime girlies buy buy buy! They make excellent Christmas presents for others....or yourself ;)x

Ask me any beauty question!

I've seen a few blog posts where the writer has answered any beauty questions from the readers. Im up for doing the same thing. So ask me anything...what's in my handbag? What's my favourite mascara? Where do I get my blog inspiration? Ask me below, on twitter @iz222 or Facebook, or even text for those that know me personally and I'll answer in a future post! Thanks girlies xxx

Touché Éclat Review time!

This product needs no introduction! Right my thoughts on the much hyped concealer. I wanted something new to try under my eyes and see if it could cover up my under eye dark circles.



It comes in a pen shape with a soft brush at the end and you click the top and the concealer comes out through the brush.

Swatch



Blended



It gives a good coverage and illuminates the area. Was it thick enough for me? Not really no. However when I used it during the day as a touch up under my eyes and any other area on my face that needed it it worked a treat, it freshened up my whole look.
It was about £23. Would I buy it again??...maybe....I like having it but I certainly wouldn't call it a make up staple.
I'd give this product a 7/10.
I bought this product in shade number 3.
Let me know your opinions on this product.x

Festive nails!

Hi all! Sorry for my few no blog days. I've been away in London....shopping...of course:) Here is a gorgeous nail colour I picked up in Superdrug by a brand called Fashionista. I've never heard of it before...but very impressed. Very nicely packaged, well priced and good quality products. This beautiful colour called Ruby Slippers is perfect for my current festive mood:)
Picture of it on:-




It was only £5!
Of course I'll be blogging all my other bits soon...x

Everybody loves a freebie!

Quite often there are cosmetic freebies on offer, in magazines, with random purchases or things
you can sign up for online. I have to say usually I'm too lazy to bother with any of the above but I was in Boots a few weeks ago and with 2 bottles of diet coke came a free models own lipgloss.


There are 3 colours to collect but these two are by far my favourite. A gorgeous pink and a gold shimmery gloss.
Swatches


Beautiful texture, good staying power and a lovely smell. Quite a strong smell I must add!
Swatches mixed...
Gorgeous colour!




Secondly the advert with liv tyler promising me healthier hair...Yes please!!! Mystery hair care brand. I logged onto boots.com and signed up for my free sachets...here's what arrived


Ok so I've spoilt the mystery but...I'll be trying and reviewing this shampoo for sure. I colour my hair so it needs all the help it can get. Im hoping for lots of moisture without leaving it feeling heavy and gross!Happy Friday x
