Lip Tattoos???

So today I was having a little nose on the Topshop website when I came across these.

Lip Tattoos...



Have these been about for a while and I've just been in a world of my own?

What do you think? I personally would not use these, I'm all for a bold lip but for me, this is a step too far.

These are currently retailing for £12.

Oooh La La...Sephora Paris Palette

I got this little beauty as part of a giveaway prize from the lovely Louise at Get Lippy...thank you!!

As soon as I saw it I was instantly excited. As you know I only just had my first ever trip to Sephora and to get some more goodies was great. Also, who doesn't love Paris <3

The packaging is really sweet, it's shaped and styled like a Sephora carrier bag with some Parisian landmarks printed on the front, and the signature Sephora stripes on the side.

The two red straps at the top can be pulled to open up the palette.

Inside there are 8 shimmery eyeshadows and one matte. The colours are really wearable and pigmented. My favourites are light shimmery champagne/brown in the top left hand corner and the matte brown in the bottom left hand corner.

There are also two sections that pop out of each side of the palette, one containing 4 pretty lip colours and the other has a shimmery pink blush. Again, the colours are really wearable and the blush is gorgeous.

Since I've had this I've used it almost every day. I think it's a great palette for everyday use. It's really compacts so a great size to pack in your handbag and the mirror inside is really useful for on the go touch ups.

Have any of you guys tried this palette? What are your faves from Sephora?

Lusting after Lustering

Meet my new love.

MAC's Lustering

Sometimes red lipstick can scare me, but not this baby. She makes me feel all fuzzy inside.

It's actually quite a pinky red and as it's a lustre finish it gives a lovely sheen to the lips. It's also really moisturising.

It's a perfect day to night colour, as you can see and is now one of my firm favourites.

Have you tried MAC's Lustering?

I ♥ Sephora

So as I mentioned in my last post, on my recent trip to Krakow I got to lose my Sephora virginity! It was a special moment that I shall look back on fondly....

Enough of that, lets get to the good stuff! What did I get??

All my purchases were Sephora's own brand, since I haven't had the opportunity to try it before and because it was 3 for 2! HA.

Here's my treasure...

First thing I got was this eyeshadow palette in No.13 Pin up show. There were loads of different colours to choose from, but I went for this since I don't really have any pinks, and I really love the sparkly pink/burgundy colour. 

The colours are really versatile and look lovely either on their own or blended in to create a sexy smoky eye. This cost me 75 PLN which equates to roughly £18.

Next, I got this lipstick in the colour 02 Glamour. It's a really gorgeous light pink, and it has a really nice glossy sheen. It's swatched here on the left. It cost 39 PLN or roughly £10, and this was my first freebie :)

The colour on the right is the 3rd item I got, is this lip gloss in the shade The Red Shiny.

What I love most about this is it can be worn as a sheer light red gloss or it can be built up to a very opaque true red which is not at all sticky. This cost me 45 PLN, which is roughly around £11.

The next day I returned to Sephora again (much to the delight of the boy...not!) and picked up 3 nail polishes. They cost 19 PLN each, around £4.50 and I got one of them for free. Score.

L-R

I'm A Rich Girl - A dense sparkly gold

Jealous - Pretty pinky coral

Teeny Bikini - A beautiful minty green.

My favourite of the 3 is Teeny Bikini. It applies like a dream and looked lovely after 2 coats.

What are your Sephora must haves?

Mini Boots Haul

Hey my pretties ♥


I did a quick trip to Boots on Saturday afternoon after a lovely pub lunch with my friendlings :)
I didn't get anything too exciting to be honest with you but I thought I'd share anyways.

I was desperately in need of some new Mascara. Now I dont know if I've mentioned before but I have pretty long lashes so to be honest with you I'm not particularly fussy about my mascara. I like one that has a good sized wand and that doesn't clump. That's all I ask. I picked up one from the 17 collection and it's called Maximum Volume. Now I can't remember exactly but it was priced between £4 and £5 and I'm extremely impressed. It does not clump at all and the wand is a very good size. Woo go me!!

Elf and Mac Haul

Hellooo girls.

So the past two days I've had a lovely package waiting for me when I've arrived from work. They were much anticipated and I couldn't wait to open them. Thought I'd share with you what I recieved:

Firstly, the ELF products:

Quite a collection...

I got 4 brushes....

                                       
From top to bottom - ELF professional total face brush, ELF professional foundation brush, ELF professional eye liner brush and ELF angled foundation brush.
So far I have used the foundation brush and the face brush. The foundation brush is really soft and smooth - no shedding on your face and it just blends your foundation in really well. A winner for me!! The face brush again does not shed and it really soft and fluffy. I have used this for both all over powdering and bronzing and so far I have had no problems. I will review these brushes again later to see how they stand the cleansing test...

I also got a clarifying pressed powder in the shade Honey and a tone correcting concealer also in Honey. I've only swatched the concealer and my first impressions are good. It blends well and leaves no sticky residue. It also smells really nice, which in my opinion, is a bonus.
