Quick Little Superdrug Haul.

Hey!

So in the last couple of weeks I picked a couple of things up that I'd been dying to try from Superdrug - all things which I will do reviews on once I've used them a bunch and know my thoughts on them!

So, I got the Barry M Fine Glitter Dust in Gold Iridescent, it was £4.59 and I thought this would be perfect for the inner corners, to use as a highlight (because it is very fine, barely feels like glitter) and for cut creases and such. It also looked like a very cheap alternative to MAC's Reflect Gold glitter! I'll let you all know how I get on with this when I get to using it properly.

Next up was the MUA Luxe Velvet Lip Lacquer in the shade Tranquility, for £3. When I swatched this in store it looked like a much more matte version of one of my MAC lipsticks (one which I wish was matte as well) so I decided to pick it up too! Again I'll let you all know how I get on with this. It's a gorgeous colour though!

Lastly are the MUA Undress Your Skin Shimmer Highlighters in Iridescent Gold and Pink Shimmer, both £3. Originally, I just swatched these and decided that I didn't need yet another highlighter... So I carried on my way around Superdrug and swatched things but kept going back and looking at these and looking at the swatches and just completely falling in love! They ended up being in my hands before I knew it - and luckily too, because they were the last ones! 

I hope you enjoyed this little mini haul, will be posting my reviews as soon as I get to know my thoughts and all these products! :)

Jeffree Star Liquid Lipstick Haul/Review.

Hey lovelies!

I'm coming at you with a cute little haul from Jeffree Star Cosmetics!

I ordered Androgyny and Scorpio and it's safe to say I'm absolutely in love with both. The formula is just as amazing as Redrum and I can't wait to get every single colour, I genuinely really love this lipstick and brand so far, he's done so amazing and I'm quickly becoming a Jeffree Star Cosmetic ride or die kinda girl. I think these lipsticks are my ride or die defo, I pick them up over my MAC and Illamasqua ones anyday.

These are the swatches on my arm, on the left is Scorpio which is coming off a lot more purple than it actually is - it's more of a grey toned sort of purple and it's gorgeous. Androgyny is a very pretty nudey purpley/pink/mauve and it's stunning too!

Overall I highly recommend these lipsticks - I've also tried on my bestfriend's Unicorn Blood lipstick and it's so gorgeous too, I love it!! Honestly just buy one and try them, there are no complaints!

Makeup Geek Mini-Haul!

Hey lovelies!

I am coming at you with a mini haul from Beauty Bay in the form of four gorgeous Makeup Geek eyeshadows!

As some of you may know from this post here where I do a full review on more of the Makeup Geek eyeshadows, I love them! For the price and the intense pigmentation, they truly are amazing!

I'll start this off with the only matte one I got!

This is Cocoa Bear - I'm sure if you watch Jaclyn Hill or Rosi Jay Pierce you'll have heard them talk about this, it's a gorgeous warm brown transition and outer-v colour. I love it. Very happy I picked this up, prefer it to Peach Smoothie actually!

Next up is a foiled eyeshadow formula.

This is Grandstand. It's an absolutely gorgeous shimmery beautiful gold colour. It's definitely more of a bronzey-gold but it's gorgeous all over the lid. Definitely worth picking up!

Next two are the duo-chrome formula.

Top one is Steampunk and the bottom one is Blacklight. Steampunk is quite browny/green in colour, kind of like if you see oil on the road and it flashes lots of different sort of colours. It's really different and pretty. Blacklight is lilac/blue/pink. It's also gorgeous, it's quite interesting as in inner corner highlight actually. 

As always these eyeshadows blend like an absolute dream and they are well worth buying. 

I hope you enjoyed this post, thank you for reading!

MAC Haul.

Just decided Id do a little post on a MAC haul, it isn't much but figured why not! It's different :)

Sorry about the crappy quality pictures/lighting, I don't have much better at the moment! 

I got the lipstick in Velvet Teddy. It's sold out on the MAC website for now though but don't worry, it always goes back into stock. There's been a lot of hype around this lipstick, I'll see how I feel about it when I try it later.

I also got pigments in Naked - I got the smaller size in case I didn't like it and ended up spending £17 for something huge (as this teensy one is going to last me forever as it is) and I've swatched it on the back of my hand and so glad I did get the smaller size because all I can say about it so far is 'meh'. I could definitely take or leave this one so far.

Next I got the pigment in Vanilla - which im kicking myself for not just forgetting about the other pigment and getting the full size of this. It's PERFECT. So excited to use this!!

Short and sweet little post but I figured at least it's something to put on here for the moment :) hope you enjoyed! x x x x d

Illamasqua Winter Sale Haul.

So, Illamasqua (aka the love of my life) had a winter sale (aka my dream) where they were selling some of their products for 50% off, some for 60% off and some for 70% off. With the last of my Christmas money, I decided to treat myself to some perfect lip products - for those of you who don't know or may not have tried them, Illamasqua lipsticks are the best. Maybe on par with MAC.

So in this little post I thought I'd just show you guys what I got and show just how good these products are! I'm going to do a swatch on my hand plus show you what they look like on my lips as if you have the same skin tone as me or similar skin tone to me you'll see if you would like them for yourself! :)

The lipstick I got was the colour 'Resist' which Illamasqua describe on their website as a 'deep rose pink' and I agree with that. It's also a matte finish which sometimes I don't always want so I pair it with one of their Sheer Lipglosses in the colour 'Divine' which Illamasqua describe on their website as a 'deep fuschia pink' and is beautiful both on it's own and paired with Resist. This is now my number one lip combo for a more subtle, natural lip as if you know me personally you'll know I'm not a massive 'nude lip' girl! You also may have seen me mention this in my last post and if you haven't, check it out here :) Lastly I got one of their Intense lipglosses in the shade 'Fierce' which is described as a 'bright blue purple' and oh my god, this is INTENSE. I love it. And I think I might pair it with ESP by Illamasqua if I'm feeling more of a glossy lip as ESP is also a matte finish :) 

This is Resist on the lips on it's own. As you can see this is such a beautiful colour. I love it and if you have a similar skin tone to me you will too. This is sold on the website for £18.50 but in the sale I got it for £9.25. Bargain, right? 

This is Resist with Divine on top. Such a beautiful combo :)

This is Divine on it's own. This is sold on the website for £16.50 and I got it in the sale for £6.60.

This is Fierce on it's own, again it's on the website for £16.50 and I got it for £6.60 :) I am overall very very happy with my Illamasqua purchases (as always) and I am totally in love with them! 

The other thing I LOVE about Illamasqua is that they normally have photos of 'Moving swatches' - ie. people putting the product on, but they always do people with three different skin tones to show you how it may look on you. SO helpful as you may think you're gonna love a product when you see it on the website and then when you get it delivered it isn't quite what you thought it was! So no moneys wasted :)

Anyway I hope you enjoyed this post!
