Mac & Chanel Haul

Last week I went to London & Birmingham, whilst there I took full advantage of the shops amd picked up a few bits and bobs.

I ventured into Chanel for the first time in my life in Covent Garden, and to my surprise they were actually really friendly and were joking around with me about my strong a Welsh accent. I ended up picking up a full size of the Le Volume De Channel, I got a sample size of this and fell in love as it made my short lashes (because of getting lash extensions a few months ago 😦 ) bold and the longest I’ve ever seen them, so even though £25 seems a lot for a mascara it was totally worth it!

After spending around half hour drooling over the stuff in Chanel I rushed over to the Mac shop (I only had 20 minutes until my coach came) and asked them what foundation they recommend for dry skin, I’ve tried studio fix fluid before and even though I loved it, my skin has since gotten drier and it tends to stick to my dry spots now. The Mac lady suggested I try the Mineralize Moisture Foundation in Nc15 (I usually get nc20 so another new for me) she quickly tested it against my skin and it matched perfectly! So obviously I had to get! >

I also decided to pick up a Mac Lipstick in Creme Cup whilst in Selfridges in Birmingham after hearing so many good things about it. It’s a huge change for me as I’m usually a bold lip gal but I’m excited to try it out (expect a blogpost on it soon!)

Have you picked up anything new lately?

March Favourites

I’m so sad that March has come to an end, it’s one of my favourite months for many reasons. (mainly because it’s the month of my birthday) During March I picked up a lot of new products most of which are going to appear in this favourites post and there are some old classics which I’ve been loving for a while now.

Naked 2 Palette – Being a lover of the original naked palette, as soon as the second palette was released I had to get it but unfortunately my bank balance wouldn’t allow me. This valentines day however, my boyfriend surprised me with it and I haven’t used anything else since! I love how I can not only use this palette for everyday looks but also classic evening looks too. My favourite colours are foxy, Ydk, tease and busted.

Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation – I absolutely LOVE this foundation and haven’t used anything all month. it gives the perfect dewy everyday look and leaves my skin looking radiant. I’d say the coverage is sheer to medium but could be built up to full with a few layers (which doesn’t cause it to cake may I add!)

Avon Eyeshadow Primer in Light Beige – I was bought this product for my birthday so I haven’t had it for too long but, I can say that it’s absolutely amazing and makes your eyeshadow last long over 24hrs! The colour isn’t too different from my natural skin tone and it glides on like a moose and makes putting your eyeshadow on a breeze! Having owned the urban decay eyeshadow primer I actually can’t see much of a difference between the two and would go as far as saying that I actually prefer the Avon one!

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water – I recently featured this product in my skincare favourites because it’s so amazing! It’s so quick and easy to use and being the lazy person I am, I love that you don’t have to wash it off or anything. It’s extremely refreshing and leaves your skin feeling alive and refreshed. I used this on my boyfriends acne prone skin a few days ago and it made his face look instantly clearer! ( he even said he was going to get some)

Sleek Contour Kit – My last favourite this month is the sleek contour kit in light, the colour is a great grey toned brown which works brilliantly for contouring and doesn’t make you look muddy. The highlighter brightens up your complexion and is great for every day too. I not only love this for contouring and highlighting but for also using on my eyes for when I’m having a lazy make up day.
