Combined Haul..x

I was looking around my laptop and i realised that i hadn't uploaded all my haul pictures.
These are from March and April.


101 and 100 False Light Natural Light


129 False Light

Barry M Lip Paints in 100 (Baby Pink),101 (Marshmellow) and 129 (Palest Lavender)
I had always looked at these in Superdrug but always passed on them as, because they're so cheap, i though they would be really low quality. I had my student discount so tried 129 first and i was so supprised by how creamy it was so i tried two more. The 100 is beautiful with gloss but too dry on its own and the 101 is really good for a strong nude lip with clear gloss.



I used to do a facemask once a week religiously but i stopped and now i'm getting back into it again. The chocolate is irresistable. I also picked up dark chocolate and peppermint lip butter at the counter and now wish i hadn't. It's good for moisturising but the smell and taste is sooo overpowering.



I needed a new MAC MSF Natural (in medium) and i had some spare money so decided to go ahead and get one.


I love these No7 eye brushes. They're so cheap and Boots are always giving out vouchers so that they only end up costing about 60p. Whenever they have those vouchers i stock up. Good quality brushes for 60p!

Just A Little Haul For You...x

Refined MSF - £17.13 from MAC


So when i first found out about MAC's Sugarsweet collection, which was a while ago, i was so excited and made a huge list of what i was gonna get but when i saw the products in person, none of them seemed that special. I had originally planned to get both MSFs as they looked really different but when i swatched them in the store they looked almost identical and so i decided on Refined instead of Perfect Topping as it's warmer on my skintone. It's alot less shimmery than the other MSFs i have (New Vegas,Blonde and Brunette) and the particles are smaller and so give a nice warm glow without being too OTT. It's pure highlighter but it's probably my favourite one.
Chloe 50ml Perfume - Price ranges from size of bottle (£35 to around £65)
I had been wanting this one for a while, everytime i smell it on someone i just melt. The bottle is just the cutest little thing ever but yet is so sophisticated, exactly like the fragrance itself. This has now become my staple scent and i wear it in the day, everyday.

Tag..x

1) What were the reasons behind you starting up your own blog? I'd been following people's blogs and youtube channels for a while so i decided to have a go.
2) Who (or what) inspires you in the blogging world? People's suggestions for products.
3) Who (or what) inspires you in the non-blogging world (aka reality!)? Imagery that i see everywhere and the makeup i see people wear when i'm out and about.
4) What is your ONE 'must-have', 'holy grail', 'can't-live'without-it' item (can be non-beauty related)? Perfume, it instantly lifts my mood, and also straighteners.
5) What is your favourite feature and how do you accentuate it? My eyes, i have naturally long eyelashes anyways so i just play on that.
6) What is your ultimate favourite brand (can be make up, fashion, gadget etc!)? MAC and French Connection
7) What (or who) gives you instant feel good factor? Sunny days cos we don't get many in England.
8) Can you give your avid readers one top tip (can be non-beauty related)? If you don't feel confident in what you're wearing or the makeup you have on then it'll show and you're better just changing it to something more 'you'
9) If you were stranded on a desert island, would you rather go without make-up, music, love or clothes? Make-up cos there's no mirror to put it on :)
10) Can you give us one totally random fact? I'm watching the 40 year old virgin lol :)

LUSH Haul..x

Okay so i used to spend alot of money on LUSH products, and i mean ALOT.

When i got into makeup i kinda forgot about LUSH for a while as there isn't really one near me and i'm skint all the time cos of MAC collections lol.

But lately everyone has been doing hauls and i had some spare cash so decided to go all the way to Kingston on the bus for some LUSH lovin' :)

The girl in there was so helpful without being pressurising and i had a really nice brouse and got myself some goodies so here's what i got....

Photobucket
'Pop In The Bath' Bubble Bar
Yes i know i used some already but i totally forgot to take pics before i used it lol.
They had some different colour combinations in the store but i decided to go for barbie pink with a green flower. The colours really drew me to this product as it's so pretty and it smells soooo good! The smell is sorta indescribable but i can smell some lavender in there somewhere.
I used a third of this bar and i had lodes of bubbles in my bath that lasted a 20 minute soak so in my eyes it's pretty good value for money at £2.50.

Photobucket
'Creamy Candy' Bubble Bar
I have actually used this bar a couple of times before and i really liked it so decided to go for it again.
It's soo pretty and smells great but again i can't find a way of describing the smell exactly.
The girl in the store said that it's good for dry skin as it has lumps of shea butter moulded into it for extra moisture so i'm excited to try this one out. This bar is a little smaller than the other one but is also a little cheaper at £2.20.

Photobucket
'The Comforter' Bubble Bar
I haven't actually used this one before but my mum always used to get it from LUSH and it always smelled so good.
The girl in the store was raving about this one and i'm hoping that it was for good reason.
It's the largest bubble bar that LUSH make but also one of the most expensive, i'd say it's about twice the size of a normal bubble bar and it worked out at £3.87 which i didn't think was too bad as this bar will easily last me 5 soaks.
It's my fave smelling of all the products i got cos it's really strong, just like blackberries but my comparison would be that it smells exactly like black and red gums, you know the sweets?
Heaven!!!!!

Photobucket
'Up You Get' Emotibomb
These as far as i know are a recent addition to LUSH as when i was really into LUSH i never saw them so i was excited to try one out.
Alot of people have been getting 'Sex in the shower' but the citrus smell of this one was irresistable! I can't wait to try this one out. It was £1.91 but i might try and split it into two so that i get my money's worth.

Photobucket
'Ickle Baby Devil' and 'Ickle Baby Angel' Bath Bombs
Okay so i have to admit that bath bombs aren't my fave product from LUSH, i much prefer bubble bars.
Bombs are okay while they fizz but after that you're just left with coloured bath water.
I got these as they were alot cheaper than the normal, full size bath bombs which, might i add, are impossible to split in half so you can only use it in one bath.
They both smell strongly of lavender and citrus. The angel is like a blueish purple and the devil is pink and they were £1.32 each.

Photobucket
'You've Been Mangoed' Bath Melt
The lovely, lovely assistant also gave me a sample of this which turned out to be half a bar :)
She was explaining to me what they did and what they had in them but i told her they were a bit expensive and i didn't want to splash out unless i knew i liked them so she cut me a huge sample...thanks so much :)
It's £2.69 for a really small bar but it smells amazing and if it's good i'm gonna go back a purchase it so yay for samples lol.
I know not the hugest haul in the world but i spent £13.12 which i think is quite alot on bath products.
Comments always welcome :)
