A Mac Haul

Monday, 9 June 2014

Hi everyone! It's been about 2 months since I've been writing on this blog! I've been super busy with college work and may was just a mad month! 

Anyway in the last week of May I went up to Manchester to see One Direction live!! (I got right up to the front yay!) And of course I went shopping! 

I went to the mac counter at Selfridges to see what's new and if I wanted some new things. 
I picked up 4 things. 



Left - Right - Mac Strobe Cream, Mac Alluring Aquatic lip pencil in ''What comes naturally'', Mac ''Myth'' lipstick and Mac ''Springsheen'' blush. 


First off we have Mac Strobe Cream which is basically a ''shimmery'' ''glowing'' cream that you put under your foundation for a dewy look. It does give you a nice glowing look to your face which makes you look awake and healthy. But do I wear it as a moisturiser or a primer? I don't know yet as i've only tested it out like a moisturiser. But I do think I need moisturiser under it because I do have dry skin. 



(wow great pictuer there Anna. Well done) 

Mac's Alluring Aquatic collection was beautiful although I only liked 1 product from them. And it's the ''What comes naturally'' lip pencil. I bought it simply because I wanted a nude lip pencil to town down the colour of my natural lips because I have very pigmented lips. I love this although its extremely drying! It does not look good with my dry lips! I need to moisturiser my lips to the extreme to wear this. 



Next we have mac's ''Myth'' lipstick. I saw many people like and rave this lipstick so I decided to buy it. It's a nic nude colour and VERY pigmented. But I don't think I can pull it off. It doesn't really suite me also its so dry on my lips! Maybe if the future I can work it. But as of now. No. Not for me. 


And last we have ''Springsheen'' blush. I wanted a new blush from mac because i've been using the same blush for over a year now and was getting fed up with it. ''Springsheen'' is a lovely pink, coral with little gold dust it it. I LOVE it!!! It's so me and last all day. It gives me enough colour on my face and the little gold dust makes me look alive and healthy on my dull pale skin. 

Overall I am pleased with my purchase. 

If you know any good lip moisturisers comment down below! I need some!

L'oreal Paris - Mega Volume Miss Manga Mascara - REVIEW

Monday, 13 January 2014

Hi everyone! 
I spotted this new mascara the other day and decided to try it out. 



I'm a huge L'oreal paris' mascara fan so i was expecting high hopes on this. 

What L'oreal says - 
''Mega Volume Miss Manga Mascara creates bold volume with L’oreal Paris’ first 360° flexible cone shaped brush that amplifies upper lashes and reveals lower lashes.''

What I say - 
It's ok. Not the best. I find that the flexible cone doesn't grab the lashes well. It did give volume but it separated the lashes which I hate. However it gives your bottom lashes the best length and looks beautiful! It also doesn't smudge at the end of the day which is also a plus.  
Maybe i'll let it dry out a bit and try again next time but for now it wasn't working for me. 

What's your best mascara? Let me know in the comments!
