Topshop,Mac,Fake Bake and Charles Worthington...

This Saturday I did a little shopping and stopped by mac to purchase a few must haves and a couple of extras.First of all we have my all time favourite concealer,studio finish in nc30 and a new bottle of studio fix in nc35.I used to wear this all the time and I don`t know why but I keep going through phases of loving and hating it.Anyway its back for now!

I finally got my hands on tan pigment and I am far from dissapointed,its got more pink in than I expected and less,well tan.Its a beautiful bronzey brown shade,right up my alley.I wore it today alone just to see what it was like (I haven`t been anywhere important today)and I really like it.I`m looking forward to trying it with different eyeshadows.One thing I will say though and this is the reason I only own 2 pigments-they are so messy!I am quite clumsy and have managed to spill some already.

Mac`s Costa Chic is not a lipstick I ever saw myself purchasing,I`m very much a pale pink,nude,beige girl and I usually feel like a clown wearing anything bright.However I decided it was about time I expanded my collection and after seeing many bloggers pulling of this lipstick beautifully I decided to purchase.I hope I can pull it off,im unsure at the minute.
Other purchases included Charles Worthingtons mineral hair mask,I`ve heard alot of good reviews and plan on doing a review myself in the next few weeks.I`m a big fan of hair masks but I don`t like to spend a fortune on hair care,my favourite to date is Aussie 3 minute miracle.I also bought some more Ardell lashes(,I loved my first pair and think I have been converted from Eyelure) and I stocked up on fake tan,after Xen Tan dark lotion Fake Bake is my personal favourite.

I purchased alot of clothes yesterday and in the past few weeks as I`m trying to put together a holiday wardrobe at the minute.I`m thinking of doing a 'my week in photo's ' post when I get back so I`ve decided not to blog about them as I`ll be wearing them in holiday pics.I did however buy this cute little bag from Topshop,its tan suede and cost £25,its perfect for holiday as I probably wont want to cart my big handbag around everywhere.

I hope everyone has had a great weekend whatever you were up too!

Mac Viva Glam Gaga 2 , Wonder Woman collection and FOTD...

Ok so as I think I mentioned before I am a huge Gaga fan and have been waiting patiently for the release of her new viva glam collection.I was especialy excited to hear that it featured a nude lipstick and gloss as I am a big lover of nudes and I really wanted to get my hands on them.A few days ago I was browsing the mac website and noticed that along with the wonder woman collection they were now online.I ordered imediately and they arrived yesterday.From the wonderwoman collection I chose emancipation lipgloss and mighty aphrodite.Pictures to come...

(I just want to add how much I adore this promo pic,I would love to know what eye products she is wearing.)

I absolutely LOVE this lipstick,I was a little worried but that it was going to be too brown but it certainly isn`t,its the perfect nude for my skintone.Some nudes can make me look totally concealer lipped so I have to be carefull but this is fantastic -its right in the middle,not too light and not too dark.

Although you can`t really tell I am actually wearing the lipstick alone in the top picture and I paired it with the lipglass in the second.I really like both products although the lipglass is definetly daker than what I`m used too.If you only want to purchase one product I would say go for the lipstick as I think thats what I will get most use out of.

I also wore my new foundation today-Lancome's Teint Miracle.I will probably do a review on this once I`ve had time to give it a better test run but so far I think its going to be a hit.On my eyes I am wearing bare study paint pot with toasted on the lid and smog in the crease,both from the Urban Decay naked palette.I`m wearing Estee Lauder double wear eyeliner and L'oreal volume million mascara.I used Rimmel brow pencil to fill in my brows.For concealer I am wearing studio finish and Ysl touche eclat.

I only picked up two things from the wonder woman collection,mainly because these are the only two things that stood out to me.I have spent some time researching the collection online but I hadn't actually seen anything in person.Luckily I love both my purchases!

Firstly is mighty aphrodite blush which I think is going to be the must have from the collection.I am wearing it in my photographs and as you can tell from the pan it is 3 quaters a light pink with the other quater being a bright more raspberry pink.Swirl them together and you get a subtle yet pretty pink with a tiny hint of peach blush.Im really glad I managed to get this as I most of my blushes are very bright and easy to over do,this however gives a nice,natural looking flush of colour.I like.

Next up is emancipation lipglass,just look at the size of this baby!It is double the size of the regular lipglasses and the apilcator is huge!I haven`t had chance to apply this yet but I have swatched it and it looks beautiful.Its definetly more peach than it appears here but unfortunatly I was unable to get a decent swatch of it. As for the packaging of the collection I personally quite like it!I`ve heard that some people aren`t a fan but to be honest this is a wonder woman collection and the packaging represents that!Red,blue and yellow packaging may not be to some peoples taste and they are not my favourite colours but this is a wonder woman collection and in respect of that I feel mac did a good job!

Overall I am pleased with my purchases so far,will you be purchasing anything from these collections?

Making unwearable lipsticks wearable!

Ok so Viva Glam Gaga may not be the most unwearable lipstick but for me it is actually pretty out there.When it comes to lipstick I am NOT a brights lover,pale to mid tone pinks and nudes are my usual shades of choice.However after ordering the new Viva Glam Gaga this morning I thought I would whip out the original.Here it is paired with sugar rimmed dazzleglass.Nothing ground breaking I know but as you can see sugar rimmed has really toned the brightness down and makes me feel much more comfortable.

Saturday Summary!

Happy Saturday!

Without doubt Saturday is my favourite day of the week and for me it usually means shopping,shopping and more shopping.Today was no different,I visited the Metro centre and tonight has been spent relaxing and mainly watching t.v.I received my favourite self tan 'Xen Tan' in the post this morning so when I`m done with this post I have a little tanning session planned.Im going for a meal to celebrate Valentines day tomorrow evening as I work til 8 weekdays and I also plan to start using my ebay account again,I have so many clothes I don`t wear anymore that are just sitting there when I could be making money.I actually used to ebay alot,infact I ebayed the majority of my wardrobe when I lost a lot of weight in 2009 and I really want to get back to some 'serious' ebaying lol.

Anyway,I thought I would post a few pictures of my purchases today.I back to mac'd for 'Lovelorn' lipstick which was a totally random decision,I was about to leave when I realised I had enough empties to return and I had no idea what lipstick I wanted.When I got to the Mac counter Lovelorn took my fancy,I haven`t worn it yet but it seems like it will make a very wearable,everyday, mid tone pink.I also purchased club and naked lunch eye shadows,naked lunch I have wanted for ages and I have been dying to get my hands on club after I watched pixi2woo's Mila Kunis makeup tutorial.My final makeup purchase was the YSL touche eclat,I have owned this before and loved it but as its so pricey I never repurchased.I finally decided to buy another after having several comments on how tired I look this week.Nice eh!?

(Lovelorn looks more of a hot pink here but I took this at night so the colour is slightly off )

As I mentioned in a previous post Im off on holiday In April so I decided to have a look for some flat sandles I could wear both during the day and at night (I know its still February but I like to be organised lol).I found the white pair in Topshop and the tan diamonte ones in River Island where I also bought some highly boring work clothes that I haven`t bothered to photograph.I love both of these and for once I know I will actually get my use out of something.

Hope everyone has had an equally good Saturday as me and enjoy the rest of the weekend!
