Purchases 29-12-09

Today was probably the worst day for shopping as it lashed rain all day but I bought some really good stuff. I was thinking about getting a Tiffany alphabet pendant as my grandparents gave me some money so hopefully I will have it two weeks from now. Very excited.

But on to today!

This box was 22.50 It's a really sweet candy box and I love it!

Yummy yummy yummy: Gorgeous scent honey and strawberry. I have to get a bigger bottle.
Snow Fairy: I don't know about this it reminds me of my childhood medicine but I do get the candy scent.
Candy Cane: Smells exactly like Rockstar so good!!
Angel Delight: A bit of a watery scent, it's not that great.
Fairy Tail: Great scrub amazing scent! I am so sad its limited edition.

So if you spend 30 euro you get a free box so my sister and I shared this one.
So I got...

Cinders: Mulled wine fragrance, its sort of musky with a sweetness
Sumo Santa: So yummy! Really light floral scent
Snowcake: It's really weird, its very almondy it's nice but it's very unusual.
I bought this dress today and it was 58. It is really expensive but it is amazing on it a pencil skirt and it's chiffon and the best bit is it has pockets!
I love the zip at the back.
It was 39.99 and I saw today that it was 44.99 yus! I save!
It's amazing it has great new features and multiplayer is so much fun!

Ok this is the last one! I promise!!

I was using the Notoriety Quad and i came up with this soft autumnal look.





Blush Review.

MAC Dame Blush.
Initially I really liked this blush its a gorgeous colour, pink with pink and blue sparkle.
But it's a woeful blush. Its streaky and had bad pigmentation, I literally had to scrub the blush for the swatch below.
Illamasqua Katie Blush
Love this blush its super pigmented and almost a creamy matte texture.
It gives you a really cute pink cheek like you have been pinched.

Illamasqua Panic Blush
Another one thats amazing! You need a very light hand if you are my skin tone.
It gives you a berry coloured cheek, thats really in for winter.

(L toR) Panic, Katie, Dame

In short: Illamasqua, hell yes they are gorgeous!!
MAC..not so much.

Hope you found this helpful :D

Lush Review.

I love Lush, my sister got me hooked years ago I have gone through quite a lot of stuff.
My favorite are the soaps and massage bars, I like sugary sweet smells.

So I saw this Fairy Tail Sugar Scrub for €3.50!
I thought this was brilliant as its not small so it's good value.

Its limited edition for christmas but the other sugar scrubs are permanent.

Its a great scrub, if you don't like abrasive you will not like this. I love this, its very sugary scent with great exfoliating ability. Leaves the skin amazingly soft I would repurchase these again and again. You can get about 3/4 showers out of it if you break bits off.

In short, brilliant product, great value and I'd definitely buy again!

MAC Style Black : Baby Goth Girl

I first saw this on TiffanyD's blog and I really wanted it. I have wanted a good black nail polish for a while now so when I saw this I was very excited, I love purple and burgundy and gold.

In normal light it looks like a very very very dark burgundy black and then it moves into light and it goes to purple and it has quite big flecks of gold. I love it! I wore it without a base coat or topcoat and I wasn't that gone on in and this morning I tried with both and it looks gorgeous!!

It was €12.50 and its 10ml

Review : Notoriety Quad

I was mulling over the three quads and I really couldn't decide, I kept swatching and I really liked this one. It has very neutral colours but they are really nice finishes. Im sure you could find dupes of these but I really liked the colours.

(L-R) Skintone 1 (L) and Rich and Earthy (VP).
Skintone 2 (F) and Notoriety (V).

This is Skintone 2 which is a gorgeous light gold. Its so beautiful and Notoriety in the crease which I love as it is a matte brown with red, gold, green and blue sparkle. I adore this colour!!! So beautiful!
(L-R) Brash, Rich and Earthy, All that Glitters
I thought Rich and Earthy was too similar to All that Glitters, and it does but it is more orange/coppery than All that Glitters. Really nice colour, can't wait to play with it.
Top - Skintone 1
Bottom - Notoriety

Skintone 1 is a lot like a pink based Polyester Bride from Urban Decay
Very glittery but I like it for some reason. It would be good with a matte look although I like a matte highlight I have a look in mind that I want to try out.

I love this quad, simple colours but they are gorgeous. At 47.50 it is expensive so choose wisely. I am really happy with it!
