Hauling: Duty free and MAC

So I was recently away for a few days and when in duty free I decided to splurge! :D

Before then I went to MAC and decided to look at the Surf, Baby! collection. I got talking to the MA next to me and for once she was really nice and pleasant! There was only two of the blushes left and I couldn't resist!


It's a beautiful peachy coral and I think it works really well for my skin tone and my eye and hair colour. The gold over lay is quite chunky gold shimmer but it's still gorgeous with the colour and it's a real pity it wont last. I really like it, it's along the lines of my favourite blush which is Melba.

I swatched this palette ages ago in Blackrock and when I saw it in duty free I really wanted to try it out.

It's got 12 eyeshadows and 4 cream eyeshadows. They are nicely pigmented and really wearable. And I have some nice colours to play with.

This next item was a complete whim, I wanted something new and pretty so I decided to splurge for a lipgloss from YSL


It's No.19 Golden Petal, it's a gorgeous colour! Really love it!

My the Balm bronzer broke when in transit so I needed a new one, I had heard Guerlain bronzers were really good so i saw this and decided to try it and I love it! They are gorgeous!

An in depth review is coming for all of these products! So watch out :)

Wow! It's been a long time!

So I haven't made a post in a very long time I apologize! But I am back! I think I will start with a face of the day and then go on about reviews and hauls and things like that SO lets get started! This is my face today :)


I thought I would play with some of the things I got in duty free on my holiday, I really like them all and a post will be coming soon about them. Finally! :P


I did my eyes a gold smokey eye, I think it's gorgeous personally!
I used the Smashbox Beauty in a Box Eye Palette.
I used No. 7 on the lid
No. 8 in the crease
Used my gel eyeliner on the waterline and smudged under the lashline.
My YSL mascara to give me gorgeous lashes!

I have a video which explains this a bit better when it's upload it I will put it in here.



On my lips I put a small bit of foundation to cancel out my dark lips colour and I applied YSL's Golden Gloss in No. 19 - Golden Petal. It is so beautiful!!

So on my face I used Revlon colourstay for my foundation.
My Guerlain Bronxing Duos in 00 and 02.
I used MAC's My Paradise cheek colour.

Most of these products mentioned will have their own post sooner or later.
I hope you enjoyed!

Thanks so much.

Purchases: MAC Venomous Villains Collection and Swatches

I love the packaging. I love the colours they style.

I really like the faces on the products, many people didn't like the packaging but I really like it!
So what did I get? I got One item from Cruella De-Vil, one from Malificent and three from the Evil Queen.
(L-R) Her Own Devices Beauty powder, Toxic Tale Lipstick, Oh So Fare Beauty Powder, Strange Potion Lipgloss, She Who Dares Eyeshadow Duo.

This is Strange Potion on my very pigmented lips. I am impressed it is so opaque!

This is Toxic Tale I really like this it's such a unique colour I like it on me but Im not brave enough to wear this for everyday.

So top row: Oh So Fare, Her Own Devices, She Who Dares
Bottom: Toxic Tale, Strange Potion.

Illamasqua Art Of Darkness Collection Purchases and Swatches.

So I had to get some products from the new Art Of Darkness collection after seeing the promo images. They are so beautiful and edgy I love them!!

So I had to buy the two new nail polishes they are so gorgeous.

Scarab - A beautiful red with gold reflects it gives a gorgeous copper tone to the nails its absolutely gorgeous!

Veridian - A gorgeous blue green. Stunning sparkle with a top coat.
I love these nail polishes but they chip quite a bit within the first day but I think that is just my nails becuase it happens with every nail polish!

I have never had a pigment from Illamasqua so when I saw this colour I really wanted to try it.
Ore - It's a beautiful bronze copper with a tone of sparkle!! I mean lots of glitter!
I love the colour and the glitter doesn't travel too much which is good! I would definitely recommend!

And of course! I got two of the three liquid metals. I can't rave enough about this product I lOVE them! And they look gorgeous under Ore.

Resolute - I love this it is absolutely stunning! It's a deep red burgundy I love deep reds and this works really well as a lip colour!! I love it and really recommend!

Stoic - A gorgeous teal green really really pretty! Will probably use this most as an eyeliner under the eyes it's so pretty! Again It looks great underneath Ore.

Swatches - Ore, Resolute and Stoic

I will have looks coming up with the liquid metals and maybe nail swatches.

So i hope you enjoyed!

An exciting and probably unnecessary edition to my collection.

Yay! I love neutrals! I think they look get on everyone and this palette would be perfect for just about anyone and that's why I like it. I haven't used it yet but it's great, I have always loved Urban Decay and their eyeshadows and I have had 3 of their palettes and really loved them all!

They are so silky and beautifully pigmented! Such nice colours!


Can't wait to create looks using this!

Kim Kardashian Inspired look

Watch the tutorial here.





Revlon Purchases.

I have wanted to try these Revlon products for ages! So I have finally got them and I really like them!

I have wanted to try Colour stay for ages as it was the closest thing to MACs Studio fix fluid but I never wanted to try studio fix. I really love this foundation and I have only used it for two days and it's perfect for everyday wear! I really like this and Im really glad I spent €17 on this than a €38 MAC one that does the same job!

I have wanted to try one of these for ages!

I love these colours they are great on the go and for everyday use, the cream shade is my favourite it's perfect for a highlight! There seems to be 3 satin/matte shades the cream, toupe and brown. I love them!
I LOVE!!! It's the most gorgeous lip colour over a nude lipstick! It's so easy to wear and it goes with every look I have done recently. I really recommend these as the are not sticky or heavy on the lips.

So Revlon gets a huge thumbs up from me! I love these products and I think it totalled to €34 which is still cheaper than a MAC foundation!

So I hope you enjoyed
