New Purchases 18-09-09

Hello Im back with another purchases. I need to stop.

I will be doing reviews soon but I am very busy.

Enjoy :)

Soap and Glory's Fab Pore Minimizer Mask I saw this on Zoella's blog and wanted to try it out cause my pores aren't nice. I really like this product!!

MAC Fuschia glitter. Really cool glitter.

So I caved and got the Notoriety quad. I love this it is beautiful!!

Looks will be coming up soon!!

New Purchases.

I got 2/3 of the postcards which is really cool! I only was expecting one.

My nails are in bits so I decided to get a strengthener. I wanted to try this as I saw this in a video.

Illamasqua eyeshadow - Never. It is lighter in the picture it is like MAC plumage e/s but it is more blue. It's beautiful! It's so pigmented!

I asked for a sample of Reflects Red and she gave me loads! I love it it's gorgeous. Im very tempted to get Fuchsia glitter too :/

I have never been happy with my MAC purples so when I saw this new pigment, Push The Edge I really wanted it. It's a beautiful colour with purple sparkle and I love it!! At 24.50 it's very steep.

Collective Purchases Part Two

This is my collective purchases from London and from today plus a little review of each product. Hope you like :)

Illamasqua Soul Lipgloss. I decided to get the lipgloss from the Sirens collection as I think it will look gorgeous over a nude lip. It's beautiful and peachy with glitter. It's beautiful!

I wanted a midtone brown for the crease and I saw Soba and i thought it was very pretty. I looked at Cork and Wedge but I didn't like the finishes. This was more pigmented. I really like it. Smooth and it will be great for the crease for neutral looks.

MAC Fashion Groupie. I am a little disappointed with this when I swatched it looked a really pretty purple with blue sparkle but i wish I got the blue/teal to be honest. I am actually not very happy with most of my purples from MAC. I think this works well over a black base. It is a lovely colour, a bit sheer.

Maybelleine Ambre Rose lipstick. Gorgeous pink. I saw this on Lollipop26's blog and video and didn't really think twice about it but I was in boots and saw that it had gone down from €10 to €7 so I thought i would give it a go and I love it! It's beautiful. I don't own MAC's Colour Crafted but I don't need to if this is the more wearable version. I love!!

Such a pretty pink. Its smooth and not drying. A great everyday colour.

MAC Lipstick in Russian Red. I love this!! It is so beautiful. I feel like such a lady wearing it. Matte finish and lasts quite long.

Barry m Lipgloss in No.9. It is slightly sheer but its lovely and tastes if cherries.

I decided I wanted to get this ever since I saw it on the Barry M website. It's in No.9. It is a red lipgoss with a ton of glitter. It would look AMAZING! over red lipsitck.

I had enough points on my boots card and saw these were down from 7 euro to €5.20 so I decided to get them. I love them they give volume and length. They are gorgeous!

I haven't tried many Collection 2000 products but I saw this at Gatwick airport and I really loved the colour. The pigmentation was very surprising! I would say 2 coats for a very opaque finish. It is around €3. The only bad this is that it chips easily but If you change your nail colour frequently I don't think you will notice.

I decided I wanted to try the body shop products and I saw this, I like seaweed and thought a mattifying cream would be good to try out. it was 14.25.

I saw this of LetzMakeup's blog about Muji and they have these stackable storage units.

They are quite expensive at 14.50 for this and 10.50 for one drawer.

I really like them and hope I can get more.

Most recent purchase (:

I found The Balm cosmetics in a local pharmacy and I really liked the pigmentation of the eye shadows. They were creamy and easy to blend and had a small but nice range of shadows.

I was in Avoca and in a basket in the back of the shop I found this, initially I thought it was an eye shadow palette but saw that it was a face palette, they are really nice and they are big pans. It was €16.95

Sexy Mama : Beige matte face powder but it can be used as a highlight

Hot Mama : Coral colour with gold sparkle, it is gorgeous, I will be using this as a cheek and eye colour

Bahama Mama: Bronzer really nice matte brown, great to blend.

Gorgeous summer palette, I really want more of their products
