Beauty Haul


I haven't done a written beauty haul in forever and I thought is was about time I did! This is accumulation of the bits I have bought since about Mid december till now so yeh, get a cup of tea and a snack, you may need it to get through this! One thing I did want to say is that some of these will have more in depth reviews coming up on here over the next couple weeks, others may not. If there is something you want to see please do let me know! 

On with the haul....





Revlon Quick Dry Case Coat- Love this! dries really quick (like the name might suggest!) By the time you've done your second hand, the first is dry. It's also helped strengthen my nails. They haven't been breaking as much 
Maybelline Forever Strong Pro In 130- A really dusty pink that goes with everything. Everyone needs this kind of colour in their collection and I love the brush and formulation of the Maybelline Varnishes. The brush is rounded and wider so it doesn't take as many strokes to cover the whole nail. This varnish took two coats to become fully Opaque and dried quickly. 
Rimmel Lasting Finish in 700 Block Your Green- A lovely green that seems to look more teal in the photos but its a darker green with a slight glitter sheen to it (You can't see the glitter unless you look really close) again like the brush but found got wear on  the tips after a day. 
Rimmel Precious Stones in 001 Diamond Dust- I love the colour of this and it does go opaque after a couple coats but my god is this a bitch to get off! 


Rimmel Apocalips in Stellar and Celestial- I have already done a post on these babies which you can read here
MAC Brick-O-La Amplified Lipstick- I had seen a couple of bloggers mention this and it instanly caught my eye. It's a really browny pink, the name says it all it is a brick colour and I just love this. Perfect for the days were you want a bit of colour but nothing too drastic and I absolutely love the Amplified finish, soft and pigmented. 




MAC Eyeshadows- I needed a new brow shade as the one I was using was in a huge palette and it was just a pain in the arse so I got Charcoal brown, which is a matte shade to fill in my brows with. Just defines them without making them too harsh. Cranberry is one that seems to be very popular at the moment. It's a frost finish so it's got a lovely sheen to it. Haven't had a chance to play around with this yet but looking forward to it! and lastly All That Glitters, which has now completed my quad and a perfect addition. This is the most gorgeous rose gold shade and I imagine would be perfect for any skin tone! 


3 more hyped products that I have only just got round to getting!
Rimmel Scandaleyes in Nude- I already had one on the go hence waiting to get this. It's a nice product and I will be doing a quick review after I have used it for a while. 
Benefit They're Real- I used this yesterday but applied it in such a rush I'm not counting it, although taking it off last night was a bit of a bitch. I only bough a little one as I'm so fussy with mascaras it seemed silly to buy a big one incase I didn't like it. We shall see...
MUA Professional Eyes Primer- I have so much bad luck with eye shadows creasing so just another product to see if I can actually get my eyeshadows to last all day! will report back on this! 

We're nearly at the end I promise.. 


Rimmel Match Pefection Light Reflecting Radiance Foundation- Long enough name?! This is my new go- to foundation. Totally in love! Plus it's light enough YAY! They actually do this in a porcelain shade.  I will be doing a full review of this soon!

Avene Extremely Rich Compensating Cream- I bought this just before christmas and my God this has saved my skin. If you have dry skin, buy this bad boy! You will never look back. Again I will probably  do a more in depth review of this soon.



Boots Botanics Hot Cloth Cleansing Balm- I've heard mixed reviews about this. I personally thought it was ok and don't mind the residue it leaves but that is all personal choice. 

Lush Let The Good Times Roll Cleanser- This cleanser has Popped corn oil, polenta, maize flour and cinnamon. It's a really gentle cleanser/ exfoliator and great for everyday use, it leaves my skin feeling so soft and fresh. 

Origins Out of Trouble- I bought this the other day with Sarah who runs new modern damsel. She took me to the Origins counter and I knew i wasn't leaving without buying anything. I did want to buy the Make A Difference + moisturiser but decided not to but bought this instead. I haven't had a chance to use it yet but will be soon!

Lastly two random bits but they were to cute not to include!

Dolly Bow Bow Flower Crown- I have wanted one of these for so long and saw this one and fell in love. I love the colour and the fact that the flowers aren't to big. I might try and do a make up look to fit in with the headband, we shall see! 


Lastly my Cath Kidstion Pocket Diary! I have been trying to find a cute diary for so long and this just fits the bill. Its small enough to pop into my bag but big enough that I can fit everything in. 



So there you have it! I think writing a make up haul is better as it means you can actually see the products and colour better than on a video, let me know what you think? All the products are link just click the bold and that will take you through to where you can buy them.

Mallzee.com| Something Rather Exciting!


Picture taken from www.Mallzee.com
Have you ever come across a website that just completely changed the way you shop? Well this is how I felt when I found out about Mallzee. I am so excited for this website to launch later this year.

You basically create your own shopping mall on the web. There are currently over 200+ brands that have signed up to be a part of Mallzee- that is a lot of shopping! With these 200+ shops you go through them, selecting your favourites and create your very own mall, so when you sign on all your favourites are right there. I love things that I know I can be relatively quick with and with these I know I'll be able to just log on and find my favourites quickly.
To give you an idea of the bands that have been signed up, here are a few; Urban Outfitters, New Look, Feel Unique and St. Tropez. Now I don't know about you but the fact that Feel Unique is on that list makes me VERY excited!!

One of the best things about Mallzee is the fact that as you shop you can earn money. If you shop, or even if any of your friends shop via your 'mall', you earn money to spend on Mallzee or you can donate it to charity.  I know a lot of people will just spend on more items but I'd like to think a lot of people will also donate to charity. I think this is just such a lovely touch! and one that I hope a lot of people will use.

Mallzee wanted to make online shopping a social experience not something you sit at do at home alone. They have added features were you can actually put out polls on items to get your friends opinions before you commit to buying. It's like going shopping with friends but from the comfort of your own bed!

If you sign up for their news letter and give them a little tweet, you will be entered into a prize draw to win £100/$155 shopping spree on Mallzee!

To sign up and have a look at their blog Just click on the link below! I hope you are as excited as me!



*I was contacted by Mallzee to talk about their site but I am not being compensated for this post and all views are my own.

Spending money I don't have.

I cannot apologise enough for my absence. Things here have been a little crazy and I just haven't had a moment to spare. Being so busy has meant I have become run down and I am now suffering with an almighty cold. So I'm taking the opportunity to do some catching up!

I'm going on holiday to Egypt  in just over a week and so I took the opportunity to do a bit of shopping. My lovely muma very kindly treated me to most of the bits I got. I bought some bits from Boots, Lush and Topshop but she was lovely and got me everything else!


I seem to of subconsciously gone for spots! I absolutely adore my purple dress from Dorothy Perkins. They had some lovely colours but decided to go for purple as its a colour that I don't really have in my wardrobe. 

Now that I have everything for my holiday I'm getting rather excited just got to try and finish all my uni work before I go. Which so far isn't going very well. woops!

Are you going on holiday this summer?

           Love

                Miss S
