Spain Haul

On my Birthday I went to Spain, and obviously did a bit of shopping so here´s what I bought:

I went a bit brush mad and bought 2 and yes they look similar! I bought the Bobbi Brown Sheer Powder Brush, which I have been using for powder and Loving it and the Nars Yachiyo brush.

As usual I went a bit eyeshadow and lipstick crazy and I´m still regretting not buying a few more bits but there´s always next time! For eyeshadow I bought the Bobbi Brown Long Wear Cream Shadow Stick in Golden Bronze, Bare Minerals Ready Eyeshadow 2.0 in The Top Shelf ( Includes shades Mixologist and Cognac) and Lóreal Color Riche L´Ombre Pure in Matte 107 Macaron Vanille.

As for lips I finally bought the Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Dragon Girl, I had my eye on this one for a while, the Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipsticks in 360 As You Want Victoria and 470 Glam Plum Fulham and finally the Maybelline Baby Lips Electro in Pink Shock ( my fav) and Berry Bomb( not in the photo, it kept photographing blue!)

Finally I bought a nail polish from Max Factor from their Gel Shine range in 45 Gleaming Teal.

I already have a list for next time! I know I have a problem....

Birthday Makeup

Last Tuesday was my birthday, I loved my makeup, so what did I wear? I after trying a few looks I finally decided on this. For my foundation I choose Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk foundation ( I mixed shades 6 and 4), By Terry Touch-Expert Advanced (shade 3) under eye concealer, Nars Laguna Bronzer, Nars Gina Blush. For my eye makeup my favourite part! I used Mac Cork eyeshadow all over the lid, Charlotte Tilbury Eyeshadow Palette in The Dolce Vita ( I used the dark brown shade in the outer V and crease and patted the glitter shade all over the lid) then I used Mac Cork eyeshadow again in the crease. For my feline flick I used my Dior Waterproof Eyeliner in 594 Intense Brown, for mascara I used a new favourite Lóreal Miss Manga Mascara. Finally for the lips I lined my lips with  the Rimmel Exaggerate lip liner in Eastend Snob, then I used Mac Patisserie Lipstick and finally a Dior Gloss in 452 on top. And Voilà the look was complete!!!

July Favourites

I can´t believe tomorrow is already going to be August! Time goes by so fast!

This month for my base I have been loving the Nars Tinted Moisturizer in Alaska, since I have had a few breakouts the Makeup Forever Full Cover concealer in 06 was a must, this stuff is amazing it covers everything! In July most days I skipped blush, Say What?!? I used mainly Nars Laguna Bronzer, but in the days I did use blush I used Nars Gina. 

When it comes to eye makeup I used the Bobbi Brown Sand Palette ( review here) and Mac Teddy eyeliner. For lips I have been obsessed with Mac Patisserie not a very summery colour I know! But when I´m feeling something bright I reached for Mac Lustering or Ysl Gloss Volupté in 206.

Bobbi Brown Sand Eye Palette

Ops I did it Again ( insert Britney Spears singing!) I bought another neutral palette! I know I don´t need it but boy did I want it! But hear me out I really wanted a Bobbi Brown palette I was sad ( well as sad as you can be about makeup!) I missed on some previous palettes that by the time I got to a Bobbi Brown store they were already sold out!!! So when a couple weeks ago I went with my mom to Spain and I saw this I heard the makeup angels sing and I knew right there I had to get it. She is a beaut, full of gorgeous nudes and some lovely shimmer shades, my only complaint is that a shimmery bronze shade is missing, the gold slightly bronze will have to do. There is also a more colourful palette.Since I bought it I haven´t used anything else it´s just so lovely for Summer! This is from the Bobbi Brown Surf & Sand Collection her collection for Summer. So if you wan´t this palette hurry before it sells out, although it has been out for a few weeks.

Ready, Set, Go!!!

The Summer Lip Edit

It seems Summer finally has arrived, even though the other night was pouring rain!

But as I´m typing this the sun is out, so I thought it was the perfect day to write about my favourite lip colours for summer, in case you couldn´t tell there are mainly hot pink!

The Lipsticks:

-A few months ago The Body Shop released new shades from their Colour Crush Collection my favourites are the shades 14( fuchsia hot pink), 15 ( warm hot pink) and 18 ( coral-strawberry), yes I´m terrible at describing colours! They are quite sheer but you can build them up, perfect for Summer

- Mac Flat Out Fabulous ( Hot Pink with a purple undertone) ( It´s a Retro Matte finish so you will need to exfoliate your lips and loads of lip balm before you apply it!)

- Mac Lustering ( Strawberry colour) It´s a luster finish so is a little more sheer and moisturising.

- Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet in 44 La Diva ( LE) ( Bright Pink with purple undertones)

- Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet in 06 Pink Pong ( Fushia Pink) it dries Matte

 The Glosses

- Chanel Glossimer 179 Murmure 

- Ysl  Gloss Volupté 206
