ooh, you're making me blush..

In the hope that I receive lots of shiny money at Christmas this year I have already begun to plan what I'm going to buy :). Maybe it's a bit hopeful but never mind ;).

I am lusting after a x6 pro blush palette from MAC and have been spending my spare time perusing swatches online and choosing the six shades that I'm going to fill the palette with :).

and here they are:

Frankly Scarlet - Matte

A goooorge bright rosy red and it's matte which i lurr-uh-veee

Coygirl - Sheertone

A really caaute light rose - perfect for pretending to be barbie.

Sunbasque - Sheertone Shimmer

A gorgeous shimmery plum with a pearly sheen.

Pinch Me - Sheertone

A dirty, dusky coral with a lovely rosy background tone.

Well Dressed - Satin

A much talked about pretty pink - hopefully it'll live up to expectations.

Pink Swoon - Sheertone

A really pretty pure baby pink.

So that's the six gorgeous shades - what do you think of my choices?

Hope you're all having a lovely weekend :)

much love from

a tour of my room :)

hello lovelies!

So, recently I tidied and re-arranged my room and made it much more prettified than it was before :) and I thought I would show people on here.

So, here we go...

My bed and my lovely shoes picture.

The Bed is from Ikea and so is the canvas of the shoes.

My nail bar :) The piece of paper is swatches of all of them - hehe I was very bored when I made this! All my Barry M ones at the front ♥

My patriotic chair.

Union jack cushion is from Store 21 and was £6! I really recommend Store 21 for homewares, you can find some really great bargains.

Spotty pink cushion is from Next, I think it was about £12 or £15.

Marilyn Monroe poster :) (HMV - £3.99)

Shoesies canvas :)

My makeup brush collection - I put all of them into a pretty jam jar and stuck a cute pink bow on it :) and put some gorgeous candles out as well. And the teddy's name is Eddie :)

My 'most-worn' jewellery and perfume. Rings on the hand, studs in the little box and dangly earrings in the cupcake mug. The perfume is 'Love ETC' by The Body Shop and I ♥ it, I picked it up for about £7 at a town fayre on a discount stall (yay) but I think it's usually £12, not sure.

My mirror and my necklaces. I stuck some pretty satin hearts on the mirror that I got for valentines day a few years ago, hehe.

My storage. My beauty stuff, hair stuff and makeup in the draws. My 'occasional' jewellery in the blue and silver box and my school books in the basket :)

My 'motif' wall ♥

Just things I liked and were nostalgic for me, I stuck on the wall, pictures, magazine clippings, pics of fit guys haha, messages, song lyrics etc.

The top draw of my white drawers (a couple of pictures before). This is my face bases, blushes and bronzers and my moisturisers and wipes. Basically just face essentials :)

Second draw. Eyes and lips :)

My EVERYTHING chair, makeup chair, hair chair, beautifying chair, just general 'sitting on' chair etc, lol. :)

I thought this was a pretty funky way of using the lid of my perfume 'Marc Jacob's Daisy' - which is my name yay! I finished the product but didnt want to get rid of the lid so I decided I would stick on one of my bed knobs. Love it ♥

So, that's the end of my room tour - I hope you enjoyed reading if you got this far and please follow if you haven't already done so.

Bye m'lovies xoxo

haul: Boots & Superdrug

hey beautiful people :)

I went shopping today with a couple of mates and went absolutely crazy :) I got loads!

I had a 'free makeup lesson' at the Benefit counter in Boots and had a makeover - which was so fun :) I would really recommend booking one, they're free and the products really are gorgeous, I couldn't buy this (as it was too expensive), but the girl used 'You Rebel Lite - tinted moisturiser' on me and it was amazing - I am definitely lusting after that ;)

So yeah, let's get on with the haul...

all the products :)

Stuff from 17 at Boots.

At my makeup lesson at Benefit the girl gave me a really pretty purple eye - so since I can't really afford Benefit I went to 17 and tried to recreate the look for less money ;)

-x2 eyeshadows in Regal (the navy blue) and Punky Purple - £3.49 each

At the moment they have an offer where if you spend more than £6 you get a free Bronzing Summer Glow kit which includes -

-1x Mirror Shine lipstick in Sugar Daddy

-2x Eyeshadows in Ivory Coast and Statuesque

-1x Instant glow bronzing powder in medium

-1x Bronzing brush & 1x eye applicator

I never really use these free gift things but I thought this was quite generous for only spending 6 pounds - a nice thing to have in the draw :)

-beautyuk eye shadow and eye liner collection 1

This is their new palette and looks quite cool, I was going for bright colours and this looked perfect :) - £3.99

I had two of the £5 off vounchers for No.7 and Ruby and Mille cosmetics so went to look :)

I have always liked the look of their eyebrow pencils and needed a base for eyeshadow so these two things were perfect :D

I bought

-Beautiful brows pencil in 10 brown/black - RRP £7.25, I paid £2.25 :)

-Stay Perfect Smoothing and Brightening eye base - RRP £7.50, I paid £2.50 :)

Stuff from 2true at Superdrug.

They always have a 3 things for £5 offer here so I got

-True Colour Blusher in Shade No. 3 (I plan to use this as a bronzer)

-Eyeshadow Dazzler in No. 9 (you can't really see this - it's a lovely bright, royal-type blue)

-Gloss-wear Lipstick in Shade 7

Stuff from Natural Collection at Boots.

I have a lot of neutral eyeshadows and not many pinks so I went for these to be different :)

They also always have a 3 products for £5 offer

-Duo Eyeshadow in Frost Shimmer/Aqua Shimmer

-x2 Single Eyeshadows in Candy Floss (the brighter one) and Soft Pink

AAAH I'm so excited about this ♥ it's absolutely gorgeous!

When I had my makeover the girl used this on me and I instantly fell in love with it :) the colour is so so pretty and ahh, it's just fab ;D

-Coralista Blush - £23.50

Luckily, I didn't have to fork out the money for this - I had a £25 boots card for my birthday so I could get this and I'm so glad I did! CAN'T WAIT TO USE IT ♥

well, that's the end of this haul.

I'm going to Primark tomorrow with my Mum and I will just tell you what I plan to buy so I don't have to do another haul :) I will be getting the foundation/concealer brush and the Kabuki brush so I might do a review of them soon!

But that's all for now :D

Hope you enjoy this post and happy thursday!

lotsa love xoxo

haul: Accessorize, New Look, MAC, Barry M

hello beautiful bloggers :)

I went shopping with my gorgeous sister today and I thought I would show you what I got ♥

Purse: Accessorize - £12. I'm really into union jacks and stuff at the moment so ♥ this! :)

Bobbie pin: New Look - £1. This was in the sale and is so cute :)

Lipstick: MAC - £12.50. I've wanted a MAC lipstick for a while now and I was going to get a normal one but this Lady Gaga one really caught my eye :) the colour is gorgeous!

Nail Paint: Barry M - £2.95. This is 'limited edition' and has a gold lid - pretty funkadelic :) and is a pretty pinky fuchsia colour. Can't really go wrong with Barry M!

this picture is reeeally bad quality :/ but this is a swatch of the lippie - it's a lovely bright poppy pink and the application is so smooth and creamy :) and very wearable actually :D

(for some reason I can't get rid of the words being underlined) :(

So there it is, my lovely haul!

Has anyone else bought any of these products recently and loved them like me?

lotsa love ♥ xoxo

haul: ELF

As promised here is my haul from the website eyeslipsface.com. I ordered my stuff yesterday and was expecting the things to come much later this week, but they arrived the next day! Which has made me love ELF even more :)

Hope you enjoy this post!

here they are! :)

Mineral foundation in 'light (for light skin and golden undertones)' - £3.50

I've never used or had a powder foundation before, usually sticking to liquid ones, dream matte mousse or no foundation at all! But I really like the lightness and sheer coverage of this foundation :) It's a good colour for my skin tone and also claims to work with your natural skin pH balance and match your skin - which is pretty funky :) The only thing I would say is I find it a but tricky to shake out of the pot, so not great packaging. But overall a nice (cheap) product ;)

Complexion perfection - £3.50

This product is amazing! Probably my favourite of the lot :)

The texture is weightless and makes your skin look so light and flawless and gives a nice healthy and beautiful glow :) The balance of minerals claim to matte skin, neutralise redness and brighten - and this product definitely does this :D I have tried lots of pressed powders before and this is the best! I would recommend a lot (especially at that price!). A must buy.

Studio blush in 'tickled pink' - £3.50

I really like this blush. I have heard a lot of good things about the ELF blushes and I wasn't disappointed :) The colour is gorgeous and has a lovely light shimmer and it is really pigmented and blends really evenly on the skin :) the only thing I would say is it's tiny! haha

E.L.F tools, eye widener -£1.50

This products claims to create a wider and bigger looking eye when applied to the waterline. Considering this product is very cheap I wasn't expecting that much and I wasn't bowled over with it's quality - the white colour is quite faint on the waterline however it looks better around the inside of the eye and as a highlighter on the brow bone :) It does come with a built in sharpener though! Every cloud has a silver lining :)

Total face brush - £1.50

I really wanted the powder brush from the studio line but it was 'coming soon' so I settled for the regular brush. It's not the softest brush I've ever used but it does give even coverage and works well with the foundation :) and you can't really go wrong with £1.50!

hope you enjoyed this post ;D

lotsa love xoxo

the dream team ♥

hello beautiful bloggers :)

I just wanted to show you some of my fave beauty products at the moment and let you know why I love them so much and give them a score out of ten :)

they are:

Benefit lipgloss in 'who are you wearing?' This was given to me by a friend for a birthday present and I loved it as soon as I started using it! First of all, I love the colour - it's a really pretty, purple-y fuchsia with a hint of sparkly pink which is great for putting over your fave pink lipstick for extra shine or it's great on it's own. It also smells amazing which is a plus! And the applicator wand is a nice shape and easy to use :) This product retails at £14 - not cheap, but a good investment if you want lovely lips :D

Overall a great lip gloss and I would purchase again!

8/10

Collection 2000 Hot Looks nail polish in 'button moon'. Well, I LOVE THIS PRODUCT! This was given to me by a very good friend of mine and it is amazing! The colour is gorgeous and looks so lovely for summer and when worn with gold rings looks especially nice. The application is really smooth and it dries very fast and lasts for a good amount of time without chipping. If you wear one coat you get a lovely pale sky blue and then as you build coats a more bright aqua blue is created - and both are nice :) Overall, this is definitely my fave of the faves :D

This product retails at £1.79, an incredible bargain!

9.5/10

Barry M Lip Paint in '101 - Marshmallow'.I bought this product on a whim when shopping with some friends and was wondering whether I should have got it when I got home - but now, I am SO glad I did! The colour is really pretty, especially if you are partial to a pale lip and has a lovely pink sheen to it. The texture is really smooth and creamy so it's nice to apply, but I did find that sometimes it became slightly 'bitty' on my lips so you need a good lip balm underneath. It lasts well but you do need to keep applying throughout the day to keep the colour vibrant. Looks lovely with the Benefit lip gloss mentioned earlier! :) Overall a nice lipstick and a colour worth getting.

This product retails £4.25 - very reasonable for lipstick nowadays :D

7.5/10

Marks and Spencer's Blusher Brush. I really like this! I got it for my birthday and thought, since it was from marks and spencer, that it wouldn't be very good quality but I was definitely wrong! The brush is so soft and is lovely for blusher and pressed powder as well and gives a really clean and flawless finish :) I've used more professional brushes, like MAC one's before, and they're pretty much the same as this but the different is, this is much cheaper! Lovely product :)

This product retails at £7.50 and there are lots more brushes in the range :)

8/10

So that's it! My faves and I really would recommend all of them :)

Thanks for reading.

love xoxo
