Best of Beauty Christmas Haul

Well christmas is over which is so sad! However to cheer you all up heres a few makeup bits that I got for christmas.. that maybe you all could sneakily find in the sales!




This palette is by blush cosmetics and is from amazon. The colour range is amazing I could literally just stare at it haha. Colours are soooo much brighter in real life! Pigmentation is also much better than I was expecting! Can't wait to play and create some looks with this.

 This is coastal scents blush palette (colours are also a bit more vibrant in real life) I am also in love with this! Pigmentation is great and some are matte and some are satin finish, if you are familiar with mac terms.

Mac Paint Pot in bare study.. Urban decays primer potion has been firmly replaced!




Calvin Klein cream eyeshadow in bare silk. I've been using this as my highlight for my cheekbones, brow bone and inner corners and oh my this is gorrrrrrgeous!! If you can find this in the sales, you need it!




This is one of the new type of mac lipsticks called sheen supreme and this one is in the shade bare again. To be honest this is just my lip colour in a lipstick but it is amazing for its moisturising qualities. Will definately be trying out a few different shades!

Thanks for reading xxx

Hope you guys like, please comment, oh and Im always open if you have any recommendations!

Here we go, ciao!

Im loving Lancaster (you might notice! lol I actually bought the whole 'Infinite bronze' collection oops! but these are the besties from it!) Below is the 'Beauty Escape 5-in-1 Powder Compact and it is awesome!! 2 Blushes (matt), a contour powder (matt) and 2 bronzers (matt + shimmer)! What more could you want......LOVE!

Cute Packaging??

And then more Lancaster... this is the Cool shimmer Blush in 'natural'.. which basically is a gorgeous creamy neautral toned/ bronzey blush with gold shimmer! Beaaaautiful for summer... oh and i also tried this out as an eyeshadow base! Worked wonders!

You will not believe how silky and creamy it is!


Estee Lauder Signature Satin Creme Blush
06 Pink Light

Not as creamy but isnt the colour uberrrrrr yummy?? Perfect for a healthy blush or even the doll look!




I am not realising all these products are face products! oops! Anyways.. this is another everyday gorrrrrrgeous bronzing product! It is the christian dior Bronzer, in 002 honey tan!

Messy?? Nahh, well loved! haha.. Iv been using EVERYDAY :)



What another Lancaster? Yup! This is the 'easy face bronzer brush' snappy! not.. in 002 Sunny!
This product is amazing and when I use it the need for foundation drops an awful lot, great for summer! It is basically a liquid bronzer! I apply this all over my face and then I add foundation down the middle of my face (problem area) and im good to go! I love it and I don't feel cakey or that my face is weighing down! lol





Last but not least my trusty mac 187 ( dirrrrty and out of shape in the photo =loved :)
Perfect for stippling foundation, and blending for a flawless face!


Ciao Darlings! xxxxxx

Summer MakeUp... Embrace it or Cake it?

Im not afraid to admit it, yes I am a complete makeup addict, Its my addiction, my drug... my passion! But what do we do in the summer? Wear the same amount and let it gradually sweat of our faces.   Not a good look!

To get to the point of this post is to show you all my face for the summer! Im trying to embrace my inner beauty and cut back a lot until who knows where it leads me?

But this summer, no eyeshadow, no eyeliner, no blush

Only a little bit of mascara, a little bit of foundation and some bronzer... Lipgloss is a necessity though!
No I don't have super clear skin, spots galore & red pigments.. Oh and lets not forget the breakout of freckles when I just step out into the sun! But you know what its time to embrace it!

whos joining me? Lets give it a go and let our skin breathe this summer :)



Good idea girls?

Mini Clinque haul


Colour surge eyeshadow 'frosted blossom' gorge for spring/summer.. really light shimmer lavender,pink!




Dont be scared.. I didnt actually buy a black lippie.. Its called an 'almost lipstick' and this ones called 'Black Honey'. Really this means they are super duper sheer, this one comes out as a really sheer but moisturizing blackberry red. Its soo glossy!



I was watching one of tanya burr's videos (pixiewoo2 on youtube so beautiful and talented!) anyways and she was using this foundation. I really loved the final result so i got it, clinique always are a bit on the small side with the size of their foundations though. It is indeed smaller in life.



Anti-Blemish solutions clearing moisturizer, I wasnt planning on getting this, sort of an impulse buy. I havent really got into using it yet but i like the idea of my skin getting better with this, not that i have bad acne of anything but i do get spots and break outs, boo! :(


I have wanted this moisturizer for soo long! Its lovely and silky, a little goes a long way and it makes my skin feel great. Its called the 'dramatically different moisturizing lotion' if you cant make out the photo. So far so good, been using it for about 3 days.
Picture heavy, sowwie, but I know i love a good look at products before i even think about buying!! Always interesting..
