Beauty Haul.

Wednesday, August 31, 2011

Helloooo! Just thought I'd do a quick haul because I've bought a few beauty things lately..

Few weeks ago I made an order on sasa because I wanted to try some products.  
Dolly Wink Liquid Eyeliner 
Face Q All in One Facial Mask (3 boxes, 4 masks in each)
My beauty Diary Japanese Cherry Blossom Mask (10 masks) 
Essential Nuance Airy Ultra Honey Air Mask.
I love everything! I'm probably gonna repurchase these when I've used them up except for the Dolly Wink Eyeliner, I like it, I like the brush ( I thought it was a felt tip but its actually a calligraphy brush pen kinda brush) but the only problem is that it doesn't seem to last long on the inner corners of my eyes.

My purchases from Superdrug, Boots & The Body Shop.
♥ Ardell lashes #109
♥ Nivea Essential Lipbalm
♥ L'oreal Telescopic Mascara (Waterproof)
♥ Revlon Nail Enamel #095 Facets of Fuchsia
♥ Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer #2 & #3
♥ Collection 2000 Volume Sensation XXL Mascara (Waterproof)
♥ The Body Shop Honey Bronze Bronzing Powder #03 Medium Matte
I have loads of boxes of lashes at home that I love but when I saw these Ardell lashes I had to get them, I believe they only just started selling them in the UK because this was the first time I saw them. L'oreal Telescopic <3 I finally got this, when I said I wished that Benefit's They're real had a waterproof formula.. well this is the equivalent! Out of the millions of mascaras I own this is probably the closest one to being "The one" for me! I never look at Collection 2000 but I heard a lot of good things about the concealer so I picked those up & they were doing a 3 for 2 in boots so I just picked up a mascara too, I haven't tried it yet but it seems quite dry, I'm not expecting much from it. Finally got the Body Shop bronzer which I've been wanting as well, mainly because I love the packaging & the actual honeycomb print on the bronzer lol. It is very good though, a perfect matte bronzer! 
 

This is Revlon's Facets of Fuchsia, its the first Revlon polish I own, I always love their colours but I never buy them. Back in the days I never liked glitter polishes, I always found them quite tacky until recently, glitter polishes have developed majorly! I've had my eye on a few of Deborah Lippmann's glitter polishes but I haven't purchased any yet, then I walked into Superdrug & saw this, it just looks so nice I HAD TO get it! I hate fuchsia but this polish is actually really really nice, I love love loveeeeee it. It has a black jelly-ish base which fuchsia coloured small round glitters and larger hexagonal glitters.  It's also a dupe for Deborah Lippmann's Bad Romance, from looking at the pictures, I really can't see a difference. I just had to take a picture although my nails are in a terrible state, they were all breaking so I just cut them all down & my cuticles are super dry!

But yeah thats it, I always get carried away when writing..

Essie!

Monday, July 25, 2011

I got myself some new Essie nail polishes before work today, don't usually buy them because we have loads at work but I popped in the supply shop for some stuff & I couldn't resist.. I need some at home for my toes anyway! I love Essie polishes, they have the best brushes in my opinion.. Nails Inc probably have the worst!

(L-R) Turquoise & Caicos, Lilacism, Boat House & Haute as Hello.

Love these colours! I chose Haute as Hello because it reminded me of Barry M's Peach Melba which I love but it turned out to be quite darker, still nice though!

3d Nail Art!

Sunday, February 27, 2011

So I finally received my order a couple weeks ago so I thought I'd do some experimenting on my nails. 
The fruit slices are so cute but they come in sticks and I had to slice them individually which too ages! I still need to practice with the 3d flowers though, they're sculpted with acrylic powder & not premade or anything but good enough for a first time. Now I look like an idiot with falsies on one hand and none on the other. owell!
Did flowers on my sis in law's nails too, Sorry for the bad photo, I was tiptoeing to take this & well.. it just didn't turn out right lol.

I'm looking for some more ideas so if you have any images of 3d nail art show me please! :)

I'm a sucker for..

cute packaging! I only discovered Jill Stuart yesterday and O.M.G her cosmetics are beautiful! They're like jewels! They're so expensive but I must get my hands on some! These are going on my Birthday wishlist lol :D
Anna Sui's cosmetics are so beautifully packaged aswell, I love the black rose design! All the fragrance bottles are beautiful as well, these are going on my wishlist too :p
Anyway I ordered one of Shiseido's Majolica Majorca mascara's so I can't wait to try that out! And a load of nail stuff for work because I wanna learn 3d nail art & introduce that to the shop as well although not much people would have it done, everyone just usually has french, colour or "something suitable for work" and there's only the odd few that have designs, owell atleast I get to have it! :D
