London Beauty Haul

I finally visited London for the very first time in August just gone. I actually went over for 'Summer in The City'. Since being there I can tell you, I seriously love London. It's one of my new favourite places! But.. I couldn't visit London without going shopping and buying some makeup and the likes in Superdrug, Boots and Lush could I? I had never been to Superdrug in my entire life and I was super excited to go and see what it was like! I can safely say I've been missing out. BIG TIME!

I picked up my first ever Sleek products. The i-Divine Au Naturel palette, the Face Contour Kit in Light, a Blush in Pixie Pink and a True Colour Matte Lipstick in Papaya Punch. I have been using Sleek's Au Naturel palette every time I do my makeup. It's amazing and the colours are perfect for every day use. I even use one of the browns in it for my brows. I use the contour kit every time too, it's perfect for my skin tone and I'm addicted to contouring and highlighting my face. 

I also picked up my first ever MUA products, believe it or not! I only got two things because in the three Superdrug shops I was in, they were sold out in almost everything that I wanted. I got the Heaven and Earth palette and one of their infamous £1 lipsticks in the shade 13. I definitely want to try more MUA products because for the price of them, you can't go too wrong.

I honestly can't remember whether I picked up my Maybelline products in Boots or Superdrug. Let's just say Boots were having a 3 for 1 offer and that's where I got them, I think. Anyways I picked up one of my all time favourite mascaras Volum' Express The Falsies. I absolutely love this mascara and always find myself going back to it. I also picked up my second Color Tattoo in Permanent Taupe which I reviewed here. Lastly from Maybelline I got one of their ColorSensational Lipsticks in 422 Coral Tonic.

I had to get a Rimmel Lasting Finish 1000 Kisses Lip Liner in Red Dynamite. I have loads of red lipsticks and I had no red lip liner. Shocker! So I had to pick this one up.

I couldn't walk past Lush when I smelled all the lovely scents coming out, who can walk past that?! I always get drawn in haha. Anyways my friend was picking up this Lush Lip Scrub in the flavour Mint Julips and she told me she heard that it was really good, so we both bought it and it'd only be fair to say, she was right! Mint Julips, Mmmm.

In the airport on the way home I came across the MAC counter and when I seen the MAC 217 blending brush was only £14/£15 I just had to have it. I love this brush and I definitely needed it in my collection!

Have you tried any of these products before? 
Any recommendations on what to get if I ever get to go Superdrug again?

Most of the links bring you to the product on their actual websites. Most of the things I got you can get in Superdrug and Boots apart from the MAC brush and the Lush lip scrub!

Autumn Nail Polish Picks

(L-R: Flormar - #429 | Catrice - #650 Goldfinger | Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine - Lychee | 
Essence - #142 Grey-t To Be Here)

(L-R: Essence - #125 Absolutely Blue | Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine - Blueberry | Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear - #16 Blue It | Barry M Limited Retro Edition - Purple Tainted Love)

As you can see, I couldn't just pick 'a few' nail polishes, I had to go all out and pick thirteen. I suppose it's okay to have a lot though, it's better than none haha!

Personally I love when the Autumn time comes around, because I love being able to wear darker colours on my nails. I decided that this year I needed some deep, dark colours - dark reds, dark purples and navy blues. Alongside your metallics and glittery gold of course! I also decided that I wanted some muted, toned down colours too! I just couldn't help myself. *Sigh*.

I hope this post gave you some ideas as to what kind of colours you might like for the Autumn/Winter months! I hope these pictures did the colours justice, because I took about fifty and had to break it down to these few.

What colours are on your Autumn/Winter nail polish list?

If you have any questions about any of the colours or where to find them, let me know!

Thanks so much for reading! 

Love,

Sun, Sea and SANDCASTLES! | Santa Ponsa 2013

We're hitting Santa Ponsa/Ballymun in the sun, this June! I'm heading off with 4 of my friends for a week to the sun and I cannot wait! I'm also going to be meeting up with some old friends too, so that'll be a bonus! To be honest, I seriously need a break and this holiday really couldn't have come at a better time! 

I've been trying to save but also trying to stock up for holidays. I really don't know what clothes I need to be buying so I keep going out and buying extra! Which is stupid! So I've decided to make note of all the things I want/need and also make a post for you guys. I've made a list of things I want to get.

*Mini Haul* | Boots | Tesco

Even though I'm on a spending ban and saving for holidays, I've still managed to pick up a few bits in the last three or four weeks. 

Boots Christmas Wishlist

Hello everyone!

Well well well, it's that time of the year again. The start of December! Can't believe how quick this year has gone. I remember going back to school and then doing my leaving cert and now I'm half way through college, WHAT?! It's also Christmas this month, just for that, I am excited. I have to say a big sorry to all my readers because I have not been updating at all. I'm going on holidays for 3 weeks also, so I can write blog posts but I won't be able to post them until I'm back.
