New York Make Up Haul

Hiya, sorry I have been a little late in posting about my New York purchases! I have felt a little stressed and unorganised recently (many factors) but I'm gonna get back on the blogging straight and narrow now!

Here we go...

 

 

My 1st ever Mac buys were... a neutral blusher, Cubic and three very different lip sticks I could have bought soooo much more but I was being semi good! I wanted a red lipstick, the one I went for was a Retro Matt One called Relentlessly Red. I am trying to be a bit bolder with my lip colour I do still sometimes feel a bit like a clown but I think this colour would look rather classy with a nice black outfit. The other two for me are a little bit more wearable for everyday. Just before I went to New York Hannah at  Champagnetote did the perfect post for me, her Mac lip stick collection. I jotted down the ones I liked before I went and I came home with one of her choices, Plumful. Its a pinky plummy colour which I love for both day and night. The other one is Razzle Dazzler, it's a coral/orange shade which I love for the spring/summer. I will be defo buying some more to add to my collection, as a little treat for myself when pay day comes along!

 

I have wanted a decent eye make up primer for a while and I was holding out till I went to NY. I went for the Urban decay's Eye shadow Primer Potion. From the days that I have worn it I have been really pleased with it and my eye make up has lasted all day long! A little goes a long way too!

Next up I bought some NYX products, I picked up 4 eye shadows, which I saw on Pintrest are dupes of Mac's and a Eyebrow pencil and highlighter.

I stocked up on my normal Clinique Anti-Blemish Foundation and there new-ish Spot Clearing Gel which I wanted to try. I have been using for about a week or so and I really like it, full review coming soon. 

I love Benefit but again I was quite restraint, knowing I have quite a lot of make up at home. I bought some on there It's Potent eye cream which I love and some of my fave blusher Coralista.

 

I picked up this great eye make up brush set in Sephora. The quality of the brushes is really good.

I found out that Forever 21 did make up!!!! To me some of it looks pretty similar to Topshop's make up which I have not really tired. I bought a red lip gloss (very daring), a bronzer as mine will be running out soon and coral colour cheek and lip stain. I also pick up a few sheet face masks in there, for a dollar each how could you go wrong!

Well these where my Make up and skin care buys! I did hit Victoria's Secrets and bought quite a few body spritzes, they worked out such a good deal! I also bought a nice new handbag which I will show you in a 'what's in my handbag' kind of post!

Anyway bye for now

April New York Wish List

I always seem to do these posts at the end of a month! I suppose I spend the month umming and awwing about everything then finally get round to posting! 

This month is my NYC wish list! It seems like only feels like yesterday we booked it and now it's less than a week to go! Last time I went to New York was about 4 years ago and I felt the pressure of being in the shopping capital of the world was huge! I didn't really do my research and I found myself standing in Macys and thinking...

"What do I want?"

"I need to buy something, I'm in New York!"

I came away with a few lovely bits but now being old and more aware of things plus being a beauty blogger I have a 'vague list'. I really don't want to set my heart on something and not being able to find it so I'm going with some ideas of things and hopefully will be more surprised with what I get! 

Converses- On my days off I almost live in these! I only have one pair so I'm on the look out for some uber cool ones! 

Clinique- You can get a really good deal on Clinique products out there and as my fave foundation is a Clinique one I will probably pick up a couple of bottles to stock up... Plus a chubby stick or two... maybe a blusher!

Benefit- One of my fave brands, I have seen some really good gift sets online in Sephora so I will be defo picking up one or two bits! 

MAC- I reeeaaaallllyyyyy wanna get a few Mac lip sticks, I don't have any MAC products to everyone's dismay. I find it quite daulting being in the MAC shop/counter plus I have been holding till I go to NY as it's a bit cheaper out there! I might look at one of their foundations too...! What's your best pick for a more oily skin?

Tiffany's- I will defo need to take a 'look' in there!

A 'nice' handbag- I'm not thinking Mulberry even though my heart says YES! But I'm looking out for a Michael Kors or DKNY one, that sort of thing.

I will probs bit up lots of other bits along the way! 

I'm open to ideas so if you have a fave MAC lipstick you think I will like or any other NY shopping must have do please comment below!

Bye for now

This Weeks Haul...

I have been shopping a few times this week (even though I'm ment to be saving) I got a few bargins though! 

First me and Russ went to Bluewater on Monday evening, we didn't really need anything but we wanted to try out and have a meal at Wahaca (post coming soon). While I was ther I picked up this lovely over sized clutch bag, 

I love how tan and dark blue will go with most things and how you can dress it up or down for the evenings. Plus the heart print is super cute, even better it was £19 reduced to £9.50! Had to be done!

Next I had a look in New look and got these lovely beige flat shoe boots, they are so comfy and can be worn with most things! They were only £8!

Today I had to go into Maidstone, to get my hair cut, so of course I took that as a chance to have a 'look around the shops'!!

Got this comfy and casual blue jumper in Primark it was reduced to £3! Perfect for lazy days off! Also I picked up some bobby pins and I thought I would try out this sparkly gold head band! It was only £3 so if I don't like it, it wasn't much!

Lastly I popped into Boots and Superdrug and picked up these beauty's! 

Firstly I got a Sleek make up palette, I havnt used their eye shadows before (I love their blushers) so thought I should try! I picked up the vintage romance palette, the colours were lovely, I will post about these soon! 

I picked up a cheapie natural collection green eye shadow, I use to have a really nice dark greedy shimmery eye shadow, I'm gonna give this one a try to see how it is!

I bought the bargin of the day, A BLUSHER FOR £1! I picked up a pinky peachy colour, I'm not to brave in blusher colours yet!

Lastly I finished my Boujour colour boast lip crayon collection! I picked up 'peach on the beach' and I LOVE IT! I tryed it as soon as I got home! It's a bright but not too bright pinky/coral shade and looks fab! 

I hope you grabbed done bargins this week! Will post on my new hair cut later!
