MAC Haul #3

I have another MAC haul for you today. I’ve been naughty! I bought at bit more than I did last time and I did buy the items I have been looking at for a while. I mean’t to haul these products a couple of weeks ago, but I had a slight issue with my order. I was sent a Pro Longwear Blush in Whole Lotta Love instead of the Fluidline I ordered. I had to put a customer services report in and wait for a reply! I know mistakes can happen, but the blush was £5.50 more than the eyeliner I ordered and I was only charged the eyeliner price. I technically could have kept the blush and re-ordered the eyeliner, therefore saving £5.50 on the blush. The blush wasn’t the right shade for me anyway and I am an honest person. As it turned out, they sent me my Fluidline and they didn’t mention anything about me sending the blush back! I’m guessing they couldn’t re-sell it anyway because you can’t tell if it has been opened or not. Let’s get on to what I ordered:- I decided to buy two more Eyeshado...

Perfume Power! - Vera Wang 'Princess'

I was shopping in Morrison’s just before Black Friday and came across a discount perfume stand. They don’t actually sell perfumes, so I thought it was a bit odd but I decided to have a look and came across this scent. I had been wanting to test it for years but never got around to it. I decided to risk it and buy it as it was only £10.00. I got the 30ml bottle in the eau de toilette. The bottle is heart shaped and is made of thick clear glass and it has a sort of flat diamond shape base to enable it to stand up. The perfume liquid is a light lilac colour. The gold metal cap is crown shaped and has lilac stones stuck around it. The writing on the bottle is in dark purple and has the brand name in bold letters and the fragrance name in a calligraphy type font. It has a regular gold spritzer to dispense the scent. The fragrance notes are:- Top Notes: Ivy, Water Lily & Tangerine Middle Notes: Orange Blossom, Jasmine, Mimosa & Moroccan Rose Base Notes: Apricot, Am...

Too Faced Sweet Peach Palette

I finally got my hands on this juicy palette! I have been waiting for this to arrive in the UK for ages and I initially wasn’t going to buy it as I have so many other palettes, but when it became available on Debenhams website, I just couldn’t resist! The packaging is like the Chocolate Bar Palettes. It is a thin metal material with a peach and pink blend/fade colour theme. It has raised peaches carved onto the lid and gold writing on the front. It has a secure magnetic opening/close. Inside there is a mirror and the eighteen eyeshadow pans. The shade names are printed in gold above each shade. You get eighteen 0.95g eyeshadows in various peachy pink, coral, bronze and purple shades. The powder formula is infused with peach essence, which gives it that luscious peachy scent. The shades were selected to compliment and suit all skin tones. White Peach - light beige Luscious - medium copper brown Just Peachy - medium rosy pink Bless Her Heart - medium, dark ...

The Mascara Diaries: 9 Reviews In 1

My first post of 2017 is kind of a mega one. I was looking back through some old blog files on my PC and came across a few mascara reviews I did, but never posted. Some of the mascaras are quite old now, but I thought I would group them all together and post them because I still think they are still relevant. Any discontinued products may be available on discount sites or a similar and suitable substitute may be found (ex. a lot of the Maybelline Volum’ Express mascaras perform quite similar). Maybelline One by One Volum’ Express Whenever Maybelline bring out a new Volum’ Express mascara I just have to buy it and this one was no exception. I tend to get them on the £2 off introductory offer. The tube is a sort of red/pink coral colour with fuchsia reflexes and it has an aqua/teal band between the applicator and tube, which is the same colour as the writing. On the back of the tube there is also the brush type diagram, but the tube and applicator come separate in the main p...
