I have a small MAC haul for you today; I purchased everything via the MAC website. I have been buying a lot over the festive period, but I am still waiting for everything to arrive. Nevertheless, there will be more hauls coming soon. I didn’t buy that much because I didn’t want to go too crazy because I have my eye on a lot more products from other brands. I finally decided to get the Eye Kohl in Smolder (intense black) . I have heard about this eyeliner pencil for years, but after swatching I noticed that it is not quite as black as the Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Perversion . The UD pencil has a more creamy texture and a sort of glossy finish, which is probably why it is a slightly deeper black. I also got a Magic Dust Eyeshadow in Forward March (peachy gold shimmer) . It is from the Nutcracker Sweet Collection (Holiday 2016) and it was on sale at 30% off. Lastly, I received a FREE sample; I had a choice of three and decided to get the In Extreme Dimension ...

I recently received this sample but I have known about this scent for a while. What appealed to me most were the scent name and the bottle design. It is Mon Paris by Yves Saint Laurent and it is a 1.2ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum. “An intoxicating white chypre to make you lose your senses. The sensuality of white petaled musk, enlightened by a vertiginous datura accord and balanced by the intensity of an exceptional patchouli. The trail of intense love. Peony accord - white musk - datura accord - patchouli essence.” It contains a mixture notes such as; Strawberry, Pear, Calone, Datura, Orange Blossom, Chinse Jasmine and Moss. It is quite a strong a vibrant scent. You can really smell the musk, berries, jasmine and orange blossom. It is a very nice fruity floral scent and it is suitable for all ages. Although it is a strong scent, it is not too overpowering or offensive. I actually really like the scent and I am considering purchasing a bottle. You ca...

I heard that O.P.I would be releasing a Breakfast at Tiffany’s Collection and I was really interesting in trying some shades, so when I was browsing the O.P.I website and came across this set, I snapped it up straight away! The packaging is like a white and lilac fashion book and it has a beauty advent calendar vibe. It is a sort of alternative to a beauty calendar. There are five rows with five shades covering two sides of the book. You can open the windows that cover the shades, but it will reveal all five shades, which is why it doesn’t quite pass as a calendar. Plus, you can’t actually take the bottles out like you would a beauty/chocolate calendar. You have to open the sides of the book and pull out the five separate plastic trays which hold the bottles. There seems to be a lot of wasted packaging this way. You get twenty-five 3.75ml bottles of Nail Lacquer and the set contains new shades from the Breakfast at Tiffany’s Collection, and some old favourites already pa...

I was browsing Boots.com for gift ideas and I came across an Essie offer. You got four of their full size (13.5ml) winter 2016 polishes for £17.50. I didn’t get to choose which shades myself but the ones they were offering looked beautiful and are probably the shades I would have chosen anyway. There are six shades in the collection overall; Getting Groovy, Go With the Flowy, Satin Sister, Oh Behave!, Party On A Platform and Ready to Boa. I four I received are:- Getting Groovy - metallic gold palladium Party On A Platform - London garnet red Oh Behave! - minx peach frost Ready to Boa - glistening bronzed mahogany The shades are absolutely gorgeous and my favourites are Getting Groovy and Oh Behave!. They are all perfect picks for Christmas and sadly the offer is no longer available, however you can still purchase the individual shades. ♥ ♥ ♥
