MAC Haul

Hello lovelies, So I have got tons of things recently. I've been treating myself a little too much. Today I went to M.A.C and picked up a few things that I have been craving. 


My 14 year old sister actually got some foundation for Christmas and because I didn't know my exact colour I unfortunately missed out on that one, so I went and got some myself anyway. I had been meaning to get Mac foundation for years but I have to travel quite far to go to the nearest Mac store so I've just never got round to it. However now - I have it! 

My skin has been bugging me recently and none of my foundations were doing what I wanted them to do, so I opted for the longwear foundation that gives you full coverage. A lot of people feel with this you need to add some powder to make it feel less shiny but I have quite dry skin anyway so powder often dries it out, so with a bit of bronzer and blusher, that will do the job anyway.

I've also never been much of an eyebrow girl, and never took as much care as I should with them. This will be one of the first good eyebrow pencils i've bought and I really hope it makes a difference.


And who can go into a Mac store and not buy a new lipstick? Not me. I wanted to go for a darker shade this time but not really into the gothic purples or anything like that. I found one which I adored called Viva Glam but unfortunately they didn't have that one in stock. However, I did find another one I really liked. I wanted a matte finish one because the others I have are glossy and have some shimmer to them so matte was a must. 




The one I got was called Taupe, its quite deceptive to be honest because I wasn't expecting the colour on my lips to be as it was. But it is really lovely and i'm glad I picked this one (although viva glam is definitely on the next to buy list)

And thats my little Mac Spree. The amazing thing about this little spree as well was there as 10% off all make up! So it cost me around 45 pounds for all three things. I would also love it if any of you could recommend your favourite mac lipstick colours for me to check out - I want to find out what everyone is loving and expand my collection.

Mini shopping haul

Hey lovelies! So this weekend i have been down at my dads and we went shopping in the beautiful city of Bath!


So i didn't buy that much, but i'm rather broke at the moment and shouldn't have even got these things, but what can i say! we all need to treat ourselves occasionally.

So my first purchases were in the Mac store, and i did plan to get a few more things than this but i just wasn't loving the foundation at the time and i like someone to come up to me at mac and tell me the skin colour i should get, and that never happened. I did get some lipstick and blush however, and i am ashamed to say this is actually my first mac lipstick purchase (but i'm pretty sure it is far from my last, don't worry girls) At the moment i am really into plumy colours for my lips so i got a colour called 'brick' which you can see in the picture. This was £15.00 (i really wish Mac did student discount) 


And then my second purchase from Mac was blush all day in 'MMCX-03', which is quite dark for my skintone and for summer but i really like the colour, and again, im sure it won't be my last purchase! Again that was £15.00 and that other little parcel you see there as well is actually a free sample of primer, i've actually bought the full product of this before and although it was good, i think there are cheaper just as effective primers out there.. but who doesn't love free stuff?
My next stop was Urban Outfitters, and i adore this store! I think i mostly love the quirky little things like the books or the homeware, but i also enjoy everything else. My first purchase was the hat which was like £16.00 with my student discount and i have been looking everywhere for a hat like this, because i don't know if i have an abnormal sized head or everyone else has big heads but i couldn't find one anywhere that fit my head nicely, and i tried this one and it was perfect! So had to snatch that up. 


And then my last purchase again from Urban Outfitters was the watch. I've been looking for a cheapish watch that i really like and i'm not a fan of gold or silver straps unless they are real or they just look a bit cheap the majority of the time. This one was just adorable and i couldn't really afford it, but just couldn't pass it up.

And that is my mini shopping haul from this weekend!
