Beauty Haul

(Products I bought)

Over the past couple of weeks I have been shopping and purchased quite a few bits of makeup. Here I will be showing you what I have bought, swatches and the names of the colors.

(Rimmel Scandal eyes waterproof mascara)

Cost: Under £5
From: Savers
Color: Black
I bought this mascara because it is waterproof and is something that i will need for the summer. If you ever think about buying a rimmel product, buy it from savers because it is so much cheaper!

(Rimmel professional eyebrow pencil)

Cost: Around £2.50
From: Savers
Color: Hazel
I never really knew whether I needed to fill in my eyebrows, so I thought I would try out an eyebrow pencil. I don't really have anything else to compare this to, but it is pretty good. Once again, buy rimmel products from savers because it is so much cheaper.

(Rimmel Apocalips Lip Laquer)

Cost: Under £5
From: Savers
Color: Luna
The color of this lip product is super bright and amazingly pigmented! I don't really know whether this is a lip gloss or a lipstick but it applies like a lip gloss.

(MAC creme sheen lipstick)

Cost: £15
From: John Lewis
Color: Creme Cup
This color is really popular, and now I understand why! It is the perfect amount of pigmentation, the perfect color, moisturizing and glossy too. The color is perfect for spring and summer!

(MUA lipstick)

Cost: £1
From: Superdrug
Color: Juicy - Shade 15
This color is really pretty and perfect for spring and summer! MUA lipsticks are known for their amazing value, only £1 each!

(MUA single eyeshadow)

Cost: £1
From: Superdrug
Color: Shade 16
This color is perfect as a base colour on my eyes. And once again amazing value.

(Revlon single eyeshadow)

Cost: £2.99
From: Superdrug
Color: Sand
I was dragged over to look at these eyeshadows because of the cuteness of the little pots. Then when i had a closer look at the colors and the quality of the product, I just had to buy it! And I am very happy I did.

              you know you love me

Reasons why I love it:

Lasts a Long Time

Maybelline Baby Lips

(My collection of babylips)

Maybelline Baby Lips

I love my Maybelline Baby Lips! I can not live without them! As you can see i went a bit crazy and bought four of the six available here in the UK. There are many other ones available in the USA, but unfortunately they only sell six flavors here. I have two of the moisturizing ones without any tint and two of the tinted ones. I love the tinted ones because it is great for school, it gives you a bit of a sheer wash of color onto your lips without being to bright. I love them! But then the moisturizing ones are great too, just for a normal lip balm.

(My flavours of the Baby Lips)

From top to bottom, the flavours are:

  • Hydrate (flavorless, but tastes sugary)
  • Mint fresh (Minty)
  • Cherry Me (Cherry, obviously)
  • Pink Punch (Tastes like strawberries, and also like fruit punch)

Nivea Moisturising Cream!

Just a short Review!

(Nivea Soft Moisturising Cream with Jojoba Oil & Vitamin E)

Here is my moisturiser at the moment. All I can say about this moisturiser is wow! The value of this product is amazing! It costs around £1.50! The moisturiser I had before this one costed around £10 and i much prefer this one! It is quite small, it only has 75ml so that may be the reason. But its definitely worth it! I use it twice a day, in the morning and in the evening before i go to bed. Meaning as it is so cheap, why not go to your local drugstore and pick it up.

MAC Lipstick Review!

(MAC Amplified Lipstick in Viva Glam Gaga)

Review

Here is my MAC lipstick that i got for Christmas from my parents. I love it! I will definitely be purchasing another MAC lipstick soon! This color is a very natural nude colored lipstick. Also because it is an Amplified lipstick it is super pigmented and also has a really glossy and moisturizing finish.I find that because it is so pigmented i have to rub it in on my lips to give it a more natural look.
The packaging of the lipstick is different because it is part of one of the Viva Glam lipstick range. It has silver reflects in the black cover and instead of the silver inside, it is red. And on the red part of the packaging has got Lady Gaga's signature on it.
This is just a short review so... I hope you enjoyed!
