Afternoon all!
I decided to splash some cash recently on some lovely new makeup! I was recently in London for a belated long weekend break and decided to stop by Shepards bush and shop for a while. As you walk into this shopping centre there is this HUGE computer touch screen thing that you basically type in the shop you want to find and it will tell you where in the store it is (baring in mind it is 3 stories high). Any gueses where i began? MAC obviously! however could i get in there..? no. It was packed and the shop really wasn't that big but i wasn't going to waste time and still had the chance to have my makeup done by a lovely member of staff in the shop. I have never really tried MAC products as i think the whole brand aims for a more porcelin look, rather than a natural effect. However i did decide to purchase their Studio Fix Fluid in NW13 to see if it could tame my oily skin. It is a very thick liquid so it obviously doesn't look very natural however i fell in love with it non the less due to is suiting my skin perfectly!
I then decided to have a pew at the lipsticks and were blown away at the staffs noligability at the name of every single lipstick! i had recently watched a video from Thebeautycrush channel where Sammi had mentioned one of her fav MAC lipsticks was 'Kinda Sexy' so i decided merh why not and a member of staff found it amongst hundreds of others in seconds. You can see the lipstick in the bottom image. It is a very subtle colour and looks so nice when im wearing white or black clothing however it is very matte and i find in the wrong light i kind of look like i am simply wearing foundation on my lips :(

Another trip at my local boots led me to the rest. I have prominent dark under eyes which i believe I inherited from Dad (thanks!) and asked the lady at the benefits counter for a concelour that can contain the black rings around my eyes and she told me to try out there 'booing' which is in the image above along with a eye highlight to put under my eyebrows. I'm trying to expand on my makeup collection however I still found myself resulting back to old time favs such as collection 2000 lasting perfection concelour to cover my spots, Maybeline mascara to help my lashes look fuller and my holy grail eyeliner by Maybeline which I adore due to the thin tip.
Finally I thought I'd treat my nails. Working as a waitress means I rarely have them painted but I still like to keep my collection growing non the less. The brown one is perfect because its so subtle but the other one is the polish that is supposed to make them look furry? Anyway It's cute a different from what I usually go for. I recently discovered this Kate Moss lipstick in 107 and its PERFECT to help make a quiet outfit that lacks in colour be bright and eye catching. It wears perfect and i would recommend it to anyone!
Thanks all!
