July Favourites

Oooh its been a long time since I clicked on that "new post" button!! Without putting you all to sleep I will explain why, I have been without a laptop charger since my last post (over a month ago) which at first wasn't too much of an issue and I kind of enjoyed being free from my computer screen and living a kind of caveman-esque lifestyle but this past week I have missed my little blog so much that I forked out a friggin ridiculous amount on a new charger this afternoon so that I could be reunited with it *hugs blog*
Well as it's the end of July a favourites post seemed fitting to get me back into the swing of things so here we go.

MAC Mineralize skinfinish natural-Medium plus

I am generally not a powder girl, as my skin type is normal/dry I really love my face to have a dewy finish.When the sunshine graces the UK with its presence however I do feel the need to add powder on top of my foundation to keep it in place that bit longer. I love this powder as it manges to set foundation into place without over mattifying and keeps my skin looking really natural.

Chanel Vitalumiere aqua
I am trying to wean myself off Chanel Pro lumiere in case the rumours are true and it is going to be discontinued later on this year *sobs* So a few weeks ago I popped to the Chanel counter and got samples of all of the foundations to see which one could replace my beloved.Luckily I have fallen for this foundation completely! It is gorgeously light-weight but gives alot more coverage than I expected and a gorgeous flawless finish.Expect a full review soon.

Lee Stafford Sea salt spray

I seriously cant tell you how much I love this spray!!! I've used it so much just lately to create the beachy style hair that I can usually only get from being at an actual beach! There are 2 ways that you can use this, either spray on towel dried hair and then blow dry which I have found makes my hair feel sticky and gross afterwards for some reason, or spraying on towel dried hair and leaving to dry naturally which really works it leaves my hair soft and with the most perfect beachy waves which stay put all day! The smell is also uh-ma-zing its love!

VO5 miracle concentrate elixir with argan oil

I have wanted to jump on the argan oil bandwagon for a while now but have been too much of a cheapskate to part with the cash and pay for a higher end brand. So when I spotted this in superdrug reduced to £2.99 (I think the rrp is £4.99) I chucked it in my basket and hoped for the best. Turns out this is actually bloody amazing stuff! I thought that this would make my hair feel greasy and weighed down but it really doesn't even when I go a bit crazy with application! It's fantastic to use on wet hair as a leave in treatment or as a serum which is how I use it after I use the sea salt spray to get the ends of my hair (which actually need chopping off!) looking nice and smooth.

Urban Decay Naked palette 

 I don't think I need to explain why this became a favourite from the second I opened the lid and set eyes on those beautiful colours!! I picked this up about 6 weeks ago and have used it every day since as the combinations are endless.Definitely worth the £30 splurge! My favourite colours are Sin, Naked, Half baked, Toasted and Hustle.

OPI nail lacquer- Skull and glossbones

This is one of the 4 colours from the Pirates of the carribean miniature set which I bought a couple of weeks ago. I really only picked it up because the packaging was so cute (sucker!!) and tbh wasn't expecting much from this colour, however it is now my new favourite polish, it's a lovely pale creamy grey which in certain lights leans towards an eggshell blue shade. I am definitely going to try and get my hands on the full size bottle as I can see me running out of this one fast.

MAC lipstick-Hue

I lost this lipstick a while ago and my boyfriend found it under my car seat, I think he thought I was a little bit mental when I grabbed it off him shouting "Yay, you found Hue" he thought I had named it Hugh haha! Anyway Just lately my daily make-up has mostly been bronzed skin and a smoky gold eye so I love to wear a simple nude lip. This is definitely my favourite nude in my collection as it is so easy to wear, I love the glaze formula for being the happy medium between a lipstick and a gloss which leaves my lips feeling moisturised and non sticky.

So those are the products I've loved over the past month

Is anyone loving any of the same products? let me know my lovely's :)

This week's Haul!

I was expecting to be posting a MAC haul today,but after having a bit of a sesh on the old cocktails last night for my bestie's birthday,I was really not up to shopping today :( boo! So I thought I would share with you what I have picked up from the shops this past week...

I have been Nail polish obsessed lately! Can you tell? ")

First up, the OPI pretties!!

L-R 'Not like the movies' from the Katy Perry collection,
'Teasy does it'
 and 'Bring on the bling' from the Burlesque collection

There is a really cute shop near my house that sells loads of OPI and the girl twisted my arm into getting bring on the bling *cough*

Next the China Glaze Beauts!

L-R 'Meteor shower' and 'Bad Kitty'

I have been wearing Bad Kitty on my toes this week (I'll spare you a picture) and I absolutely love it, its a really pale pink with multicoloured glitter,its so girly and perfect for Spring!

Drugstore diamonds...

L-R Barry M basecoat,topcoat and hardener

Barry M 'Pink flamingo'

Gosh 'Groovy grey' special edition 

Im wearing Groovy Grey now and love it! I had to pick up Pink flamingo after seeing it on a couple of blogs its such a fab bright pink,I cant wait to try it out. Expect about a million NOTD posts soon ;) 

The other little bits I picked up

Lee Stafford sea salt spray

I was so excited when I found this in Boots the other day as my hair always looks its best when I'm on holiday, so the idea of this spray thrilled me massively!! I tried it out yesterday and it does exactly what it says on the tin so to speak.It also lasted all day without hairspray!

Beauty UK Metallic sparks eye crayon (green)

I already have the purple one of these pencils and absolutely love them.They are super soft and highly pigmented and are a really easy way to get a smoky eye that looks like you have spent ages on. Brilliant price aswell I think they are about £2!

MUA green mascara 

I was reading about how coloured mascaras are making a comeback and how wearing them on the top of your lashes gives a fab subtle flash of colour,I thought Id go for the cheap option first and get an MUA and see how I go.I haven't tried it yet but I will let you know :)

Have you been shopping this week or used any of these products?

Bad influence Beauty Bloggers

I wasn't planning on doing a post today due to being slightly hungover and full of greasy food and mini eggs!!!
But after spending the day laying on the sofa reading every beauty blog i possibly could (you know when u fit from link to link?)
I am feeling inspired to (lazily,sorry) share a list of new found wants...

YSL TEINT RESIST 

I have actually wanted this for a while..i have a box full of magazine cut outs with tips and cute pics called 'Fordys fab box' (sad but true) and this foundation is in it.Thanks to this blog post by the fabulous Charlotte,this foundation is back on the list.....

So is this one...

Nars sheer glow

Again thanks to Charlotte @ charlottes obsession's foundation search post I have yet another foundation to add onto my very long list of wants!! I must do a post on all my foundations I've actually lost count of them but it's my fave make-up item ever its not my fault really!

Urban decay Alice in wonderland book of shadows

I've been desperate for this for a while,but seeing Charlotte @ lipglossing's breathtakingly stunning pictures of the Alice palette,the lust has been well and truly rekindled!!

If anyone knows where i can get this from without forking out nearly £100 on ebay I would be massively grateful!! x

The Charlotte's are officially bad for my bank balance

(great for my face though so meh!)

OPI Pirates of the carribean polishes

I'm not massively into nails as i don't have any of my own and normally wear falsies, but i'm a big sucker for cute product names! ( I would lovea job naming products) I saw these on The beauty scoop last week,and rather fancy 'sparrow me the drama'. 

Topshop eye crayons

The swatches and description provided by Georgina at make-up wishes were enough to convince me that I need to add these to my eye crayon collection ASAP!

And the BIGGEST bad influence award goes to...

ME!

Obviously It's nigh on impossible to peruse the internet without a spot of ASOS'ing......

Two faced 'lash gasm' Mascara

URBAN DECAY POCKET ROCKET  Lip gloss  (James)

I'm really loving these especially the fact that there are 9 shades,each of which has a man's name and a l'il man in it's lid CUTE AS HELL!!!!!!!!!!! I'm rather fond of James and Kirk,and wondering if they might be named after the guy's from Metallica!? 

There is also one named Timothy,which is my Dad's name so i might get it my Mum for Mothers day.

Ok I'm gonna stop now,I dont want to appear too greedy!

HAS ANYONE GOT ANY OF THE ITEMS ON THIS LIST?
