Naughty Little Splurge!

Ive been slightly naughty and spent some of my student loan on items that were rather expensive and really I didnt need. But I love them all so I really dont care! Apologies for the flash photos....

 Nars Turkish Delight Lipgloss

Im gunna be honest, I only got this after Kim Kardashian said she wears it all the time. My boyfriend laughed hysterically at me for this. But Im glad I got it really because it is really easy to wear and would look lovely on anyone. The gloss isnt too sticky too which is great. It is on the pricey side but I'd really recommend it. I was far too excited to buy my first ever Nars product haha.

Benefits Bella Bamba

I've lusted after this ever since it launched, always swatching it at the counters and needing it in my life. Now I have it and have used it literally every day since I bought it. As you can see above its a perfect pink blush that I think would suit anyone. Its easy to wear subtle for through the day or can be built up for evenings. I love the shimmer in it too, it makes a really nice sheen across you cheeks without looking TOO sparkly. Not to mention I could sit and look at the packaging all day - soooo pretty! It smells amazing too so thats a nice bonus. Seriously love this.

Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Sun Defence for Face SPF 50

This is one of my more practical purchases. Ive been looking for a good strong facial SPF for when I go away in a few weeks, and I stumbled across this one so I bought it on a whim and now I use it everyday under my make-up. It smells lovely and is really moisturising, and also a great make-up base. The SPF 50 is going to be perfect for my holiday, but Ill be using it all the time from now on to protect my skin from sun damage every day to try my best to prevent those sneaky wrinkles from creeping up on me. I know, Im only 20 but it cant do any harm.

MAC Mythical Eyeshadow

I already mentioned this in my September Favourites post as Ive loved it that much since I bought it. Its a gorgeous coppery redish brown that Ive found really nice to incorporate into my everyday make-up for Autumn. Its a lovely colour for through the crease, Ive been using it with Urban Decay's Sin over the lid with this in the crease, or MACs All That Glitters. Its really pretty worn like that and Ive already got a lot of use out of it. Its Ltd Edition in the MAC Me Over Collection but its still available! I was really drawn to Carbonized too which was a really beautiful dark greyish colour which I want to get before the collection ends. These colours really are much prettier in person than on the website though so I would go see them for yourself as the site does them no justice (neither do my photos).

MAC Girl About Town Lipstick (Amplified)

This lipstick has been on my MAC lustlist for well over a year now so I thought it was about time I bought it. I had just bought a little black dress for my birthday and I was discussing with my friend how to incorporate some colour into my look for the night, we were at the MAC counter and this just stood out to me. It was the perfect lipstick to compliment my all black outfit and spice it up a bit. It is soooo pigmented and stays on for hours, the next morning my lips were still stained the bright pinky colour! Its now a staple lipstick for me for evenings and nights out and I cant wait to use it a lot more.

September In Pictures

 Last time I did this post of my photos from the month, I just copyed and pasted them from Facebook. I thought it worked, and it didnt. So Ive stopped being lazy...hopefully you actually see some photos this time!...

 This was from my 20th Birthday on the 10th. My dress was from Republic for £20, and I looooove it. I wore Girl About Town lipstick (post to come) and its my new night out must have. These are some of the less drunk photos from the night with some of my favourite girls.

 I had been tanning every day for a week...Stacey just makes me look like a milkbottle haha.

I love this photo, my besties! Im gunna put this in a frame when my bedroom is finished.

This was taken at a recent leaving party because two of my best friends moved to London for Uni. There were plenty of tears shed that night haha, miss them both already! Amy in the photo above is one of the girls who has moved away.

Hahaha love this!

Another one to be framed. I love my girls!

The wife! Must get her to do her blog again, it was so good!

Self timer failure haha.

My othe beautiful friend Hayleigh who also took off to London, come back little pea!

Ok, so this is a different night. Yes I wore the same dress, I love it too much to keep it hidden in my wardrobe (River Island circa April 2010.) This is from The Inbetweeners themed night in Dirty Pop in town. They had the real car from the show and some lucky lad won it who was sat outside in it eating his kebab at the end of the night. There was free lollies and pick and mix as well - loved it!

Me and David - too many Appletinis!

Sory its photo heavy but you could have guessed that frim the title ;)

September Favourites

Another month has flew past and Im sat here trying to figure out where it went! I feel as though I havent posted nearly enough through September but Im itching toget reviewing some products that Ive been trying and want to get back into it. Heres my favourites from September...

 Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer, Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick in Nude Delight, Paco Robanne Lady Million, No7 Perfect Lips Liner in Plum, MAC Eyeshadow in Mythical

Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick in Nude Delight

I did a FOTD post a few days ago based around this lipstick I love it that much. Basically I was looking for a nice nude that wouldnt mke me look dead, or cheap and nasty. I saw a video a while back where Tanya Burr of Pixi2Woo said this was one of her favourite nudes, and it looked amazing on her. I had been lusting after it ever since and had considered buying it numerous times, then I just bit the bullet and picked it up with some of my birthday money. Im so glad I did, its so soft and smooth on the lips and doesnt dry them out at all. It leaves a pretty glossy finish and is very pigmented. Although I do love to indulge in the odd high end lipstick, a lot of the time I think the drugstore brands do a good job too, especially Rimmel.

 Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer

I caved and eventually picked this concealer up after everyone was raving about it on here and youtube. I have to say it really has lived up to the hype for me. Granted, the packaging is already a mess but I knew this when I bought it. The product itself is creamy, provides a good coverage and does a good job on my under-eyes and any blemishes. Most concealers Ive used have just attracted more atention to my problem areas by caking all over spots and looking a mess where as this doesnt. It also doesnt settle into any fine lines I have under my eyes which is great as that is something I have hated with other concealers, including a few MAC varieties. Im quite lucky and find I dont need to use concealer every day, but Im really glad I have this to hand on those days when I do. Id really recommend it!

No7 Perfect Lips Liner in Plum

Ive been stocking up on these lip liners using my £5 off vouchers that Boots give out. Ive got this one (plum) and also the nude one and absolutely love them both. I hadnt really eve used lipliner before these and Im really glad Ive gotten into it. My lips look much more put together when I use this, and my lipstick stays put much longer. Theyre so soft and creamy to apply making it really easy without tugging on your lips. They also come with a teeny sharpener in the bottom of each liner which I find really handy. I want to collect the rest of the colours with my remaining No7 vouchers as they only cost £2.50 when using the vouchers, bargain!

Paco Robanne Lady Million

There was a lot of hype surrounding this perfume when it first launched, maybe a few years ago now. But somehow I just never got round to smelling it until this August and instantly fell in love. After some very unsubtle hints Motherbear got it for my birthday! Thanks Mam! Ive literally worn nothing else ever since, morning noon and night I wear this constantly. It smells kind of florally and fruity but in a very glamorous way. Its just one of those perfumes that instantly makes you feel like your more put together and dressed up no matter what it is you actually look like. I spray this on when Im sitting in the house looking like crap and can feel so much better about myself. Its just gorgeous, and my new signature scent!

MAC Eyeshadow in Mythical

This will be feautured in a haul post soon, so this is kind of back to front. I bought this on a MAC splurge with my birthday money. Mythical is a limited edition shade from the MAC Me Over collection thats out at the minute. From the website and swatches I never really thought much of it, until I saw in in real life at my local MAC counter and needed it. Its a gorgeous warm reddy browny colour that I really cant justify unless youve seen it yourself and know how pretty it is. It has a lovely shimmer to it and it is the Veluxe Pearl finish, which I have found most of my favourite MAC eyeshadows are, so maybe theres a trend there. Go and see it for yourself and youll see what I mean.

Food Favourite:

Ham and Cheese Toasted Baguettes from Greggs - I live off these when Im at Uni

Music Favourite:

Still loving Moves Like Jagger by Maroon 5. It will always from now on remind me of my 20th birthday party. Extremely drunk dancing with some of my oldest friends that I hadnt seen for ages. Fantastic.

Random Favourite:

Student Loan! Hello massive hauls of things I shouldnt be buying.

FOTD...Nude Delight

Long time no see! Freshers week has literally taken over my life, busy busy busy! Ive found a quick moment to share with you the new nude love of my life....Rimmels Nude Delight. Ive never had a nude lipstick before this as I was nervous of the concealer lips look, but this is just beautiful. My boyfriend even asks me to wear it because he loves it, and that just shows its good if he even notices!

Isnt it lovely! Heres how Ive been wearing it...a pretty basic but fresh face which Ive found really easy for the mornings after the night before (of which there have been many of recently) when Ive worn loads of make-up on he night time and want a cleaner look through the day.

Recent Favourites

Once again I have been slgihtly absent from blogging recently. I have been so busy setting up for uni, then I got rather ill, and then the past week has been spent celebrating my 20th birthday. I cant make promises on blogging at least once a day like I used to, as Im starting Uni next week. However, I do still love reading blogs and writing them, its just a case of finding the time. I love my little blog and anyone who reads it, so without further ado Ill get on with the post.

This post was meant to be my August Favourites, but saying as we are now nearly half way through September (wtf, seriously?!) that I cant really call it that. However, these are definately my august faves, but about 13 days late, sorry!!

Dior Addict Lipstick in 578 Diorkiss
This was a rather naughty purchase for me in August, and one that I found it hard to justify sepnding so much on a lipstick to anyone in my family. Ive been lusting after it for months, and Im so glad I bought it, its now my favourite lipstick possibly ever. The packaging for a start is so gorgeous, I love how it looks different colours in the light. The lipstick itself is so creamy and moisturising its a pleasure to apply. It has possibly one of the longest staying ability of any lipstick Ive tried. I used to think expensive lipstick would be a waste of money but I really can honestly tell a huge difference between the quality of this one and other cheaper ones. Ive got a FOTD post coming very soon showing this on.

 Barry M Nail Paint in Coral
We may not have had much of a summer this year in the UK, but this nail polish is still teh perfect summer polish. I had this on my fingers and toes for the majority of August if not all of it. Everyone knows the amazing price and quality of these polishes anyway, but this colour is so summery I love it. Ill definately be taking it on holiday with my in October.

Smashbox Double Exposure Cheek and Lip colour in Speedracer
To me, this is just a perfect cream blush. I use it mostly for contouring as its a lovely browny shade, but i also gives a gorgeous natural blush colour. Im a big fan of these kinds of colours as blush, especially with a tan, and this goes on a dream. Love love love.

 MAC Paintpot in Vintage Selection
This has feautured in my favourites post on more than one ocassion but I do seriously love this product. I know it was limited edition, but from swatching at the counter Ive found that Bare Study is very similar to Vintage Selection and is permanent so go give it a go! My eye-makeup seriously does not bunch an inch when I use this as a base. It gives a gorgeous champagney shimmer on its own, which I often like to jsut wear this, liquid liner and lashings of mascara. This is probably one of my favourite MAC purchases to date, just gorgeous.

Eyeko Graffiti Eyeliner Pen in Black.
Ive never had a talent for liquid liner, every time I ventured to apply it I would make a complete mess of it and end up having to angrily take off my whole face of make-up and start over. Until I got this! The felt tip applicator makes this liner sooooo simple to apply, Ive never ever made a mistake with it. It lasts ages on as well, its always still intact when I come to take my make-up off. I would recommend it to anyone, particularly liquid liner novices! Unfortunately this os drying out now, which isnt bad since I got it at Christmas, so now I fancy trying a new one, Loreal Super Liner perhaps


Not too many favourites this month I know, but I really struggled on deciding on some.
Thanks for reading!

MAC Haul!

Just a warning that theres probably a few too many haul posts going up on my blog in the next week or so. ive been a bit naughty with my money since finishing P20P. Oooops. Heres some lovely things I got from MAC recently....

 Teddy Eye Kohl was a purchase purely because the lovely Tanya Burr from Pixi2Woo loves it. I trust her recommendations and I was looking for a good brown liner anyway so this seemed perfect. I really really love it. It kind of has teeny gold shimmery bits in it and is a ovely dark brown colour. The texture is lovely and soft so it goes on beautifully. Thanks Tanya!

 Swiss Chocolate is the newest addition to my ever grown MAC neutral eyeshadow collection. Its a lovely warm matte brown so its a perfection addition. Its great for if Ive used shimmer on the lid to use this matte in the crease so my eyes arent totally shimmery. Its a good staple colour and I would recommend it to anyone.

 Nymphette Lipglass was a bit of an impulse buy for me. I know the lipglasses have a bad name for being sticky and not too nice but I wanted to try for myself. Sadly I have to agree though. For a start Im not too keen on the colour when its actually on my lips, and I just cant get away with the feel of it. At least I know for next time to stick to other formulas that I definately like!

Dollymix blush was always something Ive lusted after, hence the name of my blog! David saw the name of it and said "well you have to buy it, you named your blog after it". Its gorgeous, shimmery in the same was as an MSF, and a gorgeous deep pigmented pink. You have o use a light hand but it does pay off wonderfully. Its nothing like any other blush in my collection so Im really glad I bought it.

xoxo
