Get to know me tag

Hey guys,

 

I love doing tags. So I found this one on Foxy Unique's blog and thought I would do it :)

 

1. What's your favourite song?
I couldn’t say a favourite song cos the list would go on and on. But a song I am loving at the moment is “30 Seconds to Mars – Hurricane”, the MTV unplugged version. I just LOVE Jared Leto’s voice. 

 

 

2. How often do you wear fake eyelashes?
I don’t really wear eyelashes. I think the last time I wore lashes was Halloween October 2010, I have a post on it here.

 

 

3. Pencil, Gel or Liquid Eyeliner?
I LOVE gel liner. I use MAC blacktrack fluidline for my winged liner and AVON SuperShock gel liner pencil for my waterline.

 

 

4. What do you feel is your best feature?
I think my best feature is my lips :)

 

5. Whose wardrobe would you love to own?
Ooooh this is a tough one. I’ve kinda fallen out of the fashion loop recently so I couldn’t really say. I don’t hate Lucy Mecklenburgh.

 

6. Would you ever consider having plastic surgery?
Would laser eye surgery be classed as plastic surgery? I always contemplated it but I couldn’t risk something going wrong or it reversing itself a few years down the line or even worse me going blind :/

7. Whats the one piece of clothing you couldnt live without?
I love my warm cosy dressing gown, I always wear it around the house, its soft and snuggly.

8. Whats you favourite drink? (alcoholic/non alcoholic)
I LOVE KA Tropical punch.

9. What country would you love to go to on holiday?
Australia, I’ve always wanted to go there.

10. What's the next piece of makeup you plan on buying?
Real Technique brushes (gotta save up cos I’m just gonna buy the whole set at once) and some products from MUA.

11. Whats your favourite ever smell?
Cerruti 1881 Femme EDT and Lancome Tresor EDP

If you do thae tag, link me to it I'dlove to see your answers :)

Avon haul - C5

Hey guys,

So I'm back again with an Avon haul, I'm not gonna apologise for having another haul from them up again because I really do like their products and I'm not really loving the stuff in shops at the moment, and if I do I cant afford it haha. So I'm really hoping to get that job I interviewed for yesterday.

 Manilla Weekender bag - £9.80

I love this bag, I'm gonna be using it as a handbag sometimes cos its just so cute and I love the the way it closes, I cant remember what its called.

Pure O2 (for her EDT spray) - £4.99

This perfume smells gorgeous. It smells like a perfume I've smelt before but I really cant remember what it is, don't you hate when that happens?

Mediterranean Olive Oil with Orange Flower body scrub - FREE

 When you ordered the Pure 02 perfume you got this gorgeous scrub or free. I'd already talked about this in another blog post when my sister gave me hers. My mum liked it so much I gave her mine cos I don't need 2.

 ColorTrend Winter Wonderland lip balm - Strawberry Sorbet - £1

OMG! This smells so good. It smells and tastes like a sweet I had as a kid, but again memory has failed me and I don't know hat its called haha. (I didn't lick my lips, when I inhaled I could taste it)

 Christian Lacroix Absynthe toiletries bag - £1.50

This is what it says on the tin haha just a little toiletries bag, but I like the design on it.

Nailwear pro polishes - £2.10 each

L-R: Orange Creamsicle, Fuchsia Fun, Aqua Fantasy, Loving Lavender, Blue Escape

I love Avon nail polishes, I have sooooo many of them. They are good quality and worth their money.

 Swatches

 ColorTrend Read My Dazzling Lips lipgloss - Dazzling Watermelon - £1.25

This is a a simple pink lipgloss, but it is pigmented, its not quite opaque but its not sheer either. Something nice for everyday.

 

 ColorTrend weet Twist lip gloss - Berries and Cream - £1

I've purchased this before and I'm not sure if its being discontinued.as it hasn't been in the last few catalogues so I thought I'd pick it up.

Swatches

Top: Dazzling Watermelon

Bottom: Berries and Cream

 Ideal Flawless Foundation samples - 30p each

I got these because the last one I tried in the shade Earth was too dark for my skin tone, so I got the next 2 shades up. I hope these work cos I'd love a lightweight foundation to wear. Especially at the low price it is from Avon. I used to wear my MAC Studio fix fluid foundation in NC50 but that foundation is so THICK I feel like my skin is suffocating.

Naturals Vanilla moisturising body scrub - £1.05

Naturals Strawberry moisturising body scrub - £1.05

These smell amazing, the vanilla smell is very potent and the strawberry one smells like a milkshake, yum :)

Its quite a fine scrub not coarse at all. I cant wait to use these :)

Sleek Blush by 3

Hi my lovelies,

So I have really been out of the make up scene as late, like I said in my previous Avon haul I have only been buying from Avon because it is at my disposal. 

I was watching Jennie's latest haul video on her youtube channel beautybyjj, and she mentioned how she had bought these new limited edition blushes from sleek. As I was out on Tuesday I thought I'd head into my town centre and check out the new blushes. There are 5 sets full of beautiful colours suitable for all skin tones. Some of the sets had one or two blushes that I could wear but then there'd be one or two blushes in a set that I wouldn't be able to use. So I settled for the one I'm really disappointed that these are limited edition cos these are really great and good value for money. Unfortunately for those outside of the UK you cant buy these blushes online, they're only available in Superdrug.

I got the set in PINK SPRINT, as you can tell from the name its all pink based blushes, which are all suitable for my skin tone :) These blush sets retail at £9.99

Left to right: Pink Parfait, Pink Ice, Pinktini

Theses blushes are all a matte finish, which I really like cos I'm not a huge fan of shimmery blush. These colours are highly pigmented and the colours are buildable/blendable.

 

Top to bottom: Pink Parfait, Pink Ice, Pinktini

 

If any of you have bought any of theses sets link me to your posts :)
