Makeup Wishlist (November)

Here are some makeup items that I am lusting after:
1. Morphe 350 Palette

2. Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipsticks

3. NYX Butter Lipsticks

4. MAC Studio Waterweight SPF 30 Foundation

5. Jeffree Star Velour Liquid Lipsticks

6. Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz

7. NYX Butter Lip Gloss

8. Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara

9. Too Faced Born This Way Foundation

MAC Studio Sculpt Foundation and Fix+

When I went to get my Back 2 Mac lipsticks I was also on a mission to get a new foundation. 

For the longest time I used MAC Studio Fix Fluid, but that was not the right foundation for my skin type and I always found it to be too heavy. I knew I needed to change it but it was sheer laziness, me not doing my makeup as much, wanting to use up what I'd paid for and the fact that I don't live close to a MAC store that stopped me from updating this any sooner. Yeah excuses excuses, but I finally did it. After doing some research I knew what I wanted to try next, Studio Sculpt. I've only ever heard good things about this foundation and the concealer everyone was obsessed with before it was discontinued.

BTW: Never keep using a product just because you've paid for it. If it doesn't work get rid f it, sell it on or give it to family or friends who can benefit from it. Doing this is also a good way to have a clear out of your makeup.

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 :)

Avon Haul - C3

Hello my lovelies,

Back again with another Avon haul. At the present time they are the only people I seem to buy from. I need to go out to my town centre and get shopping. I kinda decided I'm not going on a spending ban I'm just gonna spend less :)

 First item up is the new foundation from Avon - 

Ideal Flawless Foundation (Sample) - 15p

I was not a fan of the finish, texture or how it felt on my skin. Plus the colour I chose was way too dark for my skin. It was in the colour Earth and really did look like I’d smeared mud on my face haha. Maybe I’ll try and get my hands on a sample again, if not I’ll have to get the full sized bottle. Maybe because of the amount I got is the reason it didn’t apply properly because I didn’t have enough for an even finish. But I am really happy that Avon have broadened their foundation colour range. Now us dark girls can have cheaper alternative. You can get the new ideal flawless foundation for just £10.(Cant edit this bit of font cos I wrote it in Microsoft word).

 Hello Kitty Overnight bag - £12.50

When I saw this bag I was like O.O haha I love it and will defo be using this when I  go to the gym and when I obviously stay at someones house and I may even use it as handbag. Plus who doesn't love Hello Kitty :)

 A set of  2 Country Rose beauty bags - £2.99

I love having bags like this to put my stuff in, it means I can save space on my dressing table :) And these are also good when you're going somewhere overnight, on vacation or to the gym when you need to put your face products or make up in. I wont put make up or brushes in this because their white inside and out. And they'll get ruined. I like Country Rose products, I bought a beauty holder before and I think I can say I'm becoming a fan of their beauty storage products.

 Avon care Rich moisture face cream 100ml - £3.50

Avon care Light moisture face cream 100ml - FREE

 I was looking at trying new face creams. So as these were on a deal I thought why not? Whats new to me is a gel based cream which is what the light moisture one is.

 Senses Hollywood Starlet body scrub 200ml - £1.25

I wanted a body scrub to take with me to the gym. When you use a steam it brings up whatever dead skin is on your body, so I got this.to scrub it all away :)

 Big Colour eye duo pencil in Plum passion/Angel Mist - £2

 Plum Passion

 Angel mist

 Swatches: Plum Passion (top), Angel mist (bottom)

I love these pencils, I bought one of these last year and OMG! They are so creamy and a little goes a long way and they last for ages on the eye. I use these as eyeshadow bases or just plain old eyeliner. I bought one of these before and I use everytme I do my make up.

 Catwalk SuperCurlacious Mascara Black - £3.50

I bought this mainly cos I thought this packaging was too cute haha. The packaging on this is Limited Edition.

 An up close of the wand

It does what it says on the tin and makes your lashes curly.

 Colour Trend Kiss'N'Go - Ginger - £1

This colour didn't look as light on the catalogue, and I was a bit surprised when I opened it because I cant do nudes haha and this is quite a nude pink. I managed to make it work by putting my new lip gloss below over the top.

 Swatch of the lipstick.

 Moisture Seduction Lip Gloss - Pretty Pink - £2.45

This a very interesting lipstick. It doesn't always come out the same colour. Its a bit like roulette haha. But I do like it.

As you can see from the two swatches above the lip gloss can come out quite different each time you use it. The top photo is lighter and the bottom is more pink
