Urban Decay (Mini) Haul

Urban Decay is a brand I'd been a fan of for years (from afar), they've always been a really cool and edgy brand (IMO). Last year I popped my UD cherry, you can see my post on the Naked 3 palette here.

This month they opened a new store in Spitalfields, so I went down to have a look.

MAC Chestnut Lip Liner

MAC Chestnut Lip Liner - £12.50

 Trying to create the nude effect for darker skinned women to me has been quite the struggle. Nobody wants concealer looking lips...well I definitely do not. Finding that right balance can be tricky. 

Avon C11

Hey dolls,

So I'm back again with an Avon haul, which I think is fair as I have posted about other stuff recently :) And I do have a few other different things to post about coming up :)

 Glycerine hand & nail cream XXL

I 've used this cream for nearly 2 years now and its amazing.I always carry it around in my handbag.

Catalogue price - £1.75

 Black and Silver vanity bag

I have way too many cosmetic/toiletries bags but this was too cute to pass up along with the stuff that came with it in the set. (See items below)

Catalogue price - £4.99

 Glycerine hand and nail cream

I got this cos of the Limited Edition packaging, I purchased this before but it was in the "last chance to buy" section and it was only 89p so thought why not.

Catalogue price - 89p

 Skin So Soft - Silky Moisture - Ultra Moisturising Body Lotion

I love this body lotion, I'm always complaining about most moisturisers not working for my skin type but this one is a surprise and it worked like 85% which is MUCH better than most.

Catalogue price - £4

Outspoken Intense By Fergie body spray

This came with the vanity bag. 

Smells lovely which I expected as I have the purse to match. I'm gonna carry this around in my purse for whenever I need a little freshen up throughout the day.

 Crusade Baking Set

Comes with::

• 6 silicone cases
• 1 breast cancer ribbon cookie cutter
• 1 heart shaped cookie cutter

Catalogue price - £2

 SuperEnchant mascara - Black

This came with the vanity bag.

This mascara is amazing it makes my lashes so long.

 Nailwear Pro+

Colours L-R: Noir Emerald, Coral Reef, Inky Blue, Art Orange, Red Reveal

Catalogue price - 4 for £10

Coral Reef  - £1

Glimmerstick lip liner - Perfect Plum

Catalogue price - £1

Swatches:

 Lip liner

Staying power of this lip liner is good times so I'm impressed :) I line my lips, fill them in and then apply my lipstick which makes it last a lot longer. As impressed as I am I did think this would be like a real plum, its more like a plumy-brown.

Nail polish

Well we all know I am a big fan of most Avon nail polish (a post coming up on why its not ALL) and these are no exception. If you don't own any avon nail polish I dunno what you're doing with your life haha they are brilliant.(To note this was purchased before I went on my nail polish buying ban)

Sleek haul

Hey dolls,

So I was having a look on the sleek website a while back and I initially went on there with the intentions of buying the Ultra Matte palettes. But unfortunately they only had the brights, I really wanted V2 (which is still out of stock), and its not in store either :( So I keep checking back in the hopes its there but alas.

So any who, enough with my gibber jabber. On with the haul...

My goodies

Eau la la liners - £4

Top: Dragonfruit

Bottom: Moulin Rouge

Really love these pencils. I love the fact that you can use them for your eyes, lips and eyebrows. I'm a big fan of versatile products. I bought these for the sole purpose of being a lip liner. But I have had an idea as I'm writing this for something I can use these for :) The staying power of these is brilliant. I would eat and drink with this on and it wouldn't budge.

My free gift - Mini Mega shine lipgloss - Original

Glossed Lip gloss  Packs a punch - £3.59
This is my first lipgloss from Sleek and the colour is gorgeous. The only thing I don't like is the applicator. I prefer doe foot applicators.

Without flash

Ultra Matte V1 brights palette - £7

Top L-R: Chill, Pout, Sugarlite, Dragonfly, Pucker, Bammi

Bottom L-R: Cricket, Bolt, Strike, Floss, Crete, Pow!

 With flash

Top to bottom: 

Packs a punch

Original

Dragon fruit

Moulin Rouge

L-R: Chill, Pout, Sugarlite, Dragonfly, Pucker, Bammi

Sadly the yellow did not show up on my skintone. I have yet to find a yellow that looks as pigmented as it does in the pan.I'm hoping if I use it along with the sleek primer palette it will show up more vibrant (fingers crossed).

L-R: Cricket, Bolt, Strike, Floss, Crete, Pow!

Like the yellow, the orange didn't show up too bright, but I'm hoping if I use the primer it will show up better. I'll update on this later.

NAILED polish - Turquoise - £3.89

Like the lipgloss, this nail polish was a first. And I can happily say that I I am very impressed. And this is the first of many purchases I will be making (not for a while though as I'm on a nail polish buying ban - I have way too many)
