Like any girl...

Like any girl who has had a rough past couple of weeks my purse has taken the full effect of it all. Although buying everything underneath the sun hasn't exactly helped it's defiantly helped taking the sting of things.

Onto brighter topics, here's what I've been frittering my money away on...

MUA Cream Blusher - £1

I was excited to try this blush. With A/W well in swing I thought it would become a staple in my makeup bag. & it hasn't. The colour is nice, along with the pigmentation however it's a pain to apply. Although this is a cream it's very powdery and I found it hard to apply and blend easily without smearing my base. I cannot understand why it has been released as in my eyes it's a completely shocking product. Will keep working with it and keep you updated if I can get it to work (maybe with a damp beauty blender.)

MUA nail beads £2? - MUA nail polish B10 £1

Caviar nails are huge at the moment. I have never really been into the trend but I bit the bullet when I saw MUA had brought there own version. My thoughts?

Do I like it? Yes

Am I mad about it? No

Would I buy other colours? If they brought out a larger colour range

Are they hard to apply? Yes and no, will most likely do a post on it :)

The next couple of products are from allcosmeticswholesale which is a fantastic website which offers a huge selection of high end brands and a fraction of the price. Overall the service of the website was fab and the products arrived quickly and packaged amazingly.

The first product I purchased was L'OREAL Colour Juice Stick in Cherry Freeze -$3.49 (swatched on the left)

For the price of the product I was pleased, the packaging feels nice and the product itself is beautiful. The colour is divine and consisenty is very moisturising + the smell is to die for. The only down fall of this product would have to be the vast amount of glitter/shimmer that it contains. This produt would undoubably a HG if it didn't contain any shimmer. Thumbs up overall. Not sure if I would re-purchase but I have no major complaints.

 ESTEE LAUDER Signature Lipstick - Cocoa Rose  - $8.99 (swatched on the left)

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVEEEEEEE. I am pretty much in LOVE with this. The colour is just enough to give a hint of something on your lips but it's not offensive in any way shape or form. The staying power isn't fantastic but it wears off evenly and is very much fuss free. Has earned it's rightful place in my everyday makeup bag.  Would highly reccomend you to try this out!

MAC Dazzleglass - Euro Beat - Discontinued - $9.99 (swatched to the left)

This is the first of the MAC Dazzleglass lipglosses I have tried and I'm not as impressed as I thought I would be. To say the least I am glad that I didn't pay full prie for this. In terms of how lipglosses go it's very sticky and there is way too much shimmer in there. The colour is nice and so is the staying power. Wish there was more of a blue incandesence in there rather than just the gold too add further depth.

The last product I purchased form allcosmeticswholesale was an EOS egg lipbalm, and it pretty much lives up too all the hype surrounding it! Honestly cannot ever see myself straying from this limp balm now. I got mine in the strawberry flavour and it was around the $4 mark.

Now a post from me wouldn't be complete without a mention of eBay in... so here it is.

Lancome's Juciy Tube in Moulin Rose. This is only the 10ml size and it set me back £5.75 which is pretty impressive, the eBay seller was 'jennys_cosmetics' whos store I would reccomend you check out.. The lipgloss arrived the day after purchasing in a cute little bag which always gets me!

Anyways bak to the juicy tube, I brought this on makeupneversleeps reccomendtation and haven't been left disappointed. I have only ever tiwce made it though a tube of lipgloss and I can already see myself purchasing another one. It's not sticky but instead satiny, and the pigmention is just enough but not all there which is how I like  my glosses.

And finally I wanted to mention this ring which I literally refuse to take off because I love it so much. Cost me 99p I believe and has become on of those pieces that I will wear literally everyday for a very long time, it's so dainty... ahh I just love it.

I am curently hauling cheap drugstore lipliners to review for you, and getting some NYX products in to review. I am also thinking about starting a blog shop where you can purchase my favourite products at discounted prices :)

Look out for a birthday haul within the next month and hopefully a Rachel K CC Cream post.
