MAC lipstick - Hot Gossip

Whenever I'm investing in high end lipsticks, I tend to go for more bold and bright colours. However the other day I picked up MAC's Creamsheen lipstick in Hot Gossip.

Hot Gossip is a nude pink with a hint of plum. It is a lipstick which is defiantly more for day to day use and is now a staple in my everyday makeup bag.

I really love the  'creamsheen' lipsticks, as I have another in my collection, sweet & sour, which I love. They are a really moisturising lipstick and have a creamy texture which isn't sticky but is long lasting.

As with all MAC lipsticks it smells divine, a subtle sweet vanilla smell which isn't over powering. 

Do you have Hot Gossip? Whats your opinion?

Estee Lauder lip lacquer in Hot Cherry

After looking through my collection I found that the Estee Lauder pure colour high intensity lip lacquer in Hot Cherry has been my most loved this month. I love this collection from Estee Lauder and am always swatching them whenever possible. The red is a very vibrant cherry red with shimmer, the kind of colour everyone needs in collection.

The product itself is very pigmented and last all day or night. It is very thick which I normally don't really like in a gloss however it isn't sticky at all. I love the shiny finish it leaves on your lips especially as they are relevantly easy to apply compared to other similar types of products. Overall a beautiful product.

They retail for around £19.50 which for a high end lip product I don't mind paying.

Have you got any of this collection?  What do you think?

Primark Haul

I am a massive sales shopper and love nothing more then a good a bargain.  Hence Primark being on of my favourite places to shop. 

I recently picked up a few little gems for a bargain price. One of my favourites being the floral blazer which was only £3!! I also picked up some gorgeous tops (the same top for £3 each in peach and the same in black) and  the two dresses were both £5 each. I particularly love the floral dress with an open back paired with the white blazer for spring. The white blazer was £15.

Getting back to the blog

If you are a blogger you might understand this feeling, if you just enjoy reading blogs, and are still here, then you may not. I recently found myself a little stuck in terms of blogging, I've been trying to handle blogging, Alevels, a somewhat lacking social life and work over the past couple of months and its been stressful to say the least. Its safe to say my blog took the biggest hit. However after investing in a new laptop and realising how much I missed my little old blog I decided to get back into the swing of things and get back to blogging.

I really hope some of you are still here and want to hear some of the random stuff and thoughts that end up on here.

CLOTHES SHOW LIVE HAUL

If you haven't already read my previous blog post on clothes show live you can have a look here!

I had a great time at clothes show live and as per usual spent way too much money on stuff I really do not need. I feel like in this post the pictures really do a lot of the talking, however I was mainly in the search for bargains when I was there and picked up some really  nice dresses at really cheap prices. I also fell in love with the pair of black Levi shorts which were only £15!

Every year I buy the models own goodie bag for just £10 as its always a winner. You get any 3 full sized products of your choice as well as a really good goody bag which I love.

Did you get any good bargains at clothes show live?

What did you think of the day if you went?

CLOTHES SHOW LIVE 2014

Every year when I head to clothes show live, I always end up coming home with no money and lots of new products and clothes that I really do not need in my life. Clothes show live 2014 went down pretty much the same as my previous visits.

If you don't know what clothes show live is its basically a massive fashion and beauty convention with celebrity guests, designer to vintage clothing stalls, makeup bargains and a catwalk full of both up and coming and established designers.

Unlike most years, when I use to go with my old school, my friends and I booked a coach trip down to Birmingham which included travel, entry and tickets to the catwalk for a bargain price.

The whole day was amazing so ive split this post into three. This one consisting of just photos of the day, pictures of the catwalk show and a haul post which should come later in the week.

Have you been to clothes show? What do you think of the day?

Makeup revolution - Iconic 2 Palette

Being a beauty blogger I could not get away from the hype surrounding the launch of Makeup Revolution a couple of months ago.  Not being one to normally order online I was so excited to see it finally in my local superdrug. I bought a few things but my favourite being the iconic 2 palette.

 Its a great budget palette which contains earthy neutral colours. The colours are not just normal natural colours however as I find some are not the common colours that you would find in a natural palette. Making a great all round palette. For only £4 you get a great palette with all usable natural shades to use daily.They obviously are not the most pigmented however in comparison to MUA, they are build-able to get the strong colour you are looking for.

In contrast to the Naked 2 Palette, you get very similar colours and the same amount of product. So a definite dupe if urban decay are a little out of the price range.

Yes the packaging is a little more on the cheap side but for a £4 palette that many are comparing to the urban decay naked palette, im not one to complain.
