Some eyelashes and a brush.

Do we all agree that practice makes perfect? Well I certainly do. This haul was all for the sake of practicing how to put on false lashes. I'll put my hands up and say that it hasn't been easy however it is getting better. Curly lashes are the arch enemy of false lashes. Getting them to work is a miracle in itself...

Superdrug (where else! lol!) was still having it's 3 for 2 the other week when I picked these babies up. This past weekend I wore the no 070, the most natural looking pair of the lot and I think I'm in love. I so didn't take a good picture to show you guys cause Zuccherro and I were too busy having a good time eating tasty Ghanian and Sierra Leonenian food at a dear friend's wedding! But I'll show you one anyway where you can catch a glimpse of the length of these beautiful lashes!

I was hitting on Mr Jones but he was having none of it!

Please excuse the slightly faded make-up it was now 6pm with a face I'd applied at 9am :) And yes, your eyes do not deceive you. I am wearing that Sleek Graphite palette again. The purple keeps calling my name! I need to explore the rest of the palette but purple is my crack for sure! Apologies....ish!

The brush. I've been eyeing this brush for a minute. The Revlon brush line appeared in stores a few months back and I kept telling myself that I would pick it up and see how it works. Well look out for the review soon because this could quickly become a staple for us all...

It's a sturdy brush. No doubt about it. But it has also shed on me. So we shall see. You can get it in Boots or Superdrug and costs about £7.00. Could we have found another dupe for the MAC 217? Anyway, you shall soon know!

Happy Monday!

A Haul. There. I said it. A blooming Haul!

I give up trying to resist the word Haul. I can't think of what else to call it!

Anyway how are you all? To all my new subscribers, welcome! Thanking for liking my blog!!

Mother dearest was visiting over the weekend. And well she'll be going home for Christmas so these are my presents for this year. Happy days!

Urban Decay Preen Eyeshadow Box
Bobbi Brown Oil-Free Even Finish Foundation
MAC Cool Capers Pigment set
Barry M Lipliner in 11
MAC Dazzleglass in She Zam
MAC Dazzleglass in Blackfire
Revlon Va Va Violet Lipstick

I finally got my hands on the Urban Decay Preen Eyeshadow palette. I half expected it to be sold out when I went to Boots but suprisingly there were plenty of palettes left. I have to say that I am not a fan of the Urban Decay 24/7 pencils. The last tester that I got from my Book of Shadows II smudged like something you have never seen. No lie. I was EXTREMELY annoyed at the whole affair. However. I am willing to give it another go. Last change UD. Make it happen.

The Bobbi Brown foundation is my first ever Bobbi Brown item. I hold my hands up. I have never been attracted by their stuff. I think it's because I am a colour addict and Bobbi Brown has always come across to me as very "neutral". You know...all the nice and beautiful, flawless but natural looking kinda make-up. I'm too wild for such. But I hope one day to give them a good look. In fact I take that back. I DID have a good look at them but it still failed to catch my eye. Forgive me!

The two lipglosses from MAC are another first for me. I've never really thought about the lipglosses from MAC until Blackfire and Amourous came out with Style Black and Dazzle Creme [I think?!] I've been wanting Blackfire since Style Black came out but I was temporarily broke and it wasn't the top of my list. However I caved and I got it now. It's pretty. ButI suspect I shall not be repurchasing anything with lipgloss type products from MAC anytime soon. I used it twice and a 5th of the gloss is gone. A rip off if I ever did see one.

I confess that I bought the MAC Cool Capers Mini Pigment/Glitter box because of Grape and Reflects Transparent Teal. I'm a magpie really. Bright and sparkly gets me all the time! I remember there being some buzz about Kitchmas pigment but I ain't gonna lie to you, for me, it's the least attractive one of the lot. Am I wrong? If I am please break it down for a sister cause I have not seen the light...!

The Revlon lipstick is another first. I only realised after I bought it that I just don't have Revlon lipsticks. Nothing against them because I love Va Va Violet. I just never seem to pick them up. Oh well! We can start a collection now :) The Barry M Lipgloss was one of those spontaneous buys. It works perfectly with Va Va Violet. But I didn't plan it that way. Not on purpose anyway! Subconscience behave! I've worn it twice. Very soft. We shall see how it works out.

Look out for a few looks with these pretty little things. Always exciting. One of these days I might try and do a picture tutorial. Hmmm. Might being the operative word.
