June Favorites

Here are the products I've been loving for June, I didn't realize they were mostly MAC until I started writing this post!

Sugarpill Sweetheart Palette

I used this palette pretty consistently in June and I always seem to reach for it when I want to do a bright look.

May Favorites

Monthly favorites are one of my favorite blog posts to read and videos to watch so I thought I would start my own for May. I haven't really been wearing much make up lately but doing this post has motivated me to get back into it!

MAC Free To Be Eyeshadow

When I go through a coral phase (this seems to happen quite often) this is the first product I reach for. I was crazy about this color when I first saw swatches of it when it was coming out with the Give Me Liberty Of London Collection, but I didn't end up picking it up until a few months later when I was in Sydney. I am really glad that I did because it's been one of my favorite eyeshadows ever since I bought it.

MAC Wonder Woman Preview And Swatches

Hey Everyone!

Here are the pictures I took at the MAC Wonder Woman Preview I went to last week and swatches of what I got. I wasn't sure if we could actually take pictures so I just took a couple of sneaky ones on my phone.

Inglot Eyeshadow Swatches Plus MAC and Sugarpill Comparisons

Hey Everyone!

Guess what came in the mail today? My prize for winning LittleKiva's competition!

I got my first proper look at Inglot when I was in Sydney for IMATS last year but I didn't end up buying anything because I stood at the till for ages waiting to be served and the sales assistants just ignored me. That was my last day in Sydney and I totally regretted not going back and picking up some of their eyeshadows so I was really excited to win this palette!

Dinair and OCC Skin Swatches Plus Some MAC Comparisons

When I was thinking about getting some of the Dinair airbrush makeup a few months ago I was really disappointed that I couldn't find any swatches of anything online. So hopefully this will help some of you who may be thinking about trying out a different brand of airbrush makeup and want to see what the colors look like.

Crush Cosmetics Haul & Swatches

Just over a month ago I ordered a few things from Crush Cosmetics. It took five days from when I ordered to receive the package from Australia which is pretty fast, I definitely didn't expect it so soon. Overall I was very happy with the customer service and I wouldn't hesitate to place another order with them in the future!

They even sent a couple of free samples (bottom right corner) which was really nice!

IMATS Sydney Part Two

Next up is Make Up For Ever. They didn't have the whole range of products so I ended up only picking up 5 things. I got the HD Blush in #13, the Aqua Creams in #3, #6, #19 and the HD Microfinish Powder (not pictured).

The Aqua Creams are absolutely wonderful as eyeshadow bases. They do not move or crease which is something I was really worried about. I wore the #3 silver from 7am till 10pm and it still looked exactly the same as when I first put it on in the morning! I also used #6 fresh pink as a blush and it didn't fade at all. I will definitely be purchasing more asap!

The HD Blush was great as well, although it does have a scent that you can definitely smell when applying it. It wasn't unpleasant to me at all in fact I loved it but I can see other people hating it. I'll be picking up more of those as well.

IMATS Sydney

So nearly a month ago I flew over to Sydney for my birthday and IMATS. Unfortunately I was really sick for most of the trip but I tried my best to make the most of it. I attended IMATS on the Saturday and of course I felt like absolute death on the one day I had been looking forward to for months. I only stayed for about 2 - 3 hours until I felt like I was going to pass out then I went back to my hotel and slept for the rest of the day.

I didn't take my time to look around properly and there were so many things I missed that I was really excited about!
