I'm BACK!!! :)

Hi everyone :)
Appologies for not posting in AGES!
I've had no internet for the past few months due to a fault with the internet people (long horrible, tedious story).
However I am back now :)
I've missed the blogging community loads.
Anyway I bought these products the other day have been very excited about them, and I have to share them with you.
Being the Eco, Organic freak I am when I heard about Une cosmetics (made by Bourjois) I had to have some!!
So when it came to Superdrug in my town the other day (I live out in the wilderness, so we get everything late), I was instantly in love with the clean cut packaging and uniqueness of it :)

Une are on 3 for 2 in Superdrug, so I took advantage of this.
I bought the cream to powder eyeshadow called 'Nude eye shadow' and well the colour N05 is exactly that, NUDE!
But that is good, it's what I've been wanting for ages. I can wear this colour as a base or just apply it on its own for a natural look.
You can apply it by either using your fingers or a brush, it's up to your own preference (I lie using a brush though).
For a drug store product they're not exactly cheap, more high end drug store prices.
The Nude eye shadow was £8.99, but well worth it and I can see myself buying more very soon.

As shown above I also had the 'Breezy Cheeks Blush' in B03, which is the most gorgeous, natural blush colour I have come across in a long time.
It's a sort of rosy, flushed, natural pink colour.
It as well is a cream to powder like the eyeshadow, so you get a really natural result.
I used the Mac 188 brush to apply and was happy with the results.(as shown in the pictures below).
It like the eye shadow was £8.99 too.

As I'm almost out of my beloved Touch Eclat *Sniff* and I don't really have the money to fork out and get another, I thought I'd get the Une concealer to see if it would match up to touch eclat at all.
And well, nope it didn't!
The colour match is great, however it sinks into lines and pores and doesn't diminish dark circles like touch eclat does.
However I will be using it as I don't want to waste money or products.
The price for the concealer was £8.99 also.

Next is the new shade of red I have gone.

I've always coloured my hair a medium auburn, or sometimes a watermelon red as I liked the vibrancy of it.
However after watching Mad Men and seeing Christina Hendrick's hair, I fell in love with the copper tones and decided I'd go that colour.(picture taken from Daily Makeover website).
So I turned to Clairol's Nice and Easy Natural Golden Auburn 108, and it gave me the exact result I wanted :D
(As shown below).
I find that Nice and Easy always deliver a good red and they always last longer than L'oreal, which usually washes out within a week!!
So for £5.50 I find Nice and Easy a steal :)



Last up is a blush by Me Me Me.
I went to town the other week expecting to buy a benefit blusher, however when I was testing them out in Debenhams I felt that they weren't pigmented enough, and all felt a bit chalky or too shimmery (I'm not a fan of shimmer).
So I decided to go to superdrug to buy a new mascara instead (I bought Revlon's Grow Luscious, which I've forgotten to take pictures of today, but I'll do it soon) so I saw these little blushers and thought 'jackpot'.
So I played with them a bit, and I was happy enough with the pigmentation and softness of the powder to get one.
Complete Bargain at £6.49.
Mum even bought one for herself and she's not a blusher freak like me :p
The packaging is cute, and is a little cardboard box like the Benefit blushers. There's also a little mirror and brush inside, which I quite like, as it's very handy for traveling with.
I'd definitely recommend them :)

Anyway that's my first little waffle in a long, long time and I hope I made sense, I'm a little rusty at blogging at the moment.
I hope everyone is well and being great :)

I want to be French fotd

Today I popped a black and white striped long sleeved top on, and some black jeans, along with my urban outfitters quilted grey bag and I felt instantly french, even though I probably didnt look it,hehe.
I just thought I'd pop the pictures up for you to see anyway :)

(click to enlarge)

I used:
Face: Bourjois 8hr effect foundation (I'm still loving this stuff).
Mac Select Moisturecover concealer.
MeMeMe poppy tint on cheeks.

Eyes: Yves Saint Laurent E/s Duo in 7, I used the green all over the lid, then applied the gold to the inner corners, and just a little in the center of the lid, and lower lid.
Mac steep on the brow bone.
Bourjois Clubbing mascara

Lips: Poppy Tint.
Vaseline Rosy Lips (damn I forgot to take a picture of this), I really like this stuff too, it smells really nice.

Mini Random haul!

Here's a teeny weeny haul from over the weekend.
I haven't had much money lately to spend on makeup *cries*, but I bought a few little things.
I had a good bargain on something I missed when it was on the Mac website a few months back, and that is the Mac Redhead MSF.
I really wanted this months ago, but at the time I thought I didn't need it, and regretted it.
So the other day, I saw it going nice and cheaply on ebay, so I snapped it up, and I'm glad I did.
It goes on really nice and smoothly, blends well and I just love the salmon pink colour, really compliments the redhead I'm sporting,hehe.
The only thing I don't like is that it can be a bit too shiny, and can look greasy :( So i try to keep my skin a little more matte, as if my skin looks dewy (as I usually have it) it can look bad. It is a very shimmery, pearly msf I think, and the colour is quite light and can need layering.
Another thing is, this powder can be pretty loose I noticed. There's a lot of excess powder lying around the pan.
Other than that I really love it, and I'm really glad I have it.

Ok the other thing I had this weekend, which I am really excited about is the MeMeMe Poppy tint. I'm just loving everything pink and girlie at the moment.
This stuff is a much cheaper version to the Benefit posie tint, which I was very tempted to buy. However this stuff seemed just as good, well maybe even better than the posie tiny, plus much cheaper.
I paid £3 something for the poppy tint, and Benefits posie tint is £22.50, so there was no contest :)
Poppy tint looks a very bright pink in the pot, however when blended into the skin is a lovely fresh, rosey, natural pink, it reminds me of the colour your cheeks go after being out in cold weather.
Whats great about this stuff is it can be used on cheeks and lips, so you can easily follow the rule of matching lip and cheek colours with this, plus you wont have to reapply much, because it is a sort of stain.
I would have popped a pic of how it looks on cheeks and lips, but I'm not wearing any makeup today, and its 8:30pm here and it's too late to put some on, so I'll just how you some swatches for now :)
As you can see its in a nail varnish style pot, and you just sort of cross hatch style it on your cheeks, and blend in (that's how i do it anyway).
I will have to take a picture of it on my cheeks, so you can see how truly sheer and subtle it is. Its lovely.
Oh and this lovely stuff is bought from Superdrug. I would have posted an online link for you to buy it, but they don't have it on their website.

The other thing I bought is this cute little necklace, I really love it.
It's from accessorize and was £6 (bargain). I love French styles lately, and this little necklace feeds my need for all things French and stylish

That's my little Haul people :)
I wish I could buy more :(
