Christmas Lush Collection




I no its only October and I am a firm believer that Christmas can not start until at least November, but I just could not resist picking up two of Christmas bath bombs from Lush. There window displays are always magnificent and it simply drew me into the shop. I have never tried either of these products before so I was intrigued to see what they do. They are both £3.50 which is not cheap, but as a little treat and relaxation to yourself I think it is perfect.

I picked up Northern Lights which is a long purple stick of a bath bomb. The colour of this is what simply drew me in, it was so bright and vibrant. The lady told me that it will turn my bath water bright purple with blue running through it. It contains jasmine and ylang-ylang oil which is calming. The best feature of this is definitely the little silver stars which is contains which get scattered around your bath.

The second bath bomb I picked up was Luxury Lush Pud. I loved the holly in the middle and all the different colours speckled around the outside. The back half of the bath bomb is pink so that is the main colour which your water will turn  but then as it fizzes each colour will add to each making a rainbow in your bath! It contains lavender which will soothe and relax whilst your in a little world of you own enjoying the peace and quiet.

Have you picked any of the Christmas Collection up yet?

MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Powder





If you are thinking have you seen this product before, don't be worried it is the same brilliant Mineralize Skinfinish Natural Powder from MAC, it has just had a makeover and now features a new stylish black packaging. I love, love, love when powder's come with a mirror so I was very happy about them adding this in. This is my third lot of this little beauty, and I just cannot get enough of it! The powder is light in texture but has great lasting powder to keep those shiny zones of the face at bay. I got it in the colour Medium and it is a great match to my skin, there are 15 colours in the collection so there is hopefully one for everyone. It is not the cheapest product on the market and definitely belongs in the high range category as it costs £23, but I have to say that these last a good 6 months and you really do get your moneys worth.

What is your current favourite powder?

October Favourites




October has been a five week month meaning that I have had even more time than usual to round up my favourites from this past month. In a recent MAC Must Haves post, it featured Peachykeen and I explained how much I was in love with the colour, and it has become my go to everyday colour this month. Also featured was the Studio Finish SPF 35 Concealer  in NW15, I love the smooth texture of this and it is great long-wearing concealer to cover pesky blemishes. The MAC eyeshadow in Sea Worship came from a specialist collection a few months back so is unfortunately not still available. The colour is so pigmented and applies such a pop of colour to your eyes.  My absolute favourite product from the month is the Real Techniques Multi Task Brush  I use it for applying for powder, bronzer and blusher, its just so good for all three! The Ultimelt by Soap & Glory is the best drugstore hot cloth cleanser out there, it feels like it is really digging deep into your pours and my skin feels so clean after application. My first favourite lip product comes from Revlon in the colour in Barcelona Nights. It is from the Colourstay Moisture Stain range and is a real steal at just £7.99. Finally, a good old favourite which still features regularly within my makeup routine is Tanya Burrs's lipgloss in Picnic in the Park.

What's been your must have product throughout October, I would love to know?

Primark Purchases





I took a trip to Primark last week and picked up a few new bits and bobs. I thought that the Little Mermaid makeup bag for £3 was so adorable and is perfect for travelling or to pop into your bag for day to day use. The candles are always so lovely and such a great price, the smaller one was just 80p and the larger one was £2. For winter essentials, Primark always allows you to stock up on this seasons must haves. I just could not leave the Christmas themed cosy socks on the shelf they just had to come home with me, they were just £2.50 for two pairs. The platted headband will be great for those freezing winter mornings to keep your ears nice and toasty and also looks cute in your hair, and for just £2 it is a total steal.

Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet




A month or two ago, I was browsing the huge Boots in Manchester when I saw a huge introductory offer on a new Bourjois lip product. I had seen these feature on a few people's blogs of those who had received samples of them, and I was intrigued as they looked very pigmented. I firstly picked up the colour Frambourjois which is red with a hint of orange to make it more accessible to way to wear day to day.

Then I saw Pink Pong on my next visit and instantly fell in love. I wear this often as it is such an easy way to create an intense coloured lip which instantly brightens a simple day to day look. They are now £8.99 to buy and they come in 8 colours featuring a variety of different colours.

MAC Must Haves





I've done a bit of MAC shopping over the last few weeks and picked up some of my essentials.
First up the Mineralize Skinfinish Natural Powder has had a makeover and comes with some new fancy black packaging with a mirror in side which is very useful. My previous one lasted my for at least a year so you are definitely getting your moneys worth as it costs £23. I love the coverage of this, but best of all it feels so light on the skin and the application is simple.
Lingering Eyebrow Pencil is my most re bought item from MAC, I think this must be my fourth re buy of this just because I prefer a soft pencil as it makes application so much more easier and you can get your desired effect with little fuss, this costs £13.50.
It was time to add a new blusher to my minimal blush collection as it is one of makeup item where I have a few favourites and I just stick to what I know. The colour is Peachykeens and it suits my fair skin tone beautifully and costs £18.
Last up I wanted more of a cover up blemish product so I picked up the Studio Finish SPF 35 Concealer in NW15. I have been previously wearing this product in NC20 as I was advised that this was best for my skin tone even though my foundation which is a perfect match is NW15. On application I have always found it a bit too yellow for my skin, even though it does work lovely as an undereye brighten. So this seemed liked the perfect solution to all my problems, and I am hoping it is at it's price tag of £15.50.
