Maybelline - The Falsies Mascara

Maybelline The Falsies Mascara has been my go to mascara for as long as i can remember and has been the only mascara that I have repurchased again and again. OK so i have tried to new variations of the product like the Flared and the waterproof but the plain old original has to be my favorite for day to day wear.

The wand with this mascara is super curved so it is extremely easy to apply and get into the inner corners and it is because of the shape of the wand it gives the perfect amount of lift, volume and length.

Like i mentioned i have tired the other formulas and have a spare waterproof one on hand for evenings out or if i am going to have a super long day ahead because let me tell you that stuff does not budge! It is even a struggle to remove it using the Garnier Micellar Water.

Urban Decay - Naked

The much loved Naked Palette, I cannot believe it took me so long to buy this little beauty! I have just put it off thinking 'no I don't really need it' when in reality now i actually have it, i really did need it!

The palette comes with twelve beautiful shades from a very pale white to a super sultry grey. All twelve are super soft and buttery which means they blend like a dream. The shades are also super pigmented so it doesn't need a lot of product on the brush to get beautiful colour pay off on the lids.

Virgin - A pale shimmer nude, Sin - A Champagne with pink shimmery undertones, Naked - Matte Medium Brown, Sidecar - A bronzed brown, Buck - A darker Matter Brown (than Naked), Half Baked -  A super shimmery bronzed gold, Smog - A glittery dark bronze, Dark Horse - Deep brown with bronze flecks, Toasted - Shimmery pink/brown, Hustle - A deep purple/brown with shimmer, Creep - Black with gold shimmer, Gunmetal - Medium blue toned grey with silver flecks.

Along side the palette you also get four samples of Urban Decays Primer Potion in the shades, Original which when dry is invisible so it doesn't have any effect on the shadow, except making it last so much longer that is! Eden which is a matte nude shade, Sin which is a shimmer  base and finally Anti Ageing which kind of speaks for itself. Together with the Urban Decay double sided shadow brush, with a fluffy side for blending and a more compact side for apply colour.

Do you owe the Naked Palette?

A Spot of Shopping

Every once in a while you've got to treat yourself right? - That's my excuse anyway! 

Being a makeup girl through and through, I took a little trip to Manchester and picked up a few things - I won't go into too much detail as i will be doing an individual post on each so keep and eye out for that and follow me on Bloglovin to keep up to date :)

Firstly was the Urban Decay Naked Palette - Seriously cannot believe i didn't pick this up sooner serious love for this palette. I'm sure you have heard so much about the Naked palettes that you've started getting a little bored of the thing, but seriously if you haven't tried it, it is a must. It is so incredibly easy to create day-night looks and the formula is super soft and buttery. £37- Link

Secondly i picked up MAC Studio Fix Fluid - I actually went to House of Fraser for this buy, i haven't owed a MAC foundation so was a little unsure of which colour to get and i though HOF would be quieter than Selfridges so i  could get seen and make my purchase with out too much hanging around. Turns out i am NW15. £21.50 - Link

Then i picked up a MAC Paint Pot in Soft Ochre - I wanted a base that wasn't going to change the colour of the eye shadow greatly but also keep my shadow in place for as long as i needed it too - it was a huge toss up with Soft Ochre and Bare Study... I think Bare study will  be next on the list. £15.50 - Link

We then popped into Superdrug and again i am a little late on this band wagon but i really wanted to try the Make Up Revolution eye shadows i have heard so much about, i decided to go for the Iconic 1 palette which I know has been greatly likened to the Naked palette but i wanted to give it a try. £4 - Link

NYC are have an offer on at Superdrug at the moment where everything is under £2.50 so i thought i would pick up two little items to text out - the NYC Smooth Skin Perfecting Primer which has an illuminus look - Link and the second NYC product was the Individual Eyes palette in Midtown Mauve - it says it is designed for people with brown eyes but i loved the colours anyway. it comes with four shadows an illuminator and a Primer Base. - Link
