MINI HAUL - Lush, Mac and Urban Decay.

Hello beautiful people,

Yesterday i had a girly day with my best friend, Abigail. We went to Milton Keynes as Northampton's make-up counters are much to be desired. 

Our first stop was urban decay, and i originally went in to buy the Urban Decay Naked Basics palette. However i'm a sucker for a good offer. The Smoked palette was without VAT. So was a bargain at £29.17 rather then the usual £35.00. So of course i snapped it up. I would have been stupid not to! Wouldn't i?
It has four matte colours, Kinky, Freestyle, Backdoor and Blackout (in the Naked2 palette). It also has 6 shimmer eyeshadows in Mushroom, Barlust, Rockstar, Evidence, Loaded and Asphalt. My personal favourites from the palette are Mushroom, Backdoor, Barlust and Asphalt. 

I cant wait to try more adventurous looks with the purple, blue and green shadows. Also in the palette you get a FULLSIZED 24/7 glide on eye pencil in Perversion. Which is a matte black eye pencil. You also receive a travel sized eye primer potion, which i am very excited to try. 
All these colours are so highly pigmented and are so soft on your skin! The packaging is also awesome! It comes in a zip up case, and feels so soft and silky! Would i be lying if i told you the packing had NOTHING to do with me buying the product? Probably. Ooops. 
Sorry my swatches are RUBBISH. I will work on it i promise. :)

Our next stop was Lush. I have been after a lip exfoliator for a while, as my lips get so dry and then it makes my lipsticks look rubbish. :( I know. Traumatic! :) I have heard so many good things about the lip scrub from lush, and it comes in three different flavours, Bubblegum, Popcorn and a Mint one but i can't remember the name. Sorry! 

I went with the Popcorn flavour, and if im honest, im regretting it. Especially after finding out that you have to lick off the remaining product of your lips. And its not the nicest tasting product. So im probably going to go back and get the Bubblegum and Mint one. 
Its not an awful taste. Its a strange taste. It smells beautiful, really buttery and sweet. But it doesn't taste like that. Yuck. 
It however seems to be doing the job, after just two applications. :) YAY for soft lips. 


Then i FINALLY ventured into Mac. I have never gone into Mac?! Can you believe it? I think i have been living under a rock for the majority of my life? 
I asked one of the amazing Mac artists to help me pick out my perfect foundation type and shade for my skin type. We decided to go for Studio Fix Fluid in shade NW25. I LOVE it. Its high coverage, and you can build it up to give you the desired coverage you desire. 

I also went for a powder blush, in Immortal Flower. It is a pinky peach shade, and it beautiful. 
Again it is buildable for the amount of colour you desire on your cheek bones, 
applied with a angled brush it gives you an amazing contoured cheek bone look. 











All in all a very successful shopping trip! Cant wait to take some photos of the looks i create with the shadows! :) 
Lots of Love, 

AB
