Avon...Far away perfume

I decided to try this scent because I had heard someone raving about it on youtube, and yup they were right!! Its a weird yet nice smell. I ordered it online from the avon website and it was on sale at the time for £7 !!!!!! People were right also in that its not fruity or floral or musky its unique....yes it is exotic and oriental and by that I don't mean it smells like a chinese takeaway lol but instead a delicate smell of the culture........ok so you are probably thinking well that was not helpful but basically it reminds me of the far east in a natural scenic kind of way sigh....please try it cos its fab!!!

MAC ladybug lipstick

My mom gave me this lipstick and it is literally the most adorable red I have ever seen. When applied it gives this luminous glow that I can't even describe !! Its super smooth and reminds me of a mexican sunset.....divinee need I say more!

Some great budget travel essentials from boots!

I bought these items a few weeks ago as just general staples in terms of travel. I travel back and forth from university to home every 6-7 weeks so just thought I needed to buy a cosmetic hold all bag and a travel mirror for use on the go.

The case is just a simple plastic clear rectangular shape and to me clear is great because it means I can see what items are at the bottom and where exactly. Easier to reach to! Its an awesome size too because it even fits my full size elnette hairspray in it too :) When I bought it from boots it was £8 and only because it came with a ton of  other travel essentials in it....a pouffa sponge, empty storage containers and bottles so you can take travel sized versions of your shampoos etc !

Anddd the mirror was just a cute patterned large mirror I saw in the make up brushes section and I thought I just really needed one for doing my eyebrows and applying eyeshadows etc. Its really slim and compact so I can just slip it into my bag before I go classes in the morning....it was £4 something I thinkk...cute dealioo

Revlon colorburst lipstick in SOFT ROSE !

Finally after a long time I liked a lipstick of a more muted colour not from MAC.....its the revlon colourburst lipsticks. This is my first time trying this particular line, I have tried the revlon matte lipsticks and enjoyed them a lot. To start with the packaging is classy and the shade is quite accurately displayed in the top of the lid. I bought it in 040 soft rose and the best way to describe this shade is that it is a darker coralish red. Perfect I feel for spring. It is extremely rich and creamy and texture and I think I am going to have to go buy some more of the other ones too from boots!

Boots brand....shampoo and conditioners?

I have been trialling these products for a few weeks now....the honey and jojoba shampoo and conditioner and the henna & horsechestnut shampoo. I can say that the honey ones are not so great and perhaps only suitable for washing your makeup brushes since they are quite drying. HOWEVER the shampoo containing henna is a new stable in my shower because gradually over weeks my hair has been tinted the most natural shade of brown everrrr! I love the smell and if you are young and do not wish to die your hair and stress it out etc then this may be a nice one to give a go.

Trying out the new MAXFACTOR mini nail polishes...some spring shades!

They have launched this range of polishes not too long ago and I finally decided to go and get myself some...as you all may or may not know painting my nails is my favourite thing to do everrr! The size of these polishes is so cute and perfect since you can finish it all up before it goes lumpy and wastes. The first shade above is 08 Diva violet. I got it because its a girly pink/lilac colour and I wanted to try and replace my eyeko lilac polish which is my fave polish of all time....but sadly this colour does not beat the eyeko polish but is still nice. I guess I will just have to buy more back ups for the eyeko lilac polish! The next shade is a golden sheer tone colour called 01 Ivory. Hmm I am not sure why its called ivory because its more goldy lol but yes none the less a nice shimmery shade. Finally the third shade is 05 Sunny pink....and this is my absolute favourite!! It is a fine pearly pink with gold and violet iridescence.....soooo pretty for spring 2011! Overall quality of these polishes is good and they don't tend to chip easily especially the ones with shimmers in em...so yeh enjoyy :)

COSMOPOLITAN beauty experts blend perfefction sponge

So finally a version of the famous beauty blender sponge and sonia kashuk sponge from the USA is now available at superdrug!! Talk about convenience....I have been thinking of ordering the US version of the beauty blender off ebay for a while now but have always felt its quite pricey due to postage etc. So when I saw this is just had to purchase it :) Its a cute hot pink super super soft and bouncy sponge for application of any creamy face products. I have been using it for the past week and let me tell you its really worth it because if you try and buy a face brush for £5 its very difficult to find a decent soft one of the correct shape, this sponge is the best alternative to me! The reason why I like it the most for day to day use is because it gives a very sheer coverage of the product on my face so I am technically wearing the minimum amount of makeup, no cakeyness! I use a cream to powder foundation...MAC studio tech just to let ya guys know.
