Mini MAC haul

I went into MAC recently to purchase Pink Nouveau after lollipop26 said that it was the colour that Viva Glam Gaga was based on. So just as I'm about to pay I was asked if there was anything else I was looking for and I casually mentioned "Oh I bet your still waiting to get some of the Lady Gaga lipstick in" to which I was told that it had arrived the day before! So I ended up buying both colours and now I can compare them!





As is very clear the Viva Glam Gaga is lighter pink on face comparison however it comes out slightly darker when swatched.


But obviously there is still quite a comparison between them. However they are both still lovely colours and will be great for summer.

NOTD - OPI Barefoot in Barcelona

Barefoot in Barcelona is a deep tan colour with a slightly pinky undertone. It took about 3 coats for a good even colour, however this dried really quickly without the use of any drip dry which I thought was pretty good. I can't really comment on the wear of this as I only purchased it on Fri and put it on today!

EOTD - "Neutral colour pop"

A few beauty bloggers have been doing some neutral colour pop's where you have a nice neutral lid and then some colour just under your lower lash line. So today I thought I would try one since we are well into spring and it's time to break out some colour and this is a gentle way of doing it!

(I did try to do a pic with my eye closed but it just looked like a was v drunk!)

I used: Mac, Malt - all over the lid
Urban Decay, Half baked - Half lid and all the way up to the brow bone
Mac, Stars 'n' rockets - Under lower lash line
Benefit, Bad girl lash

So will you be adding more colour now it's spring?

The Strokes Hair moisturiser

So I was given a pot of this and thought I would try it out again. I tried it once just after Christmas and thought meh maybe my mum will use it. I then forgot all about it until I was raiding the bathroom today to find something to sort out my unusually poofy hair and voila there it was. ( I used the stock photo because my pot is a mess.)

So I slap it all over my hair and leave it for 20 min like the directions told me to and washed it out. I didn't really think anything of it until I realised that my hair has formed nice waves rather than the mis-matched curls I normally get but just straighten out!

However even though I've used a strongly scented shampoo my hair smells like I've rolled around on a pub floor! This is due to the stout (beer) in the product and is a bit of a put off for me. I know it has lots of herbs in it but beer is the main smell and at £8.30 (plus postage as this is only available from online or mail order) I think I'll give it a miss next time and try something else.

NOTD - OPI Malaysian Mist

Malaysian Mist is a nice tan/nude colour. It does take quite a few coats for a good even colour but it repays with minimal chipping. Which is pretty good considering I work with hot water and normally polishes tend to just flake off no matter how many layers are on or even a base and top coat.

Awkward First Post

So I've been wanting to start a beauty blog for a while but never really knew if I was interesting enough! But I've been getting more and more into make up and other beauty items so thought I might as well jump in and get started.
