M.A.C Peacocky is HERE!!!!

Hey Beauties!

My m.a.c order is here!....

I know the picture isn't so clear, i quickly took a picture with my iphone just before i was heading out. The colours are absolutely lovely!! I think i've selected the perfect colours for me. Well the thing is, i placed my order online, as you may see from the picture above. I hadn't seen any of the colours for real before placing the order, so i was quite specticle...but i have to say i'm pleasantly happy with my order. The kissable lipcolours are also quite nice shades, i haven't tried them on yet, just blogging away here at my workplace...ssshhhhh...hehe.... anyway i cant wait to get home to my box full of joy, lol. But...i have to admit something....i couldnt help regretting that i didnt get the mega metal shadow in 'Unflappable', soo...while i was on the net...i couldn't help popping onto the m.a.c's website and place an order for the mega metal shadow :-/ . NO MORE SHOPPING FOR ME!!! Lol.

January Favourites!

Hey Beauties!

I can't January flew by so quick! This month i have not been extremely experimental because i dont know why but i had quite a bad break out on my cheek recently :( things like that put me off from wearing make-up for layering too much mae-up on.

For skincare my favourites have been:
  • My Clarisonic Mia, which has helped exfoliate the dead skin the benzoyl peroxide has caused for the duration i have been applying it.
  • Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5%, which has helped dry my exisiting break outs and has caused the healing to be much quicker.
  • Origins White Tea cleanser, i've been using this with my mia, i feel as though its gentle enough to cleanse my face when i have break outs, it doesnt irritate my skin and helps it feeling fresh and clean.
  • Origins Modern Fricition Gentle Dermabrasion, i use this once a week to exfoliate just for a deep cleanse.
Make-up wise my favourites have been:
  • For Foundation i've been using my M.A.C Pro  Longwear NC20, i just find this foundation helps cover the acne scars and gives me the coverage i need at the moment.
  • For concealer i've been using my M.A.C Select cover in NW25, great for my under eye circles.
  • For eyeshadows, i've been keeping it neutral and have been using the Too Faced Natural eye kit to change up the eye look.
  • For blush i've been using M.A.C warm soul mineralized blush.
  • For lips i've been using Carmex lip balm and M.A.C Creme D Nude.
These are honestly the only products i have been reaching for this month. Simple and lazy make-up for me, lol.

Whats your favourites for this moth?

Lots of Love....

Upsetting Ramble :(

Hey Beauties!

Last night i had watched Wayne Goss's new 'worst product of the month', suprisingly i found out the Inglot, a polish makeup store, has risen the prices of the products. Heres a low down of what i remember from the last time i went to purchase something, the 10 pan freedom palette was £35, the 4 pan freedom palette was £18 (i think, dont quote me).

But it is confirmed that the 10 pan freedom palette has risen it price to £54!!!! That's an extra £19 on the price tag!!! What the hell???? I understand the tax has risen here in the U.K upto 20% but even saying that according to the tax rise it should have been near the cost to £43....

Can anyone explain why it has added £19 more to the price tag instead of £8???

Putting that to a side, they have introduced a 20 pan freedom palette costing £150??? Huh? If 10 eyeshadows cost £54 we should be multiplying that by 2 to get the price right? So that would be £108?? But no its £150?? Adding £42 extra to the price tag??

Inglot have some explaining to do because im utterly confused not mentioning how upset i am :(
I understand their products are outstanding and were at such a reasonable price hence probably why they were doing so well as a company. But what about their customers who were on budget and turned to them for extremely good products for a reasonable price?

I personally think that this has put me off from buying from Inglot :(
