The Blog Made Me Buy It

I am a self confessed beauty magpie, pretty patterns, colours and packaging just sucks me in. I always find it so hard to walk away from a product that is a packaged perfectly. In this post I am going to tell you about a few items that I own, which I find it almost impossible to use as they are just to darn pretty and also that I most likely brought them because of a hype around them... oops.

Shy Girl

Hello there;

I was once one of the people who didn't see the point in a nude lip. My lips are already nude, why would I pay X amount of money for a lipstick to make my lips the same colour as they already are? 

Well I can safely say I am now converted. Shy Girl has changed my opinion 100%!

And I got that red lip, classic thing that you like

Hello there;

When it comes to my make up I am not the best at a smokey eye, in all honesty I don't play about with my twelve eyeshadow palettes enough. Yes twelve. So when I am going out and I want my make up to stand out, my go to item is my red lipsticks. Over the past few years I have grown quite a collection.  

In this post I am going to introduce you to six of my favourites. 

Beauty Favourites 2014

2014 is done! So here are my favourite beauty products from the past year. 

November Favourites

Hello there;

Thats it. We are officially into our final month of 2014. 

Where has this year gone?!

This months favourites are some good un's. Well I think so ;)

There are so many cleansers in the world. But which one is the best for you?! 

Here are the 3 cleansers that I use the most and what I use them for.

Lets dive straight in!

August Favourites

Hello there;

Another month gone, another monthly favourites. 

Not the best photo, god damn sun didn't want to play when I took this. 

MAC Lipstick Collection

Hello there;

I love the brand MAC, is it no secret. When I was brain storming what posts to do next, I thought AH a MAC lipstick collection I must have about 5 now. When it came round to it and I had 7. I was a little surprised. When did I buy the other 2?! Anyhow. Let me introduce you to my little black bullets.

Make Up Past & Present.

Hello there;

A couple of days ago, I took part in the #bbloggers chat on a Sunday. The topic was how your make up routine had evolved. So I went on a hunt for a old photo of my make up collection, and thank the lord (or maybe not), I found one. Please no laughing now, a girl had to learn. And this was from like 2008?

My First MAC

Hello there;

If you sit and think about it, can you remember that one item that really got your make up enthusiasm started? That one product that just imprinted on your heart and you knew from then it was a game changer?

I can remember mine. I had used make up for a while but it was always really cheap stuff. Like the old Avon teenage line, Colour Trend. Now don't get me wrong, Avon has really brought that line on now and some of the items are lovely. But back when I was 13/14 (over 10 years ago) it wasn't what it is now. 

When I was 16, I started working and with me still living at home and no bills to pay. All of the money was mine. I was really starting to get into my make up. Needing to look my best for the boys -wink wink- and I came across MAC. It took me a while to be brave enough to spend so much money on a item of make up. But when the Wonder Woman line was launched in Spring 2011 I caved. The rest as they say is history....

MAC Russian Red

Hello there;

Here is another new MAC lipstick I have purchased over the last month. Ive been a little MAC crazy lately. This post is dedicated to the beautiful Russian Red. I make it no secret that I am a massive Ruby Woo fan. But Russian Red is quickly become another one of my favourite red lipsticks. 

MAC Stereo Rose

Hello there;

A while back now, I went a little crazy and spent a small fortune in Meadowhall. I made it my mission whilst there to get my hands on Stereo Rose. And guess what, I bloody did it.

When I got into the MAC section of Debenhams, I asked the assistant and she said they only had 6 left. Then proceeded to ask me how many I wanted! 1 would certainly be enough. 

MAC Viva La Glam VI

Hello there;

This is my final MAC lipstick post for a while... or maybe not. Who knows :p

Anyhow this is another MAC lipstick I got off Cohorted, and I got Viva La Glam VI for £9! That is £4 cheaper than usual. Seriously guys, if you haven't checked out Cohorted before now, GO DO IT RIGHT NOW.

MAC Heroine

Hello there;

Ever brought a product and thought it was a really good idea at the time, but got home and realise you will never ever wear it? Yeah this me right now.

The thing is MAC Heroine is too pretty not to have in your collection.

MeadowHAUL

Hello there;

If you follow me on Twitter then you will know that on Sunday I went to Meadowhall with our Boylett. And what a lovely day we had. A VERY expensive day. But lovely none the less.

I spent wayyyyy to much but yano what, I work hard and go months without splurging. So I splurged and I splurged well! What I am about to show you isn't all of it either. I got me some new clothes too! Which I will be doing a separate post on when I can.

Sorry for it being a little blurry. My camera hated this for some reason. The little swine.

Mac Wish List

Hello there;

My wish lists are ever growing, so it seemed only fitting that I did mine now as "brand focused".

In entered my first one. Mac.

March Favourites

Hello there;

Another month that has flown before my very eyes! I do love March, I love spring. The later nights and earlier mornings. Whats not to love?

So shall we see what else I have been loving this month?

Get Ready With Me

Hello there;

If you follow and read my best friends blog, Charlotte Rose, the chances are you have already seen one of half of this post.

We wanted to do our first ever get ready with me post. But as girls do, we got too wrapped into talking and watching things on my laptop, we ended up having to rush getting ready. Which meant the photo side of it didn't really happen.

But here are some snaps I got from the night.

March Wish List

Hello there;

I did No Buy February and succeeded, feeling proud of myself. 

But as a beauty blogger, it is only natural I lusted after every make up product I came into contact with. 

Below are the top 10 I have been wanting the most out of the entire world ever.
