MAC Lipsticks

So over the last two months I have made two cheeky visits to a MAC store, which is rare for me to do as the closest one is an hour away:( So I have been wanting to purchase a MAC lipstick for awhile now, so when I paid a visit to the MAC store I picked one up straight away. Then a month later I had to go back and buy another as I adore them.

Left-Creme Cup, Right- Fabby

So the first one I bought was Fabby which is a frost MAC lipstick and the second one is Creme Cup which is a cremesheen. 

MAC Fabby is a light soft subtle pink with lavender/mauve and a gold shimmer, however it doesn't look shimmery when applied. This is opaque on my lips and it's a subtle colour that it would be suitable to wear on any occasion. I would definitely buy this colour again!

MAC Creme Cup is a nude pink which has blue undertones. It again is opaque on the lips and is suitable for everyday wear. This lipstick has great pigmentation and lasts long on the lips I find. I would definitely definitely buy this again. 

Let me know your thoughts and opinions on MAC lipsticks and what ones you recommend in the comments below. But for now...

Zuri Chapter Eight

Before now, I had never heard of Zuri Skincare and sadly all I can tell you about this skin care range is that it is by sleek makeup. However, now I know this I hope I find it as good as their makeup and not a let down. 

Just a bit of information that I have found through browsing the web. Zuri skincare names each of their products as chapters which I think is so cute! There is at least nine different chapters which can be bought from fragrance direct. The retail price for these products range from £14.99 to £5.99, however a lot cheaper from fragrance direct. In their skincare range I know it includes the following: a Face mask, Balancing toner, Night serum, Body buffer, Muslim cloth,Skin tone corrector, Blemish pen and Skin cleanser. There may be more but don't hold me to that. Last thing about the brand that I want to say is that I find the packaging very professional looking, let me know if you agree?

So back to Zuri Chapter Eight.. This is a brightening skin renew face mask. (complexion corrector brightener). 

This product says: 'A multi-purpose product that purifies and mattifies the skin by absorbing sebum as well as skin's impurities. The Alga light, an algae extract, is a skin brightening agent delivered from red algae. It controls UV induced darkening by supresssing factors that allow the process to occur. The mask also possessess microbial properties, and is also highly moisturising.' 

Well I cannot give my opinion about how the product works yet so I can neither say if I agree or disagree yet. As I feel using the product once doesn't give a far judgement. However, when I did use this product I did find it mattifying and I didn't find that it irritated my skin. 

So last few things. I may do a follow up to this post once I have got to use this product so that I can really review this for you guys. Another thing is that I am also contemplating as whether I should buy any other products from this brand, so let know your thoughts in the comments below. But for now...

Essie Bikini So Teeny

As you saw/read in a previous blog post I picked up Essie Bikini So Teeny from Fragrance Direct for £1.99 and I thought I'd show you a cheeky picture of this colour on my nails. 

I have been seeing on YouTube and reading people's blog posts about them buying this. Originally I wasn't going to purchase this, I was thinking erm that's not really my kind of colour but then I looked at my nail varnish collection and thought wait I can't really think that so I bought it. This colour is a powdery blue.. sky blue maybe and I'm not going to lie when I first applied it I thought nah this will not last on my nails long I don't really like the colour. However, my thoughts changed on day two of wearing this polish. For some reason I have no began to grow to love this shade I think it's because I haven't ever really had a blue shade between dark blue and baby blue. So would I recommend this? Yes would be my answer. 

Leave your opinions below I would love to hear them, but for now

Essie Go Ginza

So in my previous blog I mentioned some purchases from Fragrance Direct and that I would do an individual blog post on the nail varnishes I bought. So the first as you can guess by the title is Go Ginza by Essie which I picked up for £1.99. 

I am absolutely adoring this nail varnish colour right now, it in my opinion is gorgeous and it's turned into my current favey! As you can tell this colour is a vary pale lilac/baby pink colour. Its stunning! I would definitely recommend this shade. yes yes yes from me!

The main reason for these mini blog posts that will be happening is basically so I can give you guys an idea of what the colour looks like on the nails in case you are umming and arrring over whether to buy this. Let me know your opinions in the comments below or any shade that you think I should purchase from Essie.

FRAGRANCE DIRECT HAUL

So as you guys know from my previous blog post I have been loving fragrance direct's website. I have made two purchases within two weeks, and I will need to stop myself in the future as this is feeding my nail varnish addiction. So from this I bet that you can guess what I bought... yes nail varnish... et oh!

So firstly, for all of you that don't know what fragrance direct's website is here's a summary: Its a website that sells skincare products, cosmetics/makeup, perfume, hair care products, tanning products and bath and body products at great prices! - thumbs up for that poor summary. 

So I said that I made two purchases, the first purchase I made from this website I only purchased one thing for myself and that is an Essie nail varnish in go ginza, the other things I purchased was to put in a friends birthday hamper so they sadly do not feature in this post as I forgot to take a picture before I made hamper. 

So why do I love fragrance direct so much ey? I love the fact I can pick up an Essie nail varnish for £1.99 because I'm a cheap skate. ( Is that the right saying?) Anyhow... On my second purchase I bought three other Essie nail varnishes in bikinni so teeny, maximillion strasse her and navigate her which I will individual posts on in the future.  As well as the Essie nail varnishes I also bought Zuri Chapter Eight Brightening skin renew face mask which I may do a blog post on in the future I am not to sure. 

Anyhow fortunately/unfortunately, that is all I bought recently. I'm sure I will be purchasing again in the future so I will keep you informed if I do. Let me know in the comments below if you have used this website and what you have bought, I'd love to hear peoples opinions. 

Until next time, love & peace, han x

SINFUL?

Well about a month a go, I had a sinful visit to boots...

A sinful visit to boots means that I had a trip to Boots where I made a purchase of some nail varnish that I didn't really need but that I bought anyway as I just couldn't resist (I'm an addict) and due to the fact I needed cheering up. So whilst on this visit to Boots I noticed the brand Sinful colors and they caught me eye due to the price £1.99 so I picked up 8. 

So the first one I picked up was Verbena-954 which is the purple nail varnish in the picture above, sadly I dont know any other way to describe this colour other than purple. It's darker than a lilac colour but not a dark purple. The second one I picked up was Island Coral, this is a pinky/orange shade (basically coral then) which is a great colour for summer. The next one I got is Pink forever, I love this shade of pink its not to bright or hot pink its gorgeous. I mainly purchased this shade due to the fact my Barry M pink that I bought went missing:(, so I will have to repurchase that. The last one featuring in the picture above that I got was Unicorn and it is a pastel yellow great for the summer and spring.

So from this picture the first one displayed on your left is Mint Apple and I adore this nail. This nail varnish is a mint green colour with a hint of shimmer in it, gorgeous colour for spring I would say. The next colour is my favourite as I adore the colour green and it is Pistache which is a pistachio green and I love it love it love it! The next one I got is Why not which is a dark blue (picture shows colour well), I don't really wear dark blue like this so I picked it up thinking I'd give it a try. And last but not least is my second fav and that is Cinderella, I love the name of this nail varnish its so cute. This colour is a pale baby blue with a hint of shimmer in it and I think its a perfect spring colour. 

Let me know in the comments below whether you have used this brand of nail varnish? or what your favourite colour from the ones I've purchased. I would love to hear your opinions. Also, if you want me to do swatches of these colours in a different blog post, let me know in the comments. I would happily do this it gives me a post to do. Hope you are well, speak soon!

Until next time, love & peace, han x
