Makeup and Skincare Haul

Hello! So I asked on Twitter the other week if you would like to see a haul post and I got replies with people saying they would love to! I actually went through everything I have bought recently and there's quite a lot, so I'm going to split this into two parts! This one is Makeup and Skincare and during the next couple of days I will post up a Hair and Clothing one so keep a look out.


I'll start with makeup and a couple of online orders which I made!





I bought the Millie Mackintosh false eyelashes in Mayfair! These look so pretty but I haven't worn them yet! They do come with lash glue but I had heard great things about the Duo Lash glue so I ordered that to try. When it arrived though, it had leaked everywhere so I couldn't use it, so I haven't tried the lashes yet!


I also ordered the This Works Perfect Look Skin Miracle which is a tinted skin perfecter which is meant to leave skin radiant and hydrated whilst adding a subtle tint. It also contains lots of good things for the skin! The tube says it can be worn alone or under makeup. I have used this once and it left my skin looking okay but it went streaky on my cheeks and wouldn't blend for some reason, so I removed it. I will definitely be trying it again though because it may have just been me applying it in a hurry!



The last thing I ordered was the Kevin Aucoin Sculpting Powder. I don't actually contour that much but that's because I didn't have a product I could use to contour! Since having this, I still don't contour that much but I like that I have it for those days I want to contour as it is such a lovely product! It is the best contour shade I have ever seen.




Next is something I have wanted for a little while now and it's the Mac eye shadow in Cranberry. This is definitely not a colour I would have thought of buying myself as it's a plum, red, pink colour! I saw it on a couple of blogs and it looked so pretty so I bought it and I really like it! It's such a beautiful colour and surprisingly easy to wear.



I love Chanel Rouge Coco Shine lipsticks! If you saw my 100 followers giveaway, you will know as that was the prize! I have wanted the colour Evasion for ages and I finally bought it! It is an absolutely gorgeous peachy, pink colour which is very hydrating and shiny. I have been wearing this quite a lot.




Lastly is a skincare brand. I bought the Nelsons Pure and Clear face wipes, face wash and moisturiser! I am still unsure about these. They smell and feel amazing on my skin but I have broken out since using them! I'm not sure if it's a good breakout and the products are drawing out impurities or whether it's bad. I hope it's not bad because apart from that I love the products! From today I am stopping using them for a while to see if my skin calms down.



That is all for the makeup and skincare haul! Keep a look out for my hair and clothing haul soon!



If you would like a full review on any of these products then please let me know as I would be more than happy to write one!



Have you tried any of these products?

My first rambling post!

Hello! All of my posts are beauty related and I thought it would be fun to start posting more personal, lifestyle, talky posts so you can get to know me better. 



I am getting so excited for Christmas! I have bought a couple of presents for people already and finished most of my Christmas list, although I normally keep adding to it right up until Christmas! I was thinking about doing a Christmas Gift Ideas series of posts which I have started writing but it's actually pretty hard to come up with ideas.


I started the 30 day shred last Monday! Tomorrow is my last day of level one and I am really enjoying it! It's not easy but it's only 20 minutes per day which makes it super easy to fit in and even if it's hard, I know it wont be for too long. I took my measurements before I started so I can see how far I come when I finish. I had been wanting to do the 30 day shred for ages but had never gotten round to it! I then saw on Twitter that Georgina was starting it Monday so I thought it would be fun to start with someone else! She has written a post about it here!

I'm off to London on Sunday! I am so excited. I'm pretty interested in becoming a makeup artist when I leave college so I am going up to a makeup school to have a chat with them about the course! My mum and I are staying overnight so we have plenty of time for some shopping as well! I love Oxford Street for shopping and I also want to go to Westfield this time.

I am considering buying a DSLR camera! I have been looking online at the Canon 600D and I am going to have a look at some in shops to see which ones I like, because they are quite a bit of money! If you have any recommendations then let me know.


If you have read my Blog Loving Tag you will have seen that I have a Youtube channel. I really want to start making videos one day as I think it will be really fun! I love it when blogs have Youtube channels as well but I am nervous and I think it would be quite scary! I have filmed a couple of videos before and it's been really fun to film them and edit them but the thought of posting them online is worrying!


Let me know if you like these kind of posts! It was actually pretty fun to just write. Also if you have any questions you would like to ask me then let me know so I can answer them in future chatty posts!
