Mini Collection 2000 Haul + Mini Review.

Today i have just a mini Collection 2000 haul. All of these items were purchased for me, by my boyfriend from Morrison's. 

The first product i picked up is this little beauty. 

Its called "Cream Puff. Moisturising Lip Cream" in the shade Cotton Candy 1. 

It is a pink raspberry colour and has the consistency of a thick lip gloss when first applied to your lips. However, once applied it changes into the consistency of a Lip Stick. 

This retails for around £2.99

I really love the colour and i think it suits my skin tone. It stays on for a long time and does feel very moisturising. The only downside is that after a while it can make your lips look very dry, this can be easily solved by putting a bit of clear lip gloss or lip balm over the top. I would recommend patting it on with your finger or the colour will transfer to your clear product. 

The next thing was actually a freebie. It is the "Extreme 25 hour Felt Tip Liner". If you purchased their new mascara then this came free. I'm not sure if this is the offer in any store, but its the offer Morrison's currently have on. I chose the colour purple because i have tons of black eyeliners and i just don't need anymore. You also have the option of blue, but i much prefer the purple with my hazel eyes.

As it describes on the packaging, it is a felt tip liner. As you can see it is fairly pigmented and you can make any thickness of lines. It is a toughy to remove though, so it definitley lives up to the '24 hour' labelling. This product goes on so easy. It is very similar to the ELF felt tip liner, which i have in black 

This is their new mascara. It promises to Provide 14x more volume with a single swoop. The brush is made from rubber. 

                                       

Apologies for the blurry picture. For some reason it just wouldn't focus. You can just tell that i have very fine eyelashes. 

 This is how well the mascara has lengthened my eyelashes. You don't need a lot and this only took 1 application. It does not look clumpy or too thick. This is definitely going to be my new go to mascara, and new favourite. Strangely i cannot find this on the Boots or Superdrug website and i have thrown away my receipt but i think this retails for £4 or £5.


Also, i decided to jump on the band waggon with the Lasting Perfection Concealer. I don't really use concealer that often so i just thought id give this a go. My shade is 1 Fair.

After using this twice, i don't see they hype that much. To me, it is just the same as any other concealer i have tried, tested and hated. I am going to persevere with it. When i first apply it to my skin and blend it in, it just seems to sit there and not blend properly. If i keep trying to blend it in anymore, i am just going to be removing the product. The 2nd time i used it, i blended it a little and then left it to see if it would sink in to my skin. I did, and it looks OK and matches my skin tone. It eventually does what a concealer is supposed to do. I am going to keep trying with it, i usually put it on top of my foundation and primer. However next time i will apply it before i apply my foundation. This retails for around £4.19

Mac Eyeshadow - Moonflower

I am in love with Ebay at the moment. My most recent purchase is this beautiful Mac Eyeshadow in the shade Moonflower. Now, im no expert on Mac, but i do know that you have to be very carful when ordering products online as i have come across a few fakes. However, i have googled the death out of this item and have found its a discontunued shade. Am i right? The seller added in the description that it is 100% genuine, and she is only seeling it cheap because she wants rid as she is having a huge clearout. She also had over 2000 possitive feedback results and most of her other selling items were high end products. 

Iv taken a good look at the pagkaging after watching and reading blogs about how to spot Mac fakes, and this one looks pretty geniune to me. What do you guys think?

The colour is a dark grey - blue with slight silver shimmer to it. 

Perfect for adding a little something to a smokey eye. 

I tried so many times to get a shot of the name, but my camera refused me tonight. This is the best i could get. Sorry guys. 

Please ignore my amazing jammies :) 

This is the eyeshadow swatched. The first is it swatched straight from pot to finger to arm. The second is it blended out slightly. 

When swatched it is a little lighter than it is in the pan, but it is still such a pretty colour.

Even if it isnt a real mac eyeshadow,(im pretty certain its real) im still in love with it.

17 Nail Polish Review.

My First Review :) 

I recently purchased a new 17 Fast Finish Nail Polish. In the colour Revenge. 

Im quite a fan of the brand 17, avaliable at Boots. I have plenty of Nail Polishes, i have tried the foundations, pressed powders and a couple of their eyeshaddows. 

I can honetly say for the price, i am a fan.

So when i picked up this Nail Polish i was expecting it to be as wonderful as all the rest i had, appart from their magnatised range. I will do a seperate blog post for those. 

The colour is a lovely dusty purple, with a little shimmer. 

 The colour swatch that boots.com shows is a little more pink
However looking at the rest of the swatches online and comparing them i think that "Gemstone" looks more true to colour, so maybe they have the swatches mixed up.

I apologise for the bad lighting, it used my Blackberry to take the pictures, next time i will use my digital camera so you can see the colour better. 

This is after 2 coats, and a base coat. 

I really like the colour, it is very wearable and dries so quickly. 

My only issue is that i have had it on for around 2 hours. I have washed and tidied up the house and it is already chipped. 

I found that with the magnetised range that they chipped very easy too, even with a top coat.

However, i do tend to change my Nail Polish every other day so i dont feel that big of a deal. 

For £2.99, you cant do any better, in my opinion.
