Best Beauty Buy of the Month

Hey Guys :D I apologise for being Missing in action, this semester at university has been so stressful!

I hope you guys are all good :D.

So each month I have decided that I am going to a best beauty buy post, which will consist of me sharing with you guys my best beauty product which I purchased in that specific month. 

 Because were only at the beginning of February I will start with January :)

My best beauty Buy for January was the MAC pigment eye shadow in shade ''Teal'' I've always wanted a peacock inspired eye shadow, I think it does wonders for the eyes.

 Can I just say this eye shadow is amazing, because it is a pigment eye shadow it is highly concentrated and moulds into the skin so you do not have to top it up or put many layers on.

 The pigment eye shadows come in many colours ranging from pink to brown,I definitely recommend this eye shadow.

   The only downside to this eye shadow is if you are not careful it can get everywhere, but this is just a minor issue. Its still FABULOUS 

MAC pigment eye shadow £15.50 

You can purchase this product from any Selfridges and House of Fraser store in the UK 

If you live outside the UK this product can be purchased from the MAC website:)

NARS Lipgloss

Hey Guy's and Gal's, as much as I eat, sleep and live for makeup can you believe I have never tried NARS makeup!! 

One of my new years resouloutions was to try a different brand of makeup, ( NARS :) ) 

Today I went to my local Selfridge's store and headed straight to the NARS counter. O.M.G why have I only just discovered this makeup brand, as soon as I walked in I was fascinated by all the beautiful colours, the way how the ladies working in there left me to browse and as soon as I looked confused they came over and asked if I needed any help :) perfect!

 Because it was my first time buying NARS I decided that I was only going to buy something small, so I chose " Perfect Match Lip Gloss " in the shade '' Angelika '' which leaves your lips a cotton candy colour, sparkling silver and gold.

I usually always wear a lipstick underneath a lipgloss because I think that lipgloss has a extremely thin texture, I was so surprised with NARS that this lipgloss looked perfect without needing  to put lipstick underneath RESULT! 

I am so impressed with my beauty buy you guys definitely need to purchase this product.

This lipgloss even has the matching blusher :D  may I just add that these lipgloss's are Limited edition so unfortunately they will not be around forever, that's even more of a reason for you to go on a beauty splurge. 

These are the Shades in the collection; 

•Albatross (luminous glow)

•Angelika (cotton candy pink with gold and silver sparkle)

•Oasis (sparkling pink champagne)

•Super Orgasm (peachy pink with gold glitter)

•Luster (sheer golden apricot)

This lipgloss is available to buy from your local selfridges store at £17.50  or you can purchase it from the NARS website.

What's going on with me update :D

Hey :), so as you guys now I went to see Drizzy Drake on Friday, Let me just say I loved every moment of it :D:D:D:D ( He didn't call me up on stage though :( ) Needless to say I had a FABULOUS time I love him 10 times more now, ( yes I am a proud groupie )

Sadly I lost my camera :'( so all the pictures I had taken were in vain.

You may or may not know that I have a partner, But things are not going so well with us at the moment he just doesn't appreciate me, last night I was sitting in my bed crying feeling sorry for myself then I thought to myself, '' I'm to fly to be feeling like this boy's suck '' so ive decided that I am not going to shed another tear for him and you know the saying'' If you love someone let them go if they come back that's how you know'' 

I am back to university tommorow which I am so glad about I will be able to take my mind off things :).

So how are you guys? Do you have anything you'd like to share or perhaps some relationship advice I would love to hear from you :D 

Sorry if I've bored you to death with this post but I see you guys as my friends and its nice for you to get a little insight into my life, so feel free to comment away :D

Love you guys

Pink Lipstick

Hey my beautiful followers/ viewers.

I really apologise for being M.I.A I haven's been feeling very well :(, but it feels so good to be back :).. 

So I've been wearing MAC Girl about town lipstick for quite a while and I decided that I wanted a    more natural look on the lip ( Girl about town can be very in your face, especially when you wear it with lip liner like me Lol ).

 I really liked the Pink Friday lipstick that Nicki Minaj brought out with MAC ( Unfortunately this is not being sold any more), I've been searching around for that same colour lipstick everywhere.

I've always thought to myself will that colour be a bit to bright for me, oh what the heck I found the colour guys and can I just say. O.M.G it looks fabulous. To all my ebony sisters if you feel that you cannot wear a bright/pale pink lipstick YES YOU CAN!!!! :D

I brought the brand ''17'' Lasting Fix shade Dreamy 

Here is the link where you can purchase it from if you want a change of lipstick I highly recommend this one guys. It is a bargain at £4.29 aswell ' PERFECT'

http://www.boots.com/en/17-Lasting-Fix-Lipstick_925988/

MAC also do a pink lipstick '' Pink Nouveau ''   which I have purchased before but I found that it was  Quite Matte and very pale which wasn't the look I was trying to achieve. But it may be to your guys liking, so here's the link and you guys can check it out for yourselves :D.

Choosing the right foundation

Choosing the ''RIGHT'' Foundation can be extremely difficult and daunting, I have been wearing makeup since I was 14 (I used to sneak behind my mom's back and wear it ha-ha).I am now 19 years old and I started wearing the correct foundation and the correct colour when I was 18 ( Shocking I know!! ). When I started out wearing Foundation I used Maybeline Dream Matte Mousse in the shade cocoa, My best friend introduced me to this as she used to wear Dream Matte Mousse in the shade Sun Beige. I thought finally I can wear a decent foundation which is the right shade for my skin tone ''perfect'', it was a bargain also at £4.99. This was the worst makeup Faux Pax EVER!! 

 The foundation was thick, it looked caked on although I would only use a generous amount, the foundation looked caked on and made my face look ( What's the correct word to use ''PLASTIC'' ). I thought that the foundation just did not agree with my skin, But the same thing happened to my friend.. Anyway needless to say we moved on.

I went into MAC Makeup Cosmetics with a completely blank face so a Make up artist could match me up with my correct colour, I wanted a foundation that gave me medium to full coverage and made me look flawless. 

The makeup artist picked out Studio Fix Fluid SPF15 Foundation in the shade NW47, This made my face look absoulutley perfect, flawless and not oily I cannot stress to you guys how good this foundation is ( Except that I mention it in nearly every post ) I have now been using this foundation for over a year. I always get asked by people what foundation I am wearing and send them off to MAC to purchase it themselves. ( I could have shares in this company haha)

If you are looking for a foundation that gives you a flawless,medium coverage and makes you look photo ready. Studio Fix is the right foundation it comes in a range of shades to suit all skin tones. 

You can purchase this foundation from any MAC Cosmetics store, In the UK it is available from House of Fraser and Selfridge's Here is a link to website so you can purchase it Online :) 

  http://www.maccosmetics.co.uk/product/spp.tmpl?CATEGORY_ID=CAT21853&PRODUCT_ID=PROD66484

Here is a picture of me wearing Studio Fix Fluid accompanied with; Mac Blot Powder pressed   in shade DEEP DARK £17.50 and MAC Powder Blush in shade DESERT ROSE £17.00.
