Lily Lolo goodies!

Last week Lily Lolo offered a discount of 10% with any order and as I was coming to the end of my current pot of foundation I thought why not try Lily Lolo again! 



I ordered 'In the Buff' foundation and 'Caramel' concealer.



I've had sample pots of both of these products so I know they'll be the perfect shade for me. The foundation is priced at £12.49 and the concealer is £7.29 and they are available direct from Lily Lolo.

Sale hauling!

I went sale shopping yesterday and had a lis of things I wanted to get my hands of if I could. I wanted the Benefit Powda Wowza set and the Crescent Row perfume set but like online, Boots had sold out. If you know a website that has either in stock please let me know! As well as these I wanted to see if I could find some baby clothes for my friend and cousin who are having babies next year and here is what I came back with.

Christmas round up!

Just a quick post to say that I hope you all had a fab christmas and got loads of nice presents!

I had a quiet one like usual and the day flew by. I'm going to do a quick christmas present post in a couple of days or so just to show you what I got. Some people don't like these posts but I always like reading other peoples!

Today is being spent lounging about watching Harry Potter and then Shrek 2 later, whilst eating a mountain of party food, yummy!

Tomorrow me and my mum are going sale shopping in Lincoln so hopefully I'll find what I want. I want the Benefit Cresecnt Row giftset and the Powda Wowza box which are both sold out everywhere online, please link me to sites if they're not. I also need to take back a skirt my mum got me as it's too big.

Link me to any good online sales and to your christmas present and sale goody posts!

Haul - Avon

As you probably know I love mineral foundation and Avon do a great one which I keep rebuying (review here) and it was time for another purchase so here is what I got:


Mineral foundation x2 (shell and nude)
Nail polish (Mercury Metal)
Enchanted mascara (free gift)


Swatches:
Top: Shell
Bottom: Nude


I normally buy the foundation in Shell but recently I've found it's a little too dark for me so I decided to buy one in Nude too. The main difference is that Shell is pinker and Nude is more yellow but I think it'll suite me quite well.

The mascara was also a nice surprise to receive and I'll certainly try it out very soon!

Review - Bellapierre

I hadn't really heard of Bellapierre until recently and I certainly hadn't tried any of their products. They are a mineral make up brand that sells products for the face, lips, eyes, body and more!

In last months Feel Unique Beauty Box I received a Bellapierre shimmer powder in a gorgeous smokey silver, Whesek. 


This is very similar to Barry M's dazzle dust and at first I as a little confused as to how to use it. It is a powder and I applied it to my eye lids as a shadow but it quickly disappeared. I then wondered if I could turn it into a cream shadow by adding a little water to a little powder and ta-dah!


The shade intensified and it lasted all day! It's simply amazing!

The bad thing is that I think the shade I got is discontinued but alot of others are available on their website and they're priced at £12.99!
