What have I been up to the past week? Taking advantage of the 3 for 2 in Boots, listening to Marina and the Diamonds on repeat and catching up with old friends. Perfect!
I treated myself to some new products that had been recommended to me. The Real Techniques blush brush recommendation came courtesy of Caroline and I love it! I get a much better result by using this brush, a nice even sweep of colour and the brush doesn't break all my blush apart like my old cheapy one did. Well worth the tenner I paid for it.
I picked up the L'Oreal Super Liner on a bit of a whim, I went for golden black which has flecks of gold in it. It is easy to apply and comes with a little brush. Not tested to see if it stays on for 24 hours like the packaging says but it lasted pretty well.
Ultrabland from Lush has made a huge difference to my skin in the short time I have been using it. It gets rid of all the traces of make up on my face and has helped to sort out the dry patched around my nose and mouth. I think it is a tad pricey at £6 for the small tub and £10 for the bigger size but it does such a good job I will be buying this again when I run out.
I gave in to the hype and bought a L'Oreal Caresse Lipstick in Sweet Berry. It doesn't have great staying power but leaves behind a nice tint. This shade is great for everyday wear and I have been wearing it to work, nice and subtle and doesn't dry out. I also bought the Super Liner Ultra Precision as an alternative to my Lancome Artliner. It's nice and dark and long lasting but it not as easy to apply or as black as my Lancome liner. It is half the price though and money is tight at the moment so I will be using all of it and trying not to cave in and spend so much on high end make up.
I went to the cinema on Wednesday to finally see The Hunger Games which I loved. Quite true to the books and rather fun/teen not too much to think about, I also love Peeta now and am making loads of bread/camouflage based puns about him. I wore my Topshop midi dress, Topshop jacket and Missguided scarf to the cinema, really need to wear my midi more, it's so comfy and easy to throw on. I also rediscovered my F21 arrowhead earrings that I forgot all about and have been wearing them a lot the past week.
I've had a horrid migraine for a few days so I've been at home sleeping and watching Buffy in my Sunnydale t-shirt to make it better but managed to see my friends on Saturday and drink a few pomegranate vodkas mmmm!
P.S. Don't forget that I have a giveaway where you can win £50 to spend on FYFO and I'm selling a few lovely things over on ebay
