Beauty Wants From Across The Pond or My Fantasy Shopping Bag

I don't know about you but I spend ages drooling over websites such as Sephora, and even Ulta, and Walgreens playing fantasy shopping, safe in the knowledge I can look but not touch, or buy lol so I thought I'd do a little post showing you some of the goodies I would buy if I could that is ;)

First up this baby the Sephora Floral Funk Eyeshadow Palette - Warm - purely for the packaging which remind me of a Louis Vuitton bag I have :)

More eyeshadows - Kat Von D True Romance Eyeshadow Palette - Ludwig - love this lady and I've always wanted to try her eyeshadow palettes

Sephora by OPI Urban Ballerina Mini Collection - I only have one Sephora by OPI colour and I love it - this kit has some great neutrals and a lovely purple

Hello Kitty for Sephora Brush Set - I love the full Hello Kitty range all in pinks and silvers

Marc Jacobs Lola Perfume Rollerballs - a fabulous idea why don't we have Rollerballs in the UK?

L'Oreal HIP Eyeshadows  - I love these I have a few I've got from swaps but I really like the line but again we don't have it in the UK :( I have noticed some of it is now part of the Studio Secrets line so there may be hope

Physicians Formula Happy Glow &; Mood Boosting Blush - I saw this on the lovely Michelle's blog and it is gorgeous


Does anyone else ever play fantasy shopping?

Repressing An Eyeshadow With Surprising Results

As you know I received the lovely Physicians Formula Baked Oatmeal Eyeshadow Trio for the lovely Holly earlier this week - I had a little play but then disaster struck I dropped it - thankfully only the darker shade broke but the dome section completely severed from the rest of the eyeshadow (see can see a little bit in this FOTD post what happened) So I managed to retrieve the dome section and I decided to repress it - I broke it down into powder and since it was a mineralized baked shadow I used Lipglossipings method using alcohol and biosilk - success :) the only thing was I think I might have pressed it a bit too hard or my fabric wasn't thick enough hence the lovely imprint of a 10 pence piece lol

Blog Sale Goodies

I've had a couple of parcels over the last day or so - some super goodies from some blog sales :) First of all I bought a nail varnish (yes another one) from the lovely Helen from Just Nice Things - the fabulous OPI Cozu Melted In The Sun and then I bought this gorgeous Physicians Formula Baked Oatmeal Eyeshadow Trio from the lovely Holly - Yummy Mummy's new blog sale blog :) I've already had a little play with this and I love it :)
Thanks to both of you xx

NYX Goodies :)

This week I have managed to get my hands on a few NYX goodies. This brand is really hard to get hold of in the UK but thankfully Love Make Up has started to sell a few bits.
First of all I got one of the 10 Color Eyeshadow Pallets in Strike A Pose. These shadows are super smooth and you get a good range of colours




Then I got 2 of the Ultra Pearl Mania Eyeshadow Dusts in Mocha Pearl (Left) and Mink Pearl (Right)


One of the Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencils in Horse Raddish


and two lipsticks Harmonica (Left) and Mute (Right)



I also ordered a lipgloss which wasn't included in the package - I am currently chasing that up :(

I am really impressed with the goodies I got and I would love to try more NYX, and more US drugstore brands such as Physicians Formula and L'oreal HIP so if anyone from the USA is willing I would love to do a make up swap - I can get my hands on most UK brands so if your interested leave a comment or email me at the address in the sidebar
