Mini London Beauty Haul

Oh how I've missed blogging, its been what... 5 days? It feels like I've been away for 5 years! If you haven't already figured out from the title, I took a little trip to london and missed college, how rebellious. The soul purpose being to see the magnificent Taylor Swift in concert at the O2. It was amazing, spectacular, life changing... okay maybe not the last one, but I'm a huge fan so I guess you could say it was. 

Fan girling out of the way. I did manage to pick up a few beauty bits whilst on my travels; though not exactly a mountain of goodies, I thought it was worth a quick post to provide me with an opportunity to explain my absence. 

Fragrance Direct Mini Haul

I think this is the absolute longest I've ever gone without blogging... apart from when I was travelling the US for 2 weeks. College sucks and I have been trying to catch up and revise for internal exams that the college ever so kindly decided to bestow upon us. 

Anyway, I was recently browsing through Fragrance Direct and purchased a few bits just to keep my beauty obsession alive. Now, I won't really go into too much detail on the individual products themselves as I'm sure reviews will pop up some time soon. 

Mini Boots Haul

Recently, I have been trying to pull myself away from boots because that store is like a bloody drug to me! 

Today, i caved. I failed. But I did get some good deals so Im going to say it makes up for it..kind of. 

Purchases at Harvey Nichols Beauty Bazaar

Watching an interview with Miranda Kerr's make up artist, Noni Smith, I had my heart set on Nars velvet Matte lip pencil in 'Red Square' which is a classic orange based red that suits all skin types and enhances the whiteness of your teeth which is ALWAYS an added bonus! 

My other purchase was the Mac's Cremesheen glass in 'Double Dare' I immediately got drawn to this colour as it reflected Mac's lustre lipstick in 'plumful' which is one of my favourites. With this in mind, I wanted to rush home and layer the two to enhance that warm Berry colour, it may not be a summer shade but I was quite content with the purchases I made! 

Here are the swatches:- 

Left- Mac's lustre lipstick in 'plumful' layered with Mac's Cremesheen glass in 'double dare' 

Middle- Mac's Cremesheen glass in 'double dare' 

Right- Nars velvet matte lip pencil in 'red square' 

Love,
