I went for an haircut today: I always go to Vidal Sasson in Princes Square 'cause I really like my stylist - and once you find someone you trust, stick with them. ;)






















(pardon my messy make up but had to rub off loads hair off my face - took pics with my phone and lighting is a bit rubbish. FYI Jacket: Diesel & Scarf: Zara)

After that, I went to Boots to pick up few essentials (nail varnish remover, shower gel, shampoo) and also the lipstick I mentioned in the previous post (they're still running 3for2 on make up so also got an eyeshadow and clear nail polish).





Revlon Just Bitten in Frenzy: I have attached a swatch below (the top segment is with balm and below without) and also a picture with Essie' nail polish so you can just yourself if they're a good match. :)

L'Oreal Chrome Intensityin Blue Jean: only have another blue eyeshadow from MAC Tartan Tale palette but don't like the finish; I will use this one to add a little sparkle.

I bought this nail polish off eBay and finally received today (with 2 bank holidays and Royal wedding, it took nearly 10 days. Outrageous!!!)
Anyway, what can you do...

I like it 75% I would say - it's probably too flat, would have liked a bit more sparkle but the shade is spot on.
I call it 'antique rose' but it's actually In Stitches by Essie; first time I try this brand - I like the consistency but the brush is tiny (ergo the mess).





Also, I spotted a lipstick which should match; gonna check it out tomorrow so fingers crossed and stay tuned... :)

House of Harlow

The quest for the coral earrings is over!





I chose this pair House of Harlow Tribal Style; they're maybe more orangy than I originally wanted but they will have to do... Not sure you can tell but orange part is leather - pretty cool, like texture, still natural material

More close ups...

I receeived a voucher from Emerald Street (which is the new website from Stylist magazine) for trying Murad Exfoliating Mask; I've heard lots of good things about this brand so this was good chance to give it a go.
Now, I thought the voucher was for a sample, instead it was for a full size pack, including 6 treatments. I also ordered some body cream ( I know I just stocked up on these but I use them morning & night so I will fast go through them).




P.s.: they also sent me plenty of samples - kudos on customer care!

EasterTreat

Easter bank holiday is here and as expected the high street is treating customer to the usual series of promotion and discount... And am I a fool to not take advantage of it? ;)

First stop, Boots with 3x2 on make up: Maybelline eye studio lasting drama gel eyeliner 24H - I've heard good things about this, especially about the brush; at the moment I'm using a clinique gel liner but £5.99 for this one, I reckon is worth trying.

Revlon super lustrous lipstick in Cherries in the snow - simply an iconic shade missing from my kit... Apparently a Marylin Monroe favourite too.

Collection2000 extreme mascara in purple - nothing special to add, just wanted to get one for a while, still not sure I chose right shade (should maybe go it in plum) but was the 'free' item anyway.

Also: Rimmel colour mousse 8H in sassy - versatile eyeshadow in an amazing colour which looks very expensive.

Bourjois blusher in Lilas d'or - recently fell in love with these sweet pots. Colour, smell, packaging <3 <3 could easily buy them all, product is also really good quality, nice to blend. Barry M nail paint - ok, bit explanation about that, just look at picture below. It's the crackle/shatter effect by OPI and China Glaze but cheaper. I just tried it on on top of coral and loving it, surprise at how much I'm liking it really. Let's just wait and see if pass test of time.


























Onto Debenhams now that was doing 10% off (on top I had a £5 voucher from my loyalty card): Lancome L'absolu Nu in Coral Evanescent and Rouge Nu - first coral lipstick that was on my wishlist, really lovely and flattering; second is a sheer red, as you can see doesn't stain a lot but can be built up, quite fun really.
