Benefit Haul

Latest acquisitions from Benefit:



Powderflage: been meaning to try this one since it lanched. Plus, I was planning on getting a fan brush for highlighters - this one is tiny but will see how it fairs.








Bella Bamba: I don't have any blusher from their range so wasn't sure which one to try but I swatched this one in Debenhams a couple of weeks ago and I was sold instantly. Plus, it smells amazing (watermelon) and I really like the packaging. It looks quite pigmented so hopefully will blend nicely - it's described as 3D blush but whatever that means, I'll have to find out.

MAC part 2

TADA!!! As anticipated in the previous post, I was looking forward to this little gem being delivered. :)
Enough with the suspense... Photos first:










MAC Intriguing Scarlet: 3 Cool Pink Lips
In this lip palette we got:
- 1 lipgloss in Sheer Vision which kinda disappears in the swatch above.
- 2 lipsticks in Overjoyed and Make Me Melt respectively middle and right in the swatch. Both lustre finish, beautifully creamy and flattering.
- brush 316SE which is not too bad, I could happily use this one for the application.

Told you it was a GEM shiny & compact!

MAC part 1

This week I bought few MAC items; I've decided to do 2 posts because the second one deserves fuuuuull attention! :)

Anyway, lets get back to this post... nothing particularly exciting, a couple of essentials in the form of brushes!




187: face brush, got it to use with Magically Cool Liquid Powder.
182: kabuki, got it to bronze myself away. ;)

I'm pleased! As expected the quality is brilliant and they will last forever.

Holiday Haul

Right, I'm just back from Italy; me & my fiancè are getting married there next year so we went over to get things in motion... And we set a date! YAY!!!
Also, I may have found the dress :))) - I went trying stuff with my sis and mum and put a deposit on one (still with the option that if I change my mind again I can, so got time til autumn, deadline to actually order it, to look around)... Plus, having a date to work towards makes such a huge difference... I feel more relaxed.

Now, back to few bits I got there. Actually, I haven't bought anything; I was planning to get some body cream/serum from Collistar which does amazing great products for cellulite but I was welcomed by the news that my sister's new boyfriend mum works in a drugstore and always gives her freebies and samples - LUCKY GIRL, IF YOU ASK ME - and to make a list of what I wanted so I could benefit from her discount at least. To be honest, I love all the products from Collistar so I wasn't too fussed, which paid off as the lovely lady was able to give me these two bottle completely free!!! They are full size and retail for around €35 each.


Finally, I got these lovely presents from my cousin Stefania! We always exchange presents at Christmas and birthdays but beause I live in uk now, we're not that punctual with dates... Hehe... She was sweet enough to drop these off for me. :)








































Been wearing the necklace everyday. Adore it! <3
