Chanel Heaven............

I had a gift voucher from Debenham's that I had been hanging on to for a little while. When I popped over Brighton a few weeks back, I decided that it was time to use my voucher :)

I wanted to get some bits from Chanel as I don't have a counter in my local town.
Here is what I picked up.

I'llusion D'Ombre in Illusoire

I have wanted to try one of these gorgeous shadows forever. This taupe shade is super pretty with lovely sparkle. I cant wait to try this out.

Rouge Coco Shine in Sourire

Another item that has been much talked about in the blogging world. This is a soft sheer peach with gold sparkle. Very delicate and pretty.

Glossimer in Jalousie

I saw this colour and just fell in love. This is my first Chanel Glossimer and it really is love.

Soleil Tan De Chanel

This is a repurchase for me, I had this a few years ago and didn't replace it when it ran out. I decided that it was time to reinvest in this cult classic.

Chanel is such a luxury brand that I am very excited to have been able to pick these items up. It was also a bonus points even so I have some extra points on my beauty card. It was an extra 500 for every £40 you spent, so I got an extra 1000 the equivalent of £10.00.

I am so excited :)

What items are on your wish list??

Mwah

Drugstore Haul time.................

I have picked up a few bits and pieces lately on the 3 for 2 promotion at Superdrug and rather than do a normal blog post, I decided to record a video to share with you all.

I am still learning, so bare with me, I used my proper camera today for the first time and the results are much better.

Any way if you would like to see what I picked up, The video is below :)

Thanks for watching :)

Mwah

NARS Haul.....................

A brand that I love to see is NARS. I have a couple of NARS bits and bobs in my collection (1 bronzer, 2 blushes, 3 shadows, 3 glosses lol). NARS is also a brand that will feature in my wish lists. 

I often see items that I think look gorgeous on various blogs and youtube videos. I don't have a NARS counter near me, so its a brand that I always seem to lust after.

I recently decided to take a bit of a gamble and pick up a few bits from ASOS as I had a voucher and a free delivery code.

My main purchase was the NARS Love Rite SS 2012 collection. A box set housing a Duo blush, 2 Lip glosses and a Orgasm Illuminator.

I wanted to try this out as you get 2 blushes in the compact, they are a good size and it allows me to try out 2 shades....bonus. You also get 2 miniature, about half size I would say of there Lip glosses in the colours Greek Holiday and Turkish Delight ( One of my all time favourites!!!)

The last thing you get is a 15ml Orgasm Illuminator. I already have this product, but its something I always use so it will come in handy through the summer.

Desire and Amour

These are both Matte blushes, they have fab colour pay off like all NARS blushes. I cant wait to try these out.

Greek Holiday is the only new item from this trio to me. I really like it. It has very delicate sparkle and will look great both on its own and layered over lipstick.

Desire, Amour, Greek Holiday and Turkish Delight.

Next I picked up a couple of Lip products. 

Mexican Rose is a Item I have had my eye on for a little while. I love lip products in pencil form and it is a beautiful colour.

Barbarella was a complete impulse buy. Its a true peach lipstick, something I always seem to be looking for?! 

Barbarella and Mexican Rose

L To R 

Barbarella and Mexican Rose

Mexican Rose has stolen my heart already, I have this on my lips as I type and I'm loving it......

The last 2 items I picked up are both blushes.

The first is a item that I have been lusting after for well over a year.

Its Cactus Flower Cream Blush. The reason I have hesitated so long with this is simply my love hate relationship with cream blush. I love the idea and most often the colours, I just really struggle to apply this well to my skin without it highlighting all my pores and just looking rather naff.

I finally took the plunge tho and I'm looking forward to experimenting with it.

The last blush I picked is Torrid, a beautiful Coral with gold shimmer running through. Gorgeous for summer.

Cactus Flower and Torrid.

I think that these blushes are going to work really well layered.........

I so hope Cactus flower works for me, I'm in love with the beautiful bright coral with gold sparkles. Fingers and toes crossed, lol.

If like me, you don't have a local NARS counter you can either order direct from NARS or ASOS like I did.

What are your favourite NARS products?? Do you have any Cream blush application tips???

Mwah

MAC Hey, Sailor haul part 2...............

Hey everyone!! Hope you have all had a good Wednesday?!

The week is half way done, and to celebrate, I have the 2nd part of my MAC haul to share with you.

I have also linked my YouTube haul video at the bottom of this post, so have a look see if you would like to see more on my thoughts :))

The Hey, Sailor Collection has been one of my favourites MAC has done in a long time. As well as some fab colours, I love the packaging.  

This is the Highlight powder of the collection, Crew. 

I thought that the coloured stripes were a light over spray, but when I have swatched the powder I had look and have found that they go fairly deep. The over all colour is a very soft baby pink, very pretty. 

I chose the darker blush of the two in the collection, Fleet Fast. A warm soft coral. Very pretty and one I will get alot of wear from this summer.

Crew & Fleet Fast in natural light

Next up the Lip products I picked up.

A pro Long wear lip liner in Shore Leave, this liner I adore, its super pretty and lasts brilliantly on the lips.

A re promote Lipglass in Orange Tempera, this is a stunning gloss. Its a creamy peachy pink, totally gorgeous.

Suntint Liquid Lipbalm in Au Rose and Abalone. These are 2 of the 3 from the collection limited edition lip balms. They both have a subtle tint and spf20, making them perfect to throw in your bag for the summer.

Orange Tempera, Shore Leave, Au Rose and Abalone.

Of the two Liquid Liptints, my absolute favourite is Au Rose, it has a gentle sparkle and is lovely with Shore Leave liner.

Did you pick anything up from the collection???

Mwah, as always

17, a Small haul................

When I was last in Boots a few weeks back, they had 3 for 2 on No17.
There were a few bits that I wanted to pick up and so I took advantage of the offer. 

BB cream in medium £6.99

Peep Show Mascara £6.29

Instant Glow Oversized Animal Print Bronzer £5.49 ( I got this free on the offer)

I picked the Peep show mascara as I wanted to try out a mascara with added fibres like this one.

Cant wait to finish my current mascara and try it out.

I picked up the BB cream as a bit of an impulse. I love BB creams and tend to use them as primers as I can never find a perfect colour match. I have heard some good things about this and cant wait to try it out. Review will follow.

I saw the Animal print Bronzer on another blog and fell in love at first sight. I LOVE bronzer and animal print is one of my favourite things so it was a win win. This is a beautiful over sized bronzer and has a soft bronze finish on the skin. I cant see any orange tones which is great.

The only downside, the animal print patten in gold is an over spray, ill miss the pretty pattern, lol.

I will post reviews of all these items as I have tried them all properly.

Have you tried any of these items? What are your thoughts?

Mwah

MAC Naturally collection .................

I know I'm a little late in posting this haul, its my MAC Naturally goodies that I picked up when the collection launched back at the start of the month.

Here is what I picked up

Blond Mineralize Skin Finish (LE)

L To R swatches

Blended

I am a massive lover of MAC's MSF's. I get a little twitchy when they are LE. However after missing out on this one in the Blonde, Brunette, Redhead Collection a few years back, I decided that this would be the one for me to get. Its a beautiful soft pink that I will bother layer over blush and use as a highlight shade.

Next up I got a couple of the lipsticks, A Perfect Day and Sweet Sunrise.

I have been loving Nudes at the moment and these seemed perfect for me.

A Perfect day is more of a peachy bronze nude and Sweet Sunrise a delicate peach.

I promise some lip swatches of these very soon!!

What did you pick up from the collection?
