Beautyuk palette look

This is the look I wore a few days ago using the Beautyuk brown/black palette. I like it. The shadows are great. Very pigmented and lasted all day. I also curled my hair with my new conical wand. I know I have to jump on the bandwagon lol. This pic was taken on a day out. I managed to confuse my son as he knew there was something different about me but couldn't quite pin point it. He did work it out though lol.

Superdrug Haul

I'm becoming more and more addicted to Superdrug. A couple of days ago I got these palettes. They were £3.91 each. Bargain!! They are very pigmented and I have had a few compliments when wearing these!! Not bad at all!!

Barry M Nail Paint 125

I tried this nail paint for the 1st time the other day and I think it's gorgeous!!

Update on Dove Summer Glow Body Lotion

This morning after my shower this stuff was coming off like dirt onto the towel!! It is very patchy now and I look like I have a weird skin pigmentation thing going on. I did apply it again after the shower to see if it can look as good as it did at the start.

Today was the 2nd day I tried my samples of the Mac Studio Sculpt. I am wearing:

Face

NW15 with MSF natural in light/medium

Mac Pinch 'o Peach blusher

Mac So Ceylon MSF on the apples

Estee Lauder signature cream blush as a base (I don't think this is still available)

Eyes

Estee Lauder Stay in place eyeshadow base

Painterly paint pot

Naked Lunch on the lid

Shadowy Lady in the crease

Next To Nothing as a highlight

Body Shop Lash and Brow Gel in clear on my brows

Rimmel Sexy Curves Mascara in Brown/black

Lips

Rimmel Lipstick in Nude Pink

I love this combo on my eyes and I have to say that so far I am impressed with the Studio Sculpt.

Review: Dove Summer Glow Body Lotion

I am not one for a tan normally but with all these beauty blogs and Youtube videos I am addicted to I have decided to try and become a bronze goddess this year lol!! I am really pale, in fact I'm the palest person I know and have had my paleness commented on all my life. I have got used to it but now I'm ready for a change.

I decided to try the Dove Summer Glow in light to medium because I want a tan that is buildable and not in your face so to speak. With it being half price in Boots it was even more attractive.

I started using it about 10 days ago and at the beginning I loved it. It was natural looking and smelt quite nice when I first applied it. It was very easy to blend in and I believe I was streak free!! However during the day I noticed that it did smell like fake tan. It did give me a gradual build up of cover which I liked but now it's in the stages where it is partly wearing off and I hate that part. It also wore off in a patch under my watch and has settled into my creases, especially in the inner elbows.

Having said all that I have never had a fake tan that doesn't wear off in this way and hasn't settled in my creases eventually. I have had about 4 applications over the 10 days and I'll top it up again in the morning after my shower.

All in all for £2.44 in Boots I can't really complain about this product and I do feel better with a slight tan, especially if the weather is good.

Has anyone else tried this product? How did you get on with it?

Hooray for Mac Samples!!

On Wednesday I went to Mac. I really wanted to buy the new Studio Sculpt foundation. I currently wear NW20 in Select Tint but I wasn't sure if I needed NW20 or if maybe NW15 would do. So for this reason I went to try them out in person. Unfortunately they did not have any NW20 in stock so the MUA gave me a sample of each. I think the samples were quite generous and was really pleased. I had to go to Boots to purchase the pots myself but I used my Advantage Card points for that. Happy days!! Here is a pic of my samples. They do look a little dark in this picture. NW20 is the top one. I can't wait to try them out!!

Any tips for getting more samples at Mac?
