♡ MINI MAKE-UP HAUL // MAC & CLINIQUE ♡

Hey Guys,

I  recently returned home from a week holiday in Cyprus which was lots of fun, also the weather was amazing. I picked up a few make-up items whilst on my holiday and wanted to share them with you. I know we all love a good browse in the airports duty free area and with some left over spending money I couldn't resist!

CLINIQUE / TINTED MOISTURIZER

Clinique foundation is my favourite and I was running out of my current one so I thought I'd better pick one up whilst I could! This foundation is so easy to blend in and gives a lovely finish.

MAC LIPSTICK / GIRL ABOUT TOWN

I have been lusting over a Mac lipstick since forever and finally bought one of my own! I love the colour of this particular one, it would look perfect with a tan and a summery outfit. It's very moisturizing and actually stays on your lips; I love it!

MAC BLUSHER / PINCH O' PEACH

I have been looking for a peachy, pink blusher for a while and this is the perfect shade. It's not shimmery and isn't to pigmented whilst on your cheeks,which gives a subtle finish, how I'd prefer a blusher to be!

lot's of love,

Nia

♡GLOSSYBOX MAY 2013!♡

Hey Guys!

 

 Recently I have been hearing a lot about Glossyboxes from well know fashion/beauty YouTubers and bloggers and wanted to know what all the hype was about, so I ordered one myself! I received my box just a few days ago and have been itching to blog about it ever since. First of all the price of just one of these boxes is a small £10  + postage and packaging charges, which I think is very affordable especially for 5 products. You can pre-pay for your boxes from 3 months ahead to 12 but as it was my first time to order a glossybox I only purchased one. I really like the idea of paying a small sum of money for samples, and sometimes full sizes, of high-end and highstreet beauty products. If you're like me and don't like paying such a ridiculous price for high-end beauty products, this scheme is definitely for you. Glossybox allows you to try and test the newest and most exciting beauty products, and also keeps you up-to-date with the latest trends.

 

 

When it arrived I was shocked by how pretty the box was and couldn't wait to open it! The inside was also pakaged beautifully. Hereis a picture of the inside of the box, and the goodies inside!

 

Caudalie - Divine Oil
 

 As I have never tried a oil before I was really excited about this product. You are able to use this super-hydrating oil on your body, face and hair and is sold for full price at £4.05 (15ml).

L'occitane En Provence - Angelica Hydrating Cream
 

I was desperately in need of a new moisturizer and this was a god send! I am really excited about this and can't wait to try it out. This cream is said to leave the skin looking 'plumped, smoothed and absolutely radiant' which I'm hoping is true! For the full size of this product (50ml) it is £30 , which is expensive but  might just be worth it.

Beautiful Movements Cosmetics - Prime & Create Mixing Medium
 

 

This primer is an addition to former Pussy Cat Doll Kimberly Wyatt's range of beauty products. Like all of the other products, I have never heard of this product before.

Jelly Pong Pong - Fairy Lashes Mascara

 

 

As funny as the name sounds, I think this mascara is going to be one of my favorites! As my Benefit They're Real! mascara is coming to an end I was hoping I would find a mascara inside this box. This mascara is waterproof, which is always a bonus but a bit of a pain to get off, and I think is actually full size, 8ml (worth £15). Again a product which I can't wait to try out!

Headline Colours Nail Varnish - Twisted Silk
 

First of all the colour of this nail varnish is amazing, I am really loving the nude/pastel colours at the moment and I think they are perfect for pring and summer! This nail polish is full sized (10ml) which is worth £9, I have already tested this product and is very pigmented with just one coat, but it's advised to give two coats on the nails. I have never tried a nail varnish from Headline Colours before and can't wait to give them a go!

I think I will be ordering a glossybox again and can't wait to discover new products! Hope you enjoyed reading this blog post and inspired you to order one for yourself, I highly recommend it!
