E.L.F goodies
Well the MAC Sugarsweet collection came out in the U.K yesterday and I was really excited about going to check it out- the pretty pastel colours were right up my street. In fact, besides the colourless lipglasses, I could quite easily have bought the entire collection if finances allowed! I had in mind what I wanted before going and these were exactly what I bought - butternutty shadestick and lollipop lovin' lipstick. I think this is my new favourite lipstick - well, its only my second lipstick from MAC and my first I hated- but I think it's certainly going to get a lot of use. I love the corrally, green-tone of it and I love the glaze finish. The new creamy texture and sleek packaging of the shadesticks is fantastic, I think butternutty is going to work brilliantly as a base. The eyeshadows were ok, but I already had stars 'n rockets, dear cupcake seemed too close to sushi flower, and sugarshot was a 'nothing-special' highlight. The nail polishes were pretty colours, but I'm sure other brands have similar for cheaper. I think the lipglosses were the biggest let-down. As pretty as they are (the cuboid packaging reminds me of the Dior lipglosses), they were SO sheer. I don't think the 'tri-colour' effect will last long either, they had already started getting mixed up when I arrived in the morning. A nice collector's item though :) I B2M'd 6 empty eyeshadow pots for slimshine in Bare- one i'd had my eye on for a while and I love it! Beautiful natural colour and I just love the half lipstick, half lipgloss effect. I actually asked for lollipop loving in my B2M but the sweet MA said she'd save me a bit of money and gave me the more expensive slimshine as the B2M :) So overall, a happy bunny!
I ordered the Heatherette lipglass in Sock Hop and after a mix up in which I was sent Beat it by mistake, I finally got it today to go over LL lipstick. It's a really pretty combination. I love the coral/orangey colour of the lipglass and how pigmented it is. It reminds me a bit of a more orange-toned Lychee Luxe lipglass.
My E.L.F goodies also arrived (very speedily). I ordered the concealer brush, the smudging brush and some false lashes in natural. I've yet to try any of them yet but will be sure to review them when I do. For £1.50 each, I hope they work out well (yn)
