Loving the leather....

FINALLY I have found and fell in love with a leather jacket. I've been wanting one for months, and anyone who knows me has probably hated every shopping trip we've been on because I've been so picky when it's came down to choosing a jacket I like. However, I have found 'The one' :D


£30.00 from Peacocks. I love it <3

What kind of shopping trip would it have been without picking up a teeny bit of make up???

From superdrug and a little make up stall:



* Gosh velvet touch waterproof eyeliner in 'truly brown' £4.99
* Sleek eau la la liner in 'venom' £4.99


* Essie nail varnish in 'to buy or not to buy' £1.99

So I'm pretty excited about my new purchases, especially the jacket :D And the sleek liner, had my eye on it for so long and I think it's a perfect colour for autumn!

Weekly favourites....

For the past few weeks, I've been picking out make up on a Sunday night to use for that week (Lipstick/gloss, eyeshadow, blush, mascara etc) and have been choosing which products were my 'likes' 'not so likes' and 'faves' However other than eyeshadow's, lip products and blushes I don't have enough mascara's, eyeliner's and primers to continue to do my weekly favourites like this. If you've read my Product Pan Project post you'll see that I have quite a few things I have hit pan on and want to use up. SO I'm going to go back to just picking out products that I've enjoyed using the previous week.

Boy do I know how to ramble on!!! Onto this weeks 'likes'

* Benefit 'porefessional' and Clinique buttershine lipstick palette:




Faves:

* No7 blush in 'candy pink' and Soap and Glory eyeshadow in 'dandy plum'




Extra faves:

* Tanner Hall - two words - Rooney Mara (girl crush)
* Freederm spot gel - I have a love hate relationship with this. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't, this week it's been my best friend
* 17 lip liner in 'valentine' and Miss Sporty lip liner in 'bubble gum' - These both lasted for hours and didn't dry out my lips at all



Last but not least, I've been loving leopard print nails:

Product Pan Project....

I was moving my make up around the other day and noticed that I may have a little too much make up. So I decided to pull out all of the products I have that I've hit pan on, and try and use them up. I know there's a lot of videos on Youtube about 'Project 10 pan' so I guess this is pretty much the same. I have SO many lip balms and highlight eye shadows and really want to cut them down. Without further ado, here's what I'm going to try use up:

Eye shadows:

* No 7 'Mink'
* Soap and Glory 'Vanilla'
* MUA 'shade 1'
* MAC 'Phloof'



Bases:

* MAC 'Bare study' paint pot
* Benefit 'The porefessional'



Eyeliner:

* MUA extreme felt liner



Eyebrows

* e.l.f 'Medium' eyebrow kit



Blush:

*No7 'Candy pink'



Lips:

* Figs and Rouge 'Rambling Rose' balm
* Carmex
* The body shop 'Passionberry' lip balm



Skincare:

* The body shop Hemp hand protector



This could take a while..........

NOTD: Leopard nails....

My brown leopard nails finally chipped *sad face* so I decided to paint them again using different colours:



Here's what I used:


* Barry M nail paint in '309 pale purple' on my three 'plain' fingers
* Barry M nail paint in '142 lilac foil' on my two leopard fingers
* Barry M nail paint in '303 bright purple' for the dots
* Rimmel lasting finish in '399 black satin' to create the 'C' shapes and 'Brackets' around the dots


I think this will now be how I always wear my nails, it's so easy to do and I think it looks pretty cool :P

Monthly empties....

I actually don't have all that many empties this month so this should make for a short but sweet post :)

Make up:


* Revlon colorstay 'sand beige' - I'll always repurchase this, it's my favourite foundation
* 17 Miracle matte pressed powder - I've come to prefer this now to the pressed powder. I seem to have a slightly more flawless finish after using this








Skincare/bath:


* Superdrug tea tree peel off face mask - Since introducing the tea tree cleanser into my daily routine, I've noticed quite a difference in my skin. So I thought I'd try out a face mask and I have to say that this left my skin so smooth and soft
* Superdrug tea tree mud mask - I wouldn't repurchase this one. Although my skin felt really smooth after using this, I had to was it off after about 7 minutes because it started to burn



* Mitchum advanced control deodorant 'unperfumed' - I prefer this one to the one that I usually use. Because it's a stick and not a roll on, if I'm in a hurry I don't have to flap my arms around like a bird to get it to dry quicker, and it leaves my skin so so soft
* Palmolive 'damask rose and musk' shower gel - This smells divine and leaves a nice subtle scent behind on the skin after use



* Clinique rinse off foaming cleanser mousse - This is something I'd definitely repurchase. It left my skin amazing - so soft and smooth
*  No7 beautiful skin eye make up remover - This is my all time favourite eye make up remover. It takes off all kinds of eye make up. And it takes the sticky residue left behind on make up products where stores have stuck the annoying stickers ;)


That's it for Septembers empties
