Accidental Haul... Went to get tissues and concealer...Came back with the below....

So today I popped to the shops to pick up a few bits and got slightly carried away!!! 

Eyes
(Clockwise from top left corner) 
Rimmel Glam Eyes HD Quad Palette in Green Park - £1.00 - Poundland
Bit of a bargain here as I believe these were about £4.99 when they were knocking around in Superdrug - love the packaging which is the main reason why I chucked this in the basket. The quads are designed to give a full eye look so you've got different colours for the lid, crease and outer corner and a highlighter. They are all shimmery colours but overall happy for a quid.
MUA Heaven and Earth Palette £4.00 - Superdrug but on the three for two deal
I'm not going to bother going to much into this as the world and it's mother owns this palette - I picked it up as it's always sold out when i go in for it and I've wanted it for a while.
Rimmel Kohl Eye Liner Pencil in Green Shimmer £1.00 
Once again another discontinued rimmel product which I believe was replaced for the jungle green which you can buy for £3.99 here. This is lovely for a heavy evening look and I cannot wait to use this during xmas party season.
Maybelline Colour Tattoo in Pink Gold £4.99 but on the three for two deal
LOVE THIS PRODUCT.. I already have a couple of these but hadnt seen this colour before so super excited to wear this!
Swatches

Lips

So next up are a couple of lip products!! I have had a terrible cold all this week and my lips are looking disgusting so I havent been wearing lippy on them :( I picked up 2 products to try and resolve this and another cheeky poundland bargain
(From left to right)
Rimmel Exaggerate Lip Liner in 005 Pure £1.00 in Poundland
Another cheeky poundland bargain - got this lush reddy pink lipliner which I believe will be another discountined shade but I know these normally retail at around £3.99
Maybelline Baby Lips £2.99 in Superdrug - also on 342
Apologies but because I was dying to get something on my lips I chucked the packaging so have no idea what this shade is called - does the job - its really just a tinted lip balm.
Nivea Soft Rose £1.00 in Poundland
I got this really to see if there was any difference between these sort of products and the massively hyped Baby Lips, guess what - there isnt really! The only noticeable different is the shade on the baby lips is stronger.

Face
Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer £5.99 (Superdrug also on 342)
Once again won't go to much into this as I know loads of people already own this product, I have the foundation so basically got this cause I hope it will be the perfect colour match :)
MUA Pro Base Conceal and Brighten Kit in Medium Rose £3.50 (Superdrug on 342)
Haven't opened this yet but it intrigued me... would normally go for the lighter colour but there wasn't any left! May be able to use the darker colours for contorting but will have a play tomorrow :)
MUA Pressed Powder (Shade 2) £1.00 (Superdrug on 342)
Again haven't opened this but thought i'd give it a try for a quid


Nails
(From left to right - All from Poundshop and unbelievably £1.00)
Rimmel Metal Rush in Purple Reign 
Not sure how this has made its way to the poundshop as it's still available on sale in Superdrug here for £3.99 - ooh i love a bargain :) I already have a few of these and the colour of them is fab as they're two tonal products depending on the light.
Chit Chat Gold Glitter
Disappointing - in the tube it looks like a heavy chunky glitter out of the top it's a thin bitty low coverage glitter - might be ok if you layered it up.
Sally Hansen Hard as Nails in Kiwi Bikini 
Really lovely colour and love the brand - top quality coverage.
Chit Chat in Rio
Was so excited about this as it looked like a perfect dupe for Models Own Hed Kandi Ibiza Mix- but in reality it's like the Gold Glitter - might try layering it up though. Let me know if you'd like to see it next to Hed Kandi.
Rimmel Metal Rush in Gold Save the Queen
Another metal rush product - this colour in divine for Xmas and might look nice with layers and layers of the shitty glitter on top :)
Please let me know what you think and if you've had any beauty bargains recently? If you would like a further review on any of these products please comment below :)

Mini Polish Haul: Boots and Superdrug





1) Love this, super shiny polish! Perfect for this time of year. This costs £3.99
2) Doesn't really work, supposed to create a pattern if you moved the magnet above the wet polish but didn't. Colour is ok but wouldnt't waste £3.50 on another one.
3) This one was free as most brands are on 3 for 2 at Superdrug at the moment but to be honest isn't that great, just  basic green glitter. No real texture to it. 
4) Now this is the ultimate green glitter, i'm a little bit in love with this product. If you already own the Model's Own HedKandi Ibiza Mix it's quite a similar texture but with just green and gold glitters. I'm going to wear it (probably rather a lot) over christmas with a white base.
5) Finally I just picked up another Models Own nail pen in blue which i love, i'm not massively skilled in this area but love doing polka dot nails :)

All Model's Own polishes are on buy one get one half price in Boots at the moment.....

Mua Nail Constellation - Pisces

Mua Nail Constellation - Pisces Review
Rating 2/10


Right let me start off by saying i was so excited to try this product!!! At just £3.00 who could resist trying the high street's first attempt at nail caviar. However after using it I'm left feeling a bit meh about the product.


First problem is i lost the little instruction booket (totally my own fault) but had no idea how to put this on. I thought the nail caviar would work like a glitter polish but in fact it's loose particles.

To apply the product you paint your nail and then shake the substance over the top and hope it sticks.

This is where the first problem occurs :(

The beads do not come down the tube!!! I shook and shook and only got a light sparkling of product on my nails so had to take the entire lid of the product and pour a large amount of the product over my nail.

So here is what it looks like....

Overall i'm not massively impressed with the product - maybe it's me but I just couldnt make it look neat! I also just don't think it's going to stay on for very long despite covering it with clear nail varnish. I think maybe it's just time to fork out for the Ciate Nail caviar.

I'm a bit meh with the whole MUA range. being a bit of a beauty snob but also loving a bargain I keep buying bits and bats from it but find myself ending up with their high end alternative a few weeks later.

Birthday in Budapest :)


Hello lovelies,

Sorry for the lack of posting i've been away in Budapest with my boyfriend celebrating my birthday.

First of all here's a picture of my present haul!!!
Not too bad if i do say so myself! 

Also a hot tip anyone flying with jet2 soon save your pennies as they are selling the Urban Decay Naked palette for just £21!! Literally couldn't believe this bargain, no more Mua Undressed for me :)

My brother also got me a fab case for all my make up which i was overly excited about :)

So here are a few photos from Budapest...


The beautiful Corinthia Spa
Strolling along the river :)

View from the hills :)

Budapest is a beautiful city and i can not recommend it more to people, it's also very very good value for a European capital and you can pick up a bottle of beer for around 75p!!

How's everyone elses weekend's been?
