Updated storage ...and wee haul!

Bit of a delayed post as I have had an essay due..again...so been wrapped up with editing that the past week. All done and dusted now! hurrah!

Anyways I have been hunting for mini storage drawers forever.. every American youtuber..oh Walmart..office depot..ERR..Nowhere here could I find them..! Was in poundland after work one night, don't ask.. think I went to get some drain cleaner..LOL....and there they were..stacks of mini drawers in white, purple and pink! Went with the white..so pleased with them! May have to get two more!

Here they are..fabulous for £2! (thats the MAC double dazzle promo postcard on top there)

Okay these I got a couple weeks ago, its a range at Superdrug 2True, everything is £1.90 or 3 items for £5..I just wanted a small treat..perfect! Actually love this eyeshadow..its a bit too soft..as in it is crumbly..but the colour payoff is fantastic..and it stays on 12 hours NO PROBLEM! Eyeliner matches colour wise perfect and is soft..easy to use..no complaints. I worked the smoky purple eye for a good 3 days after getting it...lovee the colour!

The mascara is comparable to the Maybelline Volume express..which I didn't like much..but I like that clumpy look sometimes..which it creates..its better than the Maybelline..and so cheap..fine for a backup!

Okayy..so got some mundane things..but very essential

Dry shampoo..fabulous..trying this scent out, normally go with the Tropical! Its a lifesaver morning after the gym..refreshes your hair when you don't have time for a full wash etc.

Trusty Neutrogena..its fading my acne scars ..10 year old acne scars I may add.. so..I am keeping on with it...despite the stink! Trying out this wash..its part of the DEEP CLEAN line not the Visibly clear..smells good, really tingly on..no complaints..no breakouts.

Okay here is what I picked up last Monday..had a shopping day..lovely and relaxed!

Went to MAC to get the Prep and Prime Transparent Finishing powder. Totally sold out, and not going to be back in my local store for 4 weeks. Was so upset..was the only thing I actually wanted!! The girl was super sweet and gave me a sample from the pot they had on the stand..hurrah!

I then was racking my brain what was next on my list at MAC..remembered Elle mentioning spring bean lustreglass..picked that up..it was £10.20 or thereabouts! Just as promised..gorgeous like honey on the lips..fantastic! the shocking green colour in the tube just makes it more fun!

I had all intentions of getting Maybelline foundation..the new one and the dream mousse..I know the colour matches..not allergic..etc. Then suddenly I saw the SLEEK stand.. sleek is a brand I used as a kid.. all sorts of cheap glitter nail polishes and lipsticks.. its been relaunched..slicked up..and wow am I impressed. Got this cream to powder foundation..gorgeous.. will have to review it at a later date. Was about £6..so same price range as Maybelline. They have some amazing products, a brick style bronzer(cough cough looks a lot like Bobbi Brown) and the eyeshadow palettes and worth a look!

Another brand causing a stir at Superdrug, BEAUTYUK, Palettes are 2.93 (with Student discount 2.63!). This is the neutral palette..the colours and pigmentation..rock!


Anyways that's it...Now on makeup ban for 4 weeks!! Have plenty to play with for a month.. Double Dazzle is out here in 2 weeks time, so I can totally wait for that..hopefully they wont sell out fast like the Colour Ready did!

Nothing better than getting gifts!!

Eyeko nail polish..such cute packaging! Lollipop26 had a gorgeous pale green colour..needed to get one.. this fluro pink was crying out!! lol anyway was a pressie..so no guilt!

£1.93 ..or 1.63 w/NUS Card!

They have a cute cheek stain in a big fat lipbalm style tube..tooo adorable..(This may be mine tomorrow!)

Also ELF brushes arrived, washed them...there are lovely..I heard a lot of bad things about the blending brush..was expecting it to be straight in the bin..its lovely and soft..fluffy..gorgeous!! They are identical to my Ruby and Millie brushes..as in..they look like they came from the same factory..even packaging..IDENTICAL..Sick..for £6-11 ..Opposed to the £1 a piece these ELF ones were!! ..definitely going to get a couple more! They came 3 days after order.. really pleased with them. The Easter promo is fab, £5 off when spending £15..but..I am staying away!

Foundation brush, eye liner brush, concealer brush and blending brush

Waiting until week after next to hit MAC, got an assignment due, so soon as that's done and handed in....stupid amount of reading, case law bla bla bla..once that's done...I will be treating myself with a few bits. Prep + Prime Transparent Finishing powder is top of the list..as well as some mundane items I have used up!

Want to start collecting eye shadows..so think am going to order a 15 pan palette....then some pan shadows..a couple each month should have it filled by xmas time!! oh I wish the counters sold them..its so annoying when not in London cant get hold of pro products!! aaah(MAC mail order is JUST NOT the same)!

Anyways..nothing else exciting..loving my neon nails though!

Trying to confine my make up loving to my blog..my friends now have "MAC" faces..ie bored dribbling faces they make when I start going on about MAC...."oh no she is off on about MAC..again!!".. I know you guys understand though!! lol Speaking of addicts..I discovered Specktra this week..LOVE! Check it out!

ELF....and make-up chatter

Okay so I was watching vids last night and heard someone mention ELF all over cover stick...it looked lush and dewy on.......hmm..ELF..Whatever is that??!!.. after a quick google and pulling up a billion youtube reviews..I cracked on with the website!!


A quick gander on facebook found that there is a £1 brush offer until MIDDAY Sunday lunchtime! Fabulous (its BRUSHOFF) ..Too good..anyway was kindly treated to 4 brushes..£4!!!!I have been going on and on about getting a reward for my assignment so this seemed fitting!


I now really want from them the pale pink nail varnish, navy nail varnish, Toasted face stick, Honey lipgloss, eyelashcurler...coconut lip balm..oooooo...maybe a squishy Train case too!! ..And the cream colour bases had good reviews. At £1.50 a piece..this is credit crunch make-up baby!


Will report back on the brushes when they arrive..very excited! Some of my Sephora brushes are looking very very sad!


I completely tidied up my make up last night...very therapeutic! am still finding solutions to organising..if anyone has a fantastic idea, please share!!


Checked out MUJI, These clear drawers are fabulous however am wondering how messy they will get or how many I will need by the end of the year, at £10 per two drawers..well I don't think they are going to be as modular as I would like.. Don't think more than 4 stacked is going to work!



WHSmiths has some gorgeous mini drawers..but..out of stock online..got to check my local store for them! These are Laura Ashley and come in various floral designs..very cute and vintage looking.


Also wheeley plastic drawers..work a charm..but..I think kind of ugly..I have all nice hat boxes and floral storage in my bedroom..so adding a big plastic thing..I am dubious about!! lol









This train case at ARGOS is a steel at 19.99...why couldn't it be silver?! ahh! Am thinking this is the best option despite the colour...



Japonseque have some lovely and fabulous quality ones around £50...bit more of an investment! These have a wooden frame..so professional quality..built to last and travel!




There are some amazing organisation vids online..but really..I cannot decide how best to store bits! Ideally I would have a MAC train case..but they are extortionate!!


A girl can dream!..anyways if your after new(and insanely cheap!) brushes..get to ELF by lunchtime tomorrow!


TTFN
