Superdrugs Haul! MUA make up!


Hey guys, here is a mini haul post, from when I ordered some goodies off Superdrugs! I fancied a bit of new make up from MUA so I thought I would order some! Now, I have a love of bright colours, so I needed to order the Poptastic palette ;D I also wanted to try their new Lip Booms just to see what they were like! I also ordered a MUA Felt tip liner, to see what they were like for the ole cat flick!

Here is the box, exciting stuff!
 I kinda opened the box before I took a photo, over eagerness haha!

Hello Alexandra!
 I'm not sure if the Simple face wash is a freebie or a mishap...but I kinda forgot to email Superdrugs! I only ever use LUSH facial wash so I am not sure what to do with it...
All my stuff!



A few examples of what the lip booms look like and also some experimenting with the pen! Its very easy to use and produces a lovely line! The lip booms look interesting too, reviews to come!

Have you bought any lovely make up recently? Let me know!

STAY BEAUTIFUL

My New Love: LIPSTICKS

Hello ladies!! I know I said next post would be Cheddar Gorge but I want to, on Fridays, do a make up post!! So Fridays are for make up kiddies!!

Today I will be talking about lipsticks! I only have 9 right now, but I think I have bought three in three weeks (might buy another one next week to make it an even ten, 9 doesn't sit right with me ;D ). My main love at the moment is MUA lipsticks!! I love MUA (Make Up Academy) stuff, and I said to myself one day, Kitty, you are gonna collect everything MUA that you will use!! SO I started with the lipsticks, of which I now own four!! Here is a picture of all my lipsticks firstly:
MUA lipsticks on the left, NYC lipstick in the middle, Avon lipsticks then Clinque lipsticks
If I count my GOSH lipbalm I could probably make it ten haha!! So here is the line up of my lipsticks!!
MUA Lipstick Shade 2
This is one of my darker nudey shades, one I bought to match my GOSH lipbalm colour in fact. I would call this colour a plummy pink colour and I love it, I think I swatched it on my lips recently but I am not sure! If you do want swatches please do ask!!
Consistency: Creamy and feels moisturising but not sure if it is. It doesn't dry out my lips though
Colour: Plummy pink
Smell: Like all MUA lipsticks, it smells surprisingly nice. A almost sweet vanilla smell.
Taste: Haven't noticed a particular strong taste or bad taste
Longevity: Last quite a while, but after eating or drinking can fade.
Price: £1!!
Where to buy?: I buy mine from Superdrugs
Rating: 4/5 I give it this score as the only thing is it doesn't last as long as I like but apart from that its brilliant value for money!! Credit crunch make up!!

MUA Lipstick Shade 6
I needed something MLBB so I went to my local superdrugs on a hunt!! I think this was the second MUA lipstick I bought, looking for something nudey pink so I could wear it with heavy eye make up. I love this shade as it gives my lips that omph without looking OTT!!

Consistency: creamy and non drying
Colour: Light nudey pink
Smell: MUA's sweet vanilla smell
Taste: no specific strong taste
Longevity: not too bad, but not brilliant
Price: £1
Where to buy?: Superdrugs
Rating: 4/5 I love this colour to whack on when I am wearing intense eyes, as its a lovely nude colour, like my lips but better!! Its ever so slightly shimmery but not major. Brilliant value


MUA Lipstick Shade 8
I actually bought this lipstick yesterday!! I haven't had a chance to wear it yet but I might do it today!! Its such an intense shade and I love it on my lips!!

Consistency: creamy and non drying
Colour: darkish red with a shimmer
Smell: sweet vanilla
Taste: no strong taste
Longevity: don't know yet!!

Price: £1
Where to buy?: Superdrugs
Rating: can't really rate this one yet as I haven't worn it!!

MUA Lipstick Shade 12
This was the first MUA lipstick I bought, looking for a muted down shade of my NYC lipstick. Its a lovely pink shade with glittery  sparkles in it that show up on my lips and leave a nice effect.

Consistency: cream and non drying
Colour: brightish pink with sparkly bits
Smell: sweet vanilla
Taste: no strong taste
Longevity: decent enough for its price

Price: £1
Where to buy?: Superdrugs
Rating: 4/5 Again, the only reason the MUA lipsticks arn't perfect is their longevity!!

NYC Lipstick in 405B Blue Rose
I was looking for a bright pink shade one day, to be daring and I found this lovely colour!! I have to wear it on a brave day but it does look perfect on me once you get over the shock of the colour!
Consistency: creamy but a bit drying
Colour: bright pink with blue undertones
Smell: slight lipstick smell (do you know what I mean by lipstick smell?)
Taste: no particular taste
Longevity: I was amazed by the longevity of this lipstick. It keeps on going for ages and ages, and I talk and eat a lot!!

Price: £1.99
Where to buy?: Superdrugs
Rating: 4/5 The only problem is its a bit drying on my lips but apart from that its great value for money!!

Avon Lipstick in Vintage Pink
My mum got this lipstick free when she bought something from Avon (under my encouragement) and decided that the colour didn't suit her (shes dark skinned as my Grandad is Pakistani always tanned the lucky woman) so she gave it to me, what a shame :D
Consistency: its quite a hard lipstick but goes on nicely
Colour: I can only describe it as a nude red. It is a pinky red but not too intense, but it looks good!
Smell: I always thought it smelt lovely, like parma violets!!
Taste: don't taste of anything
Longevity: lasts a very long time but fades after too much drinking and eating

Price: £6.50
Where to buy?: From an Avon representative or the website (see below)
Rating: 4/5 is a good lipstick, but can get a similar performing lipstick for cheaper

Avon Lipstick in Frozen Rose
I don't remember where I got this, I believe it was last Christmas and its a lovely nude colour, but I use it sparingly as it can be a bit too pale for my lips depending on the make up I am wearing. It has lovely gold undertones so is quite a warm shade! Avon no longer sells this lipstick though
Consistency: smooth not too creamy
Colour: a light pinky shade with golden undertones
Smell: smells a bit sweet but with a tiny sawdust smell
Taste: no strong taste
Longevity: lasts okay but does fade after eating and drinking

Price: not sure as no longer sold
Where to buy?: no longer avaliable
Rating: I give this a 3/5 as it was probably expensive but doesnt last long and has a slight bad smell

Clinique Different Lipstick in Rose Taffy
I wanted a expensive lipstick just to see what they are like!! Luckily my uncle works for Este Lauder so I got these for Christmas :D I went into Debenhams first though to check my ideal shade, which turned out to be this lovely nudey pink!
Consistency: creamy but ever so slightly greasy
Colour: nudey rose pink colour with shimmers
Smell: classic lipstick smell
Taste: tiny bit of a taste but unnoticeable mostly
Longevity: lasts as long as you expect it too, very good longevity!

Price: £14.50
Where to buy?: Debenhams and online
Rating: 4/5 I don't like the lipstick smell and the slight greasyness but apart from that you DO get what you pay for in longevity and colour!!

GOSH Soft'n Shine lipbalm in Perfect Plum 34
Every now and then I splurge on some expensive drug store make up and most of the time the splurge is on GOSH!! I do love GOSH make up but its a bit pricey for me!! But I saw this and wanted to try a tinted lip balm!! This works quite well on my lips and it is very pigmented!
Consistency: creamy and greasy due to the moisturising
Colour: lovely plum colour
Smell: it smells like the lovely sweet tic tac smell :D
Taste: tastes a bit like tic tacs too mmmmmm
Longevity: lasts quite long despite it being greasy but does get wiped off by food

Price: I think I bought mine on offer for £6.50 but its around that price if not it
Where to buy?: Superdrugs
Rating: 4/5 If it lasted long too it would be perfect!

So this quick blog post on lipsticks turned into a very long blog post xD Appreciate it :P I am off to get a bath!! I will answer all comments over the weekend, I promise <3

Haul Post :D

Hey guys! Here is a quick haul post as I am in pain in my side for some reason xD

I went shopping during the week when I was feeling ill, to make myself feel better, and bought some things for meeee!! And saw something I wanted which I went and bought the next day ;D

So here is what I bought!!

The pick n mix and the galaxy was 99p ;D NOM NOM NOM I love the 99p store cause if you want a quick treat the little tubs of pick n mix arn't so big that you can put a sickly amount of sweets in it, its just right in size.
Here is closer up pictures!
Needed a new one of these since my Hello Kitty one was on its last legs. Love these
£1 pearly blue liquid eyeliner that resists smudging and a bit of water? Yes please!
I was so ill I wore JEANS OMG and nice bit of card for drawing cards on...haha
Was recommended this for my eyelashes and it works well, though a bit clumpy :D
My third MUA lipstick, I am addicted
Haven't added to my collection in a while so here are some pastel shades :D
Kids ear muffs cause adults are too big for my head :(
I'm being Alice tomorrow ;D
Gonna cut the fingers off to make them like her gloves in the TB movie
Charity store find ;D
A water proof shopping bag, just what I needed!
And what I went back for the next day were these babies, my last self purchase for the month ;D

I love these so comfy!! And good for winter ;D
Now to go as in unbearable pain D:

My morning Routine!

Since I didn't really take photos yesterday (silly me!) I decided to do this blog on both yesterday AND my morning routine!!
Yesterday was really dull in terms of blogging about it I just exercised, had a bath, studyed and began making an animation on GoAnimate! I will post the link to the animation here tomorrow when its finished!! But perhaps not in this blog...MWUAHAHAH ahem..

Anyways here are the two pictures I took yesterday:
Dress from Peacocks, Dark green cardy from New Look, shiny dark blue tights.
I'M SHINEY LOOK hahaha!! Ahem anyways, that weather slowly got cloudier and cloudier and cold so no bike ride this day either :( BAW I WANT TO RIDE MY BICYCLE. Ah well, at least the end of the day was pretty:
Red sky at night, shepards delight!
And that was really it for Wednesday haha...ON TO THE MORNING ROUTINE
Thanks to iGoogle and Google Calanders, I now have a schedual I like trying to roughly stick too. Which goes as follows (this is for todays, Thursday)
0915-0930 ~ Breakfast
Nommy nommy nommy

0930-1030 ~ Write blog and bum on the net
1030-1100 ~ Get bath or shower (this varies day to day. Monday, Wednesdays and Fridays, this time is labeled Exercise and then 1100-1130 ~ Bath/Shower )
1200-1300 ~ Study
1530-1600 ~ Turn hot water on (for the boyfie! This doesn't apply to Fridays where he comes home early haha)

So thats my rough schedual, I also have a to do list which I like putting things on and see how many I can do!!
Now my morning routine that I am going to discuss starts with a bath or shower, where I wash my face. I use a face wash and a mild exfoliator in the mornings:
Clearasil Biactol Daily Gel Wash (I can only find this in Superdrugs!)
I squirt a bit on the Body Shops facial brush and lather up
Johnsons 3 in 1 gentle exfoliating facial wash. I like to use this as a gentle exfoliator just to buff my skin ready for moisturiser and make up.
Now on Sundays I use a different exfoliator once a week just to give it a good old scrubba dub dub
St Ives Apricot Scrub Blemish Fighting is love!!
I love St Ives Apricot scrubs, I use them on my face AND body!! They are just the best exfoliator I can get (cheaply)!!
Once I have got out of the bath or shower I spritz some of this on my skin and rub it in:
Avons Skin so Soft replenishing dry oil body spray
Makes my skin yummy and soft and keeps in the moisture of the bath. Its not as oily as baby oil and so doesn't leave a greasy residue on my skin for long!! I usually spray it on my arms and my lower legs!
When I get back in the room I apply a ton of stuff once again haha! I start off with deodrant, I prefer roll ons so they need some time to dry before placing clothes on so I do this first:
Dove goFresh 24h protection 0% alcohol
I love Dove roll ons as they are so non irratating and perfect for my sensitive skin!! Now being a slightly larger lady I do find myself succumb to sweating sometimes and I do get hot flushes. So this baby sorts that out on my underarms!
Next is my ever faithful toner which I love and will never replace as it never irritates my skin and it does its job:
Superdrugs Tea Tree oil cleanser and toner
I use this baby in the morning and let it dry on my skin before applying anything on top, I do love it so!
Next I apply moisturiser to my body and my current one in use is:
Nivea Happy Time!! Wheeee
I love Nivea, honest to god LOVE NIVEA. I use the body moisturiser and the lip balms and I have the cult favourite massive blue pot of the stuff which I slather on my face and neck once a week. The only problem is the facial stuff rides a bit on the pricey side so I just stick the the body stuff and the lipbalms!!
Just before I get dressed, I spritz on some perfume on my neck, clevage, wrists and back of the knees. My favourite perfume of all time is:
Beyond Paradise by Este Lauder <3
LOVE this such a nice scent and one my boyfie likes too!! And the bottle is so pretty and multicoloured, but I am running very low D: I need a new bottle!
Once I am dressed and decent I apply eye cream and face cream. If anyone knows a good eye cream for dark circles please tell me and I will test it!! Now my current one isnt TOO bad it moisturises and slightly reduces them but its not a big difference:
natural high brightening eye cream
You can buy this at Superdrugs as I said moisturises and reduces dark circles, but doesn't reduce them that much.
My facial cream at the moment is this:
The Body Shop Aloe Soothing Moisture Lotion SPF 15
Now this is alright but after a while it seperates, so I am looking for a new Day Moisturiser for less with SPF!! If you can recomend one, that would be cool :D Either that or I just look in Superdrugs, my most favourite store haha!! (Where I get a discount ;) )
With my hair, if I just washed it, I spritz a bit of this in ends after its dried a bit with the towel:
Aussie Lucious Long Leave-In Conditioner
I love Aussie stuff, I use their 3 Minute Miracle Hair Mask once a week and it smells LOVELY might have to convert all my hair stuff over to Aussie! I wonder if they do a good blonde shampoo...
If its a none washing my hair day, I spritz a bit of this in my hair to make sure its not greasy (my frindge can get greasy SO easily!)
batiste Dry Shampoo in Tropical
The best thing since sliced bread for ladies everywhere!! I have love for this!! I am always buying the different scents just to have a change each time, but I think I like this one best!!
Well, that is my morning routine, seems kinda long but it doesn't really take too long to apply all this stuff!! A few things I will change when they run out but others will be timeless :D

Thanks for reading!

Lolita Day and Fun Fridays

Hello smchexy people how goes your Saturday? Well yes I was too busy to do my Lolita Blog yesterday I apologise D: So you get a lovely uber long one on both day xD

On Thursday I started my day with a lovely shower and then nom noms:


OJ with weetos and rice milk!! I don't drink cows milk no more >_> Todays theme was Lolita, but I do not have any Lolita clothing so I had to improvise!! What I made was girly and cute, but not so much Lolita, but I was happy enough to go out and flounce about in it!




As you can see I had my hair in curly wurly bunches and my make up was just a goldy themed look to go with the ribbon tie round my neck!
My camera doesn't pick up my make up too well but I hope you can pick out the goldyness and my pink blusher. I was wearing pink lipgloss as well just to go for the super girly look!
Once I was ready I went off to catch a bus (I have a yearly bus pass so all buses in my area are free to me) and took the 45 minute journey into Portsmouth. I love Portsmouth, its my hometown and my birth place and I just love the shopping areas, especially Comercial Road!! My first stop was the Chinese store for my usual hoard of sweets!! I love banana and chocolate pocky and I always pick up a couple of packets! Heres what I bought:Those Hello Pandas were YUM soooooooo nice!! And I love those strawberry chewwies as well, I get them a lot xD
Next I went to H&M and immediately got confused because they have changed it around since last time. So I wandered through it and saw a really nice jumper for £19.99 I plan on buying when I get my monies. A HELLO KITTY JUMPER ARNT I COOL. I nearly fangirlsquealed when I saw this though:

They only used to have a SHELF and now they have all this so happy 8D Heres what I eventually bought from H&M after dancing round the aisle:
Just a lipbalm and a nail thingymabob from the Hello Kitty aisle (short on monies I am) and a strawberry face mask I plan on using on Sunday! I then had to check out the Pound Store cause I am cheap like that and I love getting cheap snacks!! I also had a gander at their toiletries and picked up a couple of things:
Those crispy rolls werent as nice as I remember but I LOVED those coconut creams I might have to buy more!! I bought some £1 Dove Holiday face cream so mebe I not be so pale this winter and also some anti wrinkle cream because you should prevent and not cure!! Also some cute pink cupcake cases! As it is national cupcake week next week for me!
Then I visited Superdrugs because I knew via another blog that they had cheap earrings there! And they did I was so happy I picked up three and some nail polish (that wasnt cheap but I love nail polish):
The nail polish is a navy blue and I plan to apply it Sunday!! I will take pics <3 onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdho1zMx4hePHvTUaryF2WC63OjSsMKJSuYWdyRji_17eGKGRG49W_We0D6enh_7kp0K6K6GxfRX93PZQnUscbEIHKF6vPRAJKM0ahn5u2emsUfRChylS2WzeHQexAE39zfGbSGBqUYJMr/s1600-h/SDC11052.JPG">
I also love snack a jacks and cranberry juice xD I just gulp the stuff down >_> Then I went to my daddies and made him some dinner then went home xD So concludes my Thursday

Onto Friday shall we!
Fridays are Fun Fridays and it was Ninja themed!!Ima ninja in ma fort!


With ma snacks:
OHM NOM NOM it was awesome being in that fort but I forgot to take a pic of the outside D: But here was my ninja casual outfit:
Me and my massive hips xD Well all day Friday I just stayed in my fort, watched tv, coloured in my pictures and nommed!! Was awesome pig out day.

And this concludes my massive blog. I hope it wasnt too massive tried to keep the text down xD
