Sorry - I can see I am going to be MIA a bit till I get my laptop back - I have to say I almost shed a tear when UPS came to pick it up yesterday to take it back to Samsung - hurry back my friend :( Anyways it was my mums birthday yesterday so we had a lovely day - I made her a gorgeous meal of mushroom stroganoff and a gorgeous blackberry and white chocolate mousse - very yummy but not good for the waistline - lol. Anyways I have got a few parcels over the last couple of days - my giveaway prize from the lovely Lydia deserves a post of its own so hopefully I will show you all my lovely goodies tomorrow, but in the meantime Ireceived a MAC parcel,a perfume parcel, and a huge box of goodies to review (more on that to come in the next few weeks:) )
MAC released some of their new collections in the UK last week so I placed a little order when I ordered my giveaway prizes (my giveaway ends tomorrow - don't forget to enter - see below ) One of my must have items from the new collections was The Perfect Cheek blush - its a gorgeous natural colour, which unusually for me is matte - its certainly love - I wore it yesterday and today :)
I also ordered a couple of the nail polishes - Dry Martini - which is actually a much darker brown / olive - it looks minging in this pic but it honestly isn't that bad :)and Beyond Jealous which is a gorgeous dark teal - these colours will be gorgeous for winter :)
I also ordered yet another nude lipstick whoops! Very like Illamasqua Sonnet this is Close To Real
I also got one of the eyeshadow quads - the green one - Photo Realism - I love the gold highlight shade on the top left
I also ordered a couple of the starflash formulas from the last collections - One Off -the green and Unbasic White as well as a new 15 pan palette - roll on a depotting fest :)
I also got a little perfume though the post from The Fragrance Shop . I recently spotted a perfumes in Boots and knew I had to have it - I was initially going to buy it then and there but for some reason I didn't. I recently watched a video from the fabulous FoundOnFilm where she bought this perfume from The Fragrance Shop for a much better price (£7.99 as opposed to £12.50) and not only that but you get a free bracelet - bargain! The perfume that I'm talking about is super sweet but in a good way and I love it - it is Hello Kitty x
There you go - the shopaholic returns with a vengeance lol - don't forget my giveaway ends lunch time tomorrow xx
Everything is gorgeous! Happy birthday to your mom! I wish your laptop a safe happy return!! :)

Thanks for making a separate post on the package I sent you. I'm so glad it only took a little time to get to you! Everything sent TO Italy is damn slow, cos our posts are utter crap!
Your MAC purchases are wonderful...I wish we had MAC stores on my island :( and I wish I weren't a "poor student" too uahahah

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Mom! Your dinner and dessert sounded yummy. I'd be lost without my computer. I live on this thing. Love the Mac blush. It looks like a fantastic color. I so want to order from Mac. I'm waiting and waiting for my new bank card. I so want Dry Martini. It looks like a Revlon Streetwear polish I had years ago and gave away like an idiot! Enjoy all your stuff,
ReplyDeletethose hello kitty items are so cute =D
ReplyDeletehappy birthday to your mom!
Thanks everyone -I can't believe how much I miss my laptop lol
ReplyDelete@geek_kitten - they are completely different BNB is much darker where as CTR as much much lighter - more of a lip concealer - very like Barry M 101 or GOSH Darling :)

ReplyDeleteThanks Lou....may have to invest in it then, one can never have too many different nude lippies :D
