Well I've started November with a few spends - first of all MAC's Holiday release Tartan Tale, as I said in a previous post as time went on less and less of the collection appealed to me - I still want a pigment set when the mini sets come out but I just ordered 2 things from Part 1.
The first thing I ordered wasn't a make up item it was Sir Teddy - All proceeds from the little Tartan chap made by top toy maker Gund go to MAC's Kids Helping Kids fund to help children with AIDS and HIV - once I saw him I couldn't resist I love tartan, and it goes to a good cause
look at his cute little patent bow tie
he's fully jointed and he can stand up :)
He's sold out on the MAC site now but if you can get him it's for a good cause :)
Next up a make up item and the only one from the collection that I had to have, a lipstick in The Faerie Glen
The perfect nude pink shade a little paler that it appears here I am seriously debating a back up already it really is my lips but better x
Oooo surprisingly for MAC I got a free sample in all the little black boxes I've had from MAC I have never had a freebie but I got a little tube of Prep + Prime Face :)
I also got a few bits when I went out today and well as a few Christmas pressies I used one of the £5 Boots No7 / Ruby + Millie vouchers which are around again and instead of buying make up I bought the No7 Radiance Boosting Hot Cloth Cleanser (sorry for the crap pics damn dark nights)
I am interested to try this and see how it compares the my beloved Liz Earle Cleanse + Polish I'll definitely keep you posted with my voucher I got it for just £4 which can't be bad :)
I also popped into my local Semi-Chem and bought yet another foundation - another one I here you cry - well it was less than £3 so I thought it was worth a try - it was the NYC Natural Matte Foundation in 001 Ivory
I don't know what it's like but for the price it was definitely worth a go x
So that was my mini haul - that brought me near my spending diet limit on day 4 of the month eeek no matter if you would like any reviews or you have any questions please let me know xx
the tartan tale collection is soooo fabulous!
ReplyDeleteHow I wish I had a mac store near me. Or...wait, maybe I don't. Maybe it's better this way (so does the wallet say).
I'm really interested in seeing the boots hcc in comparison to my beloved liz earle's.
