What I Wore Wednesday- Haul

What I Wore Wednesday

This week's What I Wore Wednesday is a mini haul from a recent shopping trip. I went shopping in the Jervis Centre and a Brown Thomas on Grafton Street. 

Inglot

I bought another one of my Under Make Up base primer. This is my second tube of this primer, I love using it on nights out. I also bought one of their lipsticks in the shade 118, it's a really pretty pink mauve shade.

Mac

I also popped into MAC and bought one of their matte lipsticks in the shade "Velvet Teddy."

River Island

A few weeks ago I bought these rose gold sandals from River Island to go with my dress for my 21st party. However, I ended up buying a different pair from Korky's and returning these.

Boots

In Boots, I bought a new bottle of the Katy Perry Royal Revolution perfume.

Penney's/Primark

The last store I went into was Penney's, I bought a pair of black basic leggings in a size 10 for 6 euro.


I also bought this pink top for 6 euro in a size 12.


I HAD to buy this lipstick holder for only 3 euro.
For 1.50euro I bought a new eye lash curler


I picked up another tanning mitt though I can't remember how much it was.


I decided to try their beauty sponge for 1.50 to see what it was like compared to ones I already own.


Another 1.50 pick up was this pack of 4 nail files.


The last item I purchased was this portable phone charger for 9euro, I wanted to see if it worked and for 9 euro I didn't mind.

So that's it for this week's What I Wore Wednesday, I hope you enjoyed today's blog!

Beauty Thursday

Beauty Thursday


This week's Beauty Thursday is dedicated to my review of the August Glossybox. The box this month was super adorable and I was happy overall with the products inside.

Mudmasky Facial Detox Purifying Mask

The first item we received this month was this sample size purifying mud mask, the full size is worth £53 so it would definitely want to work! The mask claims to detox the skin, it refines and tightens pores while hydrating, smooth and brighten skin. It doesn't smell the best but I liked the look of my skin when I used the mask.

Cow Shed Body Lotion

One product we received this month was this sample of body lotion from Cow Shed. I was impressed with the amount of product we got for a sample size and it made my skin feel hydrated and soft however, I couldn't get passed the smell and normally scents don't really bother me.

RAE Feather mini monogram pochette

This was a full sized pochette worth £20.  The pochette is adorable and will be a perfect for my make up bag in my hand bag.

Spa to You Deep Pore Facial Cleansing Brush

Another full size product this month was this mechanical facial cleansing brush worth £6.99. This is like a Clarisonic except instead of it using battery you rotate the brush yourself into your skin. You simply wet the brush and apply your normal cleanser.

MUA Eye Shadow Palette

Lastly, we received this full sized eye shadow from MUA worth £4. We have received an MUA product from Glossybox before so I was really excited about this and unsurprisingly it didn't disappoint! I was so impressed with the swatches of the eye shadows, honestly the photo doesn't do it justice, they were packed with pigment and glitter as well as feeling nice and creamy. The only shade which had a bit of fallout was the black one but if I'm ever doing a glittery or dramatic look I tend to do the eyes first so it wouldn't be a problem for me. I do not understand how this is only £4!

Beauty Thursday

Beauty Thursday

This week's Beauty Thursday is dedicated to this bright Summer make up look. I chose to keep it really simple with the eyes and just have them bronzed with some winged liner and have a bright lip perfect for Summer.

Today I started off with my eyes first. I primed them with the E.L.F Mineral eye shadow primer and then applied tape to the corners of my eyes as a guide for doing my wings. Once the tape was applied, I used E.L.F's baked shadow in "toasted" all over my lids and blended into the crease, to intensify the shadow I spritzed the E.L.F Mist and Set spray on my shadow brush and then blended the shadow.

I then lined my eyes with the MUA Precision felt liner giving myself  slight wing. Once the liner dried a removed the tape.

Once my liner was dry I buffed my Bourjois Radiance Reveal Healthy Mix foundation in to my skin with my Blank Canvas F20 brush and the set my foundation with my Rimmel Stay Matte powder.

Next I did a light contour with my Polvo De Sol contour duo and then bronzed with my Essence Mosaic bronzer. I used Benefit Majorette as a blush and used the highlighter from my Sleek trio. 

I then went back to finish my eyes lining the upper lash line with my Kajal black pencil and I lined the lower waterline with my SO Susan Highlighting pencil. I recently only got my HD Brows redone so I just applied some Rimmel Brow gel to keep them in place. To complete my eye's I applied the Lancome Hypnose Drama mascara.

To complete my look, I lined my lips with my MUA lip liner in the shade "Red Drama" and then went over them with the Essence Liquid Lipstick in the shade " "

Polvos De Sol Deliplus
