CARNABY 20% SHOPPING PARTY

Another party!! The last shopping party Carnaby street had was in May and I purchased my first liquid foundation (hello MAC face and body, how you doing?), I still can't believe that they are having another party! The list is up there, if you are like me I am going at least a day in advance and figure out what they hell I need and come back on the actual date because there is always a crowd. You can get your ticket by registering over here. Here's to 20% off MAC, me thinks I will get my first lipstick or eye shadow or something I find it very hard to pass up the opportunity. And I might buy my brother a pair of Vans for Christmas...

See you there my luvies.

MAC FACE AND BODY FOUNDATION REVIEW

MAC face and body foundation, shade N12

My first ever liquid foundation, excuse me whilst I burst with pride. I went to MAC with my cousin and with 20% off I got my first liquid foundation. This foundation requires the highest praise, it is soo light you wont even know it is there, and it has such a natural sheer finish to it! It is water based so it does take a couple of minutes to set but it also means it wont clog your pores or cause breakouts. It has a squeeze thing so you dont need a pump and it is easy to get the right amount of foundation. It last really long, I can put it on at 8 in the morning and come home at 10 and it will still be there, I can work out at the gym and all I have to do it put a setting powder and all is well. Face and Body works amazingly well in photographs, it just looks like you have no foundation on. Its great in natural and artificial light so it could be your daily and going out foundation.

N12 swatch

It is really easy to blend and the coverage is light to medium but it is build-able. It is great for all skin types whether you have oily, dry or combination skin (hello, shiny t zone). Although only 11 shades are sold, they do match perfectly, my shade is N12 (I am NW50) and is NOT available online or in any MAC store, it is only available at Pro MAC stores. In my opinion I find that the make up artists at the Pro store in Carnaby street are the most helpful. I would honestly say this is the foundation to buy , and the price is pretty decent too £23.50 for 120 ml.

MAC WONDER WOMAN EYELINER REVIEW

                       

I luuurrrvvve wonder woman, I used to watch her on the Justice League when I was a kid, the 90's version and thanks to the wonderness that is the internets( hello, Youtube) I still do. She was soo bad ass and there was one episode where she just got so angry at the bad guys and started beating the hell out of them. Don't worry, they didn't die. Batman stopped her( they had some serious chemistry going on!). So when I heard MAC were doing a collection to the most awesome female superhero(sorry, She-Ra), I was pretty excited.

Now onto the goods, well just one, good, the penultimate eyeliner, it is massive. Like a giant Sharpie! My sister says it smells like a marker, it does. So I put it on, and my reaction was eh...(kanye shrug).Is this it?.. It really isn't black enough! Why?? Let the disappointment waves rush in. It really does look like I got my black marker and drew a line with it. I also did the 'sleep test' with it as eyeliner is the makeup product I wear daily for hours on end, it failed. Not miserably though, it's just that I can not justify £17.50 on a marker, I do not care even if it has the wonder woman logo on it. In the end I had to take it back and got the mineralize skin finish in deep dark instead. We'll see how it goes.
