Woah! As if May has been and gone already... 

I've been slacking for so long on my blogging so this is just a really quick post.

Mini Beauty Haul

Hey Guys! I haven't blogged in a while due to a hectic university timetable but I have been shopping!

I bought myself some new glasses and a lush iPad Mini (check my Instagram)

but I've been buying some gorgeous new beauty products so I thought I'd share them.

Benefit - They're Real Mascara £19.50

 I avoided trying this mascara for so long because I couldn't justify the high price but when I gave in and bought I understood the hype! I love it and it WILL be repurchased!
(Price too high? - Try the mini versions sold in Boots)

Maybelline Eraser Eye Concealer in Light - Here at Superdrug

I decided to give this under eye concealer a go after watching countless YouTube videos featuring in it. I've used other drug store under eye concealers but I definitely like this one as it suits my skin tone more and covers my dark circles really well!

New MAC lipsticks, Yay!!
I re-purchased So Chaud in Amsterdam recently after losing the one I bought in Canada last summer which I was annoyed about. I love this colour, it's a coral -red.
I really wanted to stray from my comfort zone of red lipsticks so I went onto the MAC website and bought Girl About Town and Flat Out Fabulous. 

Girl About Town is a purpley pink amplified colour and Flat Out Fabulous is a retro matte, deep berry colour (my favourite so far).

With Flash - £15 each

Without Flash

I previously used a Barry M eyebrow definer gel wand to set my eyebrows but because i was clear it sometimes took the colour of the hairs of my eyebrows so I bought this Benefit Speed Brow.
It was pricey at £13.50 for such a small wand and amount of product (3.0g Net wt. 0.10oz)
However, I'm impressed with it! Its colour isn't too dark and coats my brows eventually and keeps them set all day. I highly recommend trying this.

MUA Luxe Velvet Lip Lacquer Review

I was looking for Lime Crime lipstick online and came across a lot of people saying that the new MUA Luxe Velvet Lip Lacquer was a good dupe for Lime Crime Lipstick, so decided to try it out!

I bought this lipstick in the colour Reckless. 

Its a dark red which reminds me of MAC's Russian Red, Rimmel Kate Matte Wine 107 and Lime Crime Glamour 101 

If you wanted a bright, vibrant red I wouldn't recommend this as its dark and dries even darker then when applied.

It retails on the MUA website and at Superdrug for £3 which you can't complain about!

The actual lipstick is pretty thick so one coat is enough. It dries matte which is perfect with an almost velvet texture -hence the name-

I wore this for about 5 hours and drank a few glasses of juice and noticed it did wear off but only slightly where my lips came into contact with the glass. I'm in love with this lipstick! It didn't fade at all or transfer onto my fingers or clothes - BARELY onto the glass when I drank.

This is a perfect dupe for so many colours and at such a cheap price I know I'll go out and try the other colours.
