Update:Outfits,make up,nails and recent revlon lipsticks I brought plus swatches:)

So before my recent blush boom,I was craving lipsticks(still am really:O)

So after browsing my local Superdrugs and looking at the new realesed Revlon lipsticks~Color Burst

I felt drawn to the matt collections,I don't usually buy lipsticks especially drugstore ones as I find most have a lustre on them which i think looks old.

Anyways I found myself really liking alot of Revlon's lipsticks,Im usually abit wary of buying lipsticks as i don't fully know what colours suit me and I worry they'll look rubbish.So after going home empty handed I had a gander on ebay to try and find one particular colour I felt drawn to Strawberry suede and ended up finding 4 brand new lipsticks for about £10 :O which is brill considering they retail at £7.50 each!

So I ended up getting ,Nude Attitude(which I wanted to try),Pink Pout, Pink about it and Strawberry Suede(which was the one i wanted in the 1st place)

Swatches

Nude Attitude

Pink Pout

Pink about it

Strawberry Suede

So I like them all but my fave now is Pink Pout,I think the darker colours ages me alittle but still wearable.
however I really need to wear a lipliner with these lipsticks,so I shall have to invest:)

So my current Lipstick collection looks like this now

All the Revlons on the left then, YSL #7 (<3), Rimmel Pink Vintage, Rimmel Sassy and finally Barry-m 101

Swatches of some of my other lipsticks

Barry-m 101

I never wear this on its own,I don't find it a particularly nice formula but it works well at concealing your lipcolour,so I use it as a base for nude lips and add pink gloss over it.

YSL #7

A fair few gyaru models have this lipstick, Kumikki, Suzu, Tsubasa (their the only ones i can think of off the top of my head)

Rimmel Vintage Pink

I forgot to swatch the other one:o

Next lipsticks I have my eye on are MAC's Myth and Creamcup,I've added them to my wish list:)

Some other photos from recently.(i.e from the lash month till now)

Evening out at the Pub for a leaving do and the very 1st wear of my W<3C skirt~ love it!

EOTD make up for the Evening

After Seeing Jenny's(aka SushiCat) post about theses lashes I had to buy some aswell,I've got cheap bulk ebay lashes before,but for some reason hadn't brought any more cute/different styles.Such a good way to try them out and so cheap it doesn't matter if you ruin themby layering them up:D

Nails for that week( can't take credit for the design,I was trying to do the mani that Rui has in my gal model blog spam)
Simple nude and baby pink with a few diamantes:)

Went out for a jdrama night at my friend's house,so simple make up and played around with my hot rollers:D
Forgot how much I like them,wearing the criss cross lashes from above

Playing around with the other lashes I brought,there epically long.I've nevr had a pair that touch the glasses of my glasses before:O

Went out for a friends birthday ,so dollied myself up

The works,rollers,circle lenses,both top and lower lashes,

EOTN make up photos

and my nails for this week:) OPI's Do you lilac it? with GOSH Rainbow over it(love this polish~ may includ it in my next giveaway:D)

:o I tried to make this as small as possible but it's still a large post,sorry

Update:Leicester purchases and some blush swatches

So 3rd post today,no I've not gotten fired from work,Im just energised to post.I've been lagging the last couple of months and I don't want this blog to just disappear because of my lack of effort.So Im making more of an effort to be more active.

First off,thank you very much for all the recent comments,i still can't access my account to reply,but i will,thank you for being patient,if there s a questions you reaaly want to ask you can formspring me or twitter or the chatbox on the side.
The comments for the the 1st vlog were very encouraging and have definitely contributed to my sudden energy to blog,so thank you very much for all the positive and lovely wordsXD I shall vlog again...hmm what about thou,any suggestions?

Any ways on to my entry for this evening ,as you may know if your a regular reader I vistied Leicester about 2/3 weeks ago ,but never posted what i actually brought ~which wasn't alot on account of me being epically hungover on the Saturday I'd planned to shop:O However I did pick up a few things I had been craving recently but aren't avalible in my town.

Yep I went to Leicester and ONLY came back with 1 MAC products(Fix+) and a new Topshop cream blush...(the Vitacreme B12 was from ebay and was waiting for me when i got back home)

Although my town has a Topshop ,the make up collection isn't in all of their branches ,I was alittle skeptical of them releasing a make up range how ever its not their 1st(showing my age:O)I've got an topshop eyeshadow i brought when I was about 13.
I'd seen a lot of good reviews especially about their cream blushes,so when i got there I couldn't pick between Neon Rose and Flush,I decided on the Neon Rose in the end as I have far too many pinks and variety is the spice of life:D

Cue Blush swatched of all my blushes:D

4 of my 5 blushes~love them all!!

From top left clockwise: MAC Azalea Blossom, MAC Well Dressed, TopShop Neon Rose and finally Sleek Pixie Pink

With flash

In daylight

I'll do a mini review of them in another post along with some other items I've been meaning to review:)

UK gals ~I highly recommend the Sleek Pixie Pink blush(the square one) its very pink and very pigmented and it reminds me of NARS -Desire and Candydolls bright pink(though I've neither so I can't say for certain if its a dupe) Cost~About £3/4ish pound bargain in comparison to NARS and Candydoll

Some gal related youtube vids

So I'm actually sitting in front of my computer for longer then I have in about 2 weeks,I ought to be commenting people/sending cvs/other important thing but I'm easily distracted and felt like searching youtube for vids of Kumikki(cos I couldn't remember is she had a silly squeaky voice...hmm random i know)
In my search I found some interesting looking vids,I only pick up bits and pieces of Japanese ,so I'm not 100% sure what some of these are about.

Anyways...

Looks like an interesting show

Seems to be part of a series shes done, her make up is fabulous(as always)

A bit unrelated and as silly as it is to admit seeing as i have curlers etc etc but I still kinda want one of these,there probably rubbish.

Go check out A tube as well for vids of Suzu ,Romihi and Kanako,they do make overs etc

ichibankao, a good place to get Japanese cosmetics

This is just a reminder post (since I've mentioned it before:D) about getting Japanese cosmetic outside of Japan,as Sara Mari just posted about Canmakes Vitamin orange cream blush(so tempted to buy) and I thought I'd remind people of a great place to get it without using a shopping service.

This isn't a advert,I just feel quite passionately about telling you all about it.

Ichibankao

I've used them before and will use them again:DSimple to use and lots of products to choice from including high end cosemtics such a Jill Stewart and Anna Sui(amongst others) as well as the drug store brands.

Heres some examples of popular items they sell

Canmake blush

1200 yen (includes shipping) £8 $13

Candydoll Blush

1900 yen £14 $21

Melliesh Blush

2150 Yen £16 $24

Cosmagic sweet Deco blush

2350 Yen £17 $26

Just to point out that MAC blushes are £16.50 and NARS blushes are £19.50 so you can get a comparison on the prices.

Why are they all blushes?

No reason other than I seem to be on a really big blush high at the moment,last month I couldn't get enought of polishes and this month its blushes! I seem to favour one type of beauty product every now and then.

Im still lusting after NARS Orgasm blush and now Im wanting MACs Peachykeen and Melba Blushes too:O

So much peach:D

One of my fav polish at the moment is OPI's Coney Island Cotton Candy

Love this,it was pretty chip resistant too.
