MAC Lipsticks/ Ruby Woo (Retro Matte) & Girl About Town (Amplified)
Nyx Jumbo Eye Pencil/ 617- Iced Mocha

So I've come back with a mini beauty haul with some things I managed to acquire from across the pond. As well as the mini haul I've had a mini leave of absence (sorry!), mainly because I went to Zante for a week with the girls. It was a very urmmm, interesting experience and to be honest even though my body clock is extremely messed up and I came back with the worst cough ever I really do wish I was back there, counting down to #NAPA2015 already, and it's not even booked ahha. So after a few days of a well deserved recovery I thought I'd show you some of the products that were waiting for me on my pillow when I got back from Zante much to my surprise and admittedly did help rid some of my holiday blues.


I've been wanting some of these products for ages, especially as a few of them are harder to get in the UK than brands like MAC. I can't wait to properly try the Soft Matte Lip Creams, I've swatched them and they smell sooooo good (somewhat chocolatey) although you don't buy lip products for their smell that must be a good sign right?! Secondly is the Smashbox Primer, now to be honest when it comes to primers I had kind of given up before even trying, I couldn't bring myself to invest in a product that I wasn't 100% sure would make a difference and was probably to lazy to use. With this being $36 I'm glad it was a gift so I can actually give it a go and see whether it increases the longevity of my make-up, because I wouldn't have paid that much. Next up are two MAC lipsticks Girl About Town a lovely bright pink with an Amplified finish and the matte Ruby Woo. I do feel slightly ashamed that I blog and I didn't previously own Ruby Woo, better late than never eh? Last but not least (this phrase should be banned but I will use it regardless) is the Nyx Jumbo Eye Pencil, I cannot wait to try these out and cannot believe I am just trying one, hopefully I will be snapping up a lot more colours in the near future!


Have you tried any of these products or are you lusting over any products from America, let me know below and make sure to follow

  7. I know this post is a year old, but I can totally relate to it right now haha! It annoys me so much that I can't get my hands on certain products that are only stocked in the states. I can't wait to get my hands on NYX liquid suede in 'sandstorm' seriously!!xx
