Stratfield MAC Haul

Ever since locating the 'hidden' MAC store in Westfield, Stratford, I have been making regular trips swatching, gawking and in some cases buying.

Now I would like to think I have been a fairly good girl lately as I have not had a big haul since the IMATS in early february and let's face it . . . in the Blogosphere that could be considered practically angelic!!! With spring and summer approaching, I have decided to opt for softer shades so this MAC haul is really going to represent that. As I am an eyeshadow chica rather than a lipstick lover, I grabbed myself Sushi Flower, Folie, Stars 'n' Rockets, Bisque and Wedge and for my lipstick, I FINALLY managed to grab Jubilee *Woohoo - Fanfare*

 Bisque, Folie and Wedge are all wearable neutral browns with Folie being the darker of the trio, which I can already predict will be used primarily as a crease or contour shade; as I have been looking softer alternative to MAC's Handwritten. Bisque and Wedge will probably find themselves taking up a residence in the highlight section of my MAC palette.

Stars 'n' Rocket is a shade of purple I've had my eyes on for a while but haven't bought because my brain always tricked me into believing that I already owned it, when I did a mental check of the colours in my palette but I finally have it now *evil laugh*.

Last but not least, Sushi Flower. Sushi Flower was just such a pretty shade of pink and I just felt I had to have it. To be honest, I really do not know what is going on with me and the colour pink these day, maybe I have finally been Barbie-fied . . . (-__-) . . . Ok that's not likely but still me likey me some pink.

Jubilee . . . The way I have searched high and low for this shade of lipstick. I finally own another MAC nude lipstick and I love this sooo much more than Fresh Brew. I can;t wait to do a review on this, I really have found the perfect nude for me

So that's what the Stratfield MAC store held for me. What do you think of my whole softer colours inititative???

Kate Moss For Rimmel

"Look what I've got" 

* sing-song voice*

On a totally impromptu trip to the Bond Street Superdrug this week, I locked eyes on the Kate Moss Collection for Rimmel and it really does look every bit as appealing as I heard (and read) it would be.

Bronzed and Patriotic . . Reminds me of a certain Person I know ;)

The Eyeshadows which come in a range of purples, browns, greens and a really random Union flag coloured blue,white and pink combination, looked really pigmented (and patriotic), while the casing for the lipstick looked absolutely gorgeous!!! I know you shouldn't judge a make up product by its packaging but this time I have to make an exception.

I picked up the Kate Moss Lipstick in shade 08, which comes in a pinky brown shade; perfect for a nude lippie *for me anyway* and also the bronzed out eyeshadow palette. So far I've had a little play around with both the lippies and eyeshadows and I actually really love the way the shades show up on my skin. I can't preach about the durability yet but I feel it the eyeshadow should last for a good while before becoming dull but then again only time will tell.
