Blogmas Day 7 | MAC Woodwinked Eye Shadow



 I recently did a MAC haul blog post in which I mentioned a review of this eye shadow coming soon! Well here it is. I'm not all clued up on what the different formula names mean (this is my only MAC Eye shadow) but apparently this one is a Veluxe Pearl which is nice. I assume the pearl bit is talking about the way it's shiny, but not in a shimmer way, more metalic but like a peal (can you tell I have no idea whatsoever) I love bronze eye shadow as I think it goes well with my blue/grey eyes. I wear this quite a lot blending it, on its own, all over the lid and into the crease. This looks really nice as when its blended it seems to go darker so it looks like a lot more effort was taken than was. I also like layering this over Maybelline's colour tattoo in On and on Bronze. I put the colour tattoo over the lid, blend Woodwinked into the crease and outer third. That is one of my favorite eye looks for day and night. The formula of the eye shadow is really soft and blendable and has amazing pigmentation.  Definitely a great all rounder for me!

Blogmas Day 3 - November Favourites

For  today's post I thought I'd  share a few of my favorite (or most used) things from November.


MAC Studio Sculpt Foundation - NC15

I love this foundation! Although a little on the pricey side, compared to my usual foundation from boots, this is definitely worth the price tag. I have worn it nearly everyday since I got it. It matches my skin tone pretty much perfectly and it lasts a long time! I will be doing a full review on my blog soon so keep your eye out! Find it here!

Maybelline Colour Tattoo - On and On Bronze

This is pretty much a staple product in my makeup life. As you can probably tell I have used a lot of it! I wear it most days because it's so quick and easy. Just smudge it over the lid with my finger and I'm good to go. Its also a really good base for other bronze eye looks.

MAC Eye Shadow - Woodwinked

I love this eye shadow! It looks amazing on its own over the lid and blended in the crease. However, I have been putting it over the Maybelline colour tattoo recently and its a look I really like. There's a blog post for this coming soon too!

Carmex

This is a must have for me. When the weather starts getting colder my lips suffer a lot. I haven't found something that helps them as well as Carmex. Slather a bit of this on and my lips feel so much better!

Boots Coconut & Almond Intensive Hair Mask

My hair has been very dry recently and it tangles up really quickly no matter what I do. (I swear it practically dreadlocks within a day). To de-tangle it this works wonders. I wash my hair then lather a generous amount of this on and leave it for about 5 min. Its still a struggle but after this i can actually manage to brush through my hair without too much hair pulling. It smells pretty great too!

Boots - Topshop

I got these boots last year and they are still going strong which is pretty impressive since I wore them practically everyday. They are really warm and I love the way they look. They look great with boots, leggings and tights. They are comfy for long days walking around too!

Jumper - Primark

I bought this jumper in early November and have wore it so much! It is really warm and comfy. Its soft to so no itchy arms like other jumpers I own. The length means I can wear it with jeans, leggings or shorts. I love the burgundy/purple and black colours. It is perfect for snuggling up in on a cold morning walk to lectures! I can't remember the exact price but I think it was around £14 and its available in other colours too!

The Fault in our Stars - John Green

I have never wrote about a book on my blog before but this one was so good I couldn't not include it in my faves! I cant really say much about the story line (I don't want to provide any spoilers). All I will say is if you like books that will make you laugh and cry (mainly on the train, not a good look for me) then this is the book! I recommend reading about it on amazon (or where ever you buy your books). I would say this tops the list of my favorite books!

November seemed to go so quickly, it's still sinking in that its December already! 
Have you tried any of these?

Haul | MAC

Hey, just a quick post to show you what I got from MAC recently. I only owned one MAC lipstick before this so I'm very excited! I have had my eye on the eye shadow Woodwinked for a while now and I am super happy to finally have it its a really pretty bronze colour and I have worn it pretty much everyday since I got it. I have been needing a decent foundation for a while no matter how many I try from boots they never seem to work for me. I asked for a sample of the studio sculpt foundation and fell in love with it. Its alot more expensive than foundations I'm used to buying but its definitely worth it since it actually works on my skin!

What I bought:

MAC Studio Sculpt Foundation NC15 - £25
MAC Eye shadow in Woodwinked - £12.50

I love both of these products and will be doing reviews for both soon.
