Makeup Haul!

My favourite place to shop in Barbados has quickly become Collins in Broad Street, Bridgetown. 

They stock loads of Maybelline products at very affordable prices, also they stock brands like Essie and Sally Hansen as well as loads of skincare brands - including Garnier.

Below are my recent purchases-, also, I went sometime last week, and found lipstick holders (which I was considering buying on Amazon) which held 9 lipsticks in each holder for around $7bds - naturally I bought all of them, so I ended up with 4 holders.

 

 

So, the Garnier BB Cream has been getting loads of hype in the beauty community, and it is definitely worth it- such good consistency and coverage! I even got my mother hooked on it! The only downside is that there are only 2 shades - Light/Medium (which I have) and Medium/Deep. This product was around $30 (kinda pricey)

The Maybelline Fit Me Concealer is also another holy grail product - really good for under the eyes - not too thick and blends well - I got this in 15 which is a light colour with pink undertones.

The Age Rewind Dark Spot Corrector is pretty good, but I havent tried it out alot - I wish they brought in the more popular Under Eye corrector instead!

I haven't tried The Rocket mascara - still trying to work my way through some others I have, and the Eye Studio gel liner - I've only used once, but I can definitely say - ladies DONT buy MAC Blacktrak gel eyeliner --This is wayyyyyyyyyy better! - it is a blacker black (if that makes sense), and has way better staying power.

The Maybelline Colour Tattoo's are still great - I now have 4 shades - I really like the pomegranate punk shade for my blue eyes.

 The Baby Lips colour I got was in Cherry Me and I've used it every single day since I bought it! Must be a sign that I love it..

The Essie nailpolishes were the first Essie polishes I've ever bought, and they are great! I really like the formula, and they are cheaper (only $12.50) and better quality than the Revlon ones which are around $18

Hope you enjoyed this mini review!

Easy Nail Ideas!

So I've been really into doing interesting but easy nail art designs..

This one is OPI's Dulche De Leche - such a pretty pinky brown colour and then I did an accent nail gradient type design, where I first put a fine silver glitter nail colour on the top 1/3rd of the nail, and then on top of that I put Milani's Jewel FX silver glitter polish mainly on the tip of the nail..
These were my birthday nails, and they came out gorgeous! I did the same concept on my toes as well, with the silver gradient being on my big toe..

Dulche De Leche

 This second one was a little bit more time consuming, but definitely worth it! 

These were my Spring/Easter nails, I did them specifically for Easter weekend actually. 

For the pink base I used Revlon's Top Speed Dry Polish in Cupid, and then for my first finger, for the base I used Revlon Colorstay Polish in Pale Cashmere (one of my all time favourite polishes) and for the dots I used a dotting tool and placed random dots on the nail using the same Cupid from Revlon. 

For my middle finger I just used Milani Jewel FX glitter polish in Silver for the whole nail. 

On my ring finger I used Cupid from Revlon and then I placed a silver nail rhinestone on the bottom centre of the nail. For my pinky and thumb, I used the same Cupid as well as a coat of a iridescent glitter top coat - mine was from Jordana.

Hope you try out these simple nail designs and have fun with them!!

Update - June 4th 2013

Well, well, well, I plead guilty to lagging with my posts again...

These past three months have been unbelievably busy, I turned 21 on March 4th and finished my last term of university on May 17th -but I'm still waiting for my results to comeback -hopefully on June 13th!
I will have an undergraduate law degree, and this September, I shall be off to law school in Trinidad and Tobago for 2 years--

Here's to a whole new journey!!

I've decided to take a break this summer and not get a summer job, so I can relax before the hectic life of law school begins *cough* watch True Blood all day. This means I will have way more time to write..

Let the makeup obsessed writing begin!!
