Spree!
Today I had a gorgeous day, I took my hubby out shopping on his birthday and also ended up getting a few things for myself :)
Firstly I present to you "Natural Flare" eyeshadow quad from the CC collection by Mac. The whole collection looked amazing, I wanted everything but I had to be sensible. The quads all looked beautiful, but I love my golden earth tones and natural flare just screamed at me.
Once I swatched them, my jaw dropped, they are just so pretty, I love the glitter in them. they have a rustic edge which I like. It was £14, I think that's a fair price for four mineralised eye shadows. In my opinion these colours aren't easily duped. The orange gold is my favourite, it's super gorgeous!
I had a back to Mac ready so I asked my hubby to pick me a lipstick, first he went for "Fresh Brew" but I already had that, then he looked at "Made with love" from the CC collection and was like "try that" I thought it was too bright, but it's actually not. It's a lustre, so it's quite sheer. It's a perfect coral shade with an ever so slight blue tinge to it.
Everything from CC looked fabulous, I didn't have much time to swatch everything, but I definitely want more :) the 131 brush looked OK, I don't think it's as big as what I expected though. Colour Crafted lipstick was nice, I nearly got that, which is a bright nude pink but I decided I have too many nudes. Will keep you updated with my thoughts!
I also managed to snap Nars Albatross from a blog sale recently, it's the perfect highlighter for your upper cheekbones and brow bone. I have been wearing it everyday since I got it. It's like a pressed version of Mac's Vanilla pigment.
I had some French Connection vouchers, so again I let my hubby choose for me :) he's so cute! He picked this gorgeous print top! I love it, it looks sooo lovely on!
We spent AGES in Hollister! I seriously wanted everything, I love the relaxed surfer style! I like to dress up but I also like to dress down! In the end we chose this turquoise tight top which looks amazing on! Love it! My hubby got quite a few things which he looks amazingly hot in!

I didnt get that CC eyeshadow because im trying to use my illamasqua orange stuff up.. but you made it look sooo good.. haha
I am now on project 5 pan (something a few of us are trying.. not inc. body products as they get used quick) so ill have to just admire it from afar!
xx
@Tali natural flare will go lovely with puzzle from illamasqua! ooo :) project 5 pan ha? good luck :) im not joining, if i use 5 things up i probably wont even replace it, becoz i wont b able to afford it :) im just buying what I need and MUST HAVE! I'm being sensible :) xx
Im v.impressed with your hubbie's choices. Men continue to suprise me like that. I think its because they arent emotional.. they know what suits us. We have deep feelings of attraction to the wrong make-up just because its pretty!..or at least I do! xx
I bought Natural Flare e/s and a load of other CC stuff too. Will update my blog 2mor - I'm knackered!
Your hubby has good taste too! Love the coral lipstick. I bet it looks great with your tan <3
I so want the full version of Albatross because it's one of the best highlighters I have ever worn! But I have the one in my Nars bridal palette, so I should be using that.
Ciao bella!

Loving the accessories! xx
And Accessorize sales are the best! xx

I'm surprised you dress down! I just started wearing flat shoes and "surfer style" clothing(like you named it)lately.
What kind of fall/winter shoes do you own? I'm asking you because I need some inspiration. In winter I always wear a pair or high healed leather boots but they're so unpractical for the snow storms we get here. What should I go for? Cowboy style? I'm terrible at picking things for a relaxed look... especially shoes. Maybe you could do a post with you fall/winter shoe collection.
