A Dress? No.
I was looking to buy a dress today and I came home without. Instead I managed to come home with these! Talk about distraction! :)
The item I am most excited about is the 'Mac face and body foundation'. I have wanted it for AGES, I have never tried a Mac foundation as I have always been in love with my Bobbi brown bases. I just applied it and it's beautiful. But, it's not for everybody. It has a very sheer finish and doesn't offer much coverage. It sets after a few seconds but it still leaves a very slight luminous finish that looks like healthy skin and not foundation. It's £23 for 120ml which is HUGE.
I got it in the shade C4 even though my shade is C3 as I will get darker in the next few months. As the formula is so sheer, you can't even tell that it's a tiny bit dark for me.
Lovin' The Pink!
I casually browsed through Superdrug and picked up 'Pink Pixie' blush from Sleek, a lipliner from L'oreal studio secrets, a Barry M lipgloss in 'Strawberry Milkshake' and 'Strawberry Ice cream' nail polish.
I also picked up 2 books.
It's not just about wrinkles by Neal B Schultz M.D - Written by a dermatologist who shares his knowledge on how to perfect your skin tone and texture in 4 weeks.
And a Feng Shui book because I'm getting rather into decorating and moving stuff around.

- Pink Pixie is a little chalky, but the tester wasn't which is why I picked it up. It's a semi matte bubblegum pink that applies slightly lighter than it looks. It's quite pigmented and can be layered for intensity.
- Strawberry Milkshake is a GORGEOUS lipgloss, It goes on quite pigmented but with a nude finish, it's very creamy and moisturising and reminds me a little of Mac cremesheens. It smells like sweets and I love it!
- The L'oreal pink lipliner is just blah.
See swatches...

I also popped into Accessorize and got me this love necklace.
This cute wooden comb...
And these pretty wooden bird earrings.
And here's a beautiful shot of Peanut who loves the carpet on the stairs! :)

@Sara We should def do a swap, I haven't made anything lately :( but, there's a stall that sells peruvian earrings and these ones are quite similar but they are all cream and white, no green. I should be able to get these.

Question: What MAC product do you recommend for a newbie like me?

I'd keep it as a decorational piece because it's too dainty to use.

Today I bought some feather earrings from the Accessorize sale, some MUA nail paints, some facial tanning product from L'Oreal, some basic shampoo and conditioner and a Rimmel nail paint.
PS/ Peanut is a big, big, big CUTIE! xxx

I pop out to buy some milk and return home with armfuls of purchases as though I've committed armed robbery in Selfridges.
My poor boyfriend (and bank manager!) despair.
I always play with MAC'S Face and Body but have been too scared to buy. Does it transfer onto your clothing?

P.S: Peanut is ADORABLE! I'm bringing my puppy home in a few weeks and couldn't be more excited. :0)
