Tiny Haul

Tiny Haul






In this tiny haul I got:

Sleek Nude Collection Palette
(Limited Edition)
(I wanted the blush and the lip balm but it was already SOLD OUT! on the second day of it coming out).

As you can see only the box has a design on it not the palette. I know the blusher and the lip balm has a design on the front, so when I get them I'll make a post.


As you can see a lot of matte and shimmer shades.

Swatches


A MAC lipstick in Lovelorn (lustre)

(It's my 'Back to MAC' lipstick as I traded in 6 used MAC items, and this was my FREE lipstick)

Swatches


Sleek Lip Pout (Minx)


This item is a OCC Lip Tar Dupe!!
As you can see from my swatches, the smallest amount of product goes a long way. This tube will last me for years, as you only a tiny amount for your lips.

Swatches


This tiny dot goes a long way as you can see from the pictures


As you can see from that tiny amount it went a long way.


I will be doing a full review on the Sleek Lip Pouts as there OCC Lip Tars. I just need to wait till they are in stock (as there always sold out).

Hope you liked this post

My Current MAC Lipstick Collection

My Current MAC Lipsticks Collection




This is a small post about my MAC Lipsticks collection, I have melted most of them as you can see from my palette. I don't have that many lipsticks. I used too, but I threw them out without realising I would take them back to MAC and receive free lipsticks.



 
The white tray you see in the picture is from IKEA. If you looked online and in store you used to be able to find this on the bathroom section. But I don't think you can get this anymore because I wanted some more and I couldn't find any. I even looked online, and asked 3 IKEA workers lol.

But the one thing I hate about these trays is that the large holes can only fit the MAC lipsticks, the small ones don't fit any of my lipsticks. Maybe if and when I get MAC sheen supreme lipsticks they may fit, but until then I won't know.


In the tray I also have some of my MAC Pro Long Wear lipsticks as they fit perfectly in here as well as my MAC normal lipsticks.


As you can see the palette is almost full. But I usually like to melt my lipsticks when I can't use them anymore. A good example is my Hue lipstick pictured below, as you can see I can melt this down now and place it in my palette, but I have already got a hue lipstick in my palette so I can melt this and put in my 'back up' palette so if I run out I can simply pop into this palette. Then I can take this lipstick for 'Back To MAC' (when you take any 6 MAC plastic or glass product into MAC you can receive a FREE MAC lipstick of your choice, but it can't be a Viva Glam or a Sheen Supreme lipsticks only the normal MAC lipsticks).

As you can see it's almost empty.. I'm scared to use it lol, because it's that low.
 

This is how I labelled them. Simply with a square magnet and a circle label and wrote on them. You could put the circle labels into a printer but I didn't have any ink left in mine, but I still think it looks nice. I personally know all the colours so I wouldn't really need to flip them over to check the name, but still a good idea in case I forget or doing someone's makeup and they ask what the colour is. 


Hope you liked this post.


If you would like me to show you how I melt my MAC lipsticks/lipsticks and put them in a Palette please comment below or email me.

What's in my Handbag?? (Mini)

Whats Inside My Handbag? ? ?
(Mini)


This handbag is a Paul's-Boutique Amy Bag



My Purse is a Paul - Boutique Lizzie Patent Wallet


I know, my bag is completely different to my other Paul's Boutique everyday bag, but because this bag is much, much smaller it's easier to carry than my other one. This bag I usually take with me, if I don't need a lot of stuff or don't fancy carrying  a huge bag. (I usually take this shopping or if I'm going out to lunch etc). This bag is great its perfect size for all my stuff.

Inside my Bag...


Full
Empty 










(I love the leopard patten)
There's 2 side pockets and a large zip pocket

My iPhone 4
and iPod Touch






Inside my Makeup Bag...







As you can see this is TINY compare to my other makeup bag, this is another MAC Signature Makeup bag. I love these types of makeup bag as this fits great in my bag.


(This Makeup/Makeup Bag is for touch up, or in case I need to remove my makeup and re-apply it, Its great as it fits everything I need perfectly.)

Whats Inside My Handbag? ? ?

Whats Inside My Handbag? ? ?
(Large. Everyday)



This handbag is a Pauls-Boutique Tilly Twister Bag





My Purse is a Paul - Boutique Lizzie Patent Wallet

I know, my bag is BIG and full of stuff, yes its fully loaded and has tones of stuff in it, but I'm one of those people who has everything in their handbag, if there was any a problem someone would ask me if they can borrow something or use something. I love this bag, I have a lot of bags and this bag is always my number one. This bag is very big and great for me, as I take it everywhere with me.



Inside my Makeup Bag...

It's called the MAC Signature Bag Rectangle M·A·C/Medium (not sure if you can still get these, I got mine ages ago)

        Clear Bag





        This clear bag has everything I feel I need, I know its random stuff which a lot of people wouldn't have but I'm one of those people who worries and brings everything with her in case something happens and I'm always glad it's packed in my handbag, in case I need it. That's why my makeup bag is so big and I have loads of different brushes, because if I ever need it, or someone asks if I have makeup I always have a back up. That's why I love my sigma brushes because they are perfect size and handy to keep in my bag.
