Mega haul

Ok! I've been doing a crazy amount of shopping lately. It's all those amazing xmas goodies I tell you. They've sucked me in good. This is the stuff I've gathered over the past 2 months.



Lush:
Star Light, Star bright bath melt
So White bath bomb x2
Butter Bear bath bomb x2
Magic Wand bubble bar x2
Luxury Lush Pud bath bomb
Northern Lights bath bomb
Tisty Tosty bath bomb
Santas lip scrub
How my "shopping trip" on the Lush website went:
Ooh look!! Christmas stuff!!! Oohh Halloweeeeen stuff!! Damn, all sold out. OOHH XMAS STUFF!!! How pretty is that silver star. Wonder what it smells like? I'll try it out. Ohh So White again, gotta get 2 of those. Ohh better get another Magic Wand. Done. Awww that bear is cute! Smells like vanilla? I'll take 2!! That pud one looks nice. Very festive. I need a lip scrub so I'll chuck that in too. I like cola flavour.... maybe i'll give something to my mum. Probs not though..."
Then I was in the city for a meeting and thought I'd check out Lush in person. I wanted to get Northern Lights but was sold out online, but they had restocked in store, so I got that and Tisty Tosty. I really wish I had gotten the So White shower gel though.



Hourglass:
Radiant Light ambient powder
Another one on my wishlist.

BareMinerals:
Moxie lipgloss in Hypnotist
Hello. My name is Unicorn Holographic Meow. I love unicorns, cats, cake and ANYTHING holographic. It's just who I am.

Stila:
Kitten eyeshadow
Magnificent metals eyeliner in Gunmetal
I LOVE Kitten and needed a new one. Story On why I bought the eyeliner on the review.



MAC:
Rebel and Violetta lipsticks.
Wanted both of these shades since forever, and could not pass up the xmas glittery packaging for Rebel.




Too Faced:
"Everything nice" palette
Mini melted lipsticks (hasn't yet arrived)
This palette is actually everything!! I also really wanted to try the mini melted lippies.








NARS:
Virtual Domination blush palette
A must have for me, as I don't have enough blushes right?

October Favourites

Well well well, wasn't October just ridiculously fast in passing. In other events passing, it was also my little baby kittens' birthday on Saturday. She is a delightful 11 now! Wow! I actually cannot believe I've had her for so long haha (and yes I am aware she is no longer a kitten, but I have got severe *cough mother syndrome cough* and she will never age beyond a kitten to me. Ever.).

Anyhow, other than my precious fur baby, this is also what I've been loving...

* Anastasia Brow Pomade in Chocolate *
Well I dyed my hair a chocolate brown, so got match my eyebrows right? Actually I got the pomade before I dyed my hair but what does that matter (well quite a lot I guess, but point is, my hair and brows actually MATCH now haha). Honestly, how DID I live without this product?! It is actually LIFE CHANGING. Those of you that have gone from whatever you were using to this, will more than likely agree. This product will put you in the brow game for life. Don't hesitate, go and buy it NOW! It's super easy to use but don't rush and go gently with small, light strokes. You can thank me later.

* YSL Rouge Volupte #1 Nude Beige *
Re-visiting something old from my collection, I've re-fallen in love again with this lipstick. It's the perfect nude pink shade. I like its consistency, how it feels on my lips and who doesn't love the packaging?

* Shanghai Suzy Miss Christina Neon Guava *
UGH! This is the PERFECT spring/ summer colour and I die! It is beyond amazing! This is definitely my fave and I cannot get enough of this shade! I do believe this little baby just might have pushed Candy Yum Yum out of its spot of best bright matte... Just saying...
Ps. Check out my review of Shanghai Suzy lipsticks below.

* Hourglass Mineral Veil primer *
I got a sample of this with my last Mecca order, and I LOVE it. The last primer I used was MAC Prep and Prime, but this one just feels smoother. I can honestly see why this seems to be the most "popular" primer out there. I'll definitely be buying the full sized product.

* Stila Magnificent Metals eyeliner in Gunmetal *
Almost didn't make the cut for October but I'm gonna chuck it in. IT IS STUNNING!! Holy crap! I actually had low expectations but it was so much better than I thought it would be! The colour, the glitter, how delicious, OH MY!! Definitely want ALL the shades now. (Review on this coming shortlyyyy).

* Revenge *
Oh, am I slow with this one. My partner recently downloaded this for me, thinking I would enjoy it, and I LOVE IT. I can't just watch one episode at a time, more like 5 haha. my partner described it as Gossip Girl meets Dawson's Creek (LOL) and I guess it sorta is (definitely more Gossip Girl though but with more plots and twists. This is definitely wayyyy above Blairs' scheming!).


I'm pretty sure next months favourites are going to be VERY exciting if I get a certain package soon! Ooh WHAT could it be???? (All the intrigue and mystery... Follow me on Instagram for clues as I WILL be posting this package on there!!!! You have NO idea how excited I am about these 2 particular items jkhaskjfhkjrhgkjddkneskjghkkrjglkjfkjrslgms kind of sums it up haha).

Have a great week guys and I'll see you shortly!

Ps. Tell me what you loved in October and recommend me trying out?
