I had three b2ms to trade in last week, so off I trotted to Meadowhall (again) to get me some lovely lippies. I hadn't really thought about what I wanted before going so had a completely open mind. When I got there I decided I wanted to get some colours slightly out of my comfort zone. After what seemed like 100 swatches I decided on..
costa chic - frosty light coral. This is my favourite of the three. I kind of bought it because of the hype that seems to surround it. When I got home and tried it, I actually really liked it! I am thinking this will look even nicer in the summer with abit of a tan.
politely pink - dirty pink frost. I would never go for a lipstick as pale as this but when I swatched it and saw how glossy it is, I had to have it. I don't love it on its own but layered it looks fab!
please me-muted-rosy-tinted pink. such a pretty everyday colour, very pigmented, I love it.

After I had chosen my lipsticks, I only purchased 2 palettes and shale in pan form, which is great because I would have normally gone mad in there. I was so proud! I didn't bother with pictures of the palettes and eyeshadow, as I'm sure you all know what they look like ;P
♥
On the way home I got an email from MAC about the free haute and naughty mascara (£17.50!) that they were giving away for free with all orders, plus free shipping!! So I hot footed it onto the MAC site and placed two cheeky orders, thus getting two free mascaras!! I ordered 'Impassioned' lipstick and 'mischievous mint' nail polish from the Quite Cute collection.
The lipstick is lovely. I don't think I would use it as a full one lipstick because I don't have the confidence for it, but I do like using it as a lipstain though and it looks really pretty with a bit of clear gloss over the top.
Whilst I was browsing the lipsticks in MAC, I made a mental wishlist of the ones I want to purchase for summer. They include..

The mascara I have used once on the 'dramatic' setting, as I don't really do natural lashes. It is very black and gives the lashes the perfect amount of volume and length. One thing I hate about it is the smell though. Phew, it smells of poison.
The nail polish is beautiful and although I thought I had something similar in my collection, I actually don't. It is a very pale, creamy mint, obviously. I am yet to try this as I'm still wearing 'Teenage dream', but I will get a notd up soon :)

ReplyDeleteYou picked some winners! I especially love impassioned and politely pink. Girl about town will definitely be for you if you want BOLD. It's extremely pink!
ReplyDeleteI just went to the MAC website and they're still giving away the mascara but shipping doesn't seem to be free. Did you have a code?

ReplyDeleteThanks Phoebs :) xx
ReplyDeleteOh are they Domzy? Thats good! I might order again hehe. I used 'SURVEY9' but I'm not sure if it's still valid. Worth a try though :) xx

I'm so jealous, Costa Chic is gorgeous, I want loads of lipsticks now, I never used to wear them but I'm definately into them now and have the grand total of 7 MAC lippys, I need more haha.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think of the Mascara?
xx
Loving the look of Please Me, may have to purchase. I totally didn't realise there was a MAC in Meadowhall. Clearly wasn't paying attention last time I visited! xxx
ReplyDeleteI absolutly love the red lipstick, but I'm like you and don't have the courage to wear it, would probably go for a bit of gloss aswell
ReplyDeletexx
Please Me looks gorgeous x
ReplyDeleteGreat post, I placed an order too and they didn't put my free mascara in, I rang up and they said they would send me one but I am still waiting :/ I love Costa Chic too! xxx
ReplyDeleteI love Vegas Volt and I just picked up Pink Nouveau which I am also really in love with at the moment. I haven't tried Costa Chic but I do have impassioned and love the colour. Looks like you got some great items. Thanks for the swatches.
