I'm excited to say that I have done a good few wish list item cross offs today. But before I start, can I just take a moment to rave about cocktailcosmetics.co.uk. I made an order Tuesday (18/02/2014) afternoon, spending over £50 to reach the free delivery (of course. I'm a sucker for those) and my items came the next day! but I wasn't in :'( so off I skipped to the post office collection point today (20th) and picked up my perfectly packaged delivery. Thank you cocktail cosmetics!
In my perfect little package, was two sigma brushes (of which I felt my premium set was missing) and two lime crime products. The first is an opaque lipstick in the shade 'countessa fluorescent'. The most beautiful packaging I've ever seen. Shiny purple with a holographic silver unicorn. I couldn't bare the idea of swatching it and making it imperfect, but of course I did! ...eventually. and also it smells so yummmmm, like cupcakes!
Next item crossed of the wish list thanks to cocktail cosmetics is the velvettene liquid to matte lipstain by lime crime. I bought the colour 'suedeberry'. Now I'm not overly sure if the colour suits me and perhaps I should have gone for the pink or red version, but that does not mean I don't love the product. So far I'm loving the unique finish and the vivid colour. its so simple to apply, though maybe a little patchy first coat. Though second coat and it was wonderful. I really feel to give it a good chance, I need to do more then just quickly sample it late at night with no other makeup or hair styling.
The two brushes I ordered are the flat kabuki (f-80) and the pencil brush (e-30). I love sigma and in my eyes they can do no wrong. I cant wait to play around and have fun with them along with my others.
My last two haul items were just picked up locally and are easily found. I bought the light infusing foundation and pure light primer base by L'Oreal Paris. These are both from the lumi magique range. I seem to always have really dry matte looking skin so I'm hoping that I'll get a lighter fresher looking face with both these products. I'll let you know how I get on!
If you feel you can advise me on anything that might help my skin feel less dull and dry looking with make-up then please do comment below. I'd love to hear from you!
So far I'm pretty happy with what I've got :)
Well thanks for reading! hopefully you'll come back again soon
Mwah!
p.s. Sorry for the added dates! I've posted this a few days late from writing it!
