MAC and Illamasqua Make up Haul

Hey dolls, hope everyone is well and looking forward to long weekend.  Unfortunately, I have to work this whole weekends which is annoying but hey someone got to pay the bills I supposed ^^. 
I finally got to use my MAC birthday gift card which I received last year as my birthday present (I know - it has been a year ago) but I only got around to it now because I wasn't sure what to get from MAC especially I have most of their make up, plus I need to clear some of my make up in which I haven't used or never used a.k.a spring clean. 
I didn't only go to MAC but also stopped by Illamasqua to attend their Smooth and Sculpting Interactive Workshop as well as their Vintage Glamour Masterclass - say you can't not stop by Illamasqua when you are around Carnaby street can you.  
So, this was what I got from MAC and Illamasqua ^^
From Illamasqua:  Precision Gel Liner in Infinity and Hydra Veil - both are their new products that came out few weeks ago. 
From MAC:  Lip Pencil in Boldly Bare and Lipstick in Creme Cup
Hydra Veil

 I must honestly said that I heart this product as it is not only work as a make up base but also work as a skincare at the same time.  It is a gel based and all you need is only a half teaspoon size and it dries so fast.  My morning routine has always been a rushed, therefore it's great to find a primer where you don't need to work for it to set and it leaves the skin hydrated.  
Top:  Boldly Bare
Bottom:  Creme Cup
I have seen few beauty bloggers using Creme Cup lipstick in most of their tutorials and I thought it'd be great to try them on.  It's a lovely pink colour (sorry for the picture quality) with a sheen finish and I used it on top of the lip liner to give it a more semi-matte look.  These two products will definitely be my make up staples from now on. 
Hope you ladies enjoy and have a great weekend xoxo

October Purchased

Image
Can't believe that it's November already, Xmas is just around the corner and 2012 is nearly over.  So far October has been a fun and relaxing month for myself and I just want to share what I have bought and my current must have in my make up bag ^^  I have been wanting to try out Too Faced products and have been hearing the rave about it.  Don't get me wrong, I love my MAC, Coastal Scents and Bobbi Brown eyeshadows.  However, I felt that Too Faced Eye Palette is convenient if I am travelling or just going for a night out without having to bring so many different colours in one bag which is quite annoying sometimes.  So, my plan was only to buy one to try out but I ended up buying the whole range except the romantic look (arrghhh annoyed with myself sometimes).  I bought all palettes from Boots Piccadilly Circus apart from the Natural at Night range as it's sold out everywhere.  You can get them from Beautybay , beauty and hair website where you can get mostly every

One outfit + 3 different style of shoes

Day off and sun shines are something I couldn't asked for more.  I started off my day with a great workout at the gym, before heading out to meet up with a friend.  I decided to wear my new top that I bought from ZARA which is currently on sale.  I have never been a big fan of 'knitwear' because I always feel that knit material can look unflattering on me.  However, I decided to give it another try and to be very honest I am actually loving it.  The cut is flattering and I want to look very casual on my day off, therefore I mixed it with a pair of Jeans, flats and a hat that I received from my friend, Kate Michell.  I also decided to plait my hair because it was too hot and humid. Due to the unpredictable weather in London, I never forget to bring a cardigan just in case if it gets cold all of a sudden.  I love this outfit because I think it is very versatile as you can wear it from day to evening without looking too casual or too formal.  In addition, this outfit is

Finished the look of with eyeliner and tons of mascara from Max Factor Clump Defy (for me anyways as mine is so fine!!!)
