Shopping Trip To Belfast

On Tuesday I had a day out with the two Eimear's in Belfast. I hadn't planned on buying anything and that's the days you end up seeing loads.

I had lost my favourite lip liner so had to go to MAC to replace it. It's magenta and it is my most used lip liner. It goes with so many of my lipsticks, I also love using it with a lilac lipstick and having ombre lips. I have been lusting over the Studio Fix powder plus foundation for quite some time so decided to finally buy it. As I only use my MAC foundation when I'm going out and I have fake tan on I got NC41 to match my foundation. I can't wait to try it out and will let you know my thoughts on it. The lip liner was £12.50 and the powder was £21.50

We then called into H&M and I bought a couple of new tops. H&M is great for picking up wee bargains that last for years.

I love boxy short sleeve shirts as they are so nice with high waisted shorts and when I seen this I loved it as I love Mickey Mouse. It will be handy for taking with me to Dublin at the end of the month as it will take up no room in my bag. It will be lovely dressed up with a coloured blazer. The shirt was £9.99

Now anyone that knows me will know I have a slight obsession with skulls. Anything with skulls on it and I'm sold! When I seen this jumper I had to get it and after looking at the price tag I couldn't leave it behind, it was a steal at £5.99. Its so soft and slouchy, just what is needed for those colder months coming. It is big fitting and I was able to get away with a it in a small.

Next stop was boots because I needed a new lipstick to add to my ever expanding collection. Its actually embarrassing how many lipsticks I own. I might do a post on my lipstick collection, if anyone would be interested in that let me know.

The first lipstick I got was Maybelline Color Sensational Vivids in 906 Hot Plum. I had ordered a couple of these on the Boots website before as my local boots doesn't stock these and I had heard good reports of them. I don't like glossy lips but these lipsticks aren't too shiny, they also smell amazing and the colour payoff is brilliant. When I originally ordered these on line I thought I had ordered the Hot Plum but had ordered a different colour so couldn't wait to get my hands on this. It's an amazing colour and will go nicely with my magenta lip liner. The Fushia Flash in the Color Sensational Vivds range is a good dupe for MACs Candy Yum Yum It was £6.99 and they are currently 3 for 2 in Boots on selected Maybelline products.

The Revlon Colorburst Matte Balms are great wee lipsticks and they are so handy to throw in your handbag when your on the run. They have great staying power, have a nice minty smell and are so easily applied. I already own Shameless which is a dupe for MACs Heroine (I'm loving the MAC dupes today). I decided to get it in the shade Showy and it's a real Barbie pink colour and its quickly becoming my favourite lipstick. I will definitely be buying more of these in the future as they are brillaint lipsticks and they don't dry out your lips which is always an added bonus. This lipsticks are £7.99 and are also currently 3 for 2 on selected Revlon products.

When I was in boots I decided to have a look at the Too Faced stand. I love all their products and have never bought anything but decided on Tuesday it was time I bought myself the Chocolate Bar Eye shadow Palette. I've read so many reviews and watched so many YouTube videos on this palette I could nearly review the palette already before even trying it. At £45 its quite steep for an eye shadow palette but for what you get it's worth every penny. 

The packaging is amazing. Its shaped like a chocolate bar and when you open it you will understand why; it smells like chocolate! 

This palette has a great selection of colours in it that you won't be stuck with doing the same make up every time you use it. It comes with a book with three looks that you can recreate and tells you what to use and where which is great for beginners. Every colour I swatched on my hand I got excited about, I can't wait to try this out and it will definitely be coming to Dublin with me on my girly weekend away. I will post up a review of the palette once I get a proper use of it but I can't wait to have a play around with the colours and see what I can do with it.
