Beauty Buys ❤ December '14 ❤

Hello! Just thought i'd share a few things I purchased yesterday whilst out Christmas shopping with Ricardo!

Westfields was busy & we managed to fill our arms with bags rather quickly, presents for days!

Here's three make-up products I picked up in Superdrug!

Sleek Face Contour Kit

£6.49

Superdrug

I've been eyeing up a contour kit for some while now! The Face Contour Kit, Available HERE is an affordable alternative to the Smashbox & Anastasia Beverley Hills Kits. Pricing up at £6.49 it's a fraction of the price too, Making it an affordable treat for everyone!

I got mine in the lightest shade, 'Light' and I will say the shade is perfect for my very place porcelain skin. It blends well into your makeup and the highlighter is AWESOME.

The compact also has a really nicely sized mirror meaning that it will definitely be a staple in any travel make-up bag I use!

Sleek by name, Sleek by nature.

Gorgeous Color Contour & Highlight.

Miss Sporty Fabulous Lash Mascara

£1.99

Superdrug

Miss Sporty is my go to brand when it comes to mascara. I'm not one to look for something that does XXL this and FULL PLUMP that I just want my eye lashes to be black! For £1.99, You can't really go wrong with the Fabulous Lash range from Miss Sporty, It does exactly what it says it does & I love it! 

I picked up the curved edition to see if it does anything different like life my lashes etc, so we'll see!

Curved Brush Fablissimo!

MUA LUXE Velvet Lip Laquer in 'ATOMIC'

£3.00

Superdrug

Following my previous review of the 'Tranquility' shade of these lip lacquers I couldn't help but treat myself to another one! I've been fawning over the color Atomic, Swatching it every time I was in Superdrug and Yesterday I just bloody well bought it! 

It's a beautiful color, A bright Coral-Red and it applies beautifully and sets to a perfect Matte!

My only sad thing with these matte lipsticks is they rub off around the inside of my lips so eating & drinking may not be advised! other that that they are 100% Kiss proof and I can smother Ricardo with kisses without being moaned at! YAY!

ATOMIC

Swatched on the hand.

Super Punchy & Bright! 

P.s. NO BRACES! HOORAY!

That's all for now lovelies!

If you've tried the Velvet Lip Lacquers from MUA, Let me know what you thought?!

MUA LUXE | Velvet Lip Lacquers | Tranquility Review |

So recently whilst on a shopping trip I wandered into the MUA section of Superdrug, I love their range of Value but QUALITY make up & it's always my go to  before hitting the expensive ranges.

I haven't been make-up shopping for a good few months though, so somehow I managed to miss the whole MUA Luxe range completely! 

Whilst there I spotted the Velvet Lip Lacquers which were packaged really nicely & had a beautiful color selection. They resembled the Lime Crime Velvetines, Which retail at $20 US Dollars & are more Hyped, Personally I've read things about Lime Crime which have made me steer clear of them, So seeing MUA's Dupe of this product made me really excited!

Retailing at £3 a pop, They're such good Value for money! And as we all know MUA never fail with the quality of their Items, It's so well presented & the color is perfect!

I brought the color Tranquility (Available Here) and it's a dark Your lips but better color. It's got tones of mauve and pink but can also look quite brown. I love it because it's the perfect nude for me!

The staying power of this lip lacquer is excellent! Once applied and dry, trying to smudge it is impossible! I applied it at the beginning of my 4 Hour shift at work and it stayed on until I finished, however if you're in a place where you talk and smile a lot, it does crack and gunk up! But no complaint from me at all.

Here it is on, Color Tranquility.

(Minus my Medusa piercing, so upset!:( )

All in all I'm super impressed and shall be spoiling myself on payday with a few brighter ones! LOVE LOVE LOVE !!!!

Hope this post is helpful to anyone else umming over them! :)

MUA Haul & Catch up ❤

Hello!

I went shopping with my sister the other day and decided to treat myself to a few bits from MUA, It's such a brilliant brand and everything is so affordable, Going to go back for some eye shadow pallets next I think!

PRO BROW ULTIMATE EYEBROW KIT

£3.50

MUA @ Superdrug

I have wanted a Brow Kit for absolutely ages!

I really wanted to get the Sleek Brow Kit but then I saw this one, shining up at me from the MUA stand, like a grinning child... "I'm better value and I do the same thing, Take me home please!" It said. Grinning away. 

So I bought it, Best £3.50 I've ever spent! Love the colors, and the mini tweezers are good to grab those annoying little hairs!

I feel like this may even be better than the sleek one on the swatches... Cheeky I know!

POWER BROW PENCIL

£2.50

MUA @ Superdrug

I've been looking at the MUA LUXE Lip-glosses for ages, I really want a nude Matte one, but all the ones in this store were sold out, Next to the Eye Brow Kit was this pencil, A Pencil & Highlight combo and it is just perfect for a Natural Travel Make-up bag!

Although I bought it in too light a color, (I used to be a natural blonde but forget I have ridiculously dark brown eyebrows) It still fills in my eyebrows nicely and doesn't look to obvious! I love it!

Also, I had my first Krispy Kreme doughnut EVER. It was yummy and Naturally an Instagram post was needed.

Instagram :@whoisjosiewho

And here's some foody posts!

1/2 Chicken, Rice & Chips from Nandos,YUM.

This was before I drowned it all in Creamy Salad Dressing  grrggrraalllgrrll *mouth waters*

And Last but not least I made some Mini Meringue bites & ate them with fresh Raspberries, yummy yum.

That's all for now!

❤ A Tiny Thrift Haul | April 2014 ❤

Okay... so I can't stop shopping! I blame it on the two week break i'm on from college.. I have nothing else to do!

I met my Girl Alana for a Walk around London and a Shcmooze in some Vintage & Charity Shops! We also went to Five Guys in Islington, and it was good! But not the best I've had... 3.5 Stars! haha!

Isn't Alana the Cutest! ❤

Burger Porn!!!!!!!

Anyway, Let's get down to the Thrifted Goods :)

American Apparel 'Figure Skater' Dress

Retails for : £44

I paid £3!!!

I found this dress in a Charity Shop for £3! I couldn't believe it! There was something spilled down the front.. I didn't care to think what it was (squirms) But I knew that a good blast with some Vanish through the washing machine would do it so there was no leaving it behind!!

Kitsch Jewelry Pieces

25p Each

Oxfam

We went to Oxfam and I was perusing the isles when I saw a sign for these random Jewelry pieces. I had a nosey and they were all so Kitsch and cute! I eventually decided on these two, Head Girl being a nice decal for a preppy Cardigan? I'll probably put the 'Save Me' Anchor on my Keys!

Sparkly Brooch

£2.99

Traid

Whilst in Traid, I saw this lovely and unusual brooch! It's so statement and such a different color! I loved it,and it's a snap at £2.99!

I recommend the Traid in the Bethnal Green/Hackney area it's full of really trendy labels including lots of Topshop cast offs!

I absolutely loved all of the bits I got! and had a lovely day! ❤

Lastly,My sister gave me this pretty dress! It's love label frm Topshop and she hasn't worn it! I think it's lovely!

Floral Chiffon Dress

£18.00

Love Label @ Topshop

That's all for now lovlies!
