Yes. I gave in to my makeup temptation today. I originally went in to pick up Select Moisturecover Concealer in NW20, as the Laura Mercier concealer lacks the illumination I feel under my eyes need. I was mooching about and ended up swatching the new collection 'A Tartan Tale'. I don't really follow the collections - I tend to buy usually one item and that's only if I think it's different and worth it! Although I own a fair amount of eyeshadows and liners, I think I am more of an eyeliner girl -I LOVE my bright colours especially on the lower lash line :D I fell in love with Undercurrent, which is a gorgeous tealy turquoise with gold shimmer. It is similar to Urban Decay's 'Covet' but the gold in Undercurrent is amazing! I also bought Petrol Blue which is a beautiful deep navy blue with shimmer. Whenever I wear blue, I really do think it makes my brown eyes 'pop' out more. I couldn't see 'Lord It Up' or 'Black Swan' but I did also swatch 'Black Line' which is pretty too but I thought I could pass on that. Nothing else really stood out for me in the collection and the packaging was not appealing at all. I also purchased my first MAC brush. The 217. I had read so many other blogs and reviews about it I though I would buy it and experiment. I experiment as soon as I got home and it really is a brush worth having. I was wearing Barry M Dazzle Dust 39 and blended a charcoal grey eyeshadow from Sephora in the crease and it looks pretty nice (if I might say so). So those were my purchases.
Earlier this week I received my order from ASOS. I purchased a Warehouse Bag as my East bag is getting very tatty now but unfortunately when it arrived the colour looked totally different from what I was shown on the site. Not good! I also purchased a Jersey Blazer but returned it along with the bag. It was a bit too small and it had shoulder pads which made me look like a an american football player. So I thought Khalaas, they have to go back! I have been on the hunt for a maxi dress and a skirt - no luck yet though!
Overall my weekend has been pretty busy but all good. Yesterday I travelled back to Birmingham as we had family visiting, family I had never met. It was lovely meeting them for the first time and it made me realise how much I really do love my family and how close we are. I hate it when I am just home for a 'flying visit'. It's going to be like that in 2 weeks when Eid Al- Adha takes place, as Eid falls on a weekday again.
Today I was at work. I care for an autistic girl for a few hours at the weekend so her parents get a break. She can't talk but communicates through a PECS book ( basically a picture book) , she enjoys being taken out and about which is nice and I enjoy my time with her. Afterwards I ventured to Selfridges to MAC to pick up my goodies and then I came home.
I have ironing to do now which I have been trying to avoid for the past 2 hours but I think I should attempt to iron some at least before it's time to crash out!
Peace out
