My Honey
The bf and I celebrated our Valentine's Day early on Friday the 12th of February as opposed to the 14th. Here's the look I wore on our special day! I used mainly items from the MAC Colour Craft collection. It's sweet and girly ~ The bf really liked it! And guess what he got me for Valentine's Day?? Well you don't really need to guess, its on the title! He got me the new MAC 130 brush! I was so thrilled. He got me the 188, and now this! I'm so happy, I can't believe it! He's such a sweetie ♥ Anyway, continue reading for my look, my day and a brush review :) xx

We met after he finished uni and we walked around Oxford Street for a bit, went to GAME to look for new video games, and then ate out at one of my ever favourite restaurants - Las Iguanas in Soho.
We had the usual: 3 Tapas - Champinones, Quesadillas and Nachos. A few drinks, and we also tried this new dish called Chilli. I didn't like it as much as what we always order, but it was worth a try. Too much tomato sauce. :)
After that, Selfridges was still open and we decided to drop by. And I was so thrilled - he got me the MAC 130 brush! So here's my short review!
The MAC 130 brush is a flat toppped duo fibre brush. The bristles are firm but soft. It's more dense than the 188 brush, and its white bristles are also much shorter. I've heard that this brush is good for applying foundation, ensuring an 'air-brushed' finish with enough buffing, but I think it may also be good at contouring since the shape kinda reminds me of the MAC 109 brush, which used to be my contouring brush! I don't contour my cheeks any more which is why 'it used to be'. I think this brush may also be good for applying blush, since its small enough, creme or powder blushes. I'm so excited to have this, I couldn't stop smiling through the night because he bought it for me, but mainly because he actually remembered that I wanted this! It makes me really happy when people remember my wishlists lol. xx Well anyway, onto more pictures :)

I hope you enjoyed this post! How did your Valentine's Day go? ♥
I've been lemming for the MAC 188 brush for ages! But its quite expensive that's why I haven't purchased it... and so it was such a big surprise that my bf ordered it for me from maccosmetics.co.uk over the weekend!
The MAC 188 brush is a small duo fibre brush - ie. white and black fibres. Its supersoft! Its small enough to highlight the cheekbones, and it can also be used to apply blush - which is what I'm going to use it for! At the moment I use Jemma Kidd's foundation/stippling brush, but it needs a break too. At least now I have two blush brushes, one I can use for sparkly blushes and one for mattes, or one for pinks and one for peaches, one to use when the other one's just been washed ~ endless possibilities lol. Its great to have a backup brush! ♥
As I said, it is pretty small. Here it is compared to my dirty So Ceylon MSF/Refined Golden bronzer-ed Jemma Kidd brush. I didn't clean it purposely so you can tell which one is which! But its clean now lol

I'm soo happy to finally have this! My bf is so sweet. I found out he even memorised my wish list! He knew this had been on my list for a while so he finally got it for me ~ This counts as my second Christmas present from him, the first one being the cheese basket he sent to the Philippines! He thinks he spoils me too much, and I think so too lol. I'm so lucky to have him~ !! ♥♥♥
Do you have this brush? What do you mainly use it for?? ♥
I also have a special edition version of the MAC 187 from the Red She Said collection, but I found that its too big to use on my cheeks... Any ideas what I can do with it? ♥
It's been a long time since I've posted a lip swatch! And I'm so happy to share this with you. It's the latest combo I've discovered. MAC Freckletone lipstick (nude) topped with MAC Possum Nose Pink lipglass (red with blue reflects) makes such a juicy looking lip! When my sister first saw me wearing it she was like Wow.. O.O so juicy looking! Lol. Exactly my thoughts!
And I also wanted to share with you some of the loot I got for Christmas. No makeup this year! :O
I got this Lush bar from my sister! It smells really florally, I can't wait to try it out! ♥
I found this in my mom's closet (shhh!) lol, just kidding. She knows I took it. :) She had another one of this so I decided to take the smaller bottle. Chanel Coco Madamoiselle ~ It smells so nice! More mature than my other perfumes, but still girly and dainty all the same! ♥
My ever-sweet bf also sent me another package while I was in the Philippines! He sent me this basket with olive oil and all these cheeses [I looove cheese lol!] ♥
Well that's it everyone :)
What's your favourite lipstick/lipgloss combo?? ♥ ♥
