I went to the MAC store today as it was my last day living in Central London and it would be quite difficult to get to a nearby one once I moved home. I took a few swatches of the lipsticks I'm thinking of getting~ :


London Life, Meltdown, Barcelona Red, Fresh Moroccan, New York Apple, Impassioned, Girl About Town

It's the first time I've seen Barcelona Red in the store (since it's usually sold out) and it's a very pretty frosty dark coral colour. I'm still thinking about it though. Who knows, I might change my mind and not want it later on.

MAC Lipstick Swatches

This was my Face of the Day as we went shopping in High Street Kensington:


My Smokey Turquoise FOTD consists of...

Loreal True Match Foundation in W3, MAC Springsheen Blush on the cheeks, and Dessert Treats Creamsicle lipgloss for lips to complement the bold eyes.

17 Eyeshadow in Viva Diva (a shiny Turquoise Blue) on inner lid, blended with Me Me Me Electric Vibe (a shiny Blue) on outer lid and a bit on the crease, Matte Dark Brown eyeshadow in the crease and a Pearl-coloured shadow on the brow bone (both these from the Maybelline trio in Chocolate Mousse I have), Upper lid lined with Electric Vibe, Lower lid lined with Nichido Black Kohl Eyeliner, and MAC Plushblack Plushlash Mascara.

LOOK: Smokey Turquoise Blue


As G and I were walking around High Street Kensington looking at shops, I saw the Body Shop's huge 'SALE' sign and decided to walk in. They had some body butters at 50% off, and I've been thinking about getting one of them since I feared I was going to run out of the Satsuma Orange one my mum gave me. So to delay its extinction, I wanted to get another one but of a different scent.

They had Blueberry, Avocado, Vanilla, etc on sale, but it was Pomegranate that G and I thought scented best. So I bought this LE Body Butter for £6.00 and I'm very happy I did.

Body Shop's Pomegranate Body Butter

I think MAC Fleshpot is the best nude lipstick ever! Here's a look using MAC Fleshpot under Rimmel Sun Queen with 4U2 Gemtone Onyx Eyeshadow Quad, Black kohl-lined eyes and MAC Plushlash PlushBlack Mascara:


Nude lips are best with dark smokey eyes as they don't steal away focus from them and help emphasize eyes as the main (let's say) attraction of your entire makeup look.
