Viva Glam Lady Gaga MAC Lipstick

When the postman came this morning i nearly died when i saw my package, i knew straight away it was my Gaga lipstick!! Thank you to the lovely Sandy i was able to be one of the first in the UK to get my mitts on one.
To be fair it didn't matter what the colour was, i was going to buy it because it had Lady Gaga's name on it, but the fact that it's a beautiful pink is a massive win for me. I love pinks and this one is to die for, it can be very vibrant when it is applied a few times, but one or two swipes leaves a lovely subtle pink that most people could pull off.

Here are few pictures with a full coating of it:
It really is gorgeous and so creamy. It applies very smoothly and feels extremely silky! The staying power seems pretty good so far too, i would highly recommend it.
Mine was purchased in Canada which worked out at about $18, which is £11. I'm not sure how much it will actually be when it's released over here, but i think that is a fab price. All proceeds are going to support the Aids charity, which is amazing. This lipstick is a Limited Edition but is meant to be around for 1 year.

What are your thoughts? Are you liking this pink?

Mini Lush Haul

I suffer from dry lips and it drives me mad! I am always searching for good lip moisturizers or exfoliants. When i was in Lush the other day i noticed 'BubbleGum Lip Scrub' by the till, gave it a sniff and had to buy it! It smells gorgeous, it's hard to resist a lick when you put it on :D And guess what it smells of......SNOW FAIRY! Lush's most popular scent.
Made from basically sugar and some jojoba oil, you just rub it in your lips, wipe it off and your left with a smoother pout! I love it!

I bought another 'King Of Skin'! I love this body butter, although it goes way too quickly! You rub it on while in the shower and it instantly moisturises your skin. So you don't have to worry about putting any on after your shower, which i can never be bothered to do. When applied it almost 'greases' your skin (but to the baby oil extent!), it is super moisturizing. This is one product that i always re-purchase. It's full of cocoa butter, shea butter, coconut butter, bananas, toning essential oils, jojoba and almond oils, fresh avocado and oatmeal. I highly recommend this!

I did mainly just buy massage bars and Body Butters this time, as they really are my favorite product from Lush. I just wish they lasted longer!
I decided to try 'Strawberry Feels Forever', anything that leaves the scent of strawberries is a winner for me. It's lovely and creamy and leaves your skin nice and soft, 'King Of Skin' is still the best for moisturizing, although this one does leave a nicer scent.

I did forget that i already had 'Aqua Mirabilis', but another one won't hurt! I'm really bad for remembering to exfoliate, mainly because it hurts so much with the brush I use - I never want to...so this body butter is great. It has tiny ground almond shells which exfoliate your skin, and leave it very soft. I use this once a week.

So that's it for this Lush shopping trip, only bought what i really needed :)

WIBT: What I Bought Today

First up is my new yummy perfume 'Scarlett' by Cacharel, this scent is beautiful. I like my perfumes to be sweet and this is very. It has quite a tropical smell to it, very fruity and fresh. It's my new favorite. The bottle is also beautiful, very vintage looking!
And with my purchase look what i got free from Superdrug...

If you spend over £10 on perfumes then you get a free goodie bag, how fun! I love free things. I got a mini straightener, Barry M lipgloss tube, Versace perfume travel bag, two lipton ice teas, two skinny cow hot chocolates, toothpaste and a lollipop!


In my local town there is NO Sleek collection, boo! So i had to go a bit further to get this, my next town which is about an hour away had a pretty good selection. I wanted to pick up another Sleek palette but they didn't have the one i wanted. I got myself the Sleek Glo Highlight in Peach Shimmer - i am so impressed with it! It is so well pigmented and gives a gorgeous golden shimmer which is lovely and subtle. The brush it comes with is also pretty handy - perfect for your handbag!

This ColorSensational by Maybelline - Pink Pearl lipstick is gorgeous! I am in love with the pink! I am going to keep this short and sweet because it definitely deserves a blog post of it's own.

These hairbands from River Island are so cute, made from leather and dark crystals (which look more like studs). They are elastics so they help to create volume behind. LOVE!

How beautiful is this ring from accessorize?! I saw it and fell in love. I always wear statement rings, the detail on this is gorgeous. The pearl in the middle is wow!
 
I bought some more goodies from Accessorize. I have been looking for both a cute pair of ear muffs and fingerless gloves/mittens for awhile and i found the perfect ones.

Shoe envy? :)
These courts from Dorothy Perkins are gorgeous!! I love the gold studs around the hidden platform heel. (sorry it's black and white i couldn't bare to show how pale my feet were haha:).

I think these shoe/boots are so cute, but i'm not too sure if i'm going to keep them because i have so many like them. These are also from Dorothy Perkins.

Last up is my very pretty grey scarf from River Island. It has sequin detailing on it which looks beautiful. For some reason i always seem to buy grey scarves.

So that's it for today. Will be doing more detailed post on a few of the make-up products.
 I hope you like what i got!
