mini haul !

I recently got something exciting in the mail yesterday and I thought I would share it with you guys, I also hauled some stuff (mainly hair products) last weekend so I thought I might as well throw that in here too !


again sorry for the crappy quality of the images... I still cant upload any photos from my dslr so the iphone will have to do for now! hehe

I finally got the Dolly Wink liquid eyeliner! :D you dont know how much I have been wanting this eyeliner as everyone just seems to rave about it! isnt the packaging so cute? kawaii ~
I was running low on my K-palette eyeliner so I thought Id pick this one up instead, I will do a review soon on this product so stay tuned ^^ 

I picked up this cute bow hair tie from miss selfridge in the sale section,for some reason it reminds me of anime characters that have really cute bows in their hair... lol. its original price was £5 but I got it for £2.50, super cute right? 

I was in desperate need for some jumpers for the autumn/fall season so I got this polka-dot jumper from tk-maxx for around £16. I absolutely love tk-maxx, one of my favorite stores ever! I love the fact that everything is so unique there and branded as well for a relatively cheap price!

This is kinda boring but i purchased another of my tressemme hairspray as I ran out of my other one, I really like tressemme products because they have a pleasant scent to them (unlike the loreal elnett which smells horrible -_-)
So far it does hold my hairstyle for the full day but my hair feels a little crispy and stiff which I don't like... I still prefer the platinumn verion better... 

I also picked this up whilst we were grocery shopping since it was only 99p! super cheap so I had to try it, I've been obsessed with having my hair curly lately so I thought I might as well give this a try!

And finally I got a hair mask because im nearly out of my Kerastase hair mask so I thought Id pick something cheaper (rather than spend £30 on one ㅠ.ㅠ) this was only £5 I wanna say? sorry im not sure I lost the receipt xD I ve used this a few times and so far so good! will do a review soon


that's all folks! : )

Mini update + Mac mineralize skinfinish natural review !

Sorry guys for not posting in a while, long story short I have been away. I recently went back to asia lately due to family and stuff so I haven't been able to post while I was there...well to be honest I have been back for a while now, around 2 weeks maybe? but I just haven't had time to really do a review due to all the work in school -_-


Luckily though I did haul A LOT of stuff from asia and I'm planning to do a post on it soon but my main computer is broken right now and I cant upload any of the photos from my dslr to my laptop so sadly I have to wait until that gets fixed... but don't worry its worth it! I have been loving just about everything that I purchased there! especially from etude house! ^ ^ look out for the reviews soon ! 


Anyways back to the post, today I'm going to review the infamous Mac mineralize skinfinish natural (or MSF natural)

I have heard so many raves about this powder so I decided to try it out myself! this is the first ever mac product that I have ever purchased (and the only mac product in my collection) so I can really compare it to other mac powders but I can say that this stuff is AMAZING!


When I first purchased this product I initially was only going to use it as a setting powder for my liquid foundation (revlon colourstay) although now that my skin has cleared up I love using this as a powder foundation! 
It gives such a natural finish and no matter how much powder I apply, my face is never, I repeat never cakey. It is not a full coverage powder at all but it adds just enough to even out my skin tone and hide my enlarged pores although I do still use a concealer/liquid foundation on certain areas to hide my horrible acne scars.

Its a really nice finely mild powder

Either way this powder is amazing as a setting powder or a powder foundation! The finish I would say is semi-matte, it mattifys my skin for the day and controls my oil but I wouldn't say its the best mattifying powder out there, but personally I think its great because of the fact that its not overly matte your face looks more natural and gives the appearance of the 'no makeup, makeup' look.

Pros

• Very natural looking
• Never gets cakey
• Blends into the skin beautifully
• nice texture and finish

Cons

• Not full coverage, usually used as a setting powder rather than powder foundation
• Oil control is not the best

I definitely suggest you guys to check this out either as a setting powder or a powder foundation if you dont need as much coverage! this stuff is awesome :D

Coverage - 2.5/5

Oil control - 3/5

Lasting power - 4/5

Texture - 5/5

Finish - 5/5 

Overall - 4.5/5
