Just because I couldn't wait, I made a few purchases from the new Generation Q collection today!

I know this post is slightly late, but I had to wait until I returned from holiday last month to be united with my July edition!

MAC Pro Longwear Lipcreme in Red Dwarf

I received this colour for my birthday (thank you Nat! :)

Pro Longwear Lipsticks are designed to give up to 12 hours of colour.

MAC describes Red Dwarf as a Pink Blue, I agree it's a deep pink raspberry colour on me.

Illamasqua June 2012 Haul

Selfridges was the place to be last Thursday 31st May. The beauty event was heaving.

Selfridges is my local after-work joint for a make up item or 5 from the Illamasqua counters!

So, I am in love with these glosses so much that I went and purchased yet another one!

Quickest Drying Ever - Essie Good to Go

I picked up a mini 5ml Essie Good to Go Fastest Drying Top Coat from the Professional Beauty show this year.

Nailed it!

This post is a bit late, but I had my nails done as part of the LCBT (London College of Beauty Therapy') 'Help us Nail It Again...' Guinness World Record event for the most filed and varnished nails in 8 hours.

Revlon Colorburst Lip Butters

In my previous post for the Revlon Lip Butter colour in Macaroon, I said that I wasn't really convinced about the colours. In fact, it took me ages to select a colour because I can be indecisive about these things and I didn't really know which ones would look good against my skin tone.

After a hand full of colour comparisons, I purchased Macaroon and I was happy with my choice.

I wore Macaroon during the week, then found myself back in Superdrug with hand-full of colours again, and I brought 3 more colours!

Revlon Macaroon 096 Colorburst Lip Butter

If you like sheerness mixed with creamy colour, then these lip butters are for you...

When they first launched, I wasn't that impressed if I am honest as I was unsure which colour to buy as I couldn't try them in the store. After reading review, after review I really wanted to see what all the fuss was about so I was determined to sample on the lips before choosing a colour.

I went with Macaroon. After trying to find the colour on the website, I realised Macaroon 096 is a specific UK exclusive. Here in the UK, we have 14 of the 20 colours available.

Real Techniques Stippling Brush

The Real Techniques Stippling brush is a dual-fibre brush with synthetic taklon bristles. The bristles are about an inch long, so great for precise application of highly pigmented colour!
