Huge London Haul

Hi guys! Excuse me for the very long break i had on this blog, but i'm really busy with uni, but here i am again with new posts coming soon!

Last week i went to London for few days just because i was missing London so much. I took the chance to do some shopping while i was there, but i tried to control myself and buy just things i can't get in italy, and i think i did a preatty good job. So here there are all the products i bought and some thoughts about them.

First of all i went to boots, which i love because there are so many interesting things there and as you may know boots doesn't deliver outside the UK. Well i went to boots and i picked up some really good staff...

The first thing i took was the tangle teezer which i heard so many good things about it. I have the purple sparkling one and i AODRE it! Literally it doesn't damage my hair at all, since i bought i'm always brushing my hair (and i feel a bit like rapunzel). For me brushing my hair was a nightmare because i have straight hair but they tangle a lot and when it comes to brushing them i always have tears on my eyes, if know what i mean. Well this brush doesn't hurt at all and it meant to be for all kind of hair and you can use it with dry or wet hai which is great!


Then, always from boots, i picked up two Bourjois trio eyeshadows, Mordore chic and Rose vintage.
Mordore chic contains 3 different shades of browns


Rose Vintage


I can't say a lot about these 2 trio because i hadn't the chance to use them yet, but when i'll try them i'll do a reviws if you want.
I also bought the nail polish remover by Bourjois and i can really sugest it if you are lazy like me when it comes to take off the nail polish. it's quikly and easy.


Moving to nail polish i fell in love with the Revlon FASHONISTA (471)


It's an amazing color but it comes out a little bit darker than in the bottle.

I also bought a set of the Real Technique core collection by Samantha Chapma.
This set is composed by: Buffing brush, Contour brush, Pointed Foundation brush and Detailer brush.


As you can see i used just the Detailer brush which is per fect to correct piples and any mistakes you make with the lipstick.

Then i went to the Origins stand and i bought a new cleanser Checks and Balances, for combination skin.


Well i think i'll write a review on this because i want to make an onest review, but i'm liking it so far.

Last but not least i wanted to try something from Liz Earle powder blush in Blossom 02. I can already tell you that i LOVE this blush and i think i'm going to try more thnigs from this brand.



There isn't much more to say about this product, apart from how lovely it its, so I will let the pictures do the talking. Oh and that I picked mine up from John Lewis for £16.50.

Hope you liked this never ending post ad please let me know any sugestion!
Love, Lucy

In Londo Mineral Collection, by Neve Cosmetics

I finally got the Neve Cosmetics London collection which came out some months ago, but i thought to share it with you all. In one of my previous post i spoke about the Neve Cosmetics brand and i think it's the only make up brand that Italy can be proud of, even if it's not very famous abroad. All Neve's make up are cruelty free and bio, so they can be used for every day make up without damaging the skin. They are well pigmented and not expensive at all. They also come out with different collections, this one i'm going to show you is called "In London", the temting name (i'm a london lover) and the beautiful colors made me buy almost the entire collection.

In London is composed by 4 different mineral eyeshadows 2 mineral blushes and 3 brushes. I personally own all 4 eyeshadows, 1 blush... but let see them closer!


Camden Town eyeshadow

Carnaby Street Shadows



 Kensington Gardens

Notting Hill eyeshadow

 

As you can see the pigmentation is incredible and the colors are just lovely.

London Mood Blush

For blush i only chose this one because this was the one i like the most while the other one was slightly orange so i decided to pick up this beautiful rosy pink.

If you like even just one of these products i suggest you to check out the Neve Cosmetics' website: http://www.nevecosmetics.it/it/

Thank you for reading,
see you at the next post!

Why do you wear makeup tag

Today I was suring on the web and I ended up watching the latest video by Louise and Sammi, it is called 'Why do you wear mekaup tag'. I actually think this is such a brilliant tag and I liked it so much that I thought to try to do it, but please remember that this is my first tag so can I have a standing ovation for this?

 
Anyway here's the questions:
1. When did you begin loving makeup?
2. How do you feel without makeup?
3. What do you like about makeup?
4. Three Holy Grail items? 

1. I have to admit that I've never been a mekaup girl because my mum doesn't wear makeup at all, but when I started high school everybody seem to be obsessed with make up, and people actually laught at me because I didn't wear make up saying staff like -you're such a monster- or -you look like Ugly Betty-. So when I was 17 I started to get into the makeup world hoping to look less like a 'Ugly Betty'.

2. This question made me face one of my main problems, I am 101% a makeup slave, I can of course go out with no makeup without cring but I actually feel FUCKING ugly and I feel like don't wanna talk with enybody.

3. As I said makeup makes me feel less 'monster' and more 'human'. With make up I can be a total different person, I see make up like a kind of new art and it helps me to express myself.

4. Well my favourite item is eyeliner, the one that I like the most is Yves Saint Laurent NOIR. This is one of my first purchase and I'm still in love with it after 3 years.
The second item I love is the Istant age rewind concealer by Maybelline.
And last but not least there is Touche Eclat by YSL which is my world, it bright up my face like no others.

So these are my enswers, what are yours? 
Please let me know with a coment what do you think and share this tag :)
