Meadowhaul

Lol sorry for the title, I do love a bad pun! Anyways here some of stuff I bought during my many trips to Meadowhall last month. I also kept going for the amazing food they have. I must've gone to Chilango at least 4 times where I had these magnificent chicken quesadillas and bought 8 cupcakes from Fancie because they are quite simply divine, the chocolate peanut butter one was amaze! Theres even a new ice cream parlor called Marble Slab Creamery where they sell cake flavour ice cream, nom.






MAC - I made two trips to MAC. The first time I bought Enchantee Kissable Lip Colour from the Peacocky collection and Impassioned lipstick. Not sure why Impassioned looks red here, but really its a fabulous bright pink. The second time I went for some more classics so I got Angel & Hue lipsticks as well as adding to my eyeshadow palette (nearly full now yay!) with Woodwinked & Satin Taupe.




NYX - I wandered into BHS once and was pleasantly surprised to find that the one in Meadowhall stocks NYX makeup! So heads up anyone who lives near Sheffield, if you want NYX stuff go to BHS. They don't have the full range as they didn't have any of the round lipsticks but they had tons of fabulous eye shadow palettes. I picked up the Smokey Eye & Nude On Nude ones. If you're one of the unfortunate peoeple who still can't get their hands on an Urban Decay Naked palette, I whole heartedly recommend the NYX Nude On Nude palette instead. There are some really gorgeous colours in it. What I love most about these palettes is how dinky they are! They're so tiny which means they are the perfect size for your makeup bag. And they even contain two different lip colours in each, perfection. I also got some of the Jumbo Eye Pencils in Milk, Pots & Pans, Slate and Black Bean. These are perfect for creating a really quick and easy smokey eye or as an eyeshadow base. I think its quite well known that Milk is an especially good base for bright eyeshadows. I like to use it on my waterline and inner eye corners to really make my eyes look bigger and brighter.


Extras - I had my roots done last month and the guy who did my hair has made my roots slightly yellower than the rest of my hair (smh...) so I went to Extras and bought some of the La Riche Directions hair dye. I got the white toner and silver colours. Not sure which to try first. I quite fancy the idea of having proper silver hair or maybe even lilac (obviously all the lilac haired girls on tumblr are influencing my choices here!) I really cant decide. But my hair is all messed up at the moment so hopefully these will sort it.
