M&S cosmetics haul: Autograph / Козметика от Маркс и Спенсър

M&S cosmetics haul

Hello lovelies! 

I would like to share my thoughts on the M&S eye shadows and candle that I've bought about a month ago.
M&S Cosmetics - Autograph eye shadows
I got them on sale - 79 pence each, reduced from £6:
Autograph eye shadows: olive, vamp, pale pink
 3 single eye shadows:Vamp (a dark shimmery purple one), Pale Pink (shimmery white/pink) and Olive (dark sparkly khaki green). 

Pros: 
  1. Nice sleek packaging: durable and handy for travelling
  2. Every eye shadow comes along with a mirror. 
  3. Nicely pigmented, good range of colours. 
olive, vamp, pale pink

Cons:


natural light
1. All of the eye shadows are very powdery and can feel chalky at times, especially the Pale Pink one. The application is not smooth. This leads to fall out from the lids when applying, meaning that particles of the colour can end up anywhere on the face. 

Overall score: 2,5 out of 5. I would not purchase them again or try other shadows from the range. On the other hand it might be worth trying, when they are on sale if you are looking for cheap single eye shadow colours that are missing in your collection. 

The candle is called Alice + Eliza it was on sale and it retailed for 79 pence as well and the original price was 4 or 5 pounds
Pros:
  1. Beautiful flower print packaging: and because the candle is in a tin it is more convenient to use; 
  2. When you open the lid it has a light scent. 
  3. Burns a long time: I have been using it for a month now, every single day for а bit less than an hour - around 20h so far and I've got more than 1/3 of it left. 
Cons:

1. When lit up has no scent at all, only when you are very close.

Overall score: 2 out of 5. I would not repurchase it and do not recommend it, because I do like scented candles. Unless you are looking only for a nice packaging and long lasting candle that might be your cup of tea. 


Здравейте! :)
Наскоро реших да изпробвам 3 броя сенки от козметичната линия на Маркс и Спенсър - Аutograph. Бяха намалени от около 14 лева всяка на 1,70 лв за брой. 

Позитиви:
  1. Хубава опаковка: подходяща за пътуване и издържлива. 
  2. Всеки брой индивидуална сянка идва с огледалце. 
  3. bottom to top: Autograph eye shadows olive, vamp, pale pink;flash light
  4. Сравнително добра пигментация.
Негативи:
  1. При нанасяне цветовете се разпадат по лицето, особено най-светлият цвят: Светло Розово/ Pale Pink. Тоест текстурата им не е най-хубава.
Цялостна оценка: 2,5 от 5. Не бих ги препоръчала или купила отново, никога  ако бяха на редовна цена. Евентуално ако ги хванете намалени и се нуждаете от единични сенки (някой специфичен цвят и не ви се купува цяла палитра) би било интересно да се пробват, но има сенки на много по-ниска цена и с много по-добро качество (Golden/Rubi Rose и др.).

Свещта, която купих също беше намалена на около 1,70 лв. от оригинална цена към 10 лв. 

Позитиви:
  1. Красива опаковна: удобна за пренасяне.
  2. Като се отвори капака, свещта има съвсем лек флорален аромат.
  3. Издържа много дълго време: около 20 часа до сега, като има още около 1/3 от нея останала.

Нeгативи:
  1. Няма никакъв аромат, като се запали.
Цялостна оценка: 2 от 5. Не бих я купила отново, никога  ако беше на редовна цена. и не я препоръчвам, защото аз лично предпочитам ароматни свещи. Бих я препоръчала единствено на онези, които не държат на аромата, а просто искат красиво опакована свещ, която гори дълго време.

Primark haul 2014 +video / На пазар 2014 + видео

Primark clothing haul 2014 January
Здравейте!
Ето едно доста кратко видео с покупките от днес (изкуших се да започна да правя видеа...). Ако имате препоръки за програми за обработване на видео, заповявайте :).
Набляга се на чорапогащите, без тях не може, ха-ха. Обувки в доста приятен кафяв цвят за сухото време (ако съществуваше).
А на това синьо нещо с дантели пише ''носено за да се вижда'', ако сте от по-смелите. Много удобно за рокли и блузи без презрамки.


Primark tan flats £4
Hi there! This is a small Primark haul with a video of today's purchases. Most things were reduced to half price or even less. You can see the reductions in the video.
Primark tan flats £4
I really liked the tan flats - they look sturdy and casual, yet cute and elegant. A must* have for every wardrobe. They are padded in the 1st 1/3 of the feet, which is a new thing, or at least I haven't seem their shoes to have that before. Also you can never get enough tights as they break easily after few washes.

Primark tights: £1; £3

Boots Haul, July 2013, N7 cosmetics


Today I felt the destructive urge to shop. DO NOT ASK why, I have my reasons...kind of. Believe me, I am NOT the sort of person who finds great delight in spending money for useless things. I'd much rather save. But as they say ''better splurge on time'', which led to my epic fail today. We all know the tricky side of the coupons with discounts and points - as with every *document the magic is hidden in the small print. Why do you need the points? Well if you save up somewhat, somehow above  2 000 you might be able to get something nice for free I guess. I had a 500 extra points voucher if I spend £30 or above. However I did that in 2 different cash points and the kind lady at the 2nd one told me she was very sorry, but it was not valid in that case. £30 pounds should be spent in a single transaction, on a single cash point - no matter that it is with 10 minutes difference in the same BOOTS shop... Oh well, I guess I should blame the bad arrangement of male and female cosmetics...not blame yourself of course.
Anyway I had the best time there as far as a crazy shop-a-holic of the cosmetic-o-freaky kind could have.

I had ran out of foundation (not quite, but that is another story, which would involve comparison between brands). My love with N7 foundations is true and eternal. I have had the mouse one before and simply loved it. Now I was going for the Matte formula, recommended by Lisa Eldridge (one of my favorite makeup artists, with a website and youtube channel) . She recommends that for oily skin, as long as the Clarins Matte foundation, which is about £25.  However when the lovely shop assistant found/matched my skin colour with the machine  she could not match it with the exact foundation of that range, so I've received a tester to see if it will work somehow blended.

That is why I went back to the mousse formula which I already have tested and was impressed with. It was £12, 95 and now you get double points with the receipt until 11th August. There is an offer if you buy 2 products of the brand you can get a free bag with nice samples: primer, tinted moisturizer, eye shadow, lip gloss and mascara, all that in a waterproof bag.
 I will make a review in a week. 
I have also got the largely raved Collection lasting perfection concealer in shade 2, for £4,19.

Another thing coming soon is an amazing Men haul which I did as a surprise for my bf, however that is a subject to another post with recommendations for male grooming products or simply small gift idea for him.
 Have a nice week and work hard for what you really want - there is no shortcut to the easy life, sweat and tears - for lovely years. :)
