In & Out #1

Okay so this is my first In & Out post. I thought I'd jump on the bandwagon as a lot of blogs are doing this. So here goes (:

IN

Maybelline 'The falsies' Mascara- Ok so this has been out for quite a while now, and it's been lurking in my makeup drawer for ages. I decided to give it another go today and it fanned my lashes out beautifully and gave quite a nice length. Thumbs up for Maybelline!

The Twilight Saga- So I read the first two books soon after their release while I was on holiday but just never got round to the third. I'm currently reading it, and sorry to be cliqued but you really can't put it down. The films out soon and I'm glad they're splitting the last book into two films. The film does not come close to the books though so I suggest you read them.

Receiving my provisional driving license- Yay! I will be on the roads very soon. I'm thinking of doing a crash course but not sure yet.

The upcoming MAC collections- The upcoming MAC collections look fun. In the groove looks to have some lovely mineralize blushes and Alice + Olivia has cute packaging and the lipglass collection looks promising. I found the info courtesy of Temptalia.

OUT

Rainy days in Summer- I hate it when we have lovely weather here in England and then it changes so quickly to horrible drizzly, grey days :( Another annoying thing about this is you never know what to wear!

Parcels being sent back to the Depot- I hate it when I miss my delivery and then send my parcel back to the depot instead of leaving it with my neighbour especially when it's on the delivery instructions. Grrr!

MAC's Creme Colour Base in Pearl- I just hate it to be honest, it doesn't blend well at all. I've resorted to using it just for an eyeshadow base which I really don't need as my Urban Decay Primer Potion is the holy grail of all eyeshadow bases!


Well that's it for my first In and Out post. I hope you liked it. Have a nice rest of week and weekend :)

Update on me and other boring stuff!

Okay I haven't posted in a while now... To be honest I've been quite busy at the moment, I have my AS Level exams looming up on me very soon, so haven't really had much time for anything but revising... I know boring!

On a positive note:

I've been shopping in the last few weeks and I've bagged myself some new MAC products including the Viva Glam GaGa which I have had my eyes on for quite some time as I'm a huge GaGa fan! Also I thought I'd try out the Studio Tech Foundation... I'm still having mixed thoughts about it now and I've hit pan.. I am going to use it all up though as it was fairly pricey (£22.00) and I don't like to waste makeup. I do love love love my MSF Natural in Medium though it gives a lovely finish to the skin hence the name 'skin finish' duhh. I also purchased one of Mac's Powder Blushes in Pinch O'Peach the main reason I bought this was due to SWalkerMakeup's videos on YT and I felt it was a lovely shade on the skin and I have to say I'm very pleased with the results. I will be purchasing more blushes from MAC, I have to say I was a MAC blush virgin before that purchase and I love the consistancy and blendability (is that a word?!) of the product (:

I'm also very exited as it's my 17th Birthday on Saturday the 22nd so I should be driving soon.....clear the roads people! I don't know how to take the whole driving thing.. I'm nervous/exited but I hope I will overcome the fear of crashing and get into it and enjoy it. My DREAM car would be a Grey Mini Convertible.... but I don't thing my budget will even stretch to a Corsa yet haha...... well at least I can keep dreaming..... XD

Sorry this post is lacking in pictures and the content is well, rather dull. But once my exams are out of the way the whole blogging and twitter lark will be up and running properly and I hope I can gain alot more subscribers to both! I may even consider Youtubing as that seems a great meduim to get my little obsession across with!

Lots of Love

Charlotte.
