Ok, I know it's taken me longer than expected with this post, but it's well worth the wait. Sorry for the difference in backgrounds in the pics, I had to move around to get the best lighting for realistic colours. Although I realised when editing the pics, that I forgot to photograph the NYC lippie I bought (I'll do it later). 
Is it just me that gets this exciteable with nude lip colours? I love the image above!
We'll start with Boots;
Natural Collection Juicy Lips lipgloss in Fondant
Natural Collection Moisture Shine Lipstick in Apple Blossom
Currently on 3 for £5 offer (my sister also got their mascara)
Revlon Matte lipstick in 001 Nude Attitude, this is actually quite pricey for a drugstore lipstick I think. £7.13, so I got it off my advantage points (free, yay!)
Estee Lauder Pure Color Lipstick in Vanilla Truffle, £16.
As you know I also bought other things (pics will follow next week) and got lots of points/deals for them too.
Superdrug;
GOSH Velvet Touch lipstick in 134 Darling
GOSH lipgloss in 0059
currently on 3 for 2 (I also got a liquid eyeliner)
Finally my MAC Graphic Garden Summer Crop trio;
Summer Crop lipglass
Semi Annual lipstick (lustre)
Garden Bed lipstick (lustre)
Here's my opinion on the lipstick swatches, Revlon a matte orangey peach (you can see a pink flash very clearly in the tube), although it didn't show when swatched. Apple Blossom quite similar to the GOSH lipstick, but a brighter peach. Estee Lauder a heavier peachy brown, Semi Annual slightly more beige than GOSH, sheer, so buildable colour. GOSH Darling, I think this is the prettiest a soft pale peach colour (perfect J-Lo lips) and Garden Bed is the most brown with a lovely shimmer, not as sheer as some lustres can be.
Lipgloss swatches, Summer Crop is so pretty, with subtle but intense multi-coloured glitter (pics definitely don't do it justice), Fondant is a bright pink peach (looks like a gold sheen in the above swatch, but it didn't have this in real life) and GOSH is a nude-ish brown, very glossy and sheer.
Swatches and product line-up shown in same order (either left to right or top to bottom) Revlon to MAC Garden Bed. Please do not steal these images, they took me forever-I'll be mad! Click to enlarge and go out and buy all of these!
Hi everyone, had a fabby time shopping today. I will have more pics and details for you tomorrow, but in the meantime I took these photos quickly just now. I'm really pleased with my loot.
First up my Playboy cosmetics package arrived before we left this morning, so I still have that to properly look at.
I went crazy with the new nail polish colours at Collection 2000, plus I picked up yet another 2 glitter eyeliners.
It was 3 for 2 at GOSH and I got this gorgeous metallic eyeliner (that has better staying power than anything else known to (wo)man), nude Darling lipstick and a gorgeous nude lipgloss too. I must say I was very put off with the mucky testers and general gross-ness of the GOSH counter. It really makes me not want to buy anything when it's like that. Don't you think?
A lipstick from NYC which I tried that looks completely different swatched to in the tube. Revlon Nude Attitude matte lipstick (obsessed with nudes I know!). Lancome La Base Pro, after Lancome never got back to me about ingredients I just decided to go ahead and purchase. Estee Lauder Vanilla Truffle lipstick (...em, it's nude) and Natural Collection Fondant l/g and Apple Blossom (seriously) nude lipstick! I'll let you know all the deals and deets tomorrow.
Also popped into the Disney Store and went crazy over the new Little Mermaid stuff (got A4 notebook, stationery set (going to use the tiered box for makeup storage) and a pen set). Plus more hairbands from H&M, 2 purple Hello Kitty ones and the most amazing fuzzy (Aristocats) ears. What do I need them for?, you may ask (my sis did). They are ears people, ears! Ears with a bow! I'm going to wear them every day...proudly.
Oh, anyone know how to get rid of moths? We had a scary situation with 12 flying around our bathroom last night (there was a lot of squealing, ducking and diving from me). It's not like they 'nest', so I can't understand why we had that many. I know they are attracted to light, so we always keep the bathroom door shut (from the rest of the house/lights) and obviously the light is only on when we are in it. Mothballs are sometimes lavender scented, so we used a lavender room spray and sprayed all over the bathroom curtain and generally everywhere (we were gagging, the moths were flying!) and hope this will deter them.
