THANK YOU!! xx
If you only buy one thing, make it the YSL Rouge Pur 148. It's my favourite ever and there are some swatches on my blog. Ironically, I bought mine in London too :) The Rouge Volupte's are gorgeous too. I've gone off Revlon's colourstay but have loved it for a year xx
ReplyDeleteI would save some money and buy some of your items on www.cosmetics-skincare.com and it is genuine stuff. I know they have the UD Big fatty mascara and they did have Mac Style, their stock changes all the time, the owner said they're getting new stock at the beginning of april,
ReplyDeleteJust to save yourself a bit of money!
Otherwise, I'd give colourstay a miss, I find it really really heavy and hard to blend. I like healthy mix, it's light and nice for summer.
I have dandelion and have coralista in the powderazzi compact. Dandelion is nice but dupable with any light pink blush. Coralista is beautiful though. I'd go for coralista over style. Style takes more blending to not look orange!
And sable is gorgous!
Have fun,
Laura xx

There is a review of the Korres Wild Rose powder on my blog, just click the Korres tag and it will come up :)
ReplyDeleteI've heard that UD big fatty isn't that good and that the Colossal works better than that.
What I would suggest is checking out swatches online of the products first so that you have a better idea.
Another thing you could do is decide which shops you want to buy the items from, e.g. all the high end stuff from Selfridges and all the high street stuff from Boots. That would save you some time :)

id say check out cosmetics-skincare.com if theyr gna restock in a coupla days cos its genuine
ReplyDeleteand they selll ud big fatty mascara
and also u should go to carpisa which i really like for buying handbags....its really reasonable but also lovely stuff x
I've heard bad things about Healthy Mix.
ReplyDeleteI have both Dandelion and Coralista - for me, both are must haves and my go to blushes, along with By Candlelight by MAC. Both extremely cool for paler skins.
