Hi girls!! So here it is, my little make up collection, all in its nice new storage (for more info on the Muji storage click here)!


By the way this is it sitting on my bed, just for taking photos, for better lighting etc! So you can clearly see the three drawers being used and the items on the top, most of which are either too big to fit in or there is not enough room in the specific drawer for it, so are for the moment just sitting on top! Then to the side, there is just a little beaded trinket box that I keep some products in too!! More on this later! I will just add firstly, any item that is typed with a link will take you to a review on the product or a post that contains swatches of the product!

Oh and also in the photo above I have some brushes mostly from the Body Shop, Benefit tweezers, a pencil sharpener and eye lash curlers! Now I will just add that I wrote this post just to show all of my readers, I did not type this post to brag, although my collection is so small I don't know why anybody would think I would be able to brag about it!! Also all of this make up was either bought by me or given to me as a gift ie. from my parents or Robert! Hopefully you all liked this post and it gave you a good insight into the make up I have and what make up products I like to go for!! If you would like to see a certain item up close or you would like a review on it then let me know! Also if you click here then you might be able to find swatches of the products if I have bought them whilst I have been doing my blog, which is a lot of these items by the way!! Let me tell you one thing blogging is so not good for your bank balance!! Haha that is why I am on a spending ban!

Ok so let me know if you would like to see a review on anything that does not already have one! Also let me know if you have done one of these posts as I would love to have a read at it!!

Love, Jen x

Debenhams Haul! Including My First MAC Product!!

Yup, I did tell you that I would be showing you a little haul this week! Everybody say;

BAD JEN!!!

Oh well... Although I do have an excuse as to why there is a haul on my blog, when I am on a spending ban! I have been getting quite a few spots around my hairline on my forehead, which is the weirdest thing on the planet because I never get spots... like ever (haha total Taylor Swift moment definitely going on here). So obviously as I have no spot removing products at all, I had to buy one! So I instantly though of the Origins Super Spot Remover, which I have read a lot about on various blogs, saying that it was excellent! So after a hunt for it I was sadly unable to get it at any of the shops surrounding me, so it was of to the internet I went! I went onto the Debenhams website, which was on it so I put it in my basket and then noticed a deal where if you spent £30 you get delivery free! So obviously I just had to do that didn't I?!


The Origins Super Spot Remover is definitely something I thought I would never have to buy, but sadly I needed it and so far, so good! I can see why people say it lasts for ages because you only need the tiniest amount! This was £13, which I was quite happy to pay for as for what it does is good value!! I know It is £12 from Boots, but when I was on the Boots website, it was out of stock!

The next thing I popped in the basket was an Illamasqua Intense Lip Gloss in the colour Mistress. Its a really bright orangey coral, bet when you see it on my lips below, turns into a really intense pinky coral. It feels really lovely on the lips, not too sticky and it stays on the lips for a long time too! These lip glosses are usually £14, but some how Debenhams are selling these in a sale for £5.81! So this was the product that brought me just over the £30 that I needed to get free delivery! As it was in the sale, I thought I would be receiving the old style of lip gloss (which has a brush applicator on the lid), but no I got the new style, which is great for applying on the go! I was really surprised!




Mistress is such a gorgeous colour, with shine but no glitter at all. It is very buildable too, so you could layer it up to get an even brighter pop of colour! I think I got a great bargain!!


Now onto my first ever MAC product!!! I was soo excited to put this one in my basket! Hehe! So I went for one of their paint pots in the colour Rubenesque. This colour is described as a golden peach with a gold pearl and it is BEAUTIFUL!!! It really reminds me of rose gold, so if you love anything in rose gold then you should definitely buy this!! I think it will be an amazing base colour or something that could just be worn on its own! Mac paint pots are £14.50.



I couldn't believe how pretty it was when I opened that little pot up!! It is super super soft and really easy to apply! The colour pay off is amazing, but don't expect any glitter within this, it has just an amazing shimmery sheen, which is obviously from the gold pearl.

I am very pleased that this amazing product was my first MAC purchase! Now I promise it will be Christmas before I get another MAC product!! Oh emm gee I can't wait!!! Hope you liked my little haul, which was very naughty of me, sorry spending ban! I will also just say that I picked the totally wrong week to buy that stuff, because right now Debenhams have 10% off all beauty products!! So I suggest if your going to buy something from there buy it now!! Hehe! The delivery was really good too, it said between 3 and 5 days and it came on the third day!

Have you bought any naughty purchases recently? What do you think of my first MAC purchase? Was it a good one? Let me know!!

Love, Jen x
