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

Last Friday Night #5

Hi! Its Monday again!! I hope you all had a great weekend! I have got a post today of my Friday night, which was good one, as three of my friends and I went out in Glasgow for the night!! So first things first, my FOTN!!



Primer - Benefit Porefessional
Foundation - No7 Intelligent Colour
Concealer - Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection
Blusher - Sleek Blush in Rose Gold
Bronzer - Gosh Bronzer
Highlighter - Benefit Sun Beam


Under Eye Concealer - Garnier Anti Dark Circles
Eye Primer - Benefit Lemon Aid
Eyebrows - Benefit Brow Zings Kit
Eye Shadow (base colour) - Benefit Eye Wanna Palette, cream eye shadow in Airbrush
Eye Shadow (patted over lid) - The Body Shop Shimmer bricks in Marshmallow
Eye Shadow (crease and outer corner) - Benefit Eye Wanna Palette in Deco
Eye Shadow (liner) - The Body Shop Shimmer bricks in Dark Chocolate
Mascara - Maybelline One By One Volume Express


I just wanted to show you a few snaps of the Benefit palette I used. I got it last year as one of their limited editions. It came with three very pigmented eye shadows and two of their crease less cream eye shadows, which make great base colours! I know that if Benefit bring any other palettes like this then I will be snapping it up quickly, because I love this little box!



Lip Tint - Benefit Posie Tint
Lip Gloss - Yves Saint Laurent Golden Gloss in Golden Rose

So we started off at of a great wee bar called Tingle, which is always busy!! We got a big jug of Strawberry Daiquiri for us to share, which was yummy! They play good music in Tingle, but because it is such a small bar, there is never any room to have a dance, so after another drink we left and went The Social in Royal Exchange Square! After a good wee laugh in there we then went to find a new club that had opened the weekend before, which we wanted to go to! When we go to 212 we went straight in and I realised that we had come into the back entrance of an old club. Karbon has been bought over and has been turned into 212! It was funny because the layout was quite different, but as soon as we went into the bathroom, it was just the exact same as what it was before!! It was actually quite quiet for a Friday night in 212, so they didn't open the room, we wanted to go into (as it had the best music for dancing!), so we had a good chat and some laughs! There was a lot of people watching going on let me tell you! It's quite funny the things you see in clubs!! 



Dress - New Look
Heels - Schuh 


Per the photo above, I don't like showing my friends on this just in case they don't want them on my blog, as none of my friends know about it! Only Robert knows I do this! Hence why I had to cut my beautiful friend out that pic!! 

Any ways! We ended up leaving the club quite early (well at 2am!) and my lovely Robert came and picked us all up! From the club to the car, we were walking through George Square and we were walking past a man (we were all thinking "hmmm strange man, keep away!") and he started walking near us, when he walked past us and said " You are all looking beautiful ladies, just beautiful" and walked off! We all felt a bit mean as it was quite sweet of him, but still you can't trust no one!!! Hehe! When we got to Robert we all jumped in and it was off to McDonalds for a drive thru! Hehe, then came the long task of dropping off all the girls, which meant driving all around Glasgow! Hehe we don't mind though obviously, want to make sure they all get home safe! Then on the way home to my house I saw two foxes! I am always quite happy to see foxes seemingly most while I am drunk!!! Haha! A good night was had and a good sleep was had after it!! Hope you had a good Friday night too, what ever you were up too!!

Love, Jen x

Benefit Go Tropicoral Kit!

Hi girls!

So as you probably all have guessed by now, I love Benefit products, which is why while on my spending ban I have went and bought one of their brand new colour kits, that were just launched yesterday! I had said to myself as soon as I had known they were coming out, which was before my spending ban had started that I could buy this kit! As soon as I say the Tropicoral kit I knew that I just had to have it!!


So this kit comes with four deluxe mini's of Benefit's Cha Cha Tint, High Beam, Coralista blush and the new Coralista lip gloss! All products I have not got and all I have been desperate to try!!


The packaging as per Benefits usual is gorgeous and I love the box, especially the leopard print edges!!



The kit also comes with a great little tips and tricks guide as to how to use each product. I love these little manuals you get with all the products  from Benefit, as they usually have a little idea in them that you wouldn't have thought of! Then obviously there is a mirror inside too!

Now onto the products themselves!

Now I absolutely adore my Posie Tint (which I use on my lips a lot!) and I cannot wait to get trying this! It looks very orangey, but I can see a slight pink tinge to this too, which I think will look fab on the lips and cheeks!


Now onto High Beam, which is a highlighter, that can be used on your cheekbones, brow bones and even down the centre of you nose and also on your cupids bow! I already have Benefit's Sun Beam highlighter (see review of that here) and I adore using it! So I am hoping that I will love this just as much!I like that you can use it in different areas of the face to Sun Beam, as it more a flesh tone colour.

The swatch below is blended out so you can see the shimmer and the light it could add to your face! So pretty!


Now onto Coralista!! I adore the Benefit blushers (see my review here), so I know I will love this product, as I am in desperate need of a proper coral blush! I cannot wait to start using it! Also how cute is the dinky little brush you get with it!!! Hehe, so cute and fluffy!!

Below is the swatched blush, looks gorgeous! You can see the pink, peach, orange and gold all running through it!


Then lastly onto the Coralista lip gloss! The gloss is a gorgeous orange coral which has no glitter or shimmer in it. Really pretty and would look fab over Cha Cha Tint! Also the packaging of their new lipglosses are super easy to use and as this is a mini, it is super cute size!!!

I am really glad I got this kit! I can see me using it all the time!! They also brought out two other colour kits, just in case you don't fancy the coral one. They are called Sugarlicious (which is focused around Sugarbomb) and Feelin' Dandy (which is focused around Dandelion). You can get each kit for £24.50, which I think is a great price for the four products you get inside!


What do you think of these new kits from Benefit then? Which one would you buy? Let me know!

Weekend Letters!

Hi girls!! So I am doing my Friday's letters today, therefore they have been called weekend letters!!


Dear Club 212, you are so very cheeky!!! We thought we were going into a new snazzy club and then we went through the entrance and down the stairs and low and behold we were in Karbon!!! As soon as I walked in I was like I know where I am! They had just used a different entrance and painted a couple of walls and made a new DJ area with snazzy lights!!! The cheek of them! Haha and it was really quiet too for a Friday night! They didn't even open up the good room, which meant I didn't get to dance as much as I wanted!! Boohoo! Dear Spending Ban, hello there, no I have not forgotten about you and yes I know I have been very naughty this week and there will still be one more thing bought today, so please don't be too mad!!! I'm sorry but sometimes you just have to buy certain things! I'm sorry ok?!?! Dear Readers/Followers, yes this does mean there will be a small haul this week at some point and also maybe a small make up collection post now that I have decent storage!!! I don't have a lot of make up so don't be expecting loads ok? It shall be a good week of lots of exciting posts for you! Yay! Dear Desperate Housewives, eeeek! I'm just about to watch the last episode of season 6!! I don't even remember what happens!! Gabbi has just found out that Angie and Danny have been kidnapped and then also Lynnette is stuck in a house with that crazy women killing boy, who has just realised that he has killed his own mother!! Oh the drama!! I guess it all goes into a huge finale as usual!! Can't wait to see it! Dear Make up, I really love your new set up and I hope you do too!! You used to be stuck in little boxes all mixed up and in a mess and now you are all looking lovely! Yay, this makes me very happy!! One word: Muji!!! Dear Long Lie this morning, thank you!! You were very much needed, especially after last night! I fell straight to sleep when I got home and didn't wake up until 10 minutes to 11!! Ahhh very lovely! Although my bed is very annoying and needs to be fixed!!! Robert (!!) please hurry up and fix my bed already!! Hehe, pretty please! Dear Robert, thank you very much for picking me and my friends up last night (or should I say morning?!) and then going on a hunt to find a Mcdonalds for us!! Hehe we all enjoyed it very much!!

Love, Jen x
