Fascinating Eye Kohl by MAC

On those days where I feel wearing black or brown eyeliner is too harsh or I just want the effortless "no make-up look", I always opt for a flesh-toned colour such as the MAC choreographic pencils. Unfortunately, those are limited edition and I couldn't find it anywhere.

I wanted to try a different colour so I picked up MAC's eye kohl in Fascinating. Described as an "intense matte white", it seems like a scary colour to wear on the eye. I wanted it for waterline purposes and, at first I was sceptical to buy it. Then I found out it was the eyeliner Kate Middleton used on her herself on her wedding day. That itself pretty much concluded my decision.





I'm wearing: MAC's eye kohl in Fascinating on the waterline with Clinique waterproof mascara and MAC's paint pot in Morning Frost (limited edition, sorry).

I really like this eyeliner! It's not too intense like the website says, for me it's more of an off white rather than an opaque white. However, I think that's why I like it! If it was too white then it would make me look dead! It's really creamy on the waterline and you don't have to press hard to get a decent amount of colour. For £14, it's definitely worth it. I do have to mention that if you have some black or brown eyeliner from the previous day left on the waterline, when you put Fascinating over the top, it will make it look muddy. So make sure you take every scrap of make-up off before hand.

Hope this helped some of you.

London's Westfield shopping haul

Hello everyone!

I literally just got back from Westfield shopping centre in London and I thought I'd show you what I picked up as, most of it, is interesting. I got some make-up items, art supplies, magazines and clothes :)

-

American Apparel opened up in the mall so I went in their first. I'm not a fan of their clothing per say but I did love their nail polishes. They were £7 each (ok, compared to OPI and Butter London) and some of the colours were really unique. I picked up this one in "Smoke Dazzle" as it remind me of a cheaper alternative to the Chanel Quartz polish.



Magazines were on my list of things-to-get. I picked up the latest InStyle with Drew Barrymore on the cover along with Company with Florence (and the Machine) on the front! I limited myself to only two as these magazines can be expensive - especially if you buy loads in one go like me!

Just before leaving I saw the MAC shop and had to go in. I didn't pick up anything from their Shop MAC, Cook MAC collection as I didn't want to spent too much money. Instead I picked up the things I needed. I got a new eyeliner sharpener (only £3!) and two new eyeliners. I picked up Fascinating Eye Kohl and Stubborn Brown Penultimate Eyeliner. I've tried Fascinating before and loved it, but I've never tried - or heard of - Stubborn Brown. I can't wait to try it!

Even though I didn't take art as a GCSE option, I'm really getting into sketching so I bought a small sketching pad and some pencils! If I like any of my drawings, I'll definitely show you guys!

The main reason why I went to Westfield in the first place was to get some new jeans! Whilst painting my dad's garage a few weeks back, I destroyed my dark blue Forever 21 jeans. I wasn't that fussed, they were only cheap and I was in need of a new pair anyway! I went into Levi's but didn't like any colours and also went into True Religion, and yet again didn't like any that I didn't have. So, I went into Gap and found these. They are dark, dark blue and are very stretchy. They are described as Jean Leggings and I can totally see why. I absolutely love them. As an added bonus, they were a quite reasonable price!





























Also from Gap I picked up a t-shirt but I forgot to take pics!

Anyway, that was all I purchased. Me and my mum also went into the Apple store and preordered the new iPad for my Dad's birthday next month which was exciting. I have also just ordered a present for my mum for Mothers Day next Sunday - I hope she likes it!

I hope you're all having a great day.
