Trip To London- Small Haul!

Hello!
Thought i would write a quick post about my little adventure i took last Thursday up to London! I needed to try to cheer myself up as the last week has been terrible,so my sister and i grabbed the train up to London and had a wander around Regent,Oxford and Carnaby street!
I didn't manage to purchase that much as i don't have much money as my student loan doesn't come for another couple of weeks and also its soon my birthday and i have been given strict instructions to not buy too much incase people have bought things similar etc for present haha!
The few things i picked up were from Topshop and from their makeup collection which by the way is absolutely amazing in their Oxford Street store! I purchased two nail varnishes,one called Hypnotic which is a gorgeous silver with a pink/blue duochrome effect which is from their recently released 'Sisters of The New Moon' collection and the other colour is Razzmatazz! This shade is incredible as it is packed full of holographic and silver glitter!As far as i know,this is a brand new shade which has just been released and is part of their permanant collection!No doubt that NOTD's will be coming up with these!

Quick try of the colours!-Razzmatazz on the ring finger, Hypnotic on the others!

The other item i bought from Topshop is their kohl eye pencil in Coal which is black as i have heard wonderful things about it,and although i haven't actually had.a chance to try it on myself yet,when i swatched it instore it was really pigmented and super soft!


Topshop Kohl Eye Pencil In Coal (Black)

Even though i had hardly any money i had such fun swatching lots of different products!As you can see from my photos my hands were covered in all different colours! We went to all the different boots we could find, Selfridges- which is the most fun with the beauty hall,The MAC store on Carnaby street (which was packed!), and also managed to head to the PIXI store also on Carnaby street (which i was a tad disappointed in their customer service which put me off buying which is sad as the products looked lovely!) as well as all the different clothing stores in the area!
The beauty ladies at all the different stores were so lovely and i had to say especially the team at the Benefit on Carnaby street were so nice and we had such fun trying out all the products!


I had such a fun day and it really cheered me up!














I have a final question for you guys too! I really would like to invest in a YSL lip stain but i can only really afford to invest in one as they are around the £21 mark,i swatched a few colours i particularly liked but i would like to know which colour you prefer? Let me know in a comment below!
Which of these do you like best?


What are your favourite places to o in London?Where should i head to bect time i head up there?

HAUL!!

Hello!


If you follow me on twitter (@kbbeyoutiful) then you may have heard me mention that for the last week or so,i have been in my hometown of Maidenhead which is just outside of Reading. Currently, i am at uni in Stoke so to be able to come home for a little while is lovely!
I knew when i came back i would definitely go shopping as in reading we have shops such as h &m and house of fraser which aren't in Stoke! I was a little disappointed as there was not as much available as i was hoping,but i
did manage to find a few items!


First up,i went to Primark and managed to buy a new make up bag,which i was desparate for as i originally had this beautiful disney one from h&m (which as far as i know they no longer stock)but i broke the zip and so needed to replace it! The one i managed to get is okay,nothing amazing,but it is a lovely pink and purple colouring and on the inside it has 2 handy clear,zipped compartments so at least it is nice and easy to see all the products in there!The tag said it was £4 which i was fine with but when i got to the til it was down to £2 which was a bargain!
While looking for the make-up bag i also managed to find a blusher/face brush which is beautiful!!i absolutely love that it is a black and ponk colour scheme with the ends of the fibres being broght pink!Now i know that the brush is nothing amazing in its shape etc but i can not believe just how soft it is!definitely feels more expensive than the £1.50 i paid for it!Love it and wish i had picked another one up!
I also bought these eyelashes in a spur of the moment purchase!i can't argue really as they were a pound! they are lovely for a full lash look i just wish they were a little bit tapered,but that is just my preference! the glue they come with them is really good,they stick nice and easy,but they do stay sticky for quite a while so if you are in a rush these may not be best!
Finally from Primark i picked up these super cute pyjamas!Anybody who knows me will know i have a slight obsession with pugs so when i saw these i could not resist! i picked them up in a size large as i like my pjs baggy but to be honest i could have got away with the medium! They were £6-bargain!


I also stopped by at a MAC counter which i was so excited about and did say i was going to do in a previous post where i made a MAC shopping list!My boyfriend after some hinting bought me a house of fraser voucher for valentines which was so sweet of him,so i managed to use that to buy a few pieces! After your recommendations on here and twitter,i bought two eyeshadows, All that glitters and Patina! Both are beautiful neutral shades and i know i will be able to use them on a regular basis for say and evening looks!full reviews to come! Each were £10 and i bought them in the palette style so i could slot them into my pro palette!
Lastly i bought a lipstick in the shade 'angel', which i have read is apparently Kim Kardashians favourite shade!it is a beautiful neutral pink shade which has a beautiful sheen to it!love love love this colour! i didn't think about this colour prior to going to the counter but as soon as i saw it i loved it!


I have about £6 left on my voucher which i would like to use,any ideas what i could buy?i don't mind putting a bit of money towards it too!


Hope you enjoyed seeing this!Are there any new products you recommend i buy?!
