Sleek- "Avoir La Peche" collection haul

Hello Biuties!
A few days ago I did a post and look inspired by this collection and I couldn't wait to get my hands on the actual palette! Of course I had to get the rest of the collection for blogging purposes (officially...)
As you can see the collection includes a Pout Polish (Sugar May); a blush (Pan Tao); and an eyeshadow palette (Paraguaya)
I have to warn you that this is an extremely pic heavy post!!!!

Peach Oh Ma Pêche!

Hello Biuties!
To celebrate spring and the latest Sleek collection I thought I'd do an all peach look!
I believe that peach is a beautiful color to have o whatever your skin tone.
It gives you a healthier and warmer shade especially on the cheeks but only with a light hand... You wouldn't want to be confused withe Katie Price's long lost cousin now would you?... Lol Just kidding!
Vive la Pêche!!
Pêche in french means peach (the fruit or the color) but it also means fishing (to fish)...
"Avoir la pêche" means to feel great, full of energy or to be on great form.
You could also say "avoir la banane" which means the same thing!
I of course am referring to the more fashionable, appealing and fruity side of the word... LOL

The wishllist...

Hello Biuties!!
Well its not really a wishlist since everything has already been bought...

I ordered everything below from the UK and had it delivered at my brother's so he could send them all to me. Most of this stuff is MAC and I could have had it delivered here directly but the french website receives new collections quite late and in a very limited quantity.
Within a day most of the products from a popular collection are sold out.
My brother has kidnapped my stuff and some items date back to november...
Boys will be boys I guess...
But I have definitely learned my lesson and will never send him my stuff ever again!!!!!
Pray fro me to get my stuff real soon :(

Isn't it frustrating when you have to wait ages for something you want so bad to be delivered???

IMATS you say?!?

Well... not really!
When I went to MUFE last week, the sales lady and I got to talk makeup and I told her I had a blog and everything and she sent me an invitation to the 12th Salon de la Beauté "Black Beauty".
Its kind of a version of the IMATS but a lot less Grand!
I was so surprised I didn't even know that it was happening and the best news is that I don't have to wait to long to attend...
it's this weekend!!!!


I'm so so excited!
There are roughly around 50 brands and shops which range from makeup to hair, accesories, nails, dietitians and lots more.
So I'll definitely have a look and enjoy my time and I already have a few brands I know I will have to check out (MUFE, Sleek, Bourjois).
There are also brands that I know of but have never tried (Black Opal, Milani, Nacara) so its definitely a great opportunity to check out these brands and others that I didn't know existed.
I'll of course take picture, swatches and most definitely buy!!!

I still need to find someone reasonable to come with me though... 
Muah!

MUFE haul

Hello Biuties!

Up to yesterday I was a MUFE virgin!!
I was really in need of a brush cleanser so I decided to check out my local MUFE boutique.
Of course I got things that I wasn't planning on buying! lol
Anyways here's what I got that definitely wasn't planned!!

MUFE 12 Flash Colors
These are perfect to use as a base. I have heard so much about these so I had to pick it up.
This is definitely on the expensive side but there is a lot of product and I know it will last me a long time!
Stay tuned for a review probably sometime next month...

MUFE HD liquid foundation
 Shall I say more? 
I think I'm the last person on the planet to test this out! Lol

And finally I got the brush cleanser that I desperately needed!
This smells soooo bad, the smell of the alcohol is sickening but I need it and we'll see how it works for me...
The lady in the shop also gave me a makeup remover sample... we'll see how that works for me. If I like i may go ahead and buy the bigger bottle as finding a good makeup remover for me is like impossible since I've been here!

I'm quite happy with what I got, the hubby saw the ticket through the bag and just gave me "the look" and later on tonight I'm sure I'll have "the talk"... Lol

Muah!

Ebay Fuckery of the week!

This week its not about ebay but about I website I found that sell everything "MAC"... Or so you think!

Click here to check out the webstite, it looks just like Amazon its unsettling!
Have a browse, have fun and here are the top 5 most ridiculous "MAC" items for sale!

#5
Its a Venomous Vilain Mascara!!!! 
Its got the curve and the design but that formula doesn't even look good!!!

#4
Its a 2 in 1 MAC product, a lipgloss AND a mascara just because during the day you might want to touch up your lipgloss and of course your mascara at the same time right?!!!

#3
First of all this looks nasty... and the box even has a picture of the product... so MAC-like!!!
Urgh! They should be ashamed!!!

#2

All I want is a brush cleanser...

Hello Biuties!!!

MAC and me are having some kind of crisis...
I was sooo delighted when I moved to find out that I could order on MAC's french website and get my stuff delivered to my front door. I tried it once, it arrived within 2 days and I was so pleased that comfort was just a few clicks away.
Now since i had bought a lot of makeup before leaving England I didn't need anything from MAC until a few weeks ago.

I'm running out of brush cleanser as you can see from the picture and that is all I want to order.
So I do my usual clicking dance and there goes the MAC website telling me that my postcode is "invalid"... 
Furious I call up MAC and ask if they no longer deliver here... I let you guess what the sad answer as :(

So I decided to send an email to MAC asking them where am I supposed to get MAC products now?! Needless to say that my email hasn't beeen answered. I sent another email a few days a go and still no answer!!!!

Ok I am miles and miles away from France but where I am is part of France and we have exactly the same services, postal service and all that and i just don't understand why so many companies don't ship here its just ridiculous!! I order stuff from England and the states with no problem and its so hard to find a french website that would ship here!! I just can't understand the logic of it.
The US MAC website ships to Hawaii so why is it that the french MAC website doesn't ship here?!!!

Sorry I'm ranting but I'm really pissed of at MAC for this and they better answer me!!!!!!!!!

Muah!

Sneak peek...

Hello Biuties!
To start off I thought I'd share a few of the looks that I have been spotting in the past few months. There aren't many as I was working and walking around the office with rainbowed colored lids and bright fushia lips wasn't really an option lol.
Anyways I hope you enjoy :)))
