Frontcover Cosmetics Eye Spy eyeshadow kit (Swatches!)

As its ever so quicky drifting towards December Boots once again stocks its shelves with Christmas kits and sets. The FrontCover collection from 08/09 was amazing and they've come up with the goods again this year. The only downside to this range is its only available at this time of year and sells out! 
They've even created a petition for Boots to sell this brand all year round, sign up here - http://www.frontcovercosmetics.com/petition/





So this is the (massive) kit. It contains - 15 x Baked Eyeshadows (shimmer/glitter)
5 x Pressed Eyeshadows (matte with tiny amounts of glitter)
4 x Glitter gels
Shadowline (eyeshadow transformer a-la too faced)
Double ended brush


And you get all of this for...... £35! (this, like all the other frontcover kits are in the 3 for 2)






The colour selection is good, leaning towards darker autumn/winter shades but with some brights thrown in, it's nice that all the eyeshadows are named too. There is also the choice of two different finishes here so there are endless amounts of combos.




Vanilla, Powder Puff, Burnt Toast, Amber Green & Black Ink


Lime Sherbert, Parrot, Moondance, Lagoon, Bluebell


Vintage Violet, Bougainvillea, Tallulah Pink, Taffeta Blue, Moon River


Glacier, Stonewash, Gothic Grape, Sledgehammer, Iron Stone


All in all this is a great set to have, the colours are buildable and go on lovely (just not with the brush supplied, unfortuneately). I've had so much fun playing around with it so far, the only problem is choosing which ones to use as I want to use them all!

Mac Haul & Prestige Mineral Bronzer

So I popped into my MAC counter today and was totally shocked to see the DSquared and StyleBlack collections sitting there, I've been checking the website since monday ( and they still aren't up on there. )
Anyways, I'm not really too impressed by them, the grease sticks were my fave from the lot, but I was hoping that the purple (V) would have a bit more pop than it did. I *might* go back and get it though. I also had a quick look at young punk MES, but to be honest, its so so weak you'd be better off getting beauty marked. So onto what I did get... 







I really love Studio Sculpt foundation, I've had no problems with it and it gives great coverage so I thought I'd get the concealer too. It's pretty thick but very creamy and not as sticky as BB Creamy concealer. I'm an NW15 in the foundation and its about right but the NW15 conealer was just way too light so I got the NW20 and I think it's just about right ( fingers x'd).




Eyeshadows - Satin Taupe, Twinks, Rated-R and Beautiful Iris
Love all of these, I had heard mixed reviews on satin taupe, either love it or hate it I guess. Its the perfect crease colour for me - so love. Rated-R is my absolute fave though, I'd been uming and ahing over this for ages and orginally went in for bitter but got this instead, very intense colour.






And the one non-MAC product -




Prestige Skin Loving Minerals in Shimmer
Half the price of an MSF, gorgeous shimmery glow.








So that's all. Until next time x
