MAC Haute & Naughty Lash Mascara - review and swatches.

Hey! 
Hope you have all had an awesome extended weekend, I loved all the wedding related posts I've seen! I've been a little ill and people who follow me on Twitter might have noticed BUT I'm back on track now, so here we go.

You may remember me saying in THIS post that when I ordered my MAC Quite Cute Blush, I got a free mascara, well here it is!

Haute & Naughty Double Effect Mascara - £17.50 (or free in my case!).
Instantly fell in love with the glittery packaging. 
What it is, the pink lid you see is one mascara brush, then the glitter lid is another which with the pink inside, doubles up.

This is just the pink lid's brush.

Before with no mascara.

After with the 1st brush.

Then here is what it looks like with the 2 brushes combined.

With the 2 brushes.
As you can see I have REALLY short stubby eyelashes, so I preferred using just the 1st brush as was lighter for my eyelashes. I guess my opinion is a little bit bias because I don't really get any benefit out of using the 2 brushes together because of my tiny lashes, but if you had nice healthy ones I could totally see it working!

Anybody else tried/got any reviews of this? I'd love to see.

MAC Quite Cute - Miss Behave Mineralize Blush - swatches and review.

I wasn't going to buy anything form the Quite Cute range but I had an email from MAC saying there was free delivery and a free gift (an AMAZING mascara which I will post about soon) so I caved and picked up this little beauty:


Miss Behave Mineralize Blush - £18.
A light peach with a mint/silver heart center.

It is 4g, which is bigger than normal MAC mineralize blushes that are usually 3.5g.

1. Peach on its own
2. Mint/silver heart on its own
3. Mixed together.

It's great for my skin tone as its really light and then add that silvery shimmer that you can see on the top of the cheek.
I think for darker skin tones it wouldn't work as great.

I just love it, it's really nice and light for this sunny weather we are having and add a highlight too which I've been looking for for ages! The only thing is that I feel the 'mineralized'-ness (not a word I know!) of the heart seems to dust everywhere which seems like a bit of a waste of product.


I also got these super cute badges free too!

Sorry about the delay of announcing winners for the giveaway: the first winner was Hannah, 2nd was Harriet and 3rd was Simone. CONGRATS! I've emailed you all.

Also I'm very close to hitting 1000 google readers which is so awesome, i know it will go right down after I announce the winners due to giveaway-made profiles BUT if I do hit 1000 I shall be doing another giveaway - so stay tuned :) Just know I love and appreciate every single comment and reader I get no matter if it's from google reader of not!

Hope you have all had a lovely weekend!
