What I'm Loving , Hating and Wanting

So lets start with what Im loving , I have to be honest I'm loving a lot at the moment so here we go:

*L'Oreal Super Liner in black. This is so different from all the liquid liners I've used ( and that's a lot). The main thing that makes me love this is the applicator , its sponge like but the shape is perfect for lining also the flexibility makes it follow the edge of your eye perfectly , its virtually mistake proof for me . The only thing I would say is that it isn't a flat black liner it has some sparkle. But I love that as I think it breaks up the harshness of a flat black line you can sometimes get when only wearing liquid liner.



*MAC Love Lorn Lipstick. This is described as an "emotive blue pink" it looks quite bold in the tube but it is a lustre so gives a slightly sheer buildable finish.I bought this as I wanted a dupe for MACs Pink Fish tinted Lip Conditioner. Its close but pink fish is slightly lighter. I've been wearing this with Sugar Rimmed Dazzleglass as it makes it more wearable for daytime( im really not that daring ).

*NARS Orgasm Blush. everyone's like yeah yeah , what's new like we haven't heard about this one before.But I do really love it I can definitely see why its everyone's cult favourite it really works on every skin tone.Its a perfect peachy/coral with gold shimmer. I've been wearing everyday for about 2 weeks solid and I'm not bored yet.

*MAC Satin Taupe Eyeshdow. This is one of the most flattering eye shadow's for olive skinned people (NC 37+) I'm not saying other skin tones can't wear this at all ,I just think every olive skinned person should own it. MAC describes it as a Taupe brown with silvery bronze shimmer, so pretty . Its a colour I don't have to think about I just apply it and go. Recently I've just been applying it all over my lid blending slightly towards the edge of my eyebrow creating a very blended winged effect and finally smudging it across my lower lash line . Paired with black Liner it looks awesome.

And very briefly some honourable mentions, Sugarrimmed Dazzlegalss, Mac Gentle Mineralize Blush, Gosh Darling Lipstick and Casino Bronzer.

What I'm Hating..

So there I am at work one sunny Saturday and I'm looking at the NO7 eyeliners , I've always thought they looked good and I'm just overhearing the NO7 consultant do the hard sell tactic and I'm sold , so I buy the black "Amazing eyes pencil" ... well I think I can honestly say its the worst eyeliner I've ever used, Ok it smudges but that's about its only redeeming feature and you tend to forget that that's the only good point when you look like a racoon 4 hours after applying. It also refuses to apply to the water line and when it does its very faint. Lastly because it is so soft it needs sharpening constantly but of course the softness always means it gets stuck to the inside of the sharpener. So all in all not a good experience. I haven't tried the other colours but I'm not that up for wasting £7.50  in the name of experimenting, I'd much rather go and buy a MAC one. Has anyone ever tried the NO7 eye liners if so what did you think ? 

My wish List ...**sigh** 
*Benetint, I bought this for my aunty for her birthday and she let me try some , and gosh I'm in love . really is the most gorgeous red lip stain. since its a stain its not too bold which I'm all for. I tried it on my cheeks too and love it there as well.
*Dolce Vita NARS blush, Only for the description "dusty rose" just sounds so damn pretty 
*Myth Lipstick.Because I do not currently own a true nude lipstick and lots of people rave about this one.
*Coney Island Cotton Candy OPI nail Polish, Purely because the colour has been likened to that of the Christian Laboutin nude pump.
* A lilac lipstick , I have no make preference here I just want a good one so if anyone has any suggestions please let me no.

What are your loves , hates and wants?
