I be hauling, they hatin'
Anyway, I went shopping on Friday afternoon, once I had finished my last exam as a little reward to myself. I had really wanted to pick up these shoes from Topshop, but they only had them in a size 4. So I stomped my now boring shoes and left to shop for other goodies. I didn't pick too much up on this trip, however I did pick much more up at a later date. Which I may do a post on later some time.
Firstly I popped into Urban Outfitters. Now, I don't like Urban Outfitters. I love how the shop is set up, and the feel of it. The home stuff if beyond cute and kitch, and the Jewellery is darling. However, the clothes. Blah. They are too expensive, poorly fitting and just no, no. Well I've seen the two pieces I picked up on a number of blogs and Youtube videos and had been after them for awhile. I seem to have and obsession with crosses at the moment. I'm so hipster.

| Gold Cross Necklace - £14.00 | Sliver Cross Bracelet - £6.00 |
Above I said I loved their Jewelery. Ah, now after buying the cute little sideways silver cross bracelet I'm not so sure. After wearing it for around 3 days, the silver has already begun to rub off, and the brass it showing through. Am disappoint UO, it's such a delicate little bracelet and I really liked it layered with all my other bracelets and bangles. Secondly, on a much better note I picked up and over sized, long chained gold cross necklace. Oh God, I swear I've worn this everyday since I brought it. It goes with everything (would you judge me If i worked my outfits around the necklace?).

| Models Own Nail Polish - Lilac Dreams, Juicy Jules | Revlon Nail Polish - Stormy Canvas, Facets of Fuschia | Models Own Nail Art Pen | Maybelline Lipstick - Luminous Beige | Revlon ColorStay Liquid Eye Pen |
After seeing Danity Dolls nails I've been obsessed with nail art. I read that she used Models Own Nail Art Pen, which I had been meaning to pick up. Boots had a offer for a free Models Own polish in Lilac Dreams if you buy two Models Own products. So I also picked up another nail polish in Juicy Jules, a ridiculous over the top multicolor glitter.
Next I saw Revlon had released their new Limited Edition collection. I wasn't to keen on the lipstick and the lip gloss palette, but Dear Lord the polishes. If I made two polishes, they would be these two colors. Stormy Canvas is muted brown. It's a little like Nails Inc London Polish, which is one of my all time favorite colors, but less pink based. Secondly is Facets of Fuchsia, which is black based purple color chucked full of pink glitter. It's pretty much a dead ring for Deborah Lippmann's Bad Romance polish, but for a fraction of the price.
I picked up another of the Revlon Colorstay eyeliner, which is my go to when I don't have the money for Illamasqua Precision Ink. Broswing the lipsticks, like always, I've been looking for a berry toned one, but can't find the right one. Can you recommed me one? Any brand. But I found this light nude brown. I tought it would be usefule for toning down brighter lipgloss and lipsticks.

Monday Make-up
Stila One Step Correct - Just look how pretty this product is! Gah I just want this sitting on my dressing table. Stila is backing in the UK, at last. I'm always lusting after their products on US bloggers posts, but haven't been able to try any out. But now I can. However I never remember Stila being this expensive before, am I the only one? Or do I have some kind of misty eyed view?
Revlon CustomEyes - Revlon is most defferntly my most loved of the cheaper brands, although it's the more expensive of the cheaper brands. Anyway, these Customeyes are a new type of shadow compact, they also come with a liner. While the colour releases are a little limted at the moment (a gold/bronze, Purple and blue. Who hasn't seen those before?!) I still want to try these out. I'm also looking for good quality compacts to bung in my bag for touch ups on the move.
Nails Inc 3D polish - One of my many, many beauty weaknesses is Nail polish. You will see when I gather the courage to post my sicken nail polish collection. And with the partying season coming up glitter is always, always a good thing!
Benefit They're So Real Mascara - This has been everywhere, and I'm a sucka for promotion. So I really want to give this a go. I'm running low on mascara at the moment, and this is just an excuse to pick more up.
Benefit Cha Cha Tint - Shockingly I'd never tried any of Benefit's tints until they came out with Company magazine a few weeks ago. While I'm not a big fan of the original Bentint I really love the other two, HighBeam and Poise Tint. Cha Cha is the latest edition to their collection and it's very me. So I'm hoping to be smearing this on my face in the near future.
Benefit So Hooked on Carmella - I had a sniff of this while my friend had her brows waxed at the Benefit brow bar. It was so light a so refreshingly sweet! I know Barbs from ThePersianbabe loves this perfume, and she is my life so I feel I owe it to her. Although I've never owned a Benefit perfume before, have any of you guys? What's they like huh?
Lancome Doll Eyes Mascara - Fun fact I typed LOL instead of Doll first, no idea why. Anyway this has the same reasoning as the Benefit mascara, it's everywhere and it seems to be getting very good reviews!
So what beauty bits and bobs are you lusting after this pick? Have you picked any of the above up, care to tell me if they are crap or not?
