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.

In the Red.
As promised here is the second half my bank torturing haul. These bit's and bobs are all from the Semi Precious collections. I wish I had picked some of the eye shadows up now, namely Smoked Ruby. But I'll just wait for them to pop up in some sales, mucho cheaper that way.
This collection came out with four new Mineralized Skin finishes. Now, these are one of those products that I think I love, and buy ALOT of. But then I never use them, I'm not even sure why. I think they sometimes are too shimmer/glitterly for my likeing and make my pore look like the could house a small family. Anyway, all the MSF are called Semi Precious something. The one I picked out, having seen watches online, it seemed to be the only one that wasn'y packed with glitter and blindly light. It's called Semi Precious Rose Quatrz, and I sorta like it. As you can see from the swatches below the outta ring is loverly, however mixed with the inner light glitter it just becomes far too much. I'm gonna try a play with it a little more and see what I can do.
Secondly I picked up the Glem of Roses lipstick. I picked this up on recommendation of Temptailia. It's not really like anything I own, and is very pretty. It's much more pink than it appears in the swatches below. I wear it with a light pink gloss atop. It's been one of my lip looks recently. If you get the chance, pick on up.

Now, I had no reason to pick these up what so ever. I have enough brushes to last me a life time, even if half of them fell apart. But I'm just drawn to make-up brushes, they make such a difference to the applications. Some people will say they don't I however think they do. These brushes are totally different to anything I own, they are Split Fiber. Meaning one half is natural hair (the solid black) and the other half is synthetic (lighter half). I haven't atucally used these yet, so I can't really comment. But if you would like a review at some point give us a shout.
And now, just because it looks stunning when photographed some make-up porn starring Semi Precious Rose Quatrz.
My bank balance likes me less.
A few bit's of make-up i've picked up recently, when I say few I'm being kind to my self. I went a littlover board on MAC.
Most of what I picked out is from the MAC Semi Precisous collection and a few from the Fashion Flower collection. And lastly there are three things from blog sales.

I'll post the second half a little later one, there was far too much text and images one page. I nearly had a seizure. Also, sorry there was a lack of Following Friday yesterday. I have a very busy day, and I'm still feeling rather crap. So I'm going to move this feature to every other Friday and add something else in it's place.
I've got the 100 followers give away sorted, I know what I'm giving you guys! 28 more people to go!
