Lady Bug Says ... Make Up Buys

Evening Lovelies!
Hope you all had a great weekend. Sorry for the lack of posts, unfortunately life is very hectic at the moment! I am about a week behind on reading blog posts (so many to catch up on!) and loads that I want to write up. Hopefully things will calm down at work soon and I will have a bit more free time!
On Sunday I took part in the Pedal It Pink Half Marathon cycle ride. It was very difficult, but very rewarding! The event raised over £30k for Breast Cancer Campaign and I am very proud that I raised money and completed it! Thank you all for your thoughtful comments!
I thought today I would show you a few make up bits I have bought recently. Now I am by no means any kind of make up guru, but I do like to have a play around with it! So here is what I have been buying!

ELF Mineral Lipstick in Nicely Nude, £3.50
I really like this pinky nude colour, applied lightly it is perfect for a simple day look and layered up is a great, more intense pink.


Makeup Academy Eye shadows in Shade 3 & Shade 12, £1 each

These are them first items I have purchased from Makeup Academy and I must say I am impressed!

Love how shimmery these shadows are, am looking forward to trying out a smoky eye look with these - well once I have watched a few tutorials, I am rubbish at eye makeup!

ELF Shimmer Eye Liner in Boldly Bronzed, £1.50

This goes on so smoothly, no horrible dragging on your eye lids!

Sorry for the rubbish swatch, it is so sparkly. I am a sucker for anything vaguely shiny!

ELF Matte Finisher Top Coat, £1.50
Am really loving matte nails and am happy to report it doesn't leave your nails feeling like a chalk board!
Hopefully I will be bombarding you with new posts soon!
P.S. Don't forget you only have 2 days left to enter my 100 followers giveaway!

  3. Well done you on the bike ride. The Elf stuff looks great and seems to be really well priced. Have been meaning to look into it for a while after reading about it on MSE. xx

  4. I'm really bad at looking at cheaper make-up. I always go straight for expensive ones when perhaps I shouldn't. You have some lovely stuff there.

    Well done on your cycle ride!

  11. Those eye shadows look like my perfect choice of colour. I don’t own many single eye shadows, so it would be really nice to actually have something individual to throw in my bag, as opposed to a carrying a palette around x
