New Year Haul/Winner Of Sweet Giveaway

HELLO! Before I start getting into my New Year haul, I just want to wish you all a Happy New year 2012! I did some shopping in the last couple of days and today and managed to get a few goodies for myself to kick start my New Year...

Kiss Rose 120 Eyeshadow Palette
I bought this 120 eyeshadow palette from an eBay seller in Hong Kong a couple of weeks back and it arrived just today! It comes in a pretty fabric-like case, it is designed to look like a clutch purse....

My Early Christmas Present! The Strictly Come Dancing Fab-u-lous Cosmetics Case!

Hey everyone!
I recently got hold of my Early Christmas pressie - The Strictly Come Dancing Fab-u-lous Cosmetics Case! woot! Look at the absolutely stunning black sequin case!!

Look at the gorgeous array of eyeshadows, lipglosses and blushes, all in a palette form while the Vanity case lies open! The makeup it comes with easily slips out so you can add your own items to the different tiers! It also comes with three makeup brushes - 1x lip brush, 1x eyeshadow brush, 1x blush brush. To be honest I found these brushes to be of a mediocre quality, the speed at which the two smaller brushes are shedding, I recon these are going to end up like a bald man's head!

Some eyeshadows are more pigmented than others but majority of them are quite pigmented. Lipglosses are simply fabulous and nicely pigmented. The blushers have a shimmery finish and are of a decent quality for the price. Below you can see the swatches of all of these (All swatched dry and without any base underneath):-

(Eyeshadows - 1st Row)

(Eyeshadows - 2nd Row)

(Eyeshadows - 3rd Row)

(Lipsticks/Lipglosses)

(Blushers)

This would surely make a nice present for any girly girl who has newly entered into the makeup world and wants to get her hands into trying out different colors and textures! I can justify buying this alone for its gorgeous case and lipglosses! I spotted this at Boots in the half price offer, but by the time it was bought, it had gone back up to full price i.e £45. Its now down to £30 so grab it while it lasts!
