I’ve been very lazy on the blog and YouTube front, I know! However in my defence it’s all the good weather’s fault!!!!

We are having ridiculously beautiful sunny days here, our summer is lucky to last 5 days in Northern Ireland (I kid you not) and we’ve trebled that already this year! It’s so hard to stay indoors long enough to knock out a blog post and tbh I’m just addicted to the feel good factor I get from these long heady days. I hope everyone is enjoying them as much as me!

I’ve a bit of a headache this afternoon (sunstroke…j/k).. and therefore I thought I’d seize the opportunity to blog.

If you follow me on Twitter you’ll know that a fortnight ago my husband returned from San Francisco where he was on business. He always brings me back a few US cosmetics, and this time he really went a bit crazy! Not complaining tho. I’ll not bore you by showing you everything but these are a few of my faves

L-R; High Maintenance, Metro Chic, It's All About Me

I asked for Metro Chic as I’ve been after this cult nail polish for a while, however Matt surprised me with the other two, check out the names, he’s a funny boy!

Sephora Platinum Professional Brush #55

I’m a brush fiend, and with rumours circulating on the internet that this baby gives the perfect Airbrush finish to foundation I had to have it!

MAC Trip Palettes

I had also asked Matt to look out for the MAC Trip Palette in Neutral, (this is an airport duty free exclusive) but unfortunately it was sold out. So what did the best husband in the world do?? He bought me 3 others to numb the pain!! w00t!

Trip Warm Lips, Top-Bottom;

• En Pointe Gloss
• Strange Hybrid (F)
• Tempt Me… (L)

Trip 4 Classic Eye & Cheek; L-R

• Sweetness Beauty Powder Blush
• Lightfully (S)
• Idol Eyes (L)
• Print (S)

Trip Cool Eyes L-R;

• Prismique (L)
• Springtime Skipper (VP)
• Waternymph (F)
• Knight Divine (VP)
• Flashtrack (VP)

I’m so pleased that I actually got these instead of the neutral now, out of the 3 palettes the only colour I already had in my collection was Print, so this was an excellent way to broaden my MAC horizons

The packaging is probably one of the nicest I’ve ever seen from MAC, sturdy coated metal, with a lovely push button to open. Totally handbag friendly, these could be literally thrown in and come to no harm.

If you’re lucky enough to get away on a holiday this summer make sure you stop by duty free and take a peek at this collection for yourself.
