My awesome London Haul!

This is way overdue, but here's my London haul. The time to be jealous would be now. ;-)

Real Technique brushes - Nic's Picks are especially cool. I got it thanks to pre-ordering. I didn't see that set in stores once.

Revolution Iconic palettes. I stood ages in front of their display. I could have bought all palettes. 

Iconic 2

Iconic 3

Sleeeeek palettes:

Arabian Nights

Garden of Eden

GOSH New York palette

Beautiful lashes, an incredible long lasting eyeshadow pencil from Collection and an I love Make Up blush.

Last but not least the gorgeous Illamasqua polish from their Once collection.

What do you think? Awesome haul isn't it? I'm really happy with those products. Reviews will follow. :)

Love,

London, oh my dear London!

Many of you know about my love for the UK, hell it even stands in my description box. *gg* So I was more than happy when my husband surprised me with a short trip to London.

We went this weekend and I loved it. I think about making a "What to do" and "Tips for London" post, by now I've been often enough. *gg*

A few things that haven't changed. I still heard more French than English, Asian tourists are everywhere and my beautiful Big Ben is as lovely as ever. I was so happy to see him again, I couldn't stop smiling.

Of course we went through all sorts of shops, but with the exception of The British Museum, we didn't go anywhere touristy. Here some photos, we didn't take that many.

My husband started to drink tea a while back, so we simply had to pay the original and first Twinings store a visit.

Near Big Ben we found this little diner called "herman ze german". It's obviously founded by a German and you can get Currywurst and Brezels there. 

I loved the little place. I didn't get anything, but my husband loved his sausage and I find the idea sooo cute. The whole logo and look of the store and the German products. I almost bought a shirt. lol

I was a bit sad though that nobody there was actually able to speak German. *g* At least not in this shift. 

It was a great, but exhausting wekend, we walked around a LOT. *g* The short visit eased my longing for this country, but there's only one place who can really do that. Scotland!

I can't wait to go there again. I hope I'll see the Highlands soon, Since I started watching Outlander it only got worse. *gg* My plan is to be there next summer again.

I'm gonna show you what I bought there in my next post. :-) A lot of gorgeous stuff. One sneak peek and my favourite item:

What's your favourite part in this world??

Love,

Edinburgh Haul Part 2

How's your day? Hanging around? Kronos definitely is... *gg*

In my next life I wanna be my dog! *gg* Here is the second part of my Edinburgh haul. Some pretty awesome items!

Let's go! I'm gonna start with my absolute favorite. The Anastasia Brow Wiz. I'm absolutely in love, the review will follow soon!!

A mini-size of "They're Real!" by Benefit:

The new Barry M Natural Glow palette:

I also got the Barry M LE polish:

Of course I had to add something to my Real Techniques collection:

Aaaand the item that was hardest to get. I had to look in three countries, three! to find it. 

It never arrived in Vienna, was sold out in Edinburgh and only available the second time I was at the airport in Amsterdam, but hell yeah I got it! *gg*

The one thing I didn't get to my utter disappointment was the UD Naked 3 palette.. Sold out everywhere!

Hope you liked my haul. :) I'm excited to see if all the products are worth their money. 

Love,

London Haul

I was truly proud of my restraint *gg* I only got things I really wanted and I'm completely happy with them. You should have seen my haul when I first went to America.. Shocking!

Two Sleek palettes - "Shangri-Laa" and "Ultra Mattes Brights". 

A back-up of the Real Techniques stippling brush and finally the Real Techniques blush brush I wanted for ages. 

Ilamasqua skin base in 4.5 and two of their gorgeous polishes "Charisma" and "Nomad". 

A Rimmel polish which was free and looks pretty awesome.

The new Aqua Splash Tangle Teezer and a compact one. I looove them!! Gonne review them pretty soon.

It's kind of a tradition to buy a Marks & Spencer bag and this was it, so cute:

Since, I'm gonna review all of these items I'm sure you don't mind the late night crap lighting.

Love,

Guinevere
