Liverpool is great for make up shopping, not only does it have a MAC and Illamasqua shop but it has a Harvey Nichols Beauty Bazaar which as well as selling beauty products, also offers manicures at the champagne nail bar, facials, hairdressing, they also have pamper packages which would make such a nice present or day out with friends before an evening out.

 From Beauty Bazaar I bought 3 Butter London nail varnishes in the colours 'Bit Faker' 'Chancer' and 'Knees Up' All very christmasy, but I think 'Bit Faker' will be really nice for autumn.

 Again From Beauty Bazaar I got 2 OPI nail varnishes in the colours 'Malaga Wine' and 'Haven't the Foggiest'. I love 'Haven't the foggiest' the name is so cute and the colour is an amazing metallic  gunmetal, which I think is a great colour for the cold winter months.

The next thing I got was from the MAC store and it is a paint pot in the colour 'Constructivist'. I have lately rediscovered my 'Bare Study' paint pot and have been using it every day, I have also found that I don't need a primer with it as it seems to act as a primer on me. So it has been really easy to use as a base colour and a primer in one. So I decided to get 'Consructivist' as a darker alternative that I could wear on a night out. I think this will be a nice dark base for a smokey eye.

 Then back in Beauty Bazaar Lex treated me to some lovely NARS products, I got the NARS Illuminator in 'Copacobana' which is a beautiful cream highlight but can also look amazing dabbing a tiny bit in the centre of your lip to make your lips look fuller and really stand out. I also got the Eurydice eyeshadow duo which is incredible. The colours are quite dark and gothy which I love. The purple has flecks of blue shimmer running through it creating an amazing duochrome effect. The second colour is a shimmery slate grey/moss green which is also beautiful and I think will be great for a smokey eye. The pigmentation in both colours are excellent so I may have to invest in some more NARS eyeshadows in the future.

My final purchase was this cream jumper. I got this for winter with the intention to take it to New York for some extra layers, it is really comfy and is nice and long to cover your bum! I love the style and the shape of this one but there were loads more cuts and colours to choose from in H&M so it is definitely worth checking out if you are after some warm winter jumpers.
