American Sweets Haul!

Hey there!

So, this afternoon, I recieved a very nice surprise when I came home from University. I came to find my package, containing candy and other groceries from America.

Now, I've only been to America once and when I was there, I was staying with family who are African, so I never really had a chance to taste "proper" American food, so I came across the website www.americansweets.co.uk , a British based company who import drinks, food, candy and other groceries from the US. They also have a store in the North of England I believe. 

I ordered a few items and it all came to under £15 which is excellent, especially for imports. The postage is £5 which is reasonable, and it arrived in exactly 4 days, which I think is pretty decent!

The items I purchased. I've already tried the the Butterfinger and it was absolutely HORRIBLE! It's so SWEET!!!!!! Even by MY standards, and I have an incredible sweetooth. 

I cannot wait to try the Lucky Charms! I heard they were quite good.

Has anybody else ordered off americansweets.co.uk ?

PurpleRain...PurpleRaiiin (Or something Like that...)

Yeah so...

I couldn't think of a witty title for this post so I settled for the Prince classic!

Anyhoo, so today I thought i'd go on a bit of a purple slurge, seeing as I have no purple eyeshadow products whatsoever, so here are my finds:

Sleek's Kajal Eyeliner which came out a few months ago. The colour is AMAZING and extremely rich.

My only worry is, once you get halfway through the product, would there be a way to sharpern it for a more precise tip, without damaging the rest of the product?

The colour has pale blue undertones which I love. I think "cool" purples suit darker skintones, so I shall be using this product throughout the summer!

Next up:

'Famous' by Sue Moxley. I discovered this range only today in Superdrug, and the makeup range is really good! I was really surprised at how great the quality is! Swatches coming up:

As soon as i remember the prices and shades, i'll write it up!

New Banner!

J.Lo in Zuhair Murad.

Melissa George in J.Mendal.

The Bad:

Chanel Iman in Michael Kors. (Don't get me wrong. I like the look, but i'm so tired of Harems!)

And the Downright UGLY.

Kristen Stewart in Chanel Haute Couture 2008 Collection.

Thisis one of the most disgusting dresses i've ever seen in my life. And it looks terrible on her. TERRIBLE.

What do you guys think?

5th of May...
