Hey everyone, sorry for not posting as often as I should. My exams are coming up and I've been studying hard (or not, as this post will show!). After they're over I'll try and blog more!<br />
<br />
Anyway, onto the haul! The first lot of things I bought a few weeks ago in Reading and the second lot I bought today (taking full advantage of Superdrug's 3 for 2 offer!).<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I went a bit blush crazy on this shopping trip so I think I'll be set for a while in that department. I love the Convertible Colours, they're gorgeous! Total cream blush convert. I'm also really enjoying Lemony Flutter; I use it throughout the day on my cuticles and every night as a nourishing hand treatment. It works wonders!<br />
<br />
Up next are a few bits from Boots but most of the things were bought in the <a href="http://www.superdrug.com/3-for-2/3-for-2-on-all-cosmetics/icat/2013e6_cosmetics" target="_blank">Superdrug 3 for 2 sale</a>.<br />

<br />
I bought the lashes for prom as I couldn't find my favourite Ardell Demi-Wispies in Superdrug and these looked similar. I went on a bit of a nail polish rampage, I couldn't help myself! I think I own most of the Barry M Gellies now. The Mega Plush mascara always intrigued me as it claims to maintain soft lashes due to its gel-mousse formula. Can't wait to try it out! I bought the hair dye as I haven't dyed my hair in a while and my previous purple-red colour is fading.<br />
<br />
Phew! I'm going to lay off the shopping for a while as I think I've done enough in the past few weeks (I'm also waiting on 4 parcels.. oops!).<br />
<br />
Thanks for reading!<br />

Hi everyone! One of my favourite highstreet/drugstore makeup items has to be the Maybelline Colour Tattoo 24HR Cream Gel Shadows. As I'm sure you've heard by now, they're great affordable dupes for MAC Paint Pots. What I must add about these shadows is that they are more creamy than Paint Pots and do not dry to a powder finish like the MAC version. They stay on all day and can be used as an eyeshadow or a base. What's not to love?<br />
<br />
Today, I thought I'd share the Color Tattoos I currently own. Read more after the jump!<br />

So, the first Color Tattoo I have to share with you is Permanent Taupe. One of my favourites, this is the only shade available in the UK with a completely matte finish. It is a brownish grey shade that will look great with any eye colour. This is the perfect colour to complement winged liner!<br />

The next Color Tattoo I own is Bold Gold. I asked for this in a swap with a lovely girl I met on Makeup Geek. This shade is a metallic brownish gold shade, the perfect neutral gold! I like to wear this with On and On Bronze, which I will show you later.<br />

This shade is Barely Branded from the Metals collection launched in the US. I also asked for this one in the swap. This shade is a frosty champagne colour and my favourite out of the ones I own. It seems creamier than the other shades (not to say they're not creamy!) but I'm not sure if that's just me. It's so versatile; it can be an all over wash of colour or a base for pretty much any eyeshadow look. It can also be used as a inner corner and brow bone highlight. A face highlight if your skin is light enough! I wish Maybelline brought out neutral colours like this over here.<br />

I love this colour! I believe this is the same as Inked in Pink from the Metals collection over in the US. This is a metallic, almost frosty, baby pink shade. Gorgeous as an all over wash of colour or paired with Barely Branded. This shade is especially silky!<br />

This is one of the first shades I bought (along with Permanent Taupe and Pink Gold). This colour is a brownish bronze shade that is sure to suit any eye colour. Such a gorgeous neutral! Also, a perfect base for any bronze/brown eyeshadow looks!<br />

Now, onto the bright ones! A pure, yellow-based gold. This is the same as Gold Rush from the US Metals collection. This colour is so super pigmented and sparkly, it looks like real gold! I use this to jazz up a boring cat eye.<br />

This is a UK only shade I believe. It's a gorgeous blue/lilac duochrome. This colour is so bright, perfect for spring and summer! I used this with a dark blue shadow <a href="http://distilleryimage10.s3.amazonaws.com/1716fdc4790d11e28a2c22000a9f15d9_7.jpg" target="_blank">here</a>.

This the newest shade to be added to my collection. I love the brightness of this shade, it has phenomenal pigmentation! I haven't had a chance to play with it yet but I imagine I'll use it above black winged liner and in my waterline.<br />

I received this beautiful colour in a swap with <a href="http://blissno9.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Joyce</a>! This is a US only shade, but the <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Maybelline-Expression-Color-Tattoo-24hr-Eyeshadow_1253778/" target="_blank">Boots website lists</a> <i>'Metallic Pomegranate' </i>and <i>'Everlasting Navy'</i>. So maybe we're getting this and the <a href="http://www.maybelline.com/~/media/Images/MNY/en_US/Home/Products/Eyes-Makeup/Eye-Shadow/Eye-Studio-Color-Tattoo-Metal/Shade-Images/color-tattoo_electric-blue_pack-shot.png" target="_blank">gorgeous navy blue</a> shade from the US Metals collection? Who knows. Anyway, this shade is a metallic deep burgundy shade. Perfect for autumn and winter and a great liner colour. </div>

Welcome to my new blog: Blushing Fair. My name is Amy and I love all things beauty! I hope you enjoy this blog.<br />
<br />
Now, onto the haul!<br />
<br />
As my exams are coming up very soon, I thought I'd treat myself to a little pre-stress shopping before all the revision starts. I saw that Boots had a 3 for 2 mix and match offer on pretty much all makeup and tools so I thought it'd be rude not to. Here's what I bought!<br />

I'm extremely happy with everything I bought and I can't wait to try it all! I'm currently wearing the Color Show polish mattified on my nails but I'm especially excited to try the brushes and Color Tattoo.</div>
