Updated MAC Palette

 

I brought my MAC palette not so long ago and as of now I have 7 out of 15 colours. 

I do plan to get more and I also have £15 on my Debenhams card so I will probably buy 2 more pan eye shadows retailing at £9.50 each. 

The shadows I have are...

Retro Speck is a lustre finish it is a pale gold with lots of shimmer in it which as you can see i'm nearly out of! - I used to use this a lot everyday for school all most but now I don't use it that much at all :(

Naked Lunch is a frost finish it is a kinda of peach tone colour with gold shimmer in it is a new one to my collection, I was planning to buy all the glitters but they didn't have that naked lunch is pretty simular so I opted for that one :P

Patina is a satin finish it's hard to describe but its a golden brown colour I LOVE this colour all over the lid with Satin Taupe on the crease it looks beautiful :)

Woodwinked is a veluxe pearl finish it is a kinda of warm antique golden colour with a strong copper undertone this is the first eyeshadow from MAC I brought because it just looked so beautiful, however with my pale skin tone it isn't so good, but I'm saving it for when I have a tan haha.

Shale is a satin finish while it looks purple-ish in the pan it actually comes out as a more grey purple colour it is however a beautiful colour!


Satin Taupe is a satin finish and it's a taupe colour hehe it is so beautiful I love this colour i think that it is defiantly one that everyone should have :)


Smut has a velvet finish to it and again this colour purple-ish in the pan but  actually comes out as a dark brown almost black colour with a purple sheen to it, it looks great with satin taupe in fact id say its satin taupe's darker version :)

I also have a wish list of other colours i'd like to add to my collection these being: 

1.  Vanilla
2. Dazzlelight
3. All that Glitters
4. Mulch 
5. Copperplate 
6. Handwritten
7. Mystery 
8. Idol Eyes 

unfortunately buying all of those will a) cost A LOT and b) i'll have to buy another palette but next time one for colours hehehe

Summer Reads

Summer is officially here - yaaaay! In the summer I like to wind down and relax by reading. Early this year I read Looking for Alaska by John Green and now it is my all time favourite book! I even brought a copy of my own! I have high hope for this book too Paper Towns by John Green, John Green is a great writer for teenagers and he and his brother also have a youtube channel called - vlogbrothers. It's pretty funny.

Anyway, I go to my local library to borrow books, it's free ( as long as you don't bring the books back late) and you can also reserve books if they aren't there like I reserved Paper Towns, although it took the librarian ages to find it because she typed in Paper Towels haha.

This is the first of my summer reads and if it's anything like Looking for Alaska it will be so gripping that I won't be able to put it down!!

I will review this book after I've read it, and I'm always looking for good books so if you have any suggestions for my summer reads please comment below.

So far my summer reading list is as follows:

1. Paper Towns - John Green
2. A Certain Age - Rebbecca Fay
3. The Perks of Being a Wallflower - Stephen Chbosky
4. (Re-read) Looking for Alaska - John Green
5. It's Kind of a Funny Story - Ned Vizzini
