It has been a while, Apologies for that :( May has been a crazy month for me. But I have a lot of posts for the future! :)
So, last week I had the pleasure of visiting the Birmingham Selfridges. I do love Selfridges! I wish my bank account would love it more though! :P
Anyway, I picked up a couple of things from there...of course I did...I was supposed to be on a bit of a ban - but they never last too long!
I got two items from Selfridges - A Konjac Sponge with Green Clay and The Parallel Universe Eyeshadow duo from the NARS Christopher Kane collection.
I have only breifly seen the Konjac Sponge on blogger sites and instagram, I don't actually know much about them apart from the fact that they are used for cleansing? So I will need to post a full review on this product when I have tried it out. It was £8.99 and it is for oily/combination skin. According to the website they describe these sponges as this:
"The unique, net-like structure of the Konjac Sponge gently massages the skin to stimulate blood flow & cell turnover, while French Green Clay works to minimise breakouts and alleviate complexion congestion. Your skin will feel beautifully clean without any tightness and gradually become clearer, brighter and less spot-prone. What's more, each sponge is 100% natural, biodegradable and made from a sustainable source so you're saving your skin and the planet!"
There were so many options to choose from but this was the one I kept reaching for. Have any of you guys tried the Konjac Sponges before? What are your thoughts on them?
The eyeshadow duo was a bit of an impulse buy - this collection from NARS has been really hyped and it IS very beautiful. But once I saw this in the flesh I had to have it!
Both colours have a duo-crome undertone to them. The first shade is a pink/beige with pink and blue-ish understnes and the second shade is a violet shade with pink glitter undertones. The colour pay off is AMAZING! I really think they are most lovely and look great on the skin. (Apologies for the swatches - the lighting wasn't too great but they are really pretty.) I do hope I can buy more of the collection - i have my eyes on the copper shadow (forgot the name whoops) The packaging is different from the usual black and white from NARS. For this collection it is the usual matte black with a pink metallic outline. (WHICH I LOVE!) I really am looking forward to using this duo in the future for the summer - I have a couple of weddings coming up so it is perfect for that!
Have you guys tried anything from this Christopher Kane collection?
So this was my mini haul from Selfridges - I kind of wish I could live there...don't you? :P
Take care everyone!
