Birthday Beauty Haul 2016

Birthday Beauty Haul 2016

Shoes Cosmetopia Digest   Saturday, April 16, 2016

It was my birthday yesterday. Despite having made up my mind - and convinced family and friends - to avoid cake this year, the lovely chef at Le Meridien MADE one very quickly once he found out what was going on, and I cut it at 10:30p.m. with complete strangers joining in. Sadly, I only have iPhone photos from the celebrations. Will show you my purple EOTD once I'm energetic enough to resize those photos.

Scroll down to check out the beauty products to which I treated myself this year.

Swatches Cosmetopia Digest   Saturday, November 30, 2013

I received the Burberry Lip Mist Natural Sheer Lipstick sampler palette when I hauled a tonne of makeup through OrderMakeup UK (see here). I love lip samplers; you can swatch them at home and use the shades a few times before you decide whether to buy or not. I had a Dior Addict sampler palette which lasted more than a dozen uses each (swatched and reviewed here).
This Burberry Lip Mist palette comes with four shades, which I have swatched for you below - Copper, Rosy Red, Feather Pink and Blueberry.

When I saw the Angry Birds on flip-flops I couldn't resist getting myself some, despite two of them being one size larger than my size (37 or 4).
The orange pair is with heels, the others are all flat. Cute? Or juvenile?
And this white and purple polka-dotted pair of flip-flops is my current favourite. Incredibly comfy.

It is a rather busy day, so I thought I would share a couple of pictures of some of my favourite pairs of shoes. These are all casuals, though the last pair isn't too comfy for walking. The espadrille wedges above are from H&M.
