Collection 2000 Poptastic, Victoria Jackson and Yo! Sushi

So, the Poptastic palette followup I promised - yeah, it's actually pretty good! I have oily lids so it's hard to get eyeshadow to stick without a primer, but this stuff doesn't crease or fade unevenly, and still looks good after several hours. Says on the box it lasts up to 8 hours which is a lie, but it comes close enough. I like it a lot :)

So yesterday I got my hands on (read: Matthew bought me) some Victoria Jackson cosmetics. Allegedly I got stuff worth £210 for £30. I'd never heard of the stuff before so I looked it up online and found the website that is indeed offering the stuff I got at ridiculously high prices. There were also a lot of people shouting scam from the rooftops, and a lot of people on the fence. I don't think it's a scam, per se - they're probably just worth nowhere near £200.

I got a "survival kit" which has ten eyeshadows, five lip colours, a mascara, an eyeliner, a lip liner, two blushes and a set of mini brushes all in a little container. Also a colour collection in "peach" - two larger blushes, five larger neutral eye colours, and five lip colours which are actually quite good. I wore a brown eye shadow today and it's nice - feels smooth and silky and has lasted since ~10AM, so six hours so far. The lip colours are good too, I hate lipgloss and balm so I didn't think I'd like these, but they're more like lipstick. Not much staying power though. The blushes are far too bright for me.

I also got a bronze shimmer powder brush which I won't use... I get glitter on my face anyway from my eyeshadows, I don't need more!

The best part, mind you, is the brushes. I got one of each - powder, foundation, eyeshadow, eyeliner, lip liner, and eyebrow - and they're lovely. The foundation brush especially is amazingly soft and feels great. I've been needing a new soft eyeshadow brush and this one is just lovely. They're apparently made from all-natural fibres and will last forever so I'm pretty chuffed. Thankyou so much Matthew!

Yo! Sushi trip report: yummers.

I had five slices of tuna sashimi, two salmon skin rolls, two mini salmon rolls, two mini smoked salmon and wasabi rolls, two mini tuna rolls, some miso soup and for dessert some daifuku. Despite hating fish Matthew found stuff he liked - mostly chickeny stuff including some amazing teriyaki chicken that I wanted for myself. He had a chocolate mousse thing for dessert which was yum. It was a really awesome meal, I love sushi and can't get it very often so it's lovely to have a place like that so close. :)
