Brand Love - Philosophy

So this isn't so much a haul, because I got these products ages ago and they have nearly been used up already, but I just wanted to share with you some of the gorgeous products they do, so here is some of the stuff that I have used:

So skin care wise we have Hope in a Jar moisturiser, Purity cleanser and On a Clear Day cleanser, all of which I can really recommend. I have been using them for about 3 months and my skin has never been clearer and my pores have never been less visible! Hope in a Jar is one of very few facial moisturisers that hasn't broken me out or reacted badly with my skin aswell.
I also got a couple of shower gel sets, the first is the Cookie Exchange set which contains Christmas Cookie (this is currently in my shower and smells soooo good) and Brown Butter Cookie. I also got Under the Big Top set which contains French Vanilla Bean, Pink Cotton Confection and Frosted Animal Cracker. The shower gels are lovely and I love all the different fragrances that are available.
The one thing that I dislike about Philosophy is that the range in the UK isn't that great and its also so much more expensive here then it is in the UK! I imported this stuff from the USA and I think the only things you can get over here are Hope in a Jar and Purity cleanser. 
I can't wait until this lot runs out so I can do another big order!

MAC and Illamsqua haul

So for Christmas by boyfriend got me a Illamasqua gift voucher so I had already decided I was going to go there, but on the same day MAC at Spitalfields called me up because they had my work security card that I had accidently left in there. Well if they was kind enough to hold onto it for me I had to repay the favour by spending some money in the store right! Anyway here is what I got:



Here is everything all nice and shiny in the boxes. Surely I'm not the only one who loves looking at things in their boxes for a while before taking them out?


And here is the products in all their glory! So in the top row we have, MAC Peaches Blush, Illamasqua Dixie Blush, Illamasqua Skin Base Foundation SB06, Illamsqua Cream pigment in Emerge, in the bottom row we have MAC Lipsticks in Hang Up and Chatterbox, and Illamsqua polishes in Jo'Mina, Kink, Purity and Eclipse.


This is a close up of Dixie because my camera didn't really pick up the colour properly in the previous picture. It looks pretty intense but it is gorgeous on.

All I can say is, I am in love with make up again! I also can't recommend Skin Base foundation enough, this is my second bottle as my other bottle is my summer shade. If you decide on it you should definitely go to the Beak Street store, the staff are lovely and will always be very excited to help you out. Eurgh <3 Illamsqua.

I think I've gone wrong already.

This is probably my 3rd or 4th blog, all of the others end up being abondened at some point because of lack of interest, I think it is because I have mainly tried to do beauty or gaming related blogs and kept to that topic just because the blogs I read tend to be mainly about one topic, but you know what, fuck that I'm passionate about many topics, and if people don't want to read about the ones I am, then they don't have to read it.
     I feel like the name of the blog is terribly important, its like judging a book by its cover, you don't know whats inside, it could be a master piece, but if it doesn't catch your eye you won't know. Lets hope I don't make any more mistakes. Clearly I already have because this post is all back to front, lets move onto how this should've started.
     Hi guys my name is Kelsey, I am 21 years old and live, work and play in East London. This blog is titled UnicornGamer Obsessive because my youtube name is TheUnicornGamer (where I talk about games) and it is going to be about all the things that I am obsessive about. I am very passionate about a number of things, video games being a obvious one, but I also love make up, anything skin care related, nails, you know general girly stuff. Pretty obsessed with nail art at the moment too. And books, how can I forget books! And gadgets, and food, and well, lots of other stuff really so if you like any of those things you should totes follow.
     I will also take lots of shit photos and not apologise for it, I will also swear lots and not apologise for it and I will also say things like totes and bff and be deadly serious so if any of them offend you I would stop reading now.
    Happy blogging!!!
