Birmingham Diaries | Cocktail Cosmetics

My latest internship was in the Custard Factory, Birmingham. There's the cutest little shop there that sells makeup that is otherwise difficult to find in Birmingham! I love the atmosphere of the Custard Factory, and it really is the perfect place for this shop!

Sigma, OCC, Sugar Pill, NYX, Lime Crime (no longer being sold as Lime Crime is no longer allowing third party sales), EOS, & Neve. These brands are pretty hard to get hold of in England, specially NYX. And of course they sell things you can get in other shops such as Sleek, Real technique Brushes, & DUO eyelash glue 

 How cute are these baskets! 

 Obligatory mirror shot.

 

They even have gear to take off the makeup that you went crazy applying to the back of your hand! 

 Tissues, wet wipes, cotton buds and makeup remover. These guys thought of it all. 

Even your storage is sorted here. Decently priced acrylic storage that you no longer have to buy from eBay. 

The owner is lovely, and so friendly and the staff knowledgeable. You get love hearts (sweets) in every bag! Also, they do loyalty cards. Score. The prices are also the same as you would pay online, minus the delivery and waiting. 

If you're in Birmingham, they are well worth popping over into the Custard Factory for (a 3 minute ride on a bus-bus number and a 10 minutes walk), or alternatively you can order online for delivery. 

Have a great day :)
