Hello my lovely's! Hope all is well :) So recently I have just finished my exams and as a treat I thought I would treat myself to some new make up that I have been dying to try... and so a hole in my pocket later I have a haul for you! I have been saving money for quite a while now and thought I deserved to have a little splurge so in no way am I trying to boast at what I have bought because it has all come from my own money! Anyway I'll get to it and show you what I have bought! Enjoy :)
MAC eye shadow palette X15: Warm neutral
This was a very unexpected buy for me. Initially I was looking to buy a X15 palette to then fill with gradually as you save an enormous amount of money doing it this way I couldn't not- I still bough a separate empty palette. These retail for £65 here in the UK and are available in "cool neutral" and "warm neutral". I chose to go with the warm colours as I felt they would compliment my olive toned skin nicely. Thi palette contains the colours "Hey, Warm Breeze, Gingernap, Dark Brew, Dance In The Dark, Brule, Vanilla Extract, Honey Lust, Amber Lights, Saddle, Lemon Tart, Creative Copper, Butterfudge, Devine Decadence and Unwind"- all of which look beautiful. I really can't wait until I can use this palette in a tutorial!
Benefit Brow Zings: Medium
Now I am a lover of beautifully groomed eyebrows and so I was looking for a product that would do the job. I've heard a lot of people rave about this duo and wanted to try it out myself. I got the colour medium and I must say so far so good!It retails for £24.50 here which is quite pricey but totally worth the money! The colours are just right for me and stay put all day long. I have only used this a couple of times and am already hugely impressed :)
Benefit Gimme Brow: medium/deep
Next is another eyebrow product that I bought at the airport and am in love with! Now if I'm going out somewhere that doesn't really require me with a full face of makeup or if I am just feeling too lazy to do my eyebrows, this little beauty comes and saves me! It looks super natural when i wear it an literally makes my eyebrows look instantly thicker! I also use it to set my brows in place after I have filled them in and I must say my eyebrow game is pretty strong when wearing this! It's priced at £17.50 however as I got it in duty free it was a little cheaper.
Urban Decay Super-Saturated cream eyeliner: perversion
Okay so hands up if your eyeliner smudges on you throughout the day and makes you look like you haven't slept for year (meeeee) yes we have all experienced the downfall of eyeliner... so in my quest to find an eyeliner that stays put I came across this..it claims to be long wearing and water proof so at the moment as you can see I am trialing it! As I am at up at college and work from 7am till 9 at night I am in need of long eyeliner that stays put. I'm going to do a full review after I have tested this for a couple of weeks to see whether it does the job!
MAC Sheertone Blush: Springsheen
This is another product I picked up from the airport. I have been wanting to get a coral blush to incorporate into a summer coral makeup look and this is just perfect! It's very subtle which I love but also very buildable for others who prefer a stronger look. Just like the gimme brow I got this for cheaper but in store it is £18.
Stila: In The Light palette
This was a pretty impulse buy because I as in boots and for so long I have wanted to get the eyeliner with this and also the eyeshadow colour kitten and so I took a look at the palette and figured it would make so much more sense to get the palette which is a great value for for you get! It was £25 from boots however when I got home I found that the eyeliner wouldn't twizzle up so I think I'm going to go back and try and get it changed but apart from that all the colours are gorgeous and very well pigmented!
MAC lipstick: Plumful
My last airport buy was this lipstick form MAC in the colour "plumful". I was actually looking for a mauve colour however this really caught my eye and I knew I hadn't already had a colour like this before and so I treated myself to it. As always like any other MAC lipstick this goes on super creamy stays put for a good couple of hours which is fine for me. And of course the smell is phenomenal.. yummy!!
Revlon super lustrous: Kiss Me Coral
Finally a drugstore product! Like I said for my blush, I really anted to create a coral/orangey makeup look and when I saw this I knew it would look beautiful! These come about 7 colours all of which are lovely however some more colours would be fab! They retail for £6.99 at boots. Great pigmentation too!
Urban Decay Chill makeup setting spray
Finally my last product and boy is it a good one! Now, like I have already mentioned I am out for most of the day and I need my make up to stay in place so that is where this comes in! Not only does it make me feel really refreshed if i get too hot but I believe it locks in my makeup (especially foundation) for a really long time! I think this was £20 and I also noticed when I as at the checkout that there were mini sizes too which will be super handy for when I'm travelling!
So as you can see I went a little crazy but all so totally worth it...! I'll be doing reviews of some of the products I have mentioned very soon so keep a look out!
Thanks for reading!
Lots of love Sinead x
