Went out with my friend for a drink and catch up and ended up buying a bunch of makeup goodies.
My intention was to go to Harvey Nichols and get a free MAC lipstick with my Back To MAC empty containers.
I ended up leaving Harvey Nichols with a MAC lipstick, highlighter brush and the Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Powder. We then decided to go to boots to look at the Smashbox primers. I already had a deluxe primer so decided to wait before getting a new one and ended up getting the Christmas edition 5 Smashbox lip glosses. Then venture over to Bare Minerals and how can anyone resist the Christmas special Bare Minerals Original Deluxe Mineral Veil Powder. After saying goodbye to my friend and having to wait to get picked up I thought, why not go to Urban Decay to see what they had. I walked out with a Naked Concealer and the all nighter Setting Spray.
I have also added a few others bits that i picked up along the way from Boots and Superdrug over the past couple of weeks. My reviews on these will be quite short as i am focusing more on the high end haul at the beginning.
So after purchasing all of this, I am pretty much poor for the rest of the month.
So I decided to go out of my comfort zone and go for a very out there, dark colour. When this colour was first released I was desperate to try it.
It's a dark shimmery Blue colour which is absolutely gorgeous. And rather daring to wear.
I am also happy to say that this is number 21 in my MAC lipstick collection!
Wow!! No wonder everyone raves about this powder! It's amazing! It gives the most lovely finish to your makeup. I have never been one to use loose powder but I have decided to give it a go and I am loving it.
How can anytime walk past this and not purchase it. The packaging is so incredibly pretty and the pot is HUGE! I have a feeling this will last me a very very long time!
The lid is gold with a beautiful pattern and it is a glass tub. The packaging also comes with a little key as it looks like a trinket.
This powder leaves such a smooth and finish. Although it is lot translucent it still lightened your makeup slightly and sits beautifully on the skin.
I have heard so many amazing reviews about this concealer and that the coverage is incredible so I decided to try it. It's brilliant. So good that I have been using concealer with no foundation as the coverage is so good.
I have tried a couple of setting sprays now and have yet to find one I love, until I got this one. It actually works! I only got the travel size to try out but will definitely be getting the full size one! It sets your makeup perfectly and you hardly have to powder throughout the day.
Found this gift set that I could not resist. These lip glosses are smaller than the full size but not quite the size of the samples in the starter kits. 5 lovely colours.
Loreal Infallible 24 Hour Matte Foundation
I really wish I had purchased this foundation sooner, it's a great foundation if you like a matte finish. I tend to use it mainly for work. It gives you a pretty much flawless finish once applied and looks lovely.
Loreal Mattifying Base Primer
Great primer to go along with the infallible foundation, gives a lovely smooth base for the foundation to apply and helps to cover up my pores.
Rimmel Match Perfection 2-in-1 Concealer and Highlighter
Wow! The coverage from this concealer is mad! It is quite quick though and a little bit goes a long way!
Loreal Lumi Magique Touch of Light Highlighting Pen
This product is good for highlighting using concealer but I wouldn't say it is anything special. There are definitely other concealers out there that are much better.
MaxFactor Colour Elixir Lip Liner
These lip liners are so creamy and apply brilliantly. The colours are also lovely and I want more of these definitely!
GOSH Velvet Touch Lip Liner in Nougat Crisp
Lovely nude colour that I picked up. Creamy and pigmented.
