#Mac Powder Puff

#Mac Eye brow pencil in Spiked

#Mac Pro Colour 4 x Compact

#Mac eyeshadows in Embark and Swiss Chocolate

#Real Techniques brushes- since I discovered these brushes I haven't looked back. They are great 

#Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pur Couture The Mats #208 

#Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Eau De Parfum , a repurchase! I love this perfume, it's beautiful and makes me feel classy and fabulous!

#Clarins Daily energizer cream- my morning face cream, leaves my face moisturised, smooth and glowy without being oily

#Yves Saint Laurent Forever light creator - this was an impulse buy but it's the perfect toner! I use it after cleansing , before serum and moisturiser.

#Lancome Mousse Eclat Cleanser- great cleanser for oily/combination skin. I tend to use this as my evening cleanser. It helps in removing dirt and oil as well as makeup. It's very gentle and yet effective, been using it for more than 2years

#Mac Lady Danger lipstick - a bright red/orange shade. I have had this shade on my wishlist for quite some time.  It is quite similar to my beloved Mac So Chaud but Lady Danger is just a tad more red. Will do a swatch comparison soon. 

#Urban Decay De Slick Makeup setting spray - this is a good setting spray if you have oily or combination skin. 

#Urban Decay eyeshadow primer potion Original - this is another repurchase , my to go eyeshadow base, my eyeshadow stays in place all day when I use this primer

#Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupte lipstick in shade #3   -You all know how I love Ysl products especially their lipsticks so I had to pick an everyday shade. Shade #3 is the perfect nude/beige for me and I'm sure it will suit many skintones too

#Yves Saint Laurent Baby Doll Mascara set - I love the mascara. Gives my lashes length and volume making me look like I have falsies. The eye cream and eye makeup are really great too have used them in the past as full sizes.

MAKEUP PURCHASES!

Hello Lovelies!





How have y'all been? Its been a while/months? since I last bought new makeup products I went browsing but being a makeup lover it never ends there does it?I picked up a few things that I had on my wishlist. My mission for this year is to try new products from various brands I havent tried before!

Chanel Rouge Coco Shine Hydrating Sheer Lipshine  #62 Monte Carlo

I  admit I love lipsticks and have wanted one of these for almost a year and I finally gave in.The shade Monte Carlo is a pretty pink red shade 

As melt-away as a balm, its lip-embracing texture becomes fluid on contact with the lips and provides a stunning gloss effect with natural shine. Deliciously fresh and soft, it delivers an unforgettable sensation of well-being.Lips are enveloped in the incomparable comfort of continuous 8-hour-long hydration thanks to the Hydratender complex, the secret behind the softness of the ROUGE COCO range.Sparkling with vitality, your smile takes on a new sheer colour, from nude beige to tangy red.ROUGE COCO SHINE is available in 18 shades infused with luminosity allowing your smile adapts to portray emotion and desire of each day. From her first successes to magical encounters, the shade names tell the story of Coco Chanel at the dawn of her destiny"

Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation SPF15 in shade Warm Almond 6.5

A truly modern foundation that offers invisible, weightless coverage that looks like skin, not makeup. This long-wearing formula evens tone, minimises the appearance of pores, conceals imperfections, and offers broad spectrum UV protection. Its hydrating technology leaves skin feeling cushioned, comfortable, and clean. Ideal for combination, normal and normal to dry skins.

- Basically I wanted a new lightweight foundation  for Spring /summer months so whilst in Selfridges I had a lengthy chat and makeover with a lovely MUA at Bobbi brown counter .She recommended the skin foundation  after cleansing my skin but I wasnt convinced so we tested  the Longlasting even finish, Luminous one and lastly the Skin foundation. She explained to me that I had good skin and didnt need full coverage foundation and I couldnt agree more because I dislike heavy foundations I like light to medium foundations that show my birth/beauty marks and allows skin to breathe. In the end I was happy with the Skin foundation and I purchased it 

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion in Sin

This is it - THE most legendary primer in the beauty industry. Eyeshadow Primer Potion is coveted by makeup artists and makeup junkies alike because it guarantees more vibrant eyeshadow that lasts all day and NEVER CREASES! Once you experience its powers (plus how smoothly it glides on - an added bonus) you'll never want to live without it. This magic potion comes in an easy-to-squeeze tube with a needle nose tip so you can control how much you apply. You also now get more primer in every tube - 11 ml instead of the original 10!

This is a repurchase I have been using this for just over 3years which reminds me I have to do a review on it. I love the Sin primer potion because of the champagne colour,it can be used as an eyeshadow primer or as an eyeshadow itself. My eyeshadow stays put with the Urban Decay primer potion.  I have the one with the old packaging which is super annoying but am pleased that it now comes in a squeeze tube packaging.

Estee Lauder Pure Color High Gloss in #07 Flash Dance

Magnify. Intensify. Electrify. See how brilliant your lips can be. Drenches lips with the ultimate in sheer, intensely hydrating colour and shine. Exclusive True Vision™ Technology creates an irresistibly dazzling high-reflective finish that lasts and lasts. Rich, feel-good conditioners smooth and protect. The slanted applicator tip follows every curve of your lips for a sheer, lush, super shine. Enriched with skin conditioning ingredients and antioxidants, Vitamin E and Vitamin C. Now Im not usually a gloss type of person but lately I have found myself rushing in the morning after putting alarm on snooze *damn the cold winter mornings* and have no time to apply my intense lipsticks properly I have found myself reaching for the NYX  megashine lipglosses so I thought I would add another gloss to my collection as I havent had a chance to sit on ebay to order nyx ones from the States, This one from Estee Lauder smells yummy and I love that its not sticky and doesnt leave you with white gunk  ahem*mac lipglass am looking at u*! By the way the shade Flashdance is a hot fuschia pink looks like NYX megashine in dollypink which I really love

I also picked up a few sampless of other things I would love to try

Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face base 7ml sample

Rich in feel, but never greasy, this advanced oil-free, face moisturiser, with Shea Butter helps minimise the look of fine lines and wrinkles. With daily use, skin looks and feels its best. Bobbi recommends this moisturiser to prepare skin for the smoothest makeup application. Dermatologist-tested.

I have heard good things about this stuff and it has already been added to my never ending wishlist. Moisturiser and Primer in one yes please!
