I've had rather a few spending sprees recently and so I thought I would give you a glimpse into a few of the things I have bought recently, rather than doing a complete haul of everything.
Enjoy!
I'd seen the Sleek Contour Kits in store and mentioned by people on videos, but then I saw the Face Form Kit in store last week and decided to buy it, with the added bonus that it also includes a blush (very similar to NARS Orgasm) as well as the contour powder and highlighter. I love kits like this that have everything in them. And its super compact - great for travelling - and has a huge mirror.
I think I have found the best mascara EVER - yes, better than Maybelline The Falsies. Also by Maybelline, it is their The Rocket Volume Express mascara. The wand reminds me of the one of Max Factor's False Lash Effect Mascara, however I think it is actually a lot better than that. I have very short lashes so I always want a mascara that gives a lot of volume and length, and this is definitely it!
Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine Nail Paints in Watermelon (left) and Lychee (right)
FINALLY I bought one of the Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine Nail Paints - well, two in fact! I bought 'Watermelon' which is a dark green (think the darker green on a watermelon skin) and 'Lychee' , a creamy nude. I expected the formula to feel thicker, however one coat looks like two coats of a normal polish. Two coats is supposed to feel like professional gel nails (however I can't commented as I've never had proper gel nails).
Is it just me or does this look very similar to a cult favourite product *cough*YSL Touche Eclat*cough*? Did I make that anymore obvious? Yes, this is a perfect dupe for YSL's Touche Eclat and is the L'Oreal Lumi Magique highlighting pen. This is a repurchase as I loved it when I first had it. I use it in the same way you would use the Touché Éclat, so on the tops on the cheekbones, bridge of the nose, brow bone and Cupid's bow. I love it!
Illamasqua kindly have an AMAZING sale on at the moment and so I bought their Cream Foundation as it was reduced from £23 to £10, so I thought I would try it out. I'm not too sure what I think of it yet, but it hasn't broken me out thankfully! I'm going to try it out a bit longer and then do a review for you maybe?
I took advantage again of the Illamasqua sale, purchasing their Under Eye Concealer. I quite like this, it feels very similar to the Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer (but a little less creamy, but still creamy enough for under the eyes).
I bought the Rimmel BB Cream at the end of June and I love it! I never joined the BB cream hype last year as I wasn't keen on wearing something with such a low coverage. However I was recommended this one by my friend Kirsten who spoke very highly of it and recommended I buy it. It gives a really nice flawless coverage.
Would you like me to review any of these products? Let me know in the comments if you do and which ones!
