High-End Haul

Hey lovelies,

A while back I ended up buying a hell of a lot of high end makeup {Disclaimer: I didn't purchase it all at once, I'm no-where near rich enough for that}. I noticed that at the moment my blog is quite full of skincare so I thought I'd mix it up. Quite a few of these will be having a review coming up soon, so keep a look out. I purchased my products from Space NK and Sephora.



Space NK:


  1. Nars Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturiser, in the Shade 'Light 1 - Finland'. I purchased this as I only have one other tinted moisturiser, which although is my all time favourite (the laura mercier one), it's sadly the wrong shade for me at the moment and the Nar's one is cheaper so I was hoping this would do the trick. 
  2. Nars Contour Blush in the shade 'Olympia'. I've finally got into contouring and this small palette seems the perfect product to up my skills with both a matte bronzer and highlighter!
  3. Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette. I've got to admit upon opening the box this was smaller than expected but due to all the hype surrounding this I've been dying to try it and since it's back in stock I couldn't resist. 

Sephora:

  1. Pro Precision Powder Brush #59. I've been dying to purchase a more precise powder brush to use in the eye area and for powder based highlighter products, and this had fairly decent ratings.
  2. Laura Mercier High Coverage Concealer for Under Eye, in Shade '2'. I had this used on me recently at a Space NK event and wow is this high coverage. I'm hoping to use this to cover up my awful, genetically inherited dark circles as my current concealer sadly creases by midday. 
  3. BeautyBlender Pro. I bought this due to the fact my much loved cosmo beauty sponge has pretty much fallen to pieces due to the excessive use of it being that good! So, I decided to splurge on the original sponge and see if there's much of a difference {A review/comparison post shall be up soon}.
  4. Too Faced Natural Eye Neutral Eye Shadow Collection. Another neutral eye shadow palette you scream, yes I agree I'm obsessed. But, how can you deny something as beautiful as this?! 
  5. Kat Von D Tattoo Eyeliner, in the Shade 'Trooper'. I purchased this last year when I went to America and ever since this has been my favourite eye liner! It is truly amazing, pigmented, long lasting and super easy to use. As it's nearly ran out I thought to stock up on it to prevent the day where I go to use it and end up going into a mental breakdown due to it having completely ran out, sad I know.
  6. Smoothing Translucent Setting Powder. My previous pressed powder has finally come to an end and I finally decided to try out some loose, translucent powder being as I've never tried it before - a first impressions post will definitely be coming up!

Winter Beauty Favourites 1/2

Hey lovelies!
Sorry there wasn't a post last week but I've been writing this massive post and thought instead of posting a small, pointless post last week, I could just wait until now and post this! My second part of this post will be posted next week!

Here is a post I've created containing my favourite beauty products that I always wear during winter, although I'm not saying they're specific for winter, you can wear them anytime you like! I won't be going into extreme detail on each product as some of them I'm doing reviews for later on.

Base

First is base and for my base during winter I normally go for tinted moisturisers, purely because they give a a lovely coverage that's still natural and it hydrates my skin which is definitely needed during the harsh weather that comes with winter. My two favourite tinted moisturisers are the Laura Mercier 'Tinted Moisturiser' which has SPF 20 and is oil free, brilliant for oily skin. This can be purchased here for £33, I'm in shade 'Nude' but it is a bit dark for me at the moment. My other favourite is the Jouer 'Matte Moisture Tint' which is also oil free and has an SPF of 15. I feel this does give more coverage than the Laura Mercier one. You can purchase this here for £30 and I'm in shade 'Porcelain' which is the perfect match for me at the moment. Sorry they look a bit dirty but least it proves I use them!

Cheeks

Secondly, is cheeks which I definitely pay more attention to during the winter months! I'm a massive fan of giving warmth back into the face so I prefer berry tones. But, most of my blushes are quite natural as I find too much colour just makes you look silly. My first favourite which is a recent purchases is Benefit's cheek and lip tint in 'Benetint', which can be purchased here for £24.50. I love this because it can be used on both your cheeks and lips and it looks extremely natural because it's a tint. Next is Sleek's shimmer blush in 'Pomegranate' which can be purchased here for £4.49. This was a recent purchase and is most definitely one of the strongest in colour blushes I have, but it's so lovely. Thirdly, is Rimmel's 'Pink Rose' blush which I've had for years but I believe you can purchase here for £3.99. This is my all-time favourite blush purely because it looks extremely natural but still gives you a warm, healthy, berry-toned glow! My final winter favourite blush is NYC's Colour Wheel in 'Pink Cheek Glow' which can be purchased here for £3.99. Now this may look a bit crazy with the brown and all the different pinks, but it appears on the face so gorgeous and does give you a glow! I would say it gives you a similar colour to the Rimmel blush. 

Thank you for reading lovelies!
