Beauty Haulin'

WARNING: This post is a beefy one.

Recently I've been doing quite a lot of shopping, which is great for my blog, but not so great for my purse. Whenever I do this, I quite like to tell you guys about it because a problem shared is a problem halved. Right?

How cute is this notebook that was in my stocking?!

Over the past month I have acquired two Mac Lipsticks, that pushes my collection up to the grand total of 3! Plumful was an impulse buy, but probably one of the best impulse buys ever purchased. It is the perfect lipstick for me and has been welcomed warmly into my makeup bag. The Next lipstick was a -better late than never- Christmas present from my best friend. She knew I wanted Rebel and was the fairy godmother that made my wish come true (too far?)

(L-R) Bourjois healthy mix serum 52 Vanille, Mac lipstick Plumful, Mac lipstick Rebel, Bourjois Rouge edition velvelt Nude-ist.

In boots I picked up The Real Techniques Eye Starter set. This has seriously, seriously amped up my eyeshadow game. #Hellastrong. The only brush I do not use is the eyeliner brush because I do not use Gel eyeliner, but I'm sure I can get some use out of it in the future. The brushes are uber soft and will really help you out if you are an eye makeup newbie. I also picked up some Eyelure lengthening false eyelashes because I thought they would give me a fluttery eye. I will let you know how I get on!

From Bourjois, (Buy one get one half price, thank you very much.) I had really been wanting to trying the healthy mix serum for ages, I picked up the shade 52 Vanille which is a good mach for my skin. I have only used it once or twice but I really like the formula. It is fairly long lasting and does not stick to my dry patches, which almost every other foundation I have tried does. So far so Good! For half price, I picked up the Rouge edition Velvet in Nude-ist (Thank you for the recommendation Yana) I have fairly pigmented lips, so I have a bit of a mare finding nudes that don't wash me out completely. This shade is perfect for me, and I love the formula to pieces. Big thumbs up from me!

In superdrug I bought this 32 piece eyeshadow palette from Revolution. The shades are warm and all really really wearable, ranging from light pink shimmers to deep bronze and cranberry shades. They blend well and the pigmentation is gorgeous!

Phew, that is probably the most makeup I've ever bought in such a short space of time. Maybe I should stay away from the makeup aisles for a while.
