Highend Beauty Haul!

I has been saving up all of my pennies for a while now so I could have a huge high end makeup spree! It was also my birthday a couple of weeks ago so it was a nice treat to buy myself some new beauties!

I first put into my basket the Bobbi Brown Bronze Shimmer Brick, I have seen nothing but good reviews on this product and its one of Bobbi Brown's best selling products so it has been one I have wanted for ages! Highlighter is my obsession and I love a full on dewy look, also I felt like with this one you could also use the darker shades as a blush/bronzer and also on the eyes!

I am a dry skin girl so cream products always appeal to me; cream bronzers are very rare and I believe Chanel was one of the first to come out with one. The Chanel Soleil Tan De Chanel is very hyped product and it is a very luxurious product too, it is definitely one to purchase a treat as it is very pricey for what it is. It comes in one universal shade which I don't think would work for darker skin tones but would be good for light/medium skin tones. I am super excited to try this and I will definitely report back to you what I think of it!

The Urban Decay naked palettes are very, very popular and it is a cult beauty product that everyone loves but surprisingly I have never tried any of the palettes so I thought I would first try their basics palette because it is full of neutral colours that I love! The Urban Decay Naked Basics 2 Palette is the one I picked up and this is more of a cool toned palette which I don't normally go for but I really wanted to give it a try! 

Another Urban Decay product I put into my basket was the Naked Skin Concealer, this is a fairly knew product from Urban Decay and they claim it to be weightless, light defusing and complete coverage which is very appealing to me and I'm super excited to try it!

I was super excited when Makeup Forever launched in Debenhams because before, it was very hard to get hold of in UK. I definitely took advantage and purchased the Hydrating Primer, as soon as this range of primers came out all the beauty bloggers went crazy for them so it was at the top of my list of products I wanted to try out and I thought the hydrating one was best suited for me so I picked that one up!

Lastly, I purchased the Mac Lip Pencil in Subculture. I have been on the hunt for a nice nude lip pencil that would pair with many different lipsticks and I had seen swatches of this shade online so I decided to go for this pencil because I really liked the shade of it!

All of these products that I bought were all a treat to myself for my birthday, it doesn't happen often so it is very exciting because I love makeup and it's my passion!

Flirty Pinks - Makeup Menu #3

I am back with another makeup menu for you and today I am going for a girly, pretty pink theme with my makeup!

For the base as usual it is the Bourjois Happy Light Foundation, I am going for light dewy skin with this look because I feel like that suits pink tones very well! Also for concealer, its the classic Maybelline Fit Me Concealer because it is just the bomb. A natural pink flush on the cheeks would look gorgeous for this look so I opted for the NYX Blush in Mocha and this is a beautiful matte blush so to add some glow to the skin with a pinky, champagne coloured highlight I went for the Benefit High Beam highlighter on the tops off the cheekbones and down the centre of the face.

Moving on, onto the eyes, I am going for the MUA Undressed Pallet because this does have a few beautiful shadows in there with slight pink undertones so I thought this would be perfect! You could really play around with the shades and create your own flirty look! You can use any mascara you want and you can go for wispy false lashes too because that would look beautiful with this look, the mascara that I picked out is the L'Oreal Telescopic False Lash Mascara.

Either a nude or a light pink lip would go amazingly with the whole look but I of course went with a light, bright pink glossy lip and that is the Tanya Burr Lipgloss in First Date. I love the formula of these glosses and I have a review on them I did ages ago but I will link it here.

I also added a little pink nail polish that is absolutely gorgeous and it is the Barry M Nail Paint in Strawberry Ice Cream, this is a beautiful light pink shade and it will compliment the makeup really well too!

So that is how to achieve a flirty, girly, pink makeup look!
