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!

5 Steps To The Perfect Pout

**For a quick announcement, read till the end** 

I'm sure we all want to have that perfect pout that everyone seems to have recently, so I'm going to show you how you can achieve that in 5 quick steps!

Step 1: Line your lips with a pinky-nude lip liner (Rimmel Lip Liner in Eastend Snob) and fill them in, then go over and over line them slightly.
Step 2: Apply lipstick a couple of shades lighter than your lip liner (Mac Lipstick in Peach Blossom) all over your lips.

Step 3: Apply a light pink shimmery lip gloss (Dior Lip Gloss in 267 Nuit de Juin) to the centre of the lips.

Step 4: Apply a contour shade (Sleek Contour Kit) below your lip to give a more poutier appearance.

Step 5: Apply a highlight shade right in the centre of the lips to reflect even more light.

 

And this should be a similar result! Instead of going round doing silly challenges to plump up your lips, just use these 5 easy steps and you will get an even better result!
