#10: Top 3 Brushes

If you guys didn’t know, I’m a massive fan of Real Techniques brushes, it’s really not a surprise that my top favourites are from this brand. So here are my top 3, from left to right:

Buffing brush (Core collection) – I love using this as a blush brush, I sometimes use it to apply my Stila putty perfector. PS, sorry it’s dirty, I used it earlier. ✌🏼️

100 Arched Powder brush (Bold Metals) – One of my absolute must haves! I’m in love with this brush, and look how pretty it is! 😁💕

Setting brush – This is my favourite brush for applying my highlighter. It applies and blends the product nicely. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

#1: Most Recent Makeup Haul

So to start this makeup photo challenge that I’ve been wanting to do, here is day one, which is the “Most Recent Makeup Haul”. I know that this photo isn’t my best, but it’ll work. Sorry! ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼 Also, I’ll include mini reviews on some products mentioned/shown. 😁

Anyway, from left to right:

I have the MAC Royally Riotous (Amplified) from the Veluxe à Trois collection. It’s a dark brown nude, it’s almost like Whirl or Creme in Your Coffee.

Next I have the Sephora Look smart travel eye brush set. They’re magnetic so you can literally just attach the different eye brushes that comes with it on the handle. I think it’ll be handy.

I got the NYX brow gel in Brunette. I’ve been wanting to try something like this for a while now and I just have to say that I will definitely repurchase this product. 👍🏼

Urban Decay All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray. I’ve been getting travel sizes of these because they have a few you can choose from. I just finished my bottle of the Deslick one, and next on my list after I finish this is the Chill one.

Next I have a Nars shadow primer, I also got the face primer with SPF, and a mini blush in Orgasm.

The Laura Mercier Translucent Setting Powder, I’m so excited for this! I’ve heard a lot of great reviews for this one and I can’t wait to use it! Will definitely do a review on this. 😁

Next I have the Too Faced Born This Way foundation. I have a review for this one on my blog so you guys can see a more in depth review on that. But yeah, I got mine in the shade Naturally Beige.

The Stila Perfectly Poreless Putty Perfector, another one that I was really excited to get. I decided to get this one after I watched Dani (coffeebreakwithdani) talk about this product in one of her videos. I just received and tried it on today and oh my gosh, it’s like magic! I was completely blown away by this product. Again, There will be an in depth review on this sorcery. 😋

I have here two of the Becca Champagne Pop, the shade created by Jaclyn Hill. I originally had the intention of buying one, but it was so damn beautiful that I had to get backups. So yes, it might be too much, but I got two more for backups, I panicked a little because this is a limited edition product. I wish they would make it a permanent one because I really do love this highlighter. ✨

And last, but not the least. I talked about this product on a review before, this is the Swirl & Sparkle brush cleanser sample quad. Marii, the owner of S&S recently added four new scents, and I just had to get my hands on these. The four new ones are Birds of Paradise, Toffee Crunch, Orange Dream, and Java Mama. They smell so delicious that you’d want to eat it. 😝

Champagne Pop

Can I just say.. I’ve never ever ever loved a highlighter so much, ever! Not kidding. This one got me so obsessed with highlighting. For me, it’s the perfect shade for my skin tone. I know everybody loves Moonstone and Opal, but I think that Moonstone is too light for me and Opal is just too dark, so Champagne Pop is a shade in between those two, which makes it a perfect highlighting shade for me. It’s so creamy and smooth to apply, it’s heaven! I literally can’t stop wearing it everyday. I keep telling myself that I would change it up, because I usually try to “rotate” my makeup each day, but I just can’t help myself. Champagne Pop is definitely my favourite highlighter! It’s just so freaking gorgeous, gaaaah! I think I don’t need to say anything more about this product, it’s perfect. 😉✨✨✨ It’s a limited edition highlighter (👎), so get it while you still can!!! 🏃💨😁

Laura Mercier 

I’m in love. 😍
I have been wanting to get this highlighter for ages! I first heard about this from Kathleen Lights, she mentioned it in a few of her videos, and so I was very curious and wanted to try it out myself. I’ve been holding off because, well, I don’t really know. I try not to buy too much makeup (Yeah right!), because I know that I still have a lot and should probably use those instead of buying new ones. But alas, we all know that that’s never gonna happen. 😝 So I actually went to Sephora first, I looked for it, I saw it, and I swatched it. And oh my bloody hell, it’s gorgeous. It’s literally all GLOW, no glitter whatsoever, which I love because it’ll look more natural. At least that’s how I see and want it. So I was so sure already that I was gonna get it. But when I looked behind it (it was at the very bottom shelf so I didn’t see behind it right away), it was empty. I don’t know if they’re restocking or what but I was already horrified. So I went to Nordstrom.. I was looking around and the lady at the counter approached me and asked if she can help me find something, and I said yes because I couldn’t find it. So I told her what I was looking for and described it to her. She checked her stocks and pulled a box out. I was getting so excited but when she read the label, it wasn’t what I was looking for. So she looked again, and she found the Highlight 01!!! So inside I’m screaming, YASS!!!!!!!! So I was able to get it and I’m in love with it, and I highly recommend it. 😘 xx

Bold Metals

I love Real Techniques! Been wanting to get these for ages and I finally got them! 😍 

I’ve been a fan of their original brushes, and I love these even more! I will post individual reviews on the brushes to let you guys know and see them up close. 😘 xx

 

Milani 💄💕

My new favourite drugstore lipstick, Milani Moisture Matte lipstick in Naked. ❤️❤️❤️

Velvet Teddy has ALWAYS, and I mean always been my favourite everyday lip colour. Although I absolutely love that shade, I wished that it somehow had a touch of pink. Not exactly a pinky nude, but I wanted a very slightly dark nude with just a touch of pink. I found what I was looking for when I tried Milani’s Naked on. I even went so far as to saying that I like it more than Velvet Teddy, which trust me, is saying A LOT. So yes, I found a new everyday lip colour that looks so gorgeous and natural. The formula of this lipstick is so great, it lives up to its name “moisture matte”. I’m absolutely in love with this lipstick! 💄💕💕💕

Had a lovely afternoon stroll with my Aunt Angela around Brooklyn today. ⛅️
