Mini Makeup Haul 😍

So I couldn’t help myself.. 👀😁✌🏼️ 

I have here a mini makeup haul to share. I’m so excited with these babies and I can’t wait to use them!

Okay, so believe it or not, I’ve never tried any TheBalm products before. I know, I’m sooo late in joining the bandwagon. But I’ve heard lots of YouTubers rave about the Mary Loumanizer highlighter and I’ve always been curious, but I never got it. So when I got the chance, I picked that up, and a few more products that I was interested in, like the Bahama Mama bronzer, the Sexy Mama translucent powder and two (the other lipstick hasn’t arrived yet) lipsticks. And then I got two Illamasqua brushes, a contour brush and a blush brush. These are so incredibly soft! And then I got two of the Anastasia Beverly Hills Illuminators in the shade Starlight and So Hollywood. I’m mainly excited about So Hollywood, also, now that I saw it in person, Starlight is looking a little bit too light for me. I mean I don’t want a stark white stripe on my face when I use this, so hopefully I can make it work. Those two were the only shades I was really interested in, I did debate on getting Riviera but I feel like it might be too dark for me. Moving along, last but not the least, I got the limited edition Swirl and Sparkle brush cleanser in Pumpkin Cheesecake which is a new scent added to their store for a limited time. I’ve talked about this cleanser before and how much I love it. Still the best brush cleanser in my opinion.

So that’s all I’ve got for this haul. Till next time! Cheerio! xx

#2: Favourite Lip Liner

 Here I have my favourite lip liner from MAC, it’s Soar! I love this shade because it can go with anything, that’s how I see it at least. I really love nude/neutral lip colours, especially ones with a touch of pink in it, so if a lipstick shade is too brown or beige in my opinion, I pair it with this lip liner. I absolutely love wearing this one with Velvet Teddy. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 

MAC Wash & Dry

Picked up the Refined Golden bronzer, Freshen Up highlighter, and the Tumble Dry liptick. 😍 Again, Mac’s packaging is so beautiful! I really like the bronzer, and although it’s a permanent shade, I’ve never tried it before. It has gold shimmer when you look at it on the pan, but it’s not really that noticeable when applied to the skin. Next is the highlighter which I don’t agree to be a highlighter. It swatches like a peachy pink shade which I personally think is more of a blush than a highlighter. The only shimmer or glow you can really see is when you swatch it for the first time, and that’s because of the overspray. It was kind of disappointing but still a beautiful shade nonetheless.

Gerard Cosmetics mini haul! 😁💕 

 

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! 💄💕💕💕

It’s becoming an addiction. 😁😁😁 Got more of the NYX matte lipsticks. It has great pigmentation, lasts a decent amount of time on your lips, and the colour selection is massive. The only thing that bothers me with this is the scent, to me it smells like paint. Although it’s not overpowering or anything, it’s just me really. Also, they tend to feel dry after wearing them for a while, which I guess is what you would expect from a matte lipstick. Other than that, I think these lipsticks are great. 💄👍🏼
