A Few Recent Buys #2

I have done one of these posts before and you all seemed to like it, so I thought I'd do another one seen as I've done a bit of shopping recently! As my student loan came in, I thought I'd treat myself to few bits and bats I have been eyeing up for a while. 

My eyelash curlers had pretty much fallen apart and were at a point where they were unusable. Not being a priority, I've been making do without curling my lashes which is unheard of for me! So I decided to purchase some news ones immediately after my student finance came in. I bought the NARS Eyelash Curlers (£15). I'm excited to start curling my eyelashes again after not being able to do so for ages!

Besides my eyelash curlers, some of my makeup brushes had starting falling apart. My brushes were malting all over whilst I was applying my makeup so I thought I'd try out the Lottie London brushes that everyone have been talking about! I am usually a Real Techniques sort of gal', but these appear to be just as good and I am dying to go out somewhere so I can apply makeup and make use of them! I bought the 'Best of the Brushes' collection which retails at £20 as I thought it would be better value for money because each of the brushes are worth £7/8 individually. It was just common sense to buy the set!

As I've mentioned before, I was unable to get my hands on the last NARS limited edition palette. They have recently released this one (NARSissist Dual Intensity Eyeshadow Palette, £45) and I snapped it up as soon as possible to make sure I could get one! This one comes with a mini wet-dry eyeshadow brush which (at full size) costs £24! You can use the eyeshadows wet or dry which I am so excited to try out!

Have you tried any of these products, if so what are your thoughts on them? What have you all been buying recently?

April Favourites


How is it the end of the month already? The time to write these posts comes around so fast! And to start the post off, I wanted to include the Benefit Bad Gal Lash Mascara again. I know I included it in last month's favourites posts, but I have used it religiously throughout April and I've fallen in love with it even more! It makes your lashes look super long and fluttery. I really want to get around to trying the new Benefit Roller Lash. But that may have to wait until this one has dried up!

Towards the start of the month, Burberry launched the release of their new Burberry Kisses Lipstick*. They came up with an ingenious Twitter campaign to  give away some samples and I was incredibly lucky to be sent one! I chose the shade Sepia as I am a lover of 'your lips but better' kind of lipsticks. I have worn this repeatedly, and I will definitely be buying the full size when my sample size runs out!

I've been pairing the lipstick with my Charlotte Tilbury Colour Coded Eyeshadow in Dolce Vita and I must say they go together perfectly! The golden tones in the eyeshadows compliment the colour of the lipstick and together they make your skin glow! Been loving wearing the combination for days where I decided to make more of an effort.

When I haven't used the Charlotte Tilbury quad, I have LOVED using the limited edition NARSissist Dual Intensity Eyeshadow Palette. It comes with a mini Wet/Dry Eyeshadow brush (the full size one costs £24 alone!) which is incredibly handy for on the go application! The thing about these eyeshadows is that you can use them wet for a more intense look. I am yet to try using them wet as they are incredibly pigmented as they are, however I am excited to see the effects!

Finally, we have the Benefit Porefessional primer. I wasn't a fan when I first bought it, but it is slowly growing on me now! I love the fact that it's tinted as all of my other primers are clear/white. I feel that this gives a little extra coverage so is perfect for achieving a flawless look!

What have you all been enjoying this last month? I would love to know!
