A Little Something Extra

I know this post is coming a little late, however, although I do have things in my collection I still need to review, I wanted to take a break from the review and haul posts for a while. I hope that my favourites will have a little more variety than other peoples posts, but we shall see. I will try and go in order of how I would apply my face. Primer: This is something new that came to me at the end of the year but I can already tell its a firm favourite. I was always using the Becca Backlight Priming Filter which I still love however it wasn't doing anything to smooth texture and minimise pores, so I decided to try out a Jeffree Star recommendation, the Touch In Sol No Poreblem Primer . This really smooths out my skin and creates a perfect canvas for my foundation. This is, however, a little mattifying, so it makes dewy foundations look more like a velvet finish. Foundation: Now this is a tie between two oh so expensive, but worth it, foundations. The first foundati...

If you saw my last blog post you'll know that I bought the Shade and Light Glimmer Palette by Kat Von D. The main reason why I wanted this so bad was because it claims to have 4 different finishes in one palette, and it also goes along with the first matte palette.  Can we talk about the packaging? The outside carton is so nice the way it shines in the light. The font is exactly the same as it is on the original shade and light, the differences are that the glimmer palette has the glitter accents, and the original has the gold and black lacquered embossed letters. The Glimmer palette has plastic packaging compared to the Shade and Light Matte Palette which has the cardboard packaging. I have to say I think that although the stand out letters looks really nice, I can't help but feel as if I like the cardboard packaging more. At first glance, you'd think it was the same palette, however, the finishes are completely different, and out of this word gr...

Debenhams is the only retailer in the Uk that stocks Kat Von D beauty products. Sometimes when something limited edition like the Saint and Sinner palette ill make sure I've saved money for it and purchase it from Sephora, however, when you know something permanent is on the line, and it's going to come to the Uk soon, I'll wait until it's in Debenhams. Something that I've wanted to try for a while are the Everlasting lip liners. They have been available in Sephora for quite a while and its taken months for it to become available over here in the Uk, so when I was browsing the other day and saw them, I knew I had to pick one up to test out the formula. Then that obviously led to me buying a couple of other things as well...oops.  I picked up the lip liner in the shade Lolita. I already own the liquid lipstick version of this and love it. I thought this would be a great everyday lipliner as it doesn't really need to be paired with the liquid lipstick...

Ok, so it might look like I am spending a ton, but my last haul was the last month, as it took so long to get here.  I have to address if you have read the blog post before this one, you'll know I am all about the limited edition palettes. When I first saw this palette I have to admit that I didn't really immediately fall in love with the shade selections. The packaging is phenomenal, but the shades I found to be a bit meh as they are not traditionally grouped together to similar tones, and they are a little all over the place. I knew I was going to buy it because I have a thing where the lusting after the limited edition holiday palette by Kat Von D just gets to me. What got me super excited was her swatch video on her youtube ( here ). The shades have so many different finishes and dimension that it just had me drooling. The con I feel like for the palette was the release date. They announced the palette and then two weeks later it was coming out. I ...
