Biggest Haul of 2017. (Beware large post).

Image
This rather large haul was acquired over a couple of months and I didn't buy it all in one go (I only wish I was that crazy). I'll start with the black box that's quite blurry in the left bottom corner, sorry about that. That is the Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk foundation in the colour N2. I have seen Desi Perkins on YouTube rave about this foundation as being hydrating yet full coverage and I wanted to go back to liquid foundations for a while now so I want to give it a go. I have tried it a handful of times and so far I like it, although it's not the longest wearing. Debenhams in the Uk is getting better when it comes to makeup these days. They have a better range of Too Faced, Kat Von D but they also not have Buxom which I am very happy about. I'll start off with the Urban Decay All Nighter Setting spray which I have wanted for a while, however, I never have been fully committed to buying this as I am a full fledges Mac Fix + addict and proudly so. I g...

Real Techniques Bold Metals

Ever since I started getting seriously into make up Real Techniques brushes have been a staple in my everyday make up routine. I remember, when it was my first year of university and I hadn't made that many friends, I turned to watching make up tutorials on Youtube and I never thought make up was something more then just slapping a liquid on my face. The first ever brush that I bought was the Real Techniques Stippling Brush, and I still have it to this day. Of course since then my obsession with make up has grown including my Real Techniques brush collection. The Bold Metals range by Real Techniques came out a few years ago and to be honest I wasn't really that fussed. The quality of these brushes are very soft however I personally don't see the difference.  The shapes that you see in the Bold Metals Collection cannot be found in their regular quality brush sets. The brushes are also weighted to give a more professional feel, and then coated in a metallic pai...

Things I'm Loving Right Now

I can never commit to doing monthly favorite posts so I have decided to do these types of posts. I wear make up almost every single day and what I use doesn't really change up that much. i always tend to get stuck in a rut using the same products in different ways. I was using NARS When God Created Woman Palette for ages and I was even using the eyeshadows in there for my eye brows. So yeah, I have so much make up but I really cannot be arsed going through my collection and changing it up. Over the past week or so however I forced myself to go through everything and picked stuff out to force myself to use them. The Urban Decay Naked Smokey Palette is something I picked up on the day of my graduation, and I haven't really used it. It was sitting on my vanity eyeballing me to use it so I put it in my make up bag and I have been using it nearly daily now. I don't really go all out on the smokey eye aspect of it, but despite this you can really create subtle pretty eye...
