Hey guys! Sorry for the lack of posts this month. This is just a quick one about what make up bits I got for christmas! Wishing you all had a lovely christmas period filled with love and laughter! and I hope these swatches help with your sales shopping!
First of all can I just say... How BEAUUUUUUU-TIFUL are these swatches! Just what dreams are made of.
BENEFIT | HIGH BEAM
£19.50
I had a little sample of this a while ago and never really used it. I can now say that this has now forced me to create a drawer just for liquid highlighters to make sure it is never forgotten about! It's such a lovely pale pink/ light purple shade and does remind me of NARS Copacabana. I love.
BECCA | SHIMMERING SKIN PERFECTOR MOONSTONE
£33.00
Big fan of the Becca Shimmering Skin Pressed Perfector I was dying to try the liquid formula of my fav, Moonstone. I've only used it to swatch so far but I am impressed by the colour and the texture. It's a lovely product, living up to the fabulous Becca Cosmetics line.
CHANEL | SOLEIL TAN DE CHANEL ILLUMINATING FLUID
£32.00
Ever since my lovely little Chanel friend forced me to try this I've been in love. I really like to mix it into my foundation as it gives a gorgeous glowing bronzed look! I've tried it under my foundation too and it works just as lovely.
CHANEL | SOLEIL TAN DE CHANEL BRONZE UNIVERSEL
£32.00
Not really a fan of cream bronzers but this is lovely. Smells lovely, looks lovely, lovely to use, how many times can I say lovely? A lot of hype is around this bronzer in the blogging world and I can say that I can see why. Just a really LOVELY warm glow!
KEVYN AUCOIN | THE SCULPTING POWDER
£35.00
Ever since trying Candlelight I was dying to try this as I feel they'd work gorgeously together! It's slightly more grey toned than my other bronzers and contour products but I think that it'll work well to sculpt out my cheek bones very nicely. The only thing about these is how tiny they are for your money. But you get what you pay for and you're getting a lovely formulated product that glides on the skin like butter.
BENEFIT | HOOLA BRONZER
£23.50
Never believe it but I'd never owned the Hoola Bronzer before the 25th of December this year. It is slightly warmer toned than the Kevyn Aucoin Sculpting Powder which is perfect for creating different looks. I really like how it comes with a little brush which fits like a glove into my cheek bones, happy days! A really lovely bronzer and I can see why everyone loves it so much.
URBAN DECAY | ILLUMINATED
£22.50
Two words, glitter heaven. I love this highlighter. I'm a big fan of highlighters. This is not a highlighter for an everyday look, but if you love that glam glitter life, then boy are you gonna love this glittery goodness.
SOAP AND GLORY | LOVE AT FIRST BLUSH
£11.00
£11.00
This blush is gorgeous. I loved my peach one so having a pink shade is perfect as its my favourite colour. Having the brown and highlight shade mixed in creates that perfect look on the cheeks if you can't be bothered with the whole contour and highlight on the daily basis. I do love a good blush and this is great for the price.
BENEFIT | GIMME BROW
£18.50
I love it. That's all I have to say. It's perfect as I don't always want to fill in my brows with powder but this creates that 'Brow Goals' look and I'm totally ok with that.
SOAP AND GLORY | ARCHERY
£10.00
I've been dying to try this for ages. I got the Blonde one and at first I thought it was going to be too light, but it's easy to layer up and create dramatic and natural looks. I'm really pleased with this pen and it's so much easier than powder!
SOAP AND GLORY | SUPERCAT FAT EYELINER
£7.00
I normally go for very thin eyeliners and I don't often create dramatic thick eyeliner looks. But the shape of this gives many thicknesses and although it's going to take me a while to get used to its very black and last well!
HOURGLASS | AMBIENT LIGHTING BLUSH
DIM INFUSION
ETHEREAL GLOW
INCANDESCENT LIGHT
£28.00 each
Hourglass is my favourite right now. The swirls in the product just make me feel like I'm sweeping gold onto my face. They're a lovely blush, hence why I asked for so many. Other shade(s) featured in pervious post - here.
BELLĂPIERRE | SNOW FLAKE PIGMENT
Such a gorgeous pigment. I use this shade and Champagne to death as highlighters, as eyeshadows and I basically pour them all over my face. Snow Flake is a gorgeous highlighting shade for the inner corner and brow bone.
SOAP AND GLORY | MINI GLOSS STICK BERRY GORGEOUS
£3.50
The texture of this feels amazing. I'm not really into dark lips but you can layer this up to a darkness that you like which I love. The colour is a light berry which would work perfectly this winter!
SOAP AND GLORY | THICK AND FAST
£10.50
BENEFIT | THEY'RE REAL MASCARA
£19.50
To me, mascara is just a mascara. I don't really invest in expensive ones because they dry out and its just a waste. I find application is the way to really get your mascara working. But I don't mind receiving expensive mascara's like the Benefit They're Real. The one thing I love about this one is the wand as it really suits how I like to apply my mascara. I've done a blog post on how I apply mascara - here.
What did you get for Christmas?
