Beauty Haul

Hey guys, so I thought it was about time I did another Haul! I have never done a beauty one and recently I have bought quite a lot.. oops! So I thought I would share them with you guys and tell you how I got on with all of them.

Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation:

I have only used this a few times but OH MY GOD, it's amazing. So so dewy and has such good coverage. I'd say this is one of my top 3 Foundations. 



Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation:

As you can see, this colour is quite dark haha, not my usual pale colour.. This foundation has really good coverage but isn't that dewy. I only wear this as a contour or I use this with another (lighter) foundation if i'm having a bad, pale day. 


Nars Narcissist Limited Edition Dual Intensity Eyeshadow Palette: 
I am loving this palette at the moment, I think it's so easy to use and has amazing colours. I like the fact there's some natural colours and some darker, edgy colours like the blue and black. These eyeshadows stay on for a long time and don't fall under the eye when you put it on (hate it when this happens!).



Kiehl's Hydro-Plumping Re-Texturizing Serum Concentrate:
I went in the Kiehl's store to find out if they had any hydrating creams and they told me this one is really good, but when I looked at the price, I thought whoah, hang on what if it doesn't work. So I asked the lady for a sample to try it out and it lasted me a week. My face felt incredible after a weeks worth of this serum so I had to go and buy the whole thing. It has really hydrated and moisturised my skin and now, it's so much easier to apply my foundation. I really recommend this to anyone with de-hydrated/dry skin. It's such a life saver. (Just be aware that this costs £40.. oops).

Nars Satin Lip Pencil in Timanfaya:
I had been looking for a bright orange lipstick for ages and I fell in love with this one. When I applied it, I didn't expect it to be so soft and moisturising. I thought it was going to be quite matte because it was a lip pencil. But I am so glad that it's not! This lip pencil honestly stays on for so long. It doesn't become dry or bitty, it stays in place and my lips always feel moisturised. 

Nars Eyeliner Pencil in Black Moon:
This eyeliner isn't the best black eyeliner I have used as it's a quite pale black (I'm not sure what I'm going on about, surely there's only one black!? haha). Although it's not as dark as I wanted it to be, it is really easy to apply and is a lovely texture.

Nars Lip Gloss in Sixties Fan:
This is such a gorgeous colour. I have been looking for a berry toned lipgloss FOREVER. The only problem with lip glosses is that if your hair gets in it, it will soon make you look like you've had your face painted.. not a good look. I used this on it's own, and it wasn't the best idea as it didn't stay in place. So I recommend (and to myself) to use a lip pencil or a lipstick underneath it. 

Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer in Light 2 (Vanilla:
This concealer is so so creamy and such great coverage, so good if you're having a bad under eye circle day! Definitely one of my favourite purchases this month.

Topshop Eyeshadow in Explorer:
I have been wanting a burgundy eyeshadow for a while now and I couldn't walk away from this Topshop one! It's so glittery and great for nights out. 

Topshops Brow Fixer:
I love this duo brow fixer! When I bought it, I thought the white bit was meant for under the brow but it was for making the brows more natural, which I love. The only thing whats missing, is a eyebrow brush.

Liz Earle Skin Repair Moisturiser (Dry/Sensitive):
This is honestly, THE best moisturiser I have ever used. It makes my skin feel amazing and really smooth, I am also hoping it clears my blemishes that I unfortunately have at the minute, MERGH

Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser: 
Liz Earle again! I actually got this free with my moisturiser and I also can say that this works wonders on my skin. It really wakes me up in the morning and makes me feel fresh and awake (at weekends anyway haha!).

SAMPLES!
So after purchasing many products, all of the lovely ladies at the shops gave me some free samples to try. I haven't tried any yet but I can't wait to! Who doesn't love samples haha

And that's a wrap.. and a lot of money out of the window! Most of these products were quite expensive but I think all of them are worth the money. I hope you enjoyed this blog post and I hope I have made shopping for make-up/skincare a little easier for you girls.
