I picked up this Collection BB cream 'BB Secrets' in Boots as it was on offer and I love trying different BB creams - when I find one that works well, I feel so confident when I wear it. I picked mine up in 'light'.
I wasn't overly impressed with it - it can make you look quite orange and make your face look oily.
After hearing so much about Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation, I decided to pick it up in Penneys, and as I needed a new concealer (I'm running out of my Collection Lasting Perfection and my shade is always sold out everywhere... damn the Irish and their pale skin) I got the matching Wake Me Up concealer, both in 100 Ivory
I don't really see the 'anti-fatigue- effect much but overall, these are good products.
Inglot are discontinuing their circle shadows/concealers, so there was an offer of 50% off circle pan palettes in the freedom system. I took the opportunity to get some bright, good quality colours.
I saw the new Rimmel Kate Moss Matte Lipstick range in McCabes over the weekend and decided to try one out. I got shade 110 - a really pretty mauve/pink shade. It reminds me of Revlon Pink Pout/Mac Snob
I really like this lipstick, I'm definitely going to pick up more shades. The formula isn't overly matte and it's not drying.
I first saw this Essence make up base about a month ago and decided against getting it but when I saw it again I decided to get it. Depending what foundation you use this with, it can work really well or not that much of a difference. I'd suggest just trial and error. I do recommended to not use it over foundation as a highlight on cheekbones, bridge of the nose etc. as it doesn't blend well with set foundation/powder.
Collection Skylash (previously Skyscraper, it's now re-formulated) was on offer in Boots which encouraged me to buy it. Overall it's quite a good mascara, nothing really spectacular, but I'll probably repurchase.
I really like Essence lipliners so picked up this dark pink in Cute Pink. These lipliners are so moisturising, glide on so smoothly and can easily be used all over lips by themselves as they are so opaque.
For my birthday, I received the HD Brows Kit in 'Vamp'. After what feels like forever since they first came on the scene in Glossybox (was it September 2011?), I can finally give my own review on it; I was expecting more after it was hyped up so much but I really like this palette, I use it daily on my brows and also it's great for using on eyes.
Standing in Boots, debating whether or not to go down to the Benefit counter in House of Fraser to get Hoola bronzer, I saw this beauty.
The foundation is way too dark for my pale skin to wear, I'll try it maybe when I have tan on. Bad Gal Lash mascara makes your lashes really voluminous, and the reason I bought the little kit, Hoola bronzer, is really as good as people say. It doesn't make me look orange and works super for contouring. I'll definitely be
buying the full size of it.
I've read about how the Kiss Care Love lipbalms from Essence are really moisturising, so I decided to get one. I haven't had a proper chance to test it out yet, so all I can say for now is that they smell reeeallly sweet, something I'm not a huge fan of but doesn't bother me TOO much.
I repurchased my beloved, trusty Essence gel eyeliner. If you haven't tried this out, I suggest you do as soon as possible -it's my go to gel liner for less than €4
Another repurchase was my again trusty Duo Lash glue (Dark Tone). By far the best lash glue I've ever used.
My friend got me these Georgia Salpa (how gorgeous is she??) lashes for my birthday, I can't wait to wear them, they look so dramatic and full. I'm going to use them next weekend and I'll do a FOTD.
I recently attended Professional Beauty Dublin, which I thoroughly enjoyed as I do every year , and picked up this Royal & Langnickel 18 piece brush set which I'll do an in-depth review on next. They're really good quality for such a reasonable price. You can check out Royal brushes here.
So that's what I've picked up over the past little while. I still want to get some winter lipsticks, which are next on my list. I'm so excited for Christmas already, I've been watching Christmas movies all week. My favourites have always been The Santa Clause trilogy, such classics.
I hope you're all well, until next time, thank you for reading. xx
