Beauty| High End HAUL! ft. Mac and Zoeva

Earlier this week I uploaded pictures of my Drugstore Cosmetics Haul which marked the end of my six week spending ban. A monumental occasion, I know. Unfortunately, (but also quite fortunately) the money spending didn't stop there and I decided to dabble a bit online with endless scrolling on websites such as Mac Cosmetics, to name a few. I personally cannot get enough of other peoples high end shopping hauls as at times I find myself to be a cosmetics snob and get much more pleasure and excitement when buying things from a premium brand. A blessing for me and my skin but definitely a curse for my bank balance. I've made a personal agreement with myself that once I have bought all of the items below I will lay the card to rest for a bit, at least until next pay day anyway. Here is a brief rundown of each item. I will be doing separate and more in-depth reviews on every said item below, on the blog, in the next few weeks so keep your eyes peeled! 

                                     

Elizabeth Arden's 'Untold' 30ml £35

A sexy, womanly fragrance that's sophisticated yet pretty and perfect for all ages. Not to mention the beautiful, diamond-like bottle that shares a similar resemblance by shape and shine to a huge engagement ring.

                                       

Estée Lauder's 'Bronze Goddess'  100ml £47

The perfect summer fragrance. One spritz takes me back to sandy beaches, a hot sun and coconut smelling sun cream. The long-lasting smell is also a nice touch too. 

Mac Pro Palette x 4 £6.50 and 'All That Glitters' £10

The second of a Mac Pro Palette which has started off with a bang with a beautiful, iridescent pinky nude that I just can't wait to try. This also warrants more shopping as I can't just leave all those empty spaces! 

Mac Mineralize Skin Finish in 'Soft & Gentle' £22

Probably one of my all time favourite cosmetic items. A beautiful highlighter that transforms the face and emphasises the high points. This beauty will always have a place in my heart and make up bag. 

Zoeva Rose Golden Luxury Set £48

I have waited a long, long time for these and they were sure worth the wait. Never have I seen such beautiful brushes. I think my soft spot for rose gold plays a key part in this love affair. The quality of these brushes are amazing and the softness is slightly overwhelming. I'm almost too scared to use these encase a damage the beautiful exterior. 

I hope you enjoyed this High End Beauty Haul. As I said before I will be doing full reviews on these items over the next few weeks. I really hope you enjoyed having a little look in and if you have done anything similar please comment down below!

Make Up| Beauty Haul

Hello!

We're finally coming to the end of January which has literally felt, at times, like it would never end. Now we can get excited for Spring and the new pretty, pink blushers hitting each make up counter and the colourful flower prints in my favourite high street stores.

But for now I'm just going to run you through a few pictures I have taken of yet another Beauty haul! Like seriously that's about four in one month and counting, is it really necessary? well duh! 

The first two items I picked up were Essie nail polish's in the colours Fiji (left) and Parker Perfect (right) for £7.99 each. If any of you read my Current Wish List (here) you would know that Fiji was on there and well I snapped that up pretty quick! It's a gorgeous opaque, pearly pink perfect for a sultry Spring look. It's so girly and great for making even the slightest bit of tan stand out if you are so lucky enough to have one. Parker Perfect I basically bought on a whim as once my eyes had been blessed with the site of the Essie counter I knew I couldn't leave with only the one. The colour of this is slightly unusual being a blue-tone grey colour with a slight shimmer, something that will be totally unique in my collection and I really can't wait to take it for a swing . (Watch this space for reviews!) 

The next two items I snatched up was both the Revlon ColourBurst Matte Balm in the colour Elusive and a Lacquer Balm in the colour Demure.  These have been raved about on the blogging world ever since they first hit the shops and I knew I would have to give them a go. They come in a variety of different colours including nudes, purples and reds and so there really is something for everyone. I chose these two as they were the post subtle (boring!) and I didn't want go to wild when I only wanted to try out the formula and pigmentation originally. I cannot wait to give each of these a go especially Demure as it's a really pretty, shimmery nude colour which always seems to be my preference. 

Another item I bought purely because I've seen so many great reviews about it on here is the Revlon Highlighting Palette in the colour Rose Glow 020. This is basically the drugstore dupe of Bobbi Brown's shimmer brick and to be honest I think this looks just as pretty. The idea being that you swirl your brush in all five of the colours to create a sun kissed, bronzed glow which is perfect for these up and coming months. Priced at £8.99 I really could not think of a single reason why I shouldn't give this a go and if I like it, no doubt I'll be back to buy the rest! 

And last but not least was this little gift set of four different perfumes, two of each scent. Okay, yeah this is really random and I was 'that person' who picks the stuff up they put on display by the till purely so you don't think and buy it and well Boot's your method works! But when I got home and saw how cute the packaging was and realised how much I actually liked the two different scents I no longer regretted buying it for £14.95 altogether personally it think it's a steal! Will definitely be doing a review on these soon! 

So that's it till my next Beauty haul which in doubt will probably be before the end of the week!

Hope you enjoyed it.

Make Up| Yet Another Mini Cosmetics Haul

Hello again!

Two blog posts in one day, I really hope you're not getting sick of me!

I accidentally went into Superdrug and may or may have not spend quite a bit of money on things that weren't but at the same time were totally necessary. 

I picked up two of the Real Techniques brushes, the Shading brush (£6.99) and the Stippling brush (£10.99) . I pretty much own all of the RT brushes now and these really are my favourite tools to use when trying to create a flawless look. I've heard many good things about the stippling brush but haven't read up on many reviews for the shading brush so please let me know in the comments if you have tried it and your impressions on it!  

I also picked up one the Maybelline Colour Sensational Lipstick (£6.99) in the colour Kiss Pearl 832. I already own another one of these and I found the finish and pigmentation amazing. Plus, there was an offer on, on all Maybelline products so it would've been silly not to.

And so to receive this offer I also purchased the Maybelline Browdrama Eyebrow Mascara (£4.99) as I've been desperate to try one of these out. If I'm honest, I bought this on a whim and so have read no reviews and haven't clue what it could be like. Once again if you've tried it, please let me know your opinion in the comments!
