Online Haul: Beauty/Skincare

Welcome back!

All of my course friends are back from New York City and I must admit.. I'm so jealous of their shopping sprees and every bargain they managed to get!

After much persuading my mum gave me a budget and her card and off I went shopped till I dropped - with the comfort of my bed and a cup of tea by my side of course!

The websites I shopped online:

One of my first purchases was this Urban Decay Naked Eyeshadow Palette. I've had my eye on it for a while ever since purchasing it for a friend as a gift. A previous project I completed at University had me focusing on different make up products so I've definitely fallen in love a long time.

This shot doesn't show the shimmer quite justice!

It also came with its own eyeshadow brush which is cute -
I probably won't be using this as I have plenty of trusty brushes 
that will do the job perfectly.

I also ordered these three make up brushes: MAC 137, A23 Illuminator Brush and NARS Yachiyo Kabuki Brush. They can all be used at highlighter brushes as well as applying face blush. 

I'm so excited about this - I'm not a fake lashes girl so mascara is a vital product in my make up bag I've heard wonders about both brands so I can't wait to try them out. I already have the Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes but this product is said to have a more dramatic look. 

I couldn't shop online with all these brands and not purchase ABH Contour Palette - for £39 it was ab absolute bargain! I went for the powder version as my skin is combination but more on the oily side, in the shade 'Medium to Tan'.  

I also purchased Matte Liquid Lipsticks in So Hollywood, Potion and Spicy.

 

I'm not the biggest eyeliner gal but I do love a bold eye when I go out with friends. This Kat Von D Beauty eyeliner is perfect! It feels like a felt tip pen and the tip is super sharp which makes it easy to apply. I got the colour 'Trooper' which is a basic black.

If you're anything like me and take care of your skin at any giving moment, then you have to go out and buy this product. I've always been self conscious of my skin ever since I was a young teen although I have acne prone skin it has been on its best behaviour. Usually, I always look for a face moisturiser which is oil free as I have a very oily T-zone and this does the trick! In the middle, I'm trying out a new face serum which helps prevent acne and so far so good! And finally, the infamous avocado, creamy eye treatment which keeps those wrinkles away - I love you Kiehl's! 

I'll be sure to post more mini haul's and products which I love or hate. Tell me what products your into and why in the comments box.  

I hope you've enjoyed!
