Recent Make Up Purchases

I'm currently on a spending ban as I need to save up for my New York holiday, so I thought I would share with you my most recent make up purchases! 

This was on sale at Beauty Bay and I've never tried any of Too Faced's lip products so I couldn't resist! The packaging is so pretty and the product itself is a beautiful shimmery light pink colour. This is in the shade Melted Metallic Peony and of course I would love to try more of them, but for now I will just enjoy this one!

I have been obsessed with highlighters at the moment so when Beauty Bay started stocking Anastasia illuminators I quickly ordered Riviera, which is a beautiful rose gold highlight. I also went shopping in Lakeside recently and couldn't resist going into the MAC store and picking up Soft and Gentle, which gives the skin a beautiful glow. 

Also on Beauty Bay I ordered the Morphe 35W palette. A more in depth swatch and review post will be coming soon!

Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette Swatches

I received the Too Faced Chocolate Bar for Christmas and I thought I would swatch the palette and include a mini review! 

I believe it was £39 and my Mum got it for me from Debenhams, but it's also available online if there's not a Debenhams near you.

There are 16 shades, including 6 matte and 10 shimmery shades. I feel this palette has the perfect amount of neutral shades, highlight shades and brighter colours. The shimmery shades are more pigmented than the matte shades, which is to be expected. There was also only a tiny bit of fall out with the darker shades. 

The packaging, especially the box, is so pretty and feminine, and the smell of the eyeshadows is just amazing! I'm a massive chocolate fan but if you're not then the smell might bother you a bit, although personally I don't think it's over powering at all.

2015 Make Up Favourites

My love and passion for make up has definitely grown a substantial rate over 2015, and starting my blog in July was one of the best things I have ever done. It has not been an easy year but having my blog has kept me going and given me a purpose even in the darkest of times. 

Anyway, enough of that, today's post is going to be my 2015 make up favourites/best purchases. I absolutely love all of these products and have been my most used this year!

My absolute favourite primer and foundation that I've bought this year has to be the L'Oreal 24h Matte Foundation and the Mattifying Base. I have been using both of these, along with the LA Girl Pro Concealer and the Make Up Revolution Contour Palette pretty much every day since I've bought them, I would 100% recommend them!

I have been loving shimmery blush this year, and my two favourites and most used are the Soap and Glory Love At First Blush and the Make Up Revolution Blushing Hearts blusher. They are both so pretty and give the skin a natural healthy glow. 

I'm sure Champagne Pop is in a lot of peoples 2015 favourites! It is such a beautiful highlight, along with Mary-Lou Manizer. I've actually only got into using highlighter this year and these two are definitely my favourites, and will be for a long time! 

My favourite gel eyeliner this year has to be the Maybelline Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner. I personally find gel liner easier to use than a pen and my eyeliner skills have definitely improved as a result. 

The Soap and Glory Smoulder Kohl has been my ultimate favourite pencil eyeliner. It lasts all day and has the bonus of being waterproof! 

My two favourite mascaras this year have been the elf 3-in-1 Mascara and the Maybelline Lash Sensational. They are very affordable which is a huge bonus, I just wish I could get elf in stores in the UK! 

I feel my eyebrow game has definitely improved this year, and that is partly down to the products that I've been using to fill them in. If I want quite full brows I have been using the Milani Stay Put Brow Color, which I absolutely love! If I want a more natural look I have been using the NYX Brow Pencil. Some days I use both of them together, and I'm sure they will carry on to be my favourites in 2016! 

I have been loving dark mauve nude lips this year and these two have been my go to lipsticks. On the left is the Clinique lipstick in the shade Bare Pop, and on the right is Sultry Sienna from Cover Girl. 

You may have seen me rave on about how amazing the MUA Single Eyeshadows are on Instagram, so of course they would feature in my 2015 Favourites! They are so pigmented and beautiful, and for only £1 the quality is incredible. 

I've also been loving the Mabelline Color Tattoos as a base for my eyeshadow and to make my eyes really pop! 

Finally, my two favourite eyeshadow palettes of 2015 have been the Lorac Unzipped palette and the Naked Smoky palette. They are both so incredible and are definitely worth the money!

Thank you for reading and Happy New Year!
