I broke my new years resolution. Several times!
Oh well, can only start again next month. I bought a fair few things over the course of March and April. I haven't been trying them long enough to do a complete review on them yet, but I wanted to give my first impressions, and attempt a haul.
I did not buy all this in one go. My salary can't afford that! I wish it could, but it doesn't!
But I'll be honest, I did splurge out a teenie tiny bit.
But here are the newest editions to my makeup bags.
MAC Powder Blush in Melba
If it is anything like the Dame blusher I know I'm going to love this.
Bare Minerals Prime Time BB Primer Cream in Light
I must admit though, I do prefer foundations to BB creams. I normally find BB creams very wet and hard to blend into the skin. This doesn't seem to have that damp texture though. Although that could be because it is a primer, not a foundation cream.
This is giving a great smooth base for any of my foundations, and it does help my foundation last longer during the day.
Bare Minerals is bringing out a liquid foundation soon. It's already released in America, and I would like to try that once my current foundations run out.
Garnier Pure Active: Spot Fighting 24hr Moisture
Does it fight spots? Yes. Got rid of some stubborn spots straight away.
Is it moisturising? Yes.
24hrs of moisture? No way!
I can't get away with using this just as a moisturiser. I still have to use my Body Shop moisturizer since my skin is so dry.
I will keep trying it though. It may help during the dryer months of the summer if I use two moisturisers.
Bare Minerals Marvelous Moxie Lipgloss in Hypnotist
This seems to change colour on your lips depending on what shade lipstick you have on. You can't tell in the photo, but depending on the light in the room the product shows a different colour. When I took this, it looked Blue. I've seen it go a deep plum before.
It's a beautiful colour on it'sown too, and still just as moisturising as the other lipglosses in the range.
Nintendo 3DS
So far, it does exactly the same thing as my retired DS, it just has a few new internet features. Although I'm relieved that I can switch off the 3D effect. It gives me such a headache!
Lancome Hypnose Waterproof Mascara
I will be taking this to Majorca with me so I may get used to it. I really wish it had the same style brush as the doll eyes mascara.
Benefit Perk Up Artist
Bare Minerals Stroke of Light Eye Brightener in Luminous 2
This works really well with the Benefit Perk up Artist at hiding dark circles. I have used this for a few weeks and it is amazing. It is a lot damper than a regular concealer so I always have to set it in place with a powder, which looks really nice.
Tanya Burr Lips and Nails
The lipglosses are such pretty natural colours, I could have bought them all. At the moment I have Aurora. It has a gorgeous dark pink colour that looks beautiful with blonde hair.
The nail polishes are so pretty and have some gorgeous summer colours. I have Be Bright Be Happy Be You. It's gorgeous and such a pretty summer colour.
Well done Tanya, the collection is gorgeous, and I can't wait to try out more.
Have you tried any of these? Let me know. I really can't wait to use these more in my daily make up.
This may be my last blog before majorca, so it could be two weeks before my next post. I'm sure I'll have some amazing things to share then.
Bye for now!
