I went shopping today with the intention of buying many things, so I did. I'd been wanting to get some contour / skin type stuff for a while, and I thought since I have an event tomorrow night, now would be the perfect time. I also added a couple of lipsticks that I got for Xmas and some that I got for a friend's birthday, but I won't be swatching those because I don't wanna open the packaging. Also I'm lowkey annoyed because mum tried to shame me into buying makeup but shh mum. If I want to wear makeup I will, and on a day to day basis I only wear BB cream and lipstick to work. The only time I wear full makeup is if I have an event such as weddings or birthdays or clubbings. Otherwise, no. I'm not interested in wearing a full face all the time but if I was, that's my problem, not yours. SO. SORRY NOT SORRY
OKAY MAKEUP TIME (also since I just bought these I haven't tried them etc etc but I would like to give my feedback once I've used these properly)
HOURGLASS VEIL MINERAL PRIMER
I got the travel size since it's my first time using it, so. Excited because I've heard good things about it.
NARS RADIANT TINTED MOISTURISER // Annapurina
Before I bought this, I'd been using the Garnier BB Cream which I like, but I don't think it matches my skin as good as the NARS one does. This shade is similar to Tahoe (All Day Luminous Foundation, which I also own) and I think I'm going to be using this instead of foundation more often, to be honest. It's so lightweight and it's quite matte, which I prefer over a dewy or glowy finish. I'm definitely a matte girl.
NARS ORGASM BLUSH
The lady who helped me instore put this on me and it was a subtle blush without being too matte or glittery, which I prefer.
NARS RADIANT CREAMY CONCEALER // Cafe + Caramel
I'll be using these to contour. And I'm excited because NARS. I love NARS. I don't know how obvious that is.
TOO FACED BETTER THAN SEX MASCARA
I needed mascara and it was there and I heard good reviews and I like having big thick fluffy eyelashes so yeah. High expectations.
OPI NAIL POLISH // Barefoot in Barcelona + Black Onyx
I'm wearing BIB now and I fucking love it. Such a pretty nude. I used to be one of those people who would only spend $5 on nail polish but I find with OPI not only does it last longer than my cheaper polishes, there's more variety with the colour and oh my lord, it is so easy to apply. I wouldn't consider myself a pro but I feel like one with OPI. So I definitely think it's worth cashing out for.
NARS AUDACIOUS LIPSTICK // Jeanne + Charlotte
Jeanne
This is more of a burned red colour which I like since I don't have any reds like these. I was on the hunt for a dark red and I definitely feel like I have fulfilled that desire. What I like about NARS Audacious is that it's super easy to apply and the colour is so rich, so naturally I'm in love.
Charlotte
I got this for Christmas (ie I got a makeup voucher for xmas and this is what I bought with it) and I fucking love it. It's a soft berry red and it looks great.
ARTISTE PROFESSIONAL FOUNDATION BRUSH
IT IS SO SOFT. I LOVE IT. CAN'T WAIT TO blend with this beauty.
I also got the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water, which is great for makeup removal and cleaning your brushes. I prefer using this much more than wipes since it's better for your skin and all that, so I'd definitely consider this a holy grail, for sure.
The last thing was the Urban Decay Setting Spray which I didn't take a pic of because cbf but I've heard it's dope so yay.
And I'm not spending money ever again after this, HA.
