Welcome back!
When I was in New York, its safe to say that the one store which bled me dry the most was Sephora - mainly due to the fact that the makeup giant doesn't exist in the UK.
Because of this, I saw fit to buy whatever I wanted - If any of you have ever visited a Sephora before then you'll agree when I say its like a very expensive sweet shop.
One of the first purchases I made was this Urban Decay Naked Illuminated Highlighter. 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 heavily on different highlighters so I've definitely become a bit of a hoarder as a result.
This shot really doesn't do the quality of the powder much justice. |
It also comes with its own little applicator which is cute - I probably won't use this as I have a range of trusty brushes that work perfectly. |
If you're like me and don't like going anywhere without wearing makeup, then you have to go out and buy this product! I've always been self conscious about my skin ever since I was a young teen although its now almost always on its best behaviour. Sometimes I can't be bothered to do the whole foundation routine but this tinted moisturiser does the trick! It offers a bit of coverage which makes all the difference - I love you Origins!
I was sooooo excited about this - before going to New York I saw that ABH had released her new Brow Definer and I had my heart set on it immediately! I already have the Dipbrow Pomade which is amazing but this product is good for quick brow fixes.
I also picked up the Brow Powder Duo, again excellent for filling in and shaping brows very quickly!
I couldn't not pick up a Contour Palette - for $40 it was an absolute bargain! I went for the powder version as my skin is combination but more on the oily side, in the shade 'Light to Medium'.
Like in most stores - Sephora adopts the tactic of placing multiple products around their till areas in a bid to entice customers to spend even more money - it certainly worked on me.
The same day that I got my hair blowed out and styled at DryBar I spotted this mini set - I already have the large yellow hair brush which I love but I thought this mini one would be good for my mam who has recently had a slight fringe cut into her hair. The two products included in the set were used on my hair and created a beautiful result, I just couldn't say no!
And then there was the array of face masks on offer. I loved that their was a member of staff to advise customers on which masks to buy depending on their skin type!
I hope you liked this mini haul post!
