Makeup shopping is by far my favourite type of retail therapy. Whether I'm in a store or shopping online, it never fails to make me feel like a little kid in a candy store.
Are you ready?
Here's my collective makeup haul for the month of August! Most I've acquired online and some I've bought in store. Let's start off with the online purchases, shall we?
False lashes from LOVeyelashes - this is where I usually stock up on my lashes, which I've needed to do for a while now. I chose mainly wispy but long lashes this time around and I'm so happy I've got a good range to choose from!
Cocoa Blend eyeshadow palette, two eye and two face brushes from Zoeva - a blush brush, highlight brush and more blending brushes. One can never have too many blending brushes. This palette is amazing. Come on, look at these shades - could you pass up this beauty? I've used it twice now and find the shadows so buttery and blend so easy.
Charlotte Tilbury Filmstar Bronze & Glow from Beautylish - This is something I've been lusting over for ages, but I found the original two shades just weren't right for my skintone. Then recently, CT brought out a Med-Deep shade, so you know I snatched that up quick.
TooFaced Glitter Glue and Urban Decay lipgloss in 'kinky' from Mecca - This nude lipgloss by Urban Decay is absolutely beautiful (not sure about the name though...). Super pigmented and not too sticky. The glitter glue was purchased with my MAC le disko shadows in mind, and boy, does it make a world of a difference.
MAC lipsticks in Whirl, Antique Velvet, Stone, Persistence, Cyber and lip prep+prime straight from the MAC website - Obviously had to get the new MAC matte collection as soon as they came out (minus Cyber) - loving them so far but I did get a lot of stares with Stone on my lips. Not sure how I feel about that.
In store purchases include the L'oreal Infallible 24-hour matte foundation - I'm not a matte finish type of girl but seeing it on Desi Perkins definitely made me want to try it. Inglot Duraline was purchased specifically for my Inglot 77 gel liner - 1 drop of this baby livened my liner back up again! Lifesaver.
Went into Sephora Sydney for the very first time since it opened late last year and purchased the Tarte Tartelette palette, another all matte palette I didn't need but had to have, Becca Mineralised blush in 'Songbird', a Jaclyn Hill recommendation, Kat Von D 'Lolita' lipstick and a back up of the MUFE mist+fix since I'm almost out and it's my holy grail finishing spray!
I know I went a tad bit crazy butttt... okay I KNOW this is a shitload of makeup to buy in a span of 3 weeks. But trust me when I say I don't buy anything I won't use. I do my fair share of research, look through countless reviews and make sure I'll get use out of a product. So... Don't judge me. K!?
Let me know if you've got any of these products and what you think of them, I would love to hear your thoughts! And if you'd like an in-depth review or swatches of any of the products, I'd love to do that for you.
'Til next time.
