i've got quite a few new makeup bits recently. i got my first proper full time wage packet so thought i was allowed... :)

too faced amazing face powder foundation in honey beige, nicola roberts dainty doll blush in 002 my girl, mua professional trio in chocolate box, boots 17 falsifeye gel liner, chanel mimosa nail polish, burts bees chapstick, boots 17 falsifeye mascara, mua professional palette in heaven and earth, estee lauder double wear in 4n1 wheat.

face products. now that i'm spending a considerable amount of time outside the house, i felt the need for a long lasting foundation. and nothing quite compares to the classic estee lauder doublewear. it has such a great range of shades and is reasonably priced for how decent it makes my skin look all day. i got matched to shade wheat, 4n1. this is in the medium deep (4) depth category, with neutral tones. this matches my skin almost perfectly. while browsing asos sale i came across the too faced powder foundation. i love using a light dusting of powder foundation to set my liquid foundation as it provides a decent amount of coverage as well. i got this one in honey beige, reduced to £13.95 instead of £22.95. my boots has starte

d to stock the nicola roberts dainty doll range. now i am well aware that it is designed for girls with fair skin, however this shade is beautiful. it's a cool candy pink with a gorgeous shimmer, and looks lovely layered over a pink blush to give a glow and sheen to the cheek. i can't wear this on my own as it just looks really weird.

while in superdrug i thought i'd check out the new mua professional range. i'm a huge fan of the regular range, in particular the single eyeshadows so was super pleased to find them in palettes. the heaven and earth palette was £4, and the chocolate box trio was £2.50. the trio reminds me of the bourjois ones, and i absolutely LOVE it. the colours in it are perfect, a gorgeous peachy pink with two unique shades of brown. it's super pigmented and so easy to use. the heaven and earth palette i'm not quite so pleased with. the colours are nice but the shadows just don't seem up to the same quality of the singles that retail for £1. they seem powdery and lacking in pigment, and actually seem to work best with the sponge applicator provided.

i've been in malia for a week, and on the way home i couldn't resist popping into duty free. i picked up chanel nail polish in mimosa, a gorgeous summery yellow with pearl shot through. i've been wearing it on my toes and i think for a yellow it's super flattering! it does require 3 coats though. the lipstick is a ysl rouge pur couture in 23 corail poetique. it reminds me alot of mac vegas volt with more of a peachy tone, but is creamier and more moisturising. also in this super posh gold case.
