My next obsession is this Mac highlighter in soft and gentle. I bought this ages ago, but I lost it on holiday and then my friends bought me it for my birthday. This is the shiniest, glittery highlight ever and every time I put it on, someone says how stunning it looks. I only have to dab my brush in twice, and then I'm done, it is so pigmented! The colour of it is like a champagne with a pinky undertone, so if you like highlighters that are those kind of tones, buy this. This retails at £24, so it is on more of the pricey side, but it's definitely worth it because I can't see mine running out anytime soon. This gives such a nice shimmer to your cheeks, and I reckon you could even use this as eye shadow if you wanted.
My favourite part of doing my make up has to be eyeshadow. I love mixing and blending different colour combinations, and seeing how it turns out. Which is why I wanted to find a primer base that would make it last all day, and make the time I spend on my eyes be worth it. This eyeshadow primer by Urban Decay does exactly that. You only have to put on a tiny bit and your eyeshadow stays on for so much longer than it usually would. When applied it feels really soft and velvety, getting rid of your eye creases and giving you a naked tone base.
I also got bought a Mac lipstick in the shade Blankety. This is a nude shade with quite a pinky undertone to it. I absolutely love it as an everyday lip shade; it's really natural, and like any other nude goes with everything you wear. When applied, it leaves your lips feeling so soft and it also has quite a shiny finish. Unlike matte lipsticks, this is not drying to the lips, it's really moisturising and you don't have to apply lip balm or anything underneath. All my Mac products have never let me down, I adore how they package their products, it's so simple yet really pleasing and you're always guaranteed good quality. The only bad thing I'd say is, I have to re apply this quite a lot, you can't put it on in the morning and leave it all day, it has to have a space in your bag to take it with you.
Another current love of mine, is this NYX intense butter gloss in the shade Tres Leches. I sometimes prefer wearing a gloss because I love the shiny finish they leave and most of them smell really good. This one smells exactly like those butter toffees that your grandparents always have in a bowl on their coffee table, so good. I find a lot of lip gloss's don't have enough colour to them, so I put a lipstick underneath, but this one you can wear on it's own as it's exactly what it says it is (intense). One thing that slightly annoys me is that it's quite sticky, although I feel that's expected with all glosses. If you go out a lot, get this! It adds a glamorous touch to you're make up, I love it. NYX as a brand is one of my favourites at the moment; the products are super cheap and the quality is so so good. I feel like, now it's becoming more popular and counters are being put in Boots, they'll bump up the prices, which is why I went on a bit of a NYX shopping spree.
My last favourite is another Sleek product, and it is the Matte Me lip cream in the shade Shabby Chic. This is one of their new shades, and I think it's part of a collection of 12. They're all so nice, but I think this was my favourite, plus, the other ones I wanted had been sold out. If you're looking for a liquid lipstick, I strongly recommend this. They stay on for absolutely agesss. I swatched it in the shop, and I couldn't get it off my hand, which is when I knew it must be good. After you eat, you do have to re apply it because it goes a bit weird, but other than that, in terms of lasting all day, this is the best one I've ever had. They also had a sale of two for £8, which I think is amazing for the how good this is! It has a velvety texture when applied, and it dries really nicely, leaving an stunning matte finish.
I hope everyone had a nice weekend. If you know of any good fake tan brands, let me know.
