Sephora/Holiday Haul

I almost forgot to share my holiday purchases, which are mostly from Sephora and Inglot. I bought some beauty bits while visiting my family in Poland and a little treat for my husband on the ferry to Calais. I didn't go crazy though, because I prepared a 'mental shopping list' weeks before, haha :)

Sigma Brilliant & Spellbinding Eye Shadow Palette

Sigma Brilliant & Spellbinding Eye Shadow Palette* (£29.99)

Another stunning palette from Sigma, released as part of their Steady Glow Collection. It is packed with neutral shades and a little bit of colour for the more adventurous makeup addicts. 

NEW Bourjois Rouge Edition 12 Hour Lipsticks

I love Bourjois - I really, really do! Their bases and concealers are regular repurchases for me and the lip products are some of my all time favourite formulas and colours. The new 12 Hour Lipsticks* wowed me as well and I can't get enough of the nude shades. There is also a shade revival of Pamplemousse, back by popular demand.

Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara Review

There has been a lot of hype surrounding the Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara* (£19.00), so when a small sample of it arrived in the post, I applied it to my lashes immediately! Is it worth the hype?

HELLO! Fashion Magazine Launch + Competition

There is a new monthly fashion magazine on the market - HELLO! Fashion. With traditional media/print struggling at the moment, it is very refreshing to see a new option for fashion lovers. There is some beauty thrown in for good measure too, which is something I look for in every magazine. The best bit - it costs only £1.00!!!

Illamasqua Once Collection

The visuals for Illamasqua's Once Collection scream Autumn/Winter to me and the new products and colours are simply stunning. The collection consists of 3 cream eyeshadows, 2 lipglosses, a blush and a nail polish.

Clarins Autumn 2014 Collection

 Clarins never fail to impress me with their stunning makeup and each collection has a special place in my heart. I simply adore their formulas and packaging and I recommend them to absolutely everyone! The Autumn lineup consists of the new Ombre Matte Eyeshadows, a Brow Kit, Instant Light Eye Perfecting Base, Limited Edition 3 Dot Liner in Brown, True Radiance Foundation, an Eyeshadow Quartet and 5 new shades of Rouge Eclat Lipstick.
