Makeup/Skincare purchases

I thought I'd share with you a few makeup/skincare products I have been purchasing over the last few weeks. I thought about doing a Febuary favourites but I've been trying out a lot of new products lately and haven't made my mind up on many.


Benefit Cream Liner/Eyeshadow in Sippin n Dippin



 I picked this up very cheaply at www.cheapsmells.com. I haven't come round to purchasing a MAC Paint pot which I've been wanting, but I thought for the price of around £6.99 including postage, I could try this out first. I never was a eyeshadow person. If I wore eyeshadow it would be a neutral but now I like experimenting with different shades to add a dimension.

Aldi Brand Makeup Blusher in Sunset



I picked this up at my local Aldi store. A while a go I read on someone's blog (Can't remember whos) that it was a dupe for Nars Orgasm. I was meaning to pick it up for a while so thought i'd try it out. It's a different shade to my normal blushes I own. It is a deep pink with golden undertones.


Collection 2000 Lip liner in Clover Pink
ELF Feather Proof moisturising Lip Liner in Natural Blush

 Top Collection 2000 Lip liner in Clover Pink
Bottom ELF Feather Proof moisturising Lip Liner in Natural Blush

I've been needing a few different Lip liners. I picked up one from ELF and another from Collection 2000. One is a deep pink and the other is more of a peachy pink. This are great paired with my current favourite lipsticks.

ELF Eyeliner Brush
ELF eyeshadow smudge brush
ELF Stipple brush



I picked up a few brushes from ELF. One is an eyeliner brush. I've been needing a good eye liner brush for a while. I haven't got on very well with this one. I think I'm needing an angled eye liner brush. I can't get the hand of gel liner. I also got a smudge eye shadow brush from ELF. I wanted a medium fluffy brush so for £1.50 I couldn't not. And finally I picked up the ELF Stipple Brush. I wanted this since it got released and I waited and waited till it came back in stock. If I'm honest I thought It would be more denser. I was going to try it with my foundation but have stuck to using it with blusher for a natural look.

No 7 Radiance Boosting Hot Cloth Cleanser
Superdrug Vitamin E Illuminating Moisture Cream


I've been through so many of the Illuminating moisture creams. I use this under my foundation to give me a dewy glow. I've been wanting to purchase the Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish but when I saw the No 7 version I decided to try it out first as I usually removed my makeup with a wipe but thought It was dying my skin out. I absolutly love using this cleanser. As soon as it runs out i'll be purchasing the Liz Earle one. It makes my face feel so much softer and clean.
