So I thought I'd come at you with a second blog post today! Recently I've been thinking about how much higher end makeup I actually own and without doing this post, I didn't think I owned too much. Until I took these photos. I don't think I find high end makeup any better than the drugstore and until my budget can allow me to buy more high end, I'll stick with getting a few treats here and there.
Mac Viva Glam Rihanna- bought on ebay, love the colour when blotted
Too Faced Melted Nude- one of my favourite liquid lipsticks
Nars Valkyrie- only worn once, very drying
Ysl Tint-in-oil- beautiful gloss, just dries quickly
Stila Glosses in Pout and Gleam- sticky gloss but can be used quickly in project pans
Christian Dior Limited Edition Tie Dye lipstick in 01 nude- beautiful colour, perfect for work!
Emite Diamond Primer Sample- brand new and never used
Bare Minerals Prime Time in oil control and original- original doesn't work with my oily skin, oil control hasn't been used much
Eborian CC Cream- white cream which changes to your skin colour. Too dark for me.
Estée Lauder Double Wear- perfect for my oily skin, had this since March and I use it a lot. A little goes a long way!
Too Faced Bb cream- I wear this on my days off as it has a slight coverage but just enough. Quite orange in colour.
Mac MSF (mineral skin finish) in light- I recieved this in a beauty box and haven't put it down since.
Stila Convertable Colour- perfect coverage with a stippling brush!
Christian Dior Limited edition Tie dye blush in peach- I love this colour but am so scared to make a dent in that beautiful top!
Nars Dual Intensity Blush- recently bought but loving the pale peach for everyday with a sheen.
Mac mineralised blush in Dainty- a total holy grail product! I recently tried to hit pan but am so glad I haven't managed it!
Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara- another holy grail product! Seperates my lashes and gives volume!
Eyeko Blue Mascara- used once, but I don't like the tube it's in. Makes it very messy.
Clinique Mascara- love using this, but as it's a small sample, I don't use it often so I can keep having it in my collection.
Stila Smudge Crayon in Antique- again a product I've used once and found that it was rather copper in tone.
Stila sparkle waterproof liquid eye liners in Bora Bora and Royal- I've actually used these once and although they are very glittery, the colour sticks and stays!
Stila Stay all day Waterproof liquid eyeliner in Indigo- I love these eyeliners. They really do stay all day and the colour is very vivid.
Stila Smudge Stick Waterproof Eyeliners in Black Amethyst, Tetra and Lionfish- again I don't have anything negative to say about these! They do stay in my water line all day!
Stila Single eyeshadow in Pigalle- used once, but have to say they blend really well and although a dark shadow is not too dark.
Stila In the Moment Palette- beautiful shadows and combinations. Watch out for this palette next year!
Smashbox Palette- used a few times, but holy pigmentation batman! Do they stain the skin.
Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette- as you can tell I love this palette to death. Currently the only palette I'm using. Very buttery and glide on well.
The Balm Nude'tude palette- never used but swatched, lovely colours and a good all round colour scheme.
Well that's everything highend I own and as you can tell from my mini reviews, I really need to use it! Next year I think I'm going to focus on using these and my next project pan I think will be a Stila themed as inspired by Glamour with Grace (on YouTube)'s all Mac project pan. I believe it would move out a good few products. If anyone is wondering most of this high end collection is bought at Tk Maxx reduced, especially Stila.
I hope you enjoyed everyone! I may do a highend skincare post soon, would you enjoy that?
Emma
