Mini make-up haul

Hello readers!

I have recently spoiled my poor sensitive skin with some new make up products. I never usually buy myself things so sometimes it can be a waste of money, but thankfully, my skin seems to enjoy these! So if you have combination skin and make up seems to fall off your face as soon as you step out of the door then look no further.

My first item in No. 7 'In The Nude' natural eye shadow pallet, now I never used to be a fan of eye shadow and I rarely use it, but it is amazing what a few puffs of colour can do to your eyes, my skin is very fair and very pale so the smallest amount of anything will do the trick, but it lasting is another story, I easily find a lot of more expensive brands seem good but are actually crap.. this eye shadow pallet lasts and has all the essential colours to wear everyday but to jazz up in the evening if I want, (which is rare). I always used to think, evening looks, smoky eyes, black, white. But with this I can still achieve smoky eye but with nude colours and it looks a lot more human and a lot better in all honesty! 

My next purchase was Rimmel's 25 hour lasting foundation, I have read a lot of other people's blogs on the foundation so I thought I would give it a try, and I was so impressed! I never manage to find a foundation that actually lasts me all day, but this one does that very thing! The foundation is a perfect (for me) combination of thick and runny, it covers my flaws easily and makes me feel so refreshed, not to mention the smell is really good to! Half a pump of this stuff covers me for the whole day and I have never found that! I am so impressed. Like I've said, I am fair skinned, so I went straight to the fairest bottle and it was perfect for me. This is the foundation for me and I am so so happy I've found it!

Another foundation I purchased was Mac's Studio Fix Liquid in shade NW13, (very pale). The feel of the foundation when you put it on your skin is so soft and smooth it's such a lovely glide. However I found with my skin that the foundation really made my skin dry. I never really heard any bad things about the foundation so I never doubted it and I presumed because of the price it was a good investment. However wearing it at work I noticed how dry and flaky it made my skin, I was so shocked and disappointed about this discovery I never really wear the foundation unless I am going for a very natural look, in which I would mix the foundation with Nivea day cream. The colour match was very on point and I was pleased with the make up artist that dealt with me. However the product itse;f and the amount I spent on it really disappointed me.

My final product is Chanel's Rouge Coco Shine in shade 89 'Satisfaction' I was inspired by this purely because my girlfriend has it and I wanted one too.. She got hers in New York and I keep using it, she got annoyed and now here we are. It is such a perfect colour for everyday wear and feels luxurious on one's lips, I never wear lipstick because it dries out my lips and I never have ever worn lip gloss it makes me feel too weird and makes me pull faces with the thought of it getting stuck in my hair. This however leaves my lips feeling hydrated and natural, I forgot I am wearing it and for me that;s important, I want to get on with my day without worrying about getting hair on my lips, or smudging it. I have no faults with this lipstick and it was well worth the money, Chanel as always out stands me with the elegance, class and quality of their products. 

 Now I am super pleased with my recent purchases and I am glad I spent the money on the Chanel lipstick (not so much foundation). If any of you have recently got new make up let me know in the comments I would love to try them out.
