Huge winter makeup haul - Part 1!

Hey girls,
Hope you are all having a good week? It is absolutely freezing at the moment so what better day to be curled up in bed blogging! :) This weather is really making it feel so christmasy..my absolute favourite time of the year! :D I have been buying so much makeup lately to get prepared for winter! Most of the products I bought are from boots. They have some amazing deals on makeup at the moment so you guys should check them out and restock on a few items! I had kept my receipt to share all the prices with you but of course I lost it! So it's just going to be a rough estimate! :p I have more makeup on the way that I ordered online so I will do a second part to this haul when that arrives! Now let's get started :)...

I am constantly buying foundations! I love using different foundations every day so your makeup will always look somewhat different :) I had been eyeing up the 'Loreal True Match' foundations for quite some time and I finally decided to try it out! I got one in the shade 'ivory' ,which is my usual shade, and I got another one in the shade 'golden ivory' for going out. I wouldn't say these foundations are my absolute favourite but I have only tried them out once so far! I paid about €16 for each of these foundations. I also got my bestfriend to get me the 'MUA illuminating foundation' in England while she was there 2 weeks ago! I have wanted this foundation for so long and it cannot be bought here in Ireland! I have yet to try this out :) This foundation is about £3 in Superdrug.

Lip balms have never really been my thing and boots were having a '3 for 2' deal on all lip balms so I decided to pick up a few while I was in there. I have now a complete obsession with lip balms! I am constantly re-applying them throughout the day. I got the 'Vaseline rosy lips' , 'Vaseline paint the town' , the Nivea lip butter in the shade 'raspberry rose' and the raspberry Balmi lip balm! I much prefer the Balmi lip balms to the EOS! I find the EOS is a much thicker consistency and a lot harder to spread onto my lips. I am absolutely obsessed with applying the Nivea lip butter under my Lipstick. The flavour is amazing! I definatly need to purchase more flavours of these! All these lip balms were around €2-3 :) 

A person can never have too many eyeshadows in my book! ;) I picked up one of the Rimmel quads , which I love, in the shade 'Sun Safari'. There is really beautiful colours in this palette and it is perfect for beginners! This palette costs around €7. I was in a chemist the other day and I saw these gorgeous eyeshadows by Essence. I got a golden coloured one in the shade ' Skeye and sand' and a silver-brown coloured one in the shade 'party all night'. These eyeshadows were around €3 each.

I also decided to pick up a few of the '17 eyes' eyeshadows while I was in boots. I love these eyeshadows! They are so pigmented and tend to just glide on your eyes. Two of them cracked on me this time, which never happened before , but I probably must have hit them off something in the boots bag. I got these in the shade 'Walnut Pearl' , 'Rose Quartz' and 'Funfair' which is the most gorgeous eyeshadow colour I have ever seen! :) all these eyeshadows were around €5 each! 

I really needed new winter lipsticks this year! A lot of my lipsticks are very summery. I got this Loreal lipstick/ gloss in the shade ' 101'. This product cost about €10. I also got the 'Collection Cream Puffs' in the shade 'Fairy Cake' , 'Cotton Candy' and 'Angel Delight'! I have been loving the shade 'Angel Delight'! It is the perfect Mauve colour and I have been getting so many compliments on it! These cost around €4.49 each!

I wanted some new mascaras as a lot of mine are running low and drying out. I got the 'Maybelline Rocket mascara' which is my favourite mascara ever! This is about €12. I also got the 'Maybelline Great Lash mascara' in the shade 'Blackest Black'. This is about €11. I thought this will be really nice for going out as it is super pigmented! The last mascara I got was the 'Collection 5 in 1 mascara'. This is new out as far as I know! This mascara looked really interesting to me so I decided to buy it. It costs around €7.

Both of these blushes are from England! My best friend got them for me while she was there so I have no idea on prices for these. The first one is a Rimmel blush in the shade 'Live Pink' and the second one is the Sleek blush in the shade 'Rose Gold'! I was so excited to get this as you cannot get Sleek here in Ireland! This is a super gorgeous colour and it's really illuminating on the cheeks! Unfortunately it did crack on her flight home but it's still perfect to use! 

I am obsessed with under-eye concealers. I love how awake they make you look. I have so many different ones in my makeup collection at this stage. I got the 'Collection lasting perfection concealer' in the shade 'Fair'. This concealer was about €6. I also got the 'Maybelline Eraser eye concealer' in the shade 'Light'. This concealer was about €12.

The very last thing I bought in boots was 'The Soap and Glory Hand Food'. I am obsessed with hand sanitisers. I always have to keep one in my bag! The smell of this is absolutely amazing and I am constantly using it throughout the day! I can't get over how long-lasting the smell of this is. Definatly a new fav of mine! I went for the bigger bottle of this which was around €6

I hope you enjoyed reading this post! I will have the second part of this up hopefully next week depending on when my items get delivered! :) Talk to you all in my next post!

September Favourites! <3

Hey girls,
Hope you are all having a good week? Once again, I am so late with my beauty favourites this month but I'd rather it be done late than not at all :) I had a major splurge in boots yesterday so I hopefully will have loads of great new products to come your way soon!

My first favourite for this month is the 'Boots natural hold hairspray'.  This is definitely the best hairspray I have ever tried and it is super cheap! It only costs like €1.70 or something crazy like that. I absolutely hate hairsprays that make your hair all crispy and wet looking. It makes your hair look so  false! I was never a fan of hairsprays or used them often because of that! When I saw this hairspray I was dying to try it out and it has now become something I can't live without. It gives a strong hold and nobody will ever know you used hairspray. I am just after re-purchasing my second bottle of this! :) 

My next favourite for this month is the 'Rimmel Kate Moss lipstick' in the shade '03'. I have been looking for a nice pink-nude lipstick for a couple of weeks and I saw Anna Saccone talk about this in one of her videos. When I saw it in the Pharmacy it looked like the exact colour I had been looking for so I bought it. This lipstick is around €6.49 and it's perfect for everyday wear! 

I have been loving this 'Chanel Natural Finish Loose Powder' this month. I use this to set my foundation and it works perfectly. This powder is quite expensive so I wouldn't be purchasing it too often but it is quite a big tub so I do think it will last me a few months. I'm not certain on the price because I bought this abroad but it's around €40 I think. 

My next favourite for this month is this Rimmel blush in the shade 'Santa Rose'. This is the most gorgeous blush I have ever used! I bought this for my friend as a present a few years ago and it always looks so pretty on her so I decided to try some at her house a few weeks ago. I went straight out and bought it that day I loved it so much and I haven't stopped wearing it since! This is probably one of my favourite makeup products I own at the moment which is a lot coming from me ;) 

My last favourite this month is my 'Mac Studio Fix Powder'. This is the first Mac powder I ever owned. It costs around €35. I got this when I was 12 and I have been using it ever since! I always go back to this powder! It blends your makeup together perfectly! This would be an essential makeup powder of mine in my makeup routine! 

That's it for all my favourites this month! I hope you all enjoyed reading this post! If any of you would like to get in contact with me you can contact me through any of my pages! Talk to you all in my next post :) 

Stay positive, Stay healthy, Stay fashionable!
