New York Make Up Haul

So just over a month ago I set off to New York with my Mum

It felt like we had been waiting so long for this holiday (well it was just under a year..)

I had a pretty good idea of a few products I wanted to pick up whilst in the states

Mostly stuff we can't get easily in the UK or are a lot cheaper in the US

The above haul is all the makeup goodies picked up, there was also a trip to Bath and Bodyworks (why don't we have that here!!!???) and to the beauty section in Victoria's Secrets.

I've also discovered the perfect skincare routine for my troublesome skin...it may or may not include the addition of a Clarisonic Mia to my arsenal

As you can see from the photos I went a little crazy for nail polishes

The Essies were only $7 and the OPI's were $9 on the cruise so I couldn't resist them

I also finally picked up the feather effect Nails Inc polishes, only $9, and the Illamasqua Speckle polishes which I'd been lusting after for so long

There are a few things missing from the photos as they are already well and truly implemented in my everyday make up bags but I will be reviewing everything I purchased

Hope you're all good :)

Don't forget to follow me via Bloglovin with GFC going down tomorrow

Look Makeup 'Haul'

Make Me Blush Blusher in Rosy £8.00

Make Me Blush Blusher in Flush £8.00

Holiday Glow Bronzer in Hollywood £8.00

Cream Blusher in Melon £5.00

Look at Superdrug

On a recent perusal of the Superdrug website I noticed that the majority of the Look make up collection was reduced by up to 50%, seeing that I love both the products I've already tried I took advantage of the offer and got all of the above, plus a mascara and nail polish for a bargain

The offer's still on but I don't think it's 50% any more, still a good discount to be had though

I'm tempted to pick up a few other bits now paydays here!

I like the simple packaging of the larger products but not so much the big text on the front, I like things clean looking and simple

The cream blusher is in quite a cheap plasticy housing but I do like the fact you can see the colour inside

All of the bronzers and blushers in the Look range are in the same packaging so it's hard to tell what your picking up without opening it.

As you can see from the swatches they are all really well pigmented and lovely colours too

Rosy is a subtle pink, something I don't actually have in my collection as it's not coral! 

It's a really pretty colour and is perfect for an everyday, rosy cheeked look

Flush is, surprise surprise, a coral..it's similar to the Nars Orgasm in colour but doesn't have the chunky glitter in it which I think is a bonus

Hollywood is a really nice warm bronzer, I prefer warm colours on my skin tone

This requires quite a light hand to avoid looking like mud but I think it would make a stunning eyeshadow colour

I'm really enjoying cream blushers at the moment and Melon is a gorgeous colour, similar to Topshop flush but different enough to not be a dupe

It's a lovely pink colour, again nice and warm and looks great lightly buffed into the cheeks

Very impressed with my little Look haul and I'm now off to eye up some more purchases!

Love
