MAC in Bluewater House of Fraser and a WonderWoman EVENT!

Er...so I was on the MAC website...as you do (everyday!) and I looked at their events page. I was actually looking for information on their master classes and what not and I typed in London and clicked on Events and a bubble came up for HOF Bluewater.

I had to actually blink and I was momentarily stunned thinking (well doing a boogie dance, theres a MAC in a shopping mall kind of close ish to me!) AND they were having a MAC WonderWoman event starting from Thursday 3rd March till the 5th March.

I called up the line and a very polite HOF colleague answered and she booked me in-they only had 2 slots left; 10AM and  6PM...obviously you know which I went to! 6PM...that way I can get to all my wedding related appointments on the same day and finish the evening with a MAC WonderWoman makeover!

It costs £25 and is redeemable against the products, as far as I know I think it is an hour makeover using products from the new MAC collection. I have just whipped out my card for a 3 for 2 offer in Boots on their No7 (I bought 2 lipliners 20Nude and 30Caramel and a Stay Perfect Lippie in shade Classic Rose 25).

Also I placed an order with ASOS for their LAST Eyes and Lips Palette by CID for £12.00 and also a Jemma Kidd Bronzer for £11.00!

Sorry for the lack of pics guys, will upload pics as soon as I can!

Peace out

Long Time No See!

Hey guys!

I hope you are all well and enjoying wherever you are at this point in time!

I know that I have been MIA for yonks now and basically most of it is down to my trip to India, to buy my outfits for my Registry and Engagement ceremony that is coming up in June! I went to India at the back end of Jan for 2 weeks with my other half and mum and we came back with 6 suitcases that were a lot heavier than when we went to India!

So...I know that soo much stuff has been happening in the beauty world right now and I need to get blogging back into my routine because I still read other blogs every day!! Its a good habit :)

So new things:

Am a bit darker because of India...pretty sure I need to change my MAC foundation shade!

Lost a tiny bit of weight (although I might put it all back on now that I am back in London!)

Had one of my bridesmaids drop out (still quite emotional about this one) and I gained another one (YIPEE)

Learned to appreciate my other half more...and actually tell him!

Make up related things:

I bought the doubled ended colour corrector from the Mickey Contractor Collection and the 239 eyeshadow brush! I love it!

MAC studio concealer, which is great! Think my dark eyes need to be colour corrected a lot more..maybe go to Bobbi Brown for their famous colour correctors

Nars Velvet Matte Pencils in Cruella-this has changed my outlook on red lips. LOVE IT!

Nars Albatross-looks great in pictures and is something that you never appreciate on yourself..but other people do (and quite possibly dont know where the glow is coming from!!)

Painterly Paint Pot and Indianwood Paint Pot-LOVE paint pots now that I finally know how to use them...I know this sounds quite silly but I wasn't putting enough of the product onto my lids so I would end up with a very sheer colour with my first paint pot...Rubanesque.

MAC 109 - use this to put my Nars Albatross on top of my cheekbones.

MAC 187- Love this for buffing my foundation out and when I have time I stipple it on

Dior -Sumptuous Extreme; this has a long story behind it but I had a GWP sample size of Sumptuous and started using it randomly and totally loved it. Went to the counter, bought the wrong one (bought Double Wear Mascara) and then forgot about it. Went to duty free and this is their new version of Sumptuous, but I need to put my mascara on properly and then feedback to you guys.

OPI - Dim Sum Plum A gorgeous pinky purple colour and it was in their Hong Kong Collection. This was my first OPI nail polish and I was just unimpressed with the price; although the quality was AMAZING. Will have to venture to ebay for my OPI purchases in the future.

My next beauty purchase has to be a pair of Shu Uemura Eyelash curlers-I currently dont own a pair! more Ardell Lashes, duo lash glue, Laura Mercier Pointed Eyeliner brush, colour corrector for my eyes...the list goes ON!

What have you guys been doing?

MAC Stylishly Yours Collection 2010-Keeps and Passes!

Hey Lovely Peeps,

So the above collection is out on the same day or near enough the same time as the Cham Pale Collection.

After Temptalia has given a review video and her first impressions, I thought I would also put my thoughts out there.

Here is Temptalias Video Review of the collection Temptalia's Video Review of Stylishly Yours MAC Collection 2010

The collection is fairly substantial-it isn't as big as Cham Pale but the collections both focus on different things. Cham Pale was all about the frosty finishes and sheer toned products. Stylishly Yours is a collection that is very in your face and bold. The Cham Pale collection should be diluted down with other finishes and textures, otherwise you will most likely end up looking like a glitter bomb!

Personally for me Stylishly Yours collection definitely has more of an appeal because of the colours-but the actual 'newness' factor of the new paint pots shades, Soiree Nail Lacquer and the I Get No Kick Eyeliner pencil is something that does draw me in..if you will.

I like the boldness of this collection, the colours are very opaque and pigmented from what I have seen and what adds another layer of oomph is the textures are very very glossy and creamy. The colours in the products emulate each other (apart from the beauty powders...). So I think you could definitely get away with using a lot of the products from the same collection for a look.

So the collection is as follows:

Beauty Powders

• 2 shades and both are Limited Edition. 
• Play it Proper  which is a sheer, cool toned soft pink 
• Too Chic which is a sheer Pale Gold with a shimmer sheen.
• The former would be suited to a cool toned skin tone and the latter would be for a a warm toned skin tone, however I think cool toned people could get away with it too :).
• They are both $22 each and there is 10g (0.35oz) worth of product, which is good value.

Pigments

• 4 colours; 3 shades which are new and there is 1 repromote from a previous collection
• $19.50 for 0.15oz. I think MAC pigments are personally very expensive, I tend to use Barry M dazzle and glitterdusts. They are £3 for a dinky pot and I barely dent them (I've had them for yonks)-I will do some swatches of the ones that I currently have-but I do not have any MAC pigments to compare them with
• Follow Your Fancy:  Coral/Red with an orange frosty sheen when you apply it to the skin. In the jar it looks less frosty. From other MAC pigments that are more frosty-this shade is definitely my favourite as the frostiness isn't overdone. LE Shade
• Madly Personal:Magenta/Fuschia with hardly any glitter and a satin type finish; same as New Fixation. This is also LE shade.
• New Fixation:  Pinky Red (more red than pink) and has a satin like finish. I really like this colour as it is hard to find this shade of eyeshadow! LE shade
• Violet: Purple and Blue duochrome, which is frosty with very fine glitter; watch out for fallout! The shade actually reminds me of an Urban Decay 24/7 glider pencil that I used to have. Sorry I have totally forgotten the shade name! This is permanent at MAC Pro.

Fluidline

• Blacktrack: is already part of the permanent line. I have heard mixed reviews about this-I really wanted to get this product as I didnt have any high end gel liners (I use Sleek Ink Pot, which is such a difficult formula to work with) so I wasn't sure whether to go with Bobbi Brown Gel liners or MACs and apparently MACs fluidlines can dry out. I have seen a good deal on QVC Beauty Website: you get 2 Bobbi Brown Gel liners and a brush to apply them with for £30!!
• Dark Diversion: LE shade, is a ripe plum shade; its a gorgeous shade and reminds me slightly of beetroots before you cut them?! It is $15 and will be a good change from using black.

 Lipsticks

• 4 shades: 2 new and 2 which are permanent I believe
• $14.50 each
• Cockney:  Permanent shade. Sheer orangey red-more red than orange and it looks as though it would be a good lipstain. It has a lustre finish
• Neon Orange: Permanent at MAC Pro . This is quite true to its name and is a vivid and opaque orange
• Something New:  LE shade, which is a cool toned pink-again really opaque colour I really really like this shade and is a really nice baby pink.
• Style Curve: LE shade, violet with pinky tones. It looks really scary in the tube, but it came out really well on Christine from Temptalia. It is less opaque than Neon Orange and Something New

 Cream Colour Bases

• Please note that you cannot use any of these bases on the eye area due to the dye in the pigmentation. Lips and Cheeks are fine-but please check with your local MAC store to be sure.
• 4 Shades: 2 which are are permanent at MAC Pro and 2 which are Limited Edition
• Madly Magenta: extremely pigmented and opaque colour; use a light hand when applying this! This shade is permanent at MAC Pro
• Movie Star Red: very pigmented and opaque deep red colour. Limited Edition
• Tickle Me Pink: more sheer than the other two, possibly because this is a lighter colour. It reminds me of the Pink Friday Lipstick for Nicki Minaj all smushed up. LE Shade
•  Virgin Isle: Coral/Orange, again this is pretty opaque and is permanent at MAC Pro
• These pots sweat a lot because of the cream, so if they are beading when you first purchase them-do not panic. After the first time you use them and you use the top layer-they will not sweat anymore.

I am most excited about the lip colours and the cream colour bases. The cream colour bases and lip colours are very very in harmony and I feel like you could get away with just buying the lipcolour and then using your fingers you could make it into a sheer blush. I was watching Lisa Eldridge (love her, she is such an inspiration!) and she was saying how the art of lipstick is slowly duying out and she made a video where she showed the different uses of a lipstick. Also having the same shade blush and lipstick worked quite well together and I always thought that it wouldn't!

Purchasing:

• Madly Magenta Cream Colour base
• Something New and Style Curve lippy. I think I have a possible dupe for Something New but I will need to swatch it personally and let you know if it is a good dupe; obviously in which case I will pass on it
• I really like the Violet pigment, because I have a soft spot for purples but I am pretty sure I have a Barry M dupe for it so I will be purchasing either Follow Your Fancy and Madly Personal or both!

Pass:

• The beauty powders as they are going to look ashyy on  my NC44.5 skin tone! I personally think that the money can be spent elsewhere.
• Fluidline in Dark Diversion- I think that maybe Bobbi Brown's Gel liner in purple could be better and I could get that with the QVC offer!

What do you guys think of the collection?? What are you going to buy and what are you going to pass up?

MAC Cham Pale Holiday Collection-What I want and what I dont want!

Hey guys!

I have just read through Temptalia's first impressions of the upcoming Cham Pale collection and I just wanted to let you know what I will be purchasing from the collection.

Temptalia's Swatches and Video Review

• NW15/NC30 Chromographic Pencil $14.50- this I would use to line my waterline to look as though I am actually awake when I've had 6 hours of sleep reading other beauty blogs...! :D
• Feline Kohl Power: $14.50 Repromote from the Fabulous Felines Collection $14.50 I didnt pick up anything from this collection, so definitely want to get my hands on this!
• I Get No Kick $14.50: Champagney Pinky Pencil which has a shimmer to it; I think this would be great on the inner tear duct and also underneath the brow bone (with a light hand)
• Dangerous Cuvee and Let Me  Pop Paint Pot $16.50 A purpley shimmery paint pot and a coppery shimmery paint pot, probably more opaque than Rubanesque which I already own. As I want to get a lot more paint pots from the permanent line I may just get one out of this collection which would definitely be Dangerous Cuvee.
• I really liked 1 nail laquer out of the 2 in this collection Soiree, which will be $13, I think I should be able to find a dupe for it; when and if I do-I will definitely let you know! This is a very optional product that I am going to buy, because there is still 3 more MAC collections coming out after this one that I may want to pick a few things up from.

 Things that I really am not interested in (at first glance):

• There are no seperate eyeshadows in this collection-there is a quad for $36.00 that has 2 permanent shades (Brule and Retrospect), 1 Repromote shade Et Tu Bouquet from A Rose Romance, 1 Limited Edition shade which is called Caviar Dreams-which is what they have named the Quad after! So a lot of you lovely peeps are likely to already have at least 2 of these shades and why would you want to buy these again just to get 1 limited edition shade and repromote?
• The lipsticks are something are lovely, but I feel like the shades from the Stylishly Yours MAC Collection are more appealing-I'm not made of money!!
• I kind of wanted to get one of the Lip Gelees, because they are so pigmented ish-the Straight to the Head which is a gorgeous minky brown with coppery glitter-but they are soo expensive. I dont have any lip products apart from one MAC lipstick-I would rather pick up some CremeSheen Lipglosses thingies.
• Skincare: Comfort Creme-which is a rich creme which is the same formula at Prescriptives. Fix+ Lavendar, and tinted lip conditioners. I would rather buy the regular Fix+ and the I use Blistex Daily Lip conditioner at the moment, which is working great for me-but I wanted to try Kiehls Lip stuff

Check out Temptalia's video review and let me know what you guys are going itching to buy??

Random Mumblings!

Hey Guys,

I've been religiously reading all the blogs that I am following and really wish that I had the time to do more reviews for you! This will definitely be my new years resolution, that I will not break as I really do need to get around to blogging more!

So I read Temptalia everyday, because I know Christine updates it near daily! Her images and swatches are absolutely top notch, but I think I will carry on swatching, as there aren't that many swatches on my medium dark skin tone!

So...there are 2 new Mac collections that are due to be released on the 26th December in the US; Stylishly Yours and the Cham Pale collection. They usually release internationall around a month after the US launch date.

Check out Temptalia's take on these collections, as she also provides images:

Temptalia Stylishly Yours MAC Holiday Collection

There are bold lips. red or orange with pink eyes-a really bold look and I think one that will look great for the winter where everyone covers up with their winter coats and this show of colour would be a great pick me up! The lips are glossy, cream based eyeshadows, pigments and 2 new beauty powders. Again please do check out Temptalia for pictures and more information with regards to pricing.

My favourite things from this collection are: Madly Magenta Eyeshadow, Dark Diversion a plum fluidline, Cockney (warm red lipstick) and Somethings New (cool bright Magenta lipstick).

A couple of things that I just dont have from MAC: mascaras (because everyone says that they are not worth buying, as they having the shortest life time, I would rather get it from Boots or Superdrugs in the region of a tenner!), Lipglasses, Dazzlesglasses, Cremesheen thingy. The only lip thing I have from MAC is a lipstick, which has a cremesheen finish. I also do not own any lip pencils, eye pencils (am holding out for one in particular, you will see when you continue reading!).

Quick look at Cham Pale on Temptalia and it seems the emphasis is on contouring, highlighted and polished look and is a toast to the New Year-literally. There are quite a few things in this collection which have got beauty followers quite excited: new frost finish paint pots (all four which are limited edition) and 2 highlighter powders which seem to be unlike anything MAC has done before (I could be wrong!)-please check out Temptalia for the actual details,

Temptalia Cham Pale MAC Holiday Collection

My favourite things from this collection are the highlighter powder-I'm not sure which I would look the best on my skin tone (although I am also debating on picking up NARS Albatross too :s), the fleshy toned pencils, Feline Kohl Pencil which is a repromote from the Fabulous Felines collection (I think everyone went a bit nuts over this pencil, so I must check it out!) and I have been toying with the thought of getting a tinted lip conditioner from MAC anyways...but we will see because I am not made of money!

The Marcel Wanders collection is out  right now and the only thing that I actually want from there is the to die for MAC 187 brush that has the most GORGEOUS handle on it and its £45! The most I have paid is for the MAC 138 brush which was nearly forty quid  and I am yet to buy the 187! I also want to buy the flat top Kabuki brush from Coastal Scents as it is supposed to be AMAZING for applying liquid foundation!

 I get paid in a week and I have already spent all the money for Jan! Must remember to hold back money for Duty Free Beauty Hauling!

 I am going to India for some shopping and see family, do you guys recommend anything I could do to make my makeup last the hot and sweaty temperatures there??

What do you guys think of the MAC collection?

I think that sometimes you have to choose between eating or buying from a MAC collection that just seem to be changing so frequently, that you buy it at the store and its all new-but when you get home-everything you have bought is already old news!

Happy Holidays everyone!

Review on Nars Sheer Glow....Lurve it!

Hi guys!


Before I got sick, I was playing around with my Nars Sheer Glow foundation that I recently bought on my first trip to Liberty! I was totally amazed and thought I was in Shakespeares globe!! A very different shopping experience, but a lot better than my first time to a Mac store where I spent nearly £300 and bought a tonne of stuff to Liberty where I only bought a foundation and a lipgloss!

The makeup artist at Nars put three foundations on my face: Tahoe, Macao and Cadiz and then she blended the bottom half of the swatch on my face so I could see what it looked like when the foundation was blended in and she asked my opinion as to which one I thought matched me best and I pointed this one out and she totally agreed.

I did check Temptalia's Foundation Matrix beforehand so I had some kind of an idea about the shades that I may be! However I was a shade in between what Temptalia had recommended for my NC44.5 skintone. I wasn't disappointed at all, having Indian skin means uneven pigmentation on the face, but even knowing the colours on either side of what I am armed me with some knowledge.

http://www.temptalia.com/foundation-matrix         please check out Temptalia's foundation matrix; she has taken the hardwork out of guesswork for foundation once you know your Mac Foundation Colour.

Ok, so lets see there is 30ml or 1Fl oz of foundation, there is no pump and I FORGOT TO BUY ONE! The testers that the makeup artist used all had them on (obviously-duh Shika!??!) so I forgot that I would have to buy one! It works out to be £29.00, which is £9.66 per 10ml. Compared to Mac Studio Fix Fluid Foundation SPF 15 30 mls (1 FL oz) which retails for £19 and works out to be £6.33 per 10ml! Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation is £25 for the same amount and works out to be £8.33 per 10ml. So as you can see, this is my dearest foundation to date.

The above are only price comparisons, as I have been using Mac Studio Fix Fluid with my moisturiser in the morning for work and it has a near matte finish and obviously the Nars Sheer Glow has this gorgeous satin finish to it. I must say I was confused as to whether I should use powder; I normally use Mac MSF Medium Deep; but I was watching a video on youtube saying that using it as a setting powder is not ideal. BUT it seems to work for me!

Anyhows, I used my Body Shop Foundation brush, similar to MAC 190 brush, the texture is a lot more watery than the Mac's Studio Fix Fluid; which I wasn't expecting at all...(a lot came out as a result :s) and I worked it onto my face, it glided on and didnt streak at all, was easy to blend and just left me with a soft satin finish and a slightly radiant look and I was like..oooh. My fiancee commented on my makeup that very night and said that he really liked it and preferred it to the Mac Studio Fix Fluid.

I would totally recommend it-if you can afford it. It says that it has no fragrance, but it does-its a very faint smell kind of like when you a newly painted room has been drying for a month-just a teeny tiny lingering paint smell. I love the finish and consistency-my skin is dry right now because of the winter weather. According to the Nars website, using this foundation everyday will give you the following benefits:

"Sheer Glow Foundation improves skin brightness, radiance and texture. For normal to dry skin types.

• Minimizes visible discoloration
• Brightens and clarifies overall skin tone
• Improves skin luminosity and radiance
• Hydrates for softer and smoother skin
• Dermatologist tested. Non-comedogenic. Fragrance Free"

The above was taken from Nars Website.

I will let you know about the above effects, but as it is so expensive-I wont be using it everyday. The Fix Fluid will do! The Sheer Glow will be coming out for nights out and extra special days!

The SA at the Bobbi Brown counter was saying that my skin is superdry-but I've been drinking a lot more water since she said that. I know that you can get Nars at Space NK, Liberty, Selfridges and probably House of Fraser and John Lewis too.

I also bought Benefit Porefessional, Benefit D'finer and D'liner and a No 7 Lipstick Cherry Rose a cool magenta type colour-ooh and if you follow me on Twitter then you will know that I just got my Eve Pearl Salmon Concealer on Friday and will be using that for a while before reviewing it for you!


What are your thoughts on Nar Sheer Glow? Hate it or Love it??

Swatches and Photos as promised!

 So this is my ELF haul- eek I also bought 3 brushes from the professional line; the black handled ones. The blush brush, complexion brush and angled foundation brush. I have used the complextion brush and angled foundation brush the most and they work well for the price! The complexion brush I have started using with my MAC MSF in Medium Deep to set my liquid foundation, I used to use the Mac 182 Kabuki and as it is a denser brush it doesn't pick up enough of the MSF so you would have to keep dipping it in the MSF and buffing it across your face to have the same effect of the complexion brush! I use my Kabuki for when I need to blend my foundation around my face and for when I do blush and bronzer- when I want to get rid of the harsh lines and make it more natural.

This was a totally random purchase from  Tesco (I am pretty sure its the biggest supermarket in the UK, there is one everywhere) and I currently use Hoola by Benefit for my bronzer and thought this would be worth trying out! The swatches are further down! It was £3.50

The Urban Decay Urban Ammo Eyeshadow Palette (10 eyeshadows), I have had this for 2 years! Bought it from asos.com

 There is a magnet in the palette which will keep your eyeshadows from breaking and getting everywhere which is quite handy as it would have to be fairly robust to have survived 2 years in my room!

 The Urban Decay Deluxe Palette which comes with a dinky UDPP, I love the packaging with the chainmail effect on the front of the palette.

 There are 9 eyeshadows in this palette, but they are considerably bigger than the ones in the Ammo Eyeshadow Palette.

 Sleek palettes are amazing quality and my wallet loves them too!

 Mainly neutrals with a few colours, mainly shimmer finish and there are 2 with matte finishes-ALSO extremely pigmented!

 All Sleek palettes in their permanent range have the same packaging!

 Again the majority of the finishes are a shimmer and there are 2 matte eyeshadows (including the matte black)

 This is the Limited Edition Bad Girl Palette

 The colours here would be more for a smoky eye look using the purples and blues as a lid colour. There are 4 matte eyeshadows I think! I didnt take notes when I took the darn pics!

 Out of the 3 Sleek Palettes that I bought, this is the only one with an insert to tell you the eyeshadow names. I think that Sleek should name all of their eyeshadows!

 Ok so the Urban Decay Deluxe palette, I like the fact that they have left considerable space between the pans as it will mean there is less colour transfer. I kind of get why they give the sponge tip applicators- as most of the eyeshadows have glitter on them- you need to press/pack them onto your eye; instead of brushing them; otherwise you will have fall out EVERYWHERE! I would have liked dinky samples of the other UDPP-the Sin and Eden version?? I dont want to buy a full sized bottle without first seeing the benefits of it. I love the colour selection in this palette-probably not really for an every day look, but the browns in the last row can be used if applied sheerly for an everyday look.

 BeautyUK is a drugstore brand; I picked this palette up from Superdrugs for £3.49; check the website for updated prices. They are the same size pan as the Coastal Scents 88 palettes and there is a mixture of matte and shimmer eyeshadows. They are gorgeous-I love them and definitely want to nab the other 5 palettes that they do. This one is called 'Earth Child'.

Ok, now cue the music; Jay Z and Alicia Keys 'In New York...' presenting Urban Decays holiday palette:

I have to admit, I have been hunting for the Urban Decay Naked Palette and was presented with a dirty tester palette with everyone and Santa Clause's grubby finger marks and gouges in it! Anyways; the hunt is still on!

The packaging is great; they didnt have one open in Boots so I was shocked at what happened when I opened it! I hadn't seen any other Book of Shadows or the Alice in Wonderland palette so I was very pleasantly surprised. Its RSP is £30!

This is the back insert which shows the pans that have been crumbled; 16 eyeshadows, 2 eyeliners and a dinky; but bigger UDPP than the one you get in the Deluxe Palette. I'm assuming its because you get more eyeshadows....

Ta da! It would have been so cool if they had put the soundtrack on it! My palette doesn't stay open though, it keeps wanting to stay shut. I have to almost bend it backwards to get it to stay open.

Look so pretty. The good stuff is in the drawer as you can see in the image below.

Finally...my ELF haul! Everything that I bought, was bought without reading up on it (naughty naughty) and I think I have read some reviews on this Mineral Infused Face Primer. I didnt find that many good reviews on it so I was dubious about using it and I put it off for a long time.

When I finally got around to using it, I had absolutely no problem with it! I used a different brush to put it on my face to the my foundation brush, because then your brush would kinda repel the foundation?! In my head anyways, so I let it sink in for a minute and then put my Mac Studio Fix Fluid on and it stayed on for the whole day no problem! I dont take a face powder to touch up with and it still lasted well!

Ok these eye transformers are kind of weird, or maybe I haven't got used to using them in the right way but I think that they were definitely a regret!

They look very pale on my NC 44.5 skin and the pay off is weird.

I have never ever used anything on my eyebrows before as I didnt realise that they had such an important part in a make up look! I get my eyebrows threaded and they are quite thin and the eyebrow kit is quite nice. I do need to get a spoolie brush and an angled brush to use it with because the tiny brush inside is too small and it doesnt really pick up any of the gel.

Again this was strange, I wasn't sure if I was supposed to use a bit of every colour like you would if it was a moasic colour wheel (NYC), but I haven't gotten around to using it correctly. I do have my eye on the Coastal Scents Colour Correcting Quad which is supposed to be great value for money!

This was a major regret-way too much shimmer! I really really like the NYC bronzer, it is soo much more pigmented!

Another regret-too much shimmer and it looks kind of grey on my skin tone.

I will definitely be picking up all the Sleek blushes as I have heard nothing but praise about them!

I bought some things yesterday from Boots: Benefit D'fine Liner, Benefit Pore fessional (amazing!), No 7 foundation (surprised I found something against my skin tone and a cool toned pink which has blue undertones to it!). Oh yeah, and I bought Nars Sheer Glow (lurve it!)

What have you bought recently?
