Space NK Haul !

So I went a bit mad at Space NK recently so here is my purchases from left to right.

Hourglass femme rouge lipstick icon;
This is my second Hourglass lipstick. Icon is a pink/red colour and is more pigmented than my last Hourglass lipstick which was more sheer. I love the formula of these lipstick they feel hydrating on the lips.

Nars penny lane cream blush;
My obsession with cream blushes has not finished yet. I have wanted this blush for a while now so I've finally got it. It's a great everyday blush in a peachy brown colour. It looks really natural on the cheek and retains its dewy finish on the skin.

Stila convertible colour trio warm;
As the name suggests there is 3 cream blush (I use them as blushes) the first one is honey suckle a soft pink colour (highly pigment to a light hand will be needed when using this) camellia a tan colour on my skin makes for a great cream bronzer. And finally gebera a sheer pink colour with gold flex's running throw it.

Stila stay all day eyeshadow trio first light;
A great little palette for caring around in your makeup bag. This one has a shimmer pink colour, a mauve/brown with plum flex's and a rich dark brown. You can use these colour wet to give a more intense look.

Living proof full thickening cream;
I have fine hair and are always looking for something that will make it look thicker. I have had only good things about Living proof product so I hope this work. It says on the pack to apply a dime size amount of product to wet, detangled hair. Starting just beyond the roots and working it through to the ends. Comb through and style with a blow dryer or air dry for a more tousled look.

Jeans are from Oasis these are also new. They are call the cherry jeans. In a skinny style. Which I could wear with ankle boots in the winter.
Shoes are from Bertie are old. They are a tan colour with a criss cross design with a bow. These are great with any outfit.

Brand of the month Revlon

Here is my collection of Revlon products; From back to front left to right.

Revlon colourstay top coat;
This is my current top coat I use when I am painting my nails. I find this helps keep my polish looking good for up to four days. It's not a high shine top coat but it makes my nails have a good shine to them.

Revlon nearly naked foundation ivory;
Slightly more coverage than a tinted moisturiser but you feel like you are wearing a tinted moisturiser. This colour is a perfect match for my skin tone. In this foundation they have a good range of colours. They also have a nearly naked powder to match.

Revlon colourstay foundation ivory;
Like the nearly naked foundation this is a perfect match for my skin tone. This foundation is a medium to full coverage foundation. It's quiet matte, so when I wear it I mix it with some liquid highlighter to give it a more dewy finish.

Revlon colourstay eyeshadow palettes;
I have three colourstay palettes, these palettes are nice and compact which makes them ideal for in you makeup bag and will take you from day to night. The first palette is attitude all of these palettes contain four shadows. This one has a soft pink (base colour), taupe (base or contour) chocolate brown (outer corner or liner) plum brown (smoky eye). The addictive palette contains peach (base) taupe (base or contour) grey (contour or outer corner) chocolate brown (smoky eye or liner). The adventurous palette has white with gold through it (highlighter) metallic green, bronze and plum (smoky eye).

Revlon lipsticks;
I have five lipsticks. Two matte, two creme and one pearl finish. The first lipstick is pink pout which is a matte finish in a mauve cool pink colour.Which I use in today's makeup look #12. The next one is a creme lipstick pink in the afternoon a pink with red tones. Then there is black cherry which has become a bit of a icon product, is a creme finish in a dark plum colour.I often use black cherry as a kind of stain. Next is mauve it over is a matte finish brown with pink tone, not unlike Mac's teddy. Finally in a pearl finish blushing mauve a red with brown tones.

Revlon lip butters;
These lip butter have become a cult favourite. I love these they are so easy to use and feel amazing on the lips. The colours I have are peach parfait (peach/coral) berry smoothie (dark pink) macaroon (red/pink) and candy apple (red/orange).

Revlon colourburst lip glosses;
I have two of these, they both are non-sticky. The first is peony a sheer coral colour and rose pearl is a brown/red but is more of a liquid lipstick formula.
