Hey there :)
So its been a month since I returned from my trip to the UK. I don't ever buy this much of makeup at once but this time, I bought quite a lot of stuff- kind of a crazy amount! But that's sort of what you do when you go for vacation, right? (lol!)
The things you will be seeing in this post is sort of a peak into what I'll be posting about in more detail in the next few days.
THE HIGH-END STUFF:
1. URBAN DECAY & SMASHBOX
Starting out with the much-hyped about palette which I was insanely excited to get:
Then I stumbled upon this lil thing which TOTALLY STOLE the naked 3's spotlight:
I guess I'm good to go without any more makeup for at least a year!
If you'd like to see swatches and/or reviews of any of these products let me know in the comments section or you can contact me on my Facebook :)

I was very excited to try the Laura Mercier products since I heard so much about them- So I got a highlighter and the much loved and talked about- silk cream foundation from their line.

Haven't worn the lipstick YET, but this lip liner, oh boy its become my fave!

7. BRUSHES!
Real Technique's brushes amaze me! They are inexpensive and really good quality. The blush brush has become my fave for a diffused and natural bronzed look
