UK Makeup Haul

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:

URBAN DECAY Naked 3 eyeshadow palette

Urban Decay Naked 3 eyeshadow palette

Then I stumbled upon this lil thing which TOTALLY STOLE the naked 3's spotlight:

SMASHBOX Full Exposure eyeshadow Palette

2. LAURA MERCIER STUFF

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.

3. GIVENCHY

I know Givenchy is available here as well but I totally forgot about it at the time! 

That nude lipstick is currently my fave nude :)

4. ELIZABETH ARDEN STUFF

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

(P.S, I totally forgot to take a picture of the actual bullet part of the lipstick, but don't worry cos I'll probably be doing in depth review and swatches of these products soon!)

THE DRUGSTORE STUFF:

More than anything else, I was totally looking forward to checking out the drugstore makeup there. Totally inexpensive compared to Jeddah!

5. BRONZERS

I haven't tried either of these enough to speak about them much- but I'm so STOKED about the Sleek bronzer!

(From L-R): SLEEK Face Contour Kit in Light, MAYBELLINE Dream Sun Bronzing Powder no. 02

6. LIPPIES

Haven't tried many of them yet, but loving the Revlon ones and the Collection one!

(From L-R): SLEEK Matte Me in Brink Pink, REVLON Matte Balms in Complex and Elusive, COLLECTION Cream Puff Lip Cream in Cotton Candy, MAYBELLINE Color Sensation Lipstick in Tantalizing Taupe.

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

(From L-R): 1st three are from the Real Techniques travel essentials kit, the last one is the Blush Brush.

I guess I'm good to go without any more makeup for at least a year!
