I have been in need of some new makeup and skincare products for a while. I always buy from LookFantastic when I have a list of things to buy as they seem to have every brand and every product on there.
First up is the ABH brow pomade in the shade 'taupe'. I did originally purchase this in the shade 'soft brown', however it was a couple of shades darker than I expected it to be. So when this one arrived, I gave the other pomade to my sister. I love everything about this pomade, the way it smoothly glides on, the consistency and a little bit of product goes a long way so it's definitely worth the money.
Another little product that seems to be everyone's favourite is the Hoola bronzer from Benefit. When I first opened this up, I actually thought it was going to be a little too dark for me but it's actually the perfect shade.
I also finally got my hands on the NARS radiant creamy concealer. As you know, I love the NARS weightless luminous foundation, so I just had to purchase one of their concealers too. I got it in the colour 'vanilla' and again, it's the perfect shade for me. My opinion so far is that it blends out really nicely and it doesn't crease!
Onto skincare now, I bought the Burts Bees Mama Bee belly butter. No, I'm not pregnant. But, this has been highly rated and recommended for stretch marks. Since losing and gaining weight I have some pretty bad stretch marks that have appeared on the backs of my knees. I currently use bio-oil in the evenings - I hate applying it in the mornings before work because I hate the oily feeling against my tights. So, this butter should be perfect to use in the mornings.
Another skincare product that ended up in my basket was the MIO shrink to fit cellulite smoother. This product wasn't actually on my to-buy list, I was just browsing the site when I came across it. Even though having cellulite is completely normal and the majority of women have it, considering I'm 22 years old, I have it pretty bad on the backs of my legs and bum. I don't expect it to completely clear up but I'd be super happy with a little difference. So, as this had amazing reviews and was most recommended, I bought it.
Lastly, I've been needing a new sharpener for my lipliners and eyeliners for ages and I always forget to put it on my list. This time, I actually remembered! It's only the Brush Works brand and was only a couple of pound. It'll do the job.
I love the NARS radiant creamy concealer, I really need to repurchase!

NARS is probably going to be one of my all time favourite brands and I'll love every product they stock x
DeleteIsn't Hoola just theeeeee best bronzer ever x
ReplyDeleteIt is! I don't know why I hadn't tried it sooner x
DeleteIt is funny you should say that about the brow pomade. I have soft brown but do wonder if I should have opted for taupe. It's a great product, I have had mine ages and there is still so much left. I can see it lasting way beyond it's actual shelf life.
