BEAUTEUR'S FIRST GIVEAWAY!
Thursday, 7 January 2016
Wow this is so exciting!!! When I started my little blog back in September I set myself some goals by the end of the year and my Twitter followers goal was 550, who would've thought I would double my goal! I recently reached 1000 followers and as I promised, here I am with a giveaway! I would love to take a moment to thank you every single one of you that check out my blog occasionally or even if you're brand new to Beauteur for taking the time to visit, it really means a lot to me!

Hello!
This week I decided to write an extra post (look at me, more than three post this week!) because I thought it would be a good idea to set up an advertising page on my blog and what a better way to advertise than swapping buttons?
Everything cost money these days (including advertising) so I thought it'd be great to meet some bloggers (bloggers I already know are still more than welcome to participate!) and swap buttons on each other's blog? That way we'd help both mine and your blog to get more views and followers simply by having each other's buttons displayed in our blogs and it would be completely free.
So if you'd like to swap buttons and be blogging friends you can either send me an e-mail to montse@beauteur.com or you can leave a comment underneath with your blog link and button (and please let me know where in your blog I can find my own button)!
My buttons:

The home section is amazing, I literally wanted to buy everything in there but again, it was so packed in there I couldn't have a proper look so I just grabbed a pretty candle holder (£2.99).
Now, the beauty section, oh my God. I know every body had been raving about their beauty products but I had never seen them before in any H&M store so I was so happy to see there is a full beauty department in this new store. I obviously had to check it out, regardless of all the people in my way. I can honestly say I spend over 40 minutes browsing and swatching everything!
I love the packaging of their products and the way it was all presented made me want to buy every single piece of make up. Obviously I couldn't afford that so I had to narrow it to the following items.





I got two eye shadows (Down to Earth and Wild Sable). As you might know by now if you read my blog, I love berry colours and browns so I couldn't leave without getting these two shades. There is so many different shades in this collection that it was hard deciding which ones to take home (I have a feeling I will end up getting a lot more of these). They are highly pigmented and they're only £4.99.
Next I moved onto the lip section and for a lipstick addict that was a bit of a torture because I can honestly say I loved all the colours! The packaging of the lipsticks is amazing and gold but in the end I decided to go for this lip stain in the shade Chic Choc. It's similar to MAC Mauve, just a little bit darker, which I love. I got a lip liner too (Cherry Tart), again berry colour. This lip liner is extremely pigmented and it wasn't easy to take it off my arm when I did the swatches so I'm hoping it will last long on my lips!
Talking about lips, just like most people my lips get really badly chapped in winter and they look horrible so when I saw this lip scrub I had to get it. It smells amazing too! I will let you know if it works when I've been using it for a while!
I also got a eye shadow blending brush and a lash curler because I love the rosy golden colour so much!
So here's everything I got at the H&M opening. Everything was 25% off yesterday so I did end up saving quite a lot of money!
Have you tried any of H&M beauty products? What do you think of the package? I think it's all beautiful and looks very expensive considering the price!

I found this a while ago when looking for blog post ideas and I thought it'd be fun to give it a go! Here's my Would you rather? Beauty Edition.
1.) Would you rather lose all of your mascaras, eyeliners, lipsticks, and lip glosses or lose all of your palettes and eye shadows?
I'd rather lose my palettes and eye shadows. I can't live without lipstick and mascara so this one is easy!
2.) Would you rather chop off all your hair or never be able to cut it again?
I'd rather chop it all off. I actually prefer short hair.
3.) Would you rather have a coral cheek or a pink cheek?
Coral, definitely. I'm not the biggest fan of pink on my cheeks, coral is a lot more subtle I think.
4.) If you had £1000 to spend, would you rather buy clothes or makeup?
Ha! Make up, without a doubt!
5.) Would you rather apply lipstick as eyeliner, or eyeliner as lipstick?
Oh god, mmm, probably lipstick as eyeliner, I couldn't deal with the dryness on my lips if I used eyeliner on them.
6.) Would you rather only shop at MAC or Sephora?
Sephora, there's a lot more choices there.
7.) Would you rather only use one eyeshadow color or one lip color for the rest of your life?
Probably one eye shadow color. I'd make sure it's pretty neutral so I can use all lip colours I want!
8.) Would you rather wear winter clothes in summer or summer clothes in winter?
I hate being hot so winter clothes in summer would be no good for me, definitely summer clothes in winter.
9.) Would you rather have dark nails or bright nails all year round?
Dark nails.
10.) Would you rather give up your favorite lip product or your favorite eye product?
I'd give up the eye product. I love lipstick.
11.) Would you rather only be able to wear your hair in a ponytail or a messy bun?
Messy bun if it looked like the pictures on Pinterest! Mine's actually very poor.
12.) Would your rather never be able to paint your nails again or never use lip gloss?
I'm not too fuss on nails to be honest and I'm not the biggest fan of lip gloss so I wouldn't be devastated without either of those.
13.) Would you rather shave your eyebrows and have none at all or sharpie them in everyday?
Sharpie them every day. Even tho doing my eye brows is what I hate the most about doing my make up, I wouldn't like not having them.
14.) Would you rather live without makeup or nail polish?
I definitely can live without Nail polish, a billion times. Like a said, I'm not too fuss on nail polish and I love make up so it's a no brainer.
What about you? What would you rather? I nominate all of you to do this tag, make sure you leave me a link so I can read your responses! :)

Believe it or not, I've had a MAC gift card in my purse since my birthday last May. How have I managed to not buy anything there for so long you'll ask, well I don't know. I guess I have been waiting for a special occasion to get my make up done and get the most of the gift card but up until now I haven't had any major events to go to. I couldn't wait any longer so in the end I just got my make up done there just because, because I really wanted to get some new products. I honestly had MAC withdraw.
So here's the products I got.
Eye Shadow - Deep Truth.
I've been wanting a very dark blue eye shadow for a long time, I want to do a make up look where the crease is black and the lid is packed up with this dark blue. I shall let you know how it looked!
Eye Shadow - Nocturnelle.
I saw this shade and I literally fell in love with it. I love purples to give some colour to the eyes and I think purples look great on dark eyes.
Lipstick - Antique Velvet.
For some reason it looks purple-ish in this photo, but I can assure you it's mega brown, literally the brownest brown I've ever seen! It looks stunning on and it has a matte finish, which I love.
Eyebrow Pencil - Spiked.
I've been on the hunt for a very thin eye brow pencil for ages and I think I've found it. It's very precise.
To Go Pigment.
This is like a green-purple-gold metallic pigment and it looks amazing on olive skins,
Here's everything I bought in this MAC haul this time, do you have any of this products? Let me know what your favorite MAC eye shadows are as I think I'll be buying a lot more of these dark colours!

This is my most favorite look. I wear it very often and I wear it during the day or for a night out, I think it works very well for any occasion. If you'd like to know how to achieve this look keep on reading!
When I do an eye make up like this, I always start with the eyes as it does get a bit messy working with black eye shadow. In this occasion I used a light orange shade from a palette I got from eBay (here) all over my crease and blended it all the way to the brow bone.
Next I mixed the two shades from the middle row second and third from the left from the same palette and properly defined the crease, repeating the process a couple of times. Then with a flat brush I used the black shade all over the lid and blended the crease again with the same colours I used before to avoid any sharp lines between the black and the browns. I then repeated the progress again as I wanted to black to look very dark. After that I used the brown shade on my lower lash for the smokey look.
As for the face, I used my Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk foundation for the airbrush finish and the Revlon Colorstay concealer under my eyes and t-zone to brighten up my face.
Instead of contouring, I used Balm Desert by The Balm for my cheeks for a more natural finish.
For the lips, I used MAC Stone which I think it's a great shade for this time of the year.
What do you think of this look?

Well, whilst I agree that it's refreshing and doesn't irritate my eyes, this product was a big fat disappointment for me. I honestly do not get the good reviews this product is receiving!
I used it every day for two weeks and here's my thoughts.
When it comes to taking make up off, I feel like it really didn't do a great job. I use a very thin foundation as well so I can't even imagine what is like if you use a thick foundation like ColorStay every day. I noticed that I had to use a lot of product and it was very hard to control how much came out of the bottle. I had too use at least 5-6 cotton pads and a lot of patience to remove my make up and to be honest, by the time I'm taking my make up off is probably late at night and all I want is go to bed so I found it quite annoying that it took me over five minutes to completely clean my face as I didn't feel like my face was cleared of make up and I had to then go back to my normal routine which obviously added another good few minutes.
This product also didn't work on my waterproof mascara, I honestly looked like a little panda and it was so hard to get rid of the black eyes that I eventually gave up and used my regular cleansing milk (N7 Cleansing Lotion).
Despite being refreshing, I've noticed that in the last two weeks my skin has been feeling a lot dryer as well and I think it could be due to using this cleanser as I've just got back to my normal routine and it already feels slightly better.
So for me this product didn't work at all and I won't be buying it again. Is it really worth the hype? No. Like I said before, I really don't get why people like this product so much, sure it's cheap but it doesn't really do the job. I much prefer spending a little bit more money and get it done in a minute than having to sit there for ages rubbing my make up off.
What do you think? Do you love this cleansing water or do you agree with me that this isn't worth all the hype?

Hello!
Today I have a post a little bit different. It's no lie I'm literally obsessed with Pinterest and one of the things I like 'pinning' the most is home decor. As Beauteur is a beauty blog I decided to show you my dream vanity tables, beauty rooms and some beauty decor in general. What do you think? Interesting?
I get mixed emotions when scrolling down my phone on Pinterest. On one hand I get filled of happiness seeing those beautiful pictures and on the other hand my heart melts a little bit of how jealous and poor I am and how I would never be able to keep it so nice and tidy. But never mind, I hope you guys enjoy this pictures as much as I do!
So this is it, to be honest, there is millions of vanities that I'm jealous of, I just couldn't put them all on here! If you're on Pinterest and would like to follow me (I pin pretty much every day) just click here!
What do you think of these beauty rooms? <3 Do you already have something similar? Make sure you show it to me so I can be more and more jealous!
See you soon!

Hello beautiful people, I've decided once a month I'm going to do a battle of the lipsticks (BOTL) comparing two lipsticks that are quite similar somehow whether is texture, colour, price or finish. I will give my honest opinion about both and at the end I will decide which of the two wins for me. I thought it would be fun, what do you think?
For the first battle of the lipsticks I chose Revlon Creme Mink (£7.99) and L'Oreal Color Riche Matte Erotique (£6.99). I've been testing both of them now and all I can think is, how the hell am I going to chose between these two? I mean, Revlon is probably my favorite brand for lipsticks but have you seen how beautiful the L'Oreal one is? I think I've f*&%ed myself over by choosing these two! Never mind, let's get to business.
Mink has got more of a brown tone while Erotique has more of a pink base. As for the finish, Erotique is definitely matte as oppose of the glossy finish of Mink.
I've been wearing these two lipsticks only for the last two weeks and I've come to the conclusion that even tho matte lipsticks normally last longer on, in this case I have to give the point to Mink as it's definitely stayed all day long before without me having to re-touch it at all.
The packaging... well, I have to give it to L'Oreal simply because it's gold and it just looks expensive even tho the Revlon one is £1 more.
(left Erotique, right Mink)
Overall, I think both of them are awesome. They're both good quality lipsticks, very pretty colours and finishes for any look. It's a tough decision as I really do like both and even tho I like the matte finish of L'Oreal Erotique I love the darker colour of Revlon Mink. Mink also last slightly longer and it's more of an autumn colour, however the packaging for Erotique is just out of this world and I makes me want to have the whole collection but for the simple fact that I prefer the colour and it stays on for longer I have to go with Revlon Mink! Like I've mentioned before Revlon is one of my favorite brands for lipstick and they didn't disappoint with this one.
Which one do you prefer? Do you have either of these two? Let me know which one would you choose!

Hello lovelies!
I have been buying way too much stuff the last week. I should be getting my Christmas shopping started but instead I just keep buying make up. However, I don't feel very guilty about this haul as it really cost me less than £10 including PP. How? With Fragrance Direct. If you've never heard of this website go check it out as they sell a lot of stuff with massive discounts. I've got products from FD a few times now and the delivery is always quick and efficient.
On this occasion I went a little bit lip crazy. Starting with the Maybelline Moisture Extreme Lipstick in the shade Caramel Creme. It retails for £4.99 and I got it for £1.49, It;s a little bit too shiny for me but I think I'll stick a bit of powder on top to get a more of a matte finish. Up next is the L'Oreal Infallible Lip Liner in the shade Stay Ultraviolet. It retails for £4,29 and I got it for £1,50. I love this color on, It looks like a toned down purple and I think it would suit most people. Next one in line is the Astor Lip Pencil in Rosewood. Retails for £2,99 and I got it for £0.99. This one has a little bit more of a red tone to it and it lasts all day. Followed up by the L'Oreal Contour Parfait in Rose Beige, Retails for £4.29 and I got it for £1.99 I do love this collection, I have five different ones but up until now I didn't have a nude colour and this one is perfect. And last but not least, I got this Playboy Gloss in Hot Toddy just because it looked like a very pretty colour and it was originally £10.99 and I got it for £1.49 so it seemed like a really good deal. I have never had anything by Playboy (in fact, I didn't even know they did make up) but this gloss is amazing!

I also got two blushers by Fashionista. Butterscotch (left) and Blush (right). I must admit these aren't the best blushers I've ever tried but they're not the worst either and considering they only cost £0.50 each (the retail price is £4.00) I couldn't say no. These two shades are really pretty but if you want to show any colour at all you have to build it up quite a lot but if you're like me and you just like a slight touch of colour on your cheeks these are perfect for that.
I also got a grey NYC Long Lasting Nail Polish. This was a little bit disappointing as I didn't find it long lasting at all, in fact, the next day it was all chipped and it looked horrible!
If you'd like to have a look at the website you can check it out here. They have really cheap brands and more high end brands like MAC or Bobbi Brown.
So this is it, my under £10 online make up haul. What do you think? Have you shopped at FD before?

We all know how amazing and affordable Real Techniques brushes are. However, if you'd like an even cheaper alternative that work just as well just keep reading.
Me being the eBay freak that I am, I discovered these dupes just browsing around and seeing how they looked exactly the same I decided to order one to see if not only they looked the same but worked as well as the real ones. Now I have six. Honestly, they work exactly the same as the real ones and I've had them all for over six months now. I've washed them over and over and I still haven't found any faults.
These brushes are between £1.50 to £3, depending on where you get them from. I get mine from here. They come from China so they do take a while to get to you but it's well worth the wait for the price as you pay no postage and packaging either.
So if like me you're always skint and always trying to find the best bargains, this is definitely one of them!

I thought it would be a good idea to share with you guys all the palettes I own from MUR and briefly comment what I like and don't like about them.
I'm going to start with the face palettes.
Ultra Cover and Concealer Palette Light - As you can see I only use a couple of the shades (the lightest ones). I don't use them on my under eyes as I feel like they crease quite a lot after a while, so I use it for my brow bones and around my lips to clean any unwanted lipstick. It's due to own preference, I prefer more 'liquidy' concealers rather than creamy like this.
Ultra Blush and Contour Palette Sugar and Spice - (top left) This colours are super pretty, but I find myself only using it in the summer months as they're a bit too pink for me. You have to be very careful when using this are they're mega pigmented!
Ultra Blush and Contour Palette Hot Spice - (top right) Now this one I love! The colours are a lot softer and natural. I use this one daily, especially the one in the top left corner. Isn't it pretty?
Iconic 3 - (left - UD Naked 3 dupe) Since I've had this one I've barely touched my Naked Palette 3 much as it's pretty much the same! Sure the Urban Decay one is more pigmented but it's also five times more expensive. I really love this palette, the lighter colours I find I have to pack on a lot of product and maybe go over twice, but that doesn't really bother me much, not for £4.
Essential Mattes - Now this one I thought I was going to love, as I'm a big fan of matte eyeshadow, however, it's not my favorite. I don't seem to want to reach for it very often and I don't really know why. I guess they're not as pigmented as I expected.
Iconic Pro 2 - I love the colours on this one. There a mix of matte and shimmery shades and they all complement each other very well. I love the silver one and the purple on the bottom right corner.
Salvation Palette Unicorns Unite - This is the newest one I have. The colours are so vibrant and amazing I couldn't refuse buying it. I use the greens in the bottom middle quite a lot!
Salvation Palette Run Boy Run - This one is without a doubt my favorite palette of all the ones I own by MUR. I use it very, very often. It's super pigmented and it does stay on all day. I love the reddish colour and the black one. I use the bottom three matte ones as transition shades all the time!
I Heart Make Up Fast Love - I got this palette because I love all the colours but I was a bit disappointed as it's definitely not as good as all the others, not as pigmented.
I Heart Make Up N1 - I don't think they do this palette anymore *at least I can't find it on their online store* which is a shame because I really like it. The highlighted in the bottom right corner is amazing, and the dark colours like the black and dark purples are amazing!
So these are all the MUR Palettes that I have so far. Some of them have a lot of similar colours and I barely use but I just like having them all and if I could I would have every single palette they've ever made *getting there slowly*!
Do you have any of these? Do you like MUR as much as I do? Let me know what you think if you have any of these! :)

When it comes to 'every day' make up I have no rules. Some days I go full on Oscar's worthy make up and other's a barely wear any regardless of what time of the day it is. Of course for a special night or occasions I try to go the extra mile but that doesn't mean I don't do that on a regular basics anyway. I really don't know if I'm making any sense right now! My point is, I could easily wear red lipstick or a very elaborated eye make up to go to work or I could literally put a little bit of foundation and mascara and head out the door.

I feel like I've already achieved quite a lot since I started my blog only three weeks ago. Of course it's not going viral or anything like that but to me, a thousand views in three weeks is a very good number! I try not to compare myself with other bloggers as most of the bloggers I follow have been doing this for a very long time and I don't even know how their blog was doing a month into starting it. I don't really know what the 'normal' statistics are so I decided to set my own goals, all of them I believe very realistic. These are very humble numbers but they're goals I'd be more than happy with if I achieved them within the next two and half months before the next year.
- Reach 550 followers on Twitter. I'm on about 470 at the moment so this shouldn't be too hard to achieve.
- Have 2000 views on my blog. I just achieved my 1000 view a couple of days ago after three weeks so I'm hoping to get another thoisand views before the end of the year.
- Reach 100 followers on Bloglovin'. This seems to be the hardest one for me, at the moment I have 65 followers so I don't know if this is a realistic goal, but do-able none the less.
- Get one guest post. I'd love for another blogger to star guest post on my blog.
- Improve my photography skills. I know this one will take a long time and knowing myself I will never be 100% happy, but I hope to learn new skills and techniques to help me improve the pictures on my blog.
These are my goals, very little compared to other people's but they're realistic. I prefer having small goals and actually reaching them than hoping for 5000 followers on Twitter and be years away from it! I will do another post at the beginning of 2016 with a year long goals and I will also let you know how I did with this goals in the last two months.
What are you blogging goals?

I have always loved lip liners a lot more than lipsticks. I think they last way longer, are less messy, more precise and they have a matte finish which I love. I know some people will say that lip liners are to go under your lipstick to make it last longer and all that, but I like to wear the lip liner by itself without lipstick as I just love how it looks!
Today I''ve decided to mention the lip liners that are always in my handbag, no matter what.
Now, as you can see, all of these are high street brands because I think you don't have to spend a lot of crazy money to find a good lip liner. I have a few MAC ones and to be honest, I can't tell much difference between them and Barry M for example! So here's some affordable yet amazing lip liners!

For the last few years I have been obsessed with YouTube, to the point where I even had my own channel! I can literally spend hours watching beauty videos!
Today I decided to talk about my top five favorite beauty vloggers and yes, most of them have thousands, even millions of followers but I also follow vloggers with a lot less followers so if you'd like me to do a post with less 'famous' youtubers please let me know!

I know I am a little bit late as it's been a week since October made it's appearance but it's ok, we're all friends here right?
Today I'm gonna be talking about my September favorites! These are the products I feel I reached out the most during last month!
First of all, YSL Fusion Ink foundation. I recently wrote a review post about it and I've literally used every day since I got it. Maybe I shouldn't use it everyday because it is quite pricey but hey, it just looks beautiful on my skin! If you want to read the review click here.
Pantene Instant Nourishing Spray for Fine Hair. As I've mentioned before on my mane n tale post, I have really thin and breakable hair so when I saw this in the pound shop (yes, it only cost me £1!) I couldn't resist it. This spray is awesome! It de-tangles my hair so easily so my hair doesn't break as much! I've been finding a lot less hairs in my brush since I've been using this so it must be helping! Also the fresh smell is to die for!
Next on my September favorites is the fairly new Bronze & Sculpt Contour Kit by MUA Luxe. This duo kit has a highlighter and a bronze and it comes in two different shades (light/medium, medium/dark), mine is med/dark. Now, isn't the packaging pretty?! MUA has really 'up their ante' with all these new products they've just released as everything looks a lot more expensive than it actually is! Anyway, I've been loving this, specially the bronze as it's not 'in your face'. It contours your face really easily and it really does look very natural! The shimmery highlighter is lovely too although I haven't been using it as much as the bronze.
Next is the Lord & Berry blush in Lotus. I got this blusher with my Birchbox back in August and I literally have not used any other blusher for the last few weeks. It's such a nice matte colour and I can tell that it probably looks amazing on most skin tones.
The Vivid Baked Highlighter by MUR is definitely one of my favorite highlighters at the moment. It's very subtle which I love as I don't like to glow too much! I have their three shades but this one (golden lights) it's without a doubt my favorite. I use it to highlight my cheeks, cupid bow and the arch of my eyebrows!
Now have you seen the new New Look's make up collection? I'm honestly in love with their products! I've liked every single thing I've tried by them. Here's the Pure Colour Liquid Gloss in the shade Mocha. Even tho it's a gloss it dries matte and it lasts all day (not exaggerating) and it doesn't dry out my lips at all! If you haven't tried anything from the NL make up do try it, it's awesome!
And last but not least, another MUA Luxe product, Pro-Brow Eyebrow Kit. The ultimate kit, shapes, shade and highlight. To be honest, I've only used the gel and the powder as I use other highlighters as I've mentioned before but I do love this kit. It comes with a mirror too which is quite handy! I do find the black shade sometimes it's a bit too dark for me so I have to use the dark-brown one but if you hair is really black this would be perfect for you!
So here they are, my September favorites! Have you tried any of this products? What are your September favorites?

Today I'm gonna be talking about my September favorites! These are the products I feel I reached out the most during last month!
First of all, YSL Fusion Ink foundation. I recently wrote a review post about it and I've literally used every day since I got it. Maybe I shouldn't use it everyday because it is quite pricey but hey, it just looks beautiful on my skin! If you want to read the review click here.
Pantene Instant Nourishing Spray for Fine Hair. As I've mentioned before on my mane n tale post, I have really thin and breakable hair so when I saw this in the pound shop (yes, it only cost me £1!) I couldn't resist it. This spray is awesome! It de-tangles my hair so easily so my hair doesn't break as much! I've been finding a lot less hairs in my brush since I've been using this so it must be helping! Also the fresh smell is to die for!
Next on my September favorites is the fairly new Bronze & Sculpt Contour Kit by MUA Luxe. This duo kit has a highlighter and a bronze and it comes in two different shades (light/medium, medium/dark), mine is med/dark. Now, isn't the packaging pretty?! MUA has really 'up their ante' with all these new products they've just released as everything looks a lot more expensive than it actually is! Anyway, I've been loving this, specially the bronze as it's not 'in your face'. It contours your face really easily and it really does look very natural! The shimmery highlighter is lovely too although I haven't been using it as much as the bronze.
Next is the Lord & Berry blush in Lotus. I got this blusher with my Birchbox back in August and I literally have not used any other blusher for the last few weeks. It's such a nice matte colour and I can tell that it probably looks amazing on most skin tones.

Last week I talked about my favorite autumn lipsticks so I thought today it'd be a good day to talk about autumn eye shadows!
As I said a few times before now, I am a big fan of autumn/winter make up. I just think it suits my style a lot more than spring/summer make up. Browns, purples and bold colours are my favorite and so it's no surprise I get really excited when the first leaf touches the floor. <3
Here's a few of my favorite eye shadows for this time of the year!
I'll start talking about the palette on the left. I bought this on Ebay for about £5 and I swear it's such a good palette (I'll have a blog post in a couple of weeks with beauty finds on Ebay and I'll definitely be talking about this one in more depth).
The colours are all matte and b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l. I honestly can't think of nicer colours that those and the pigmentation is actually great! My favorites are the burgundy in the middle and the medium brown on the top right corner.
The other palette is the Run Boy Run by Make Up Revolution. MUR is probably my favorite high street brand. It's very affordable and the quality is great. This palette I believe is £6 and I must say the colours look amazing on. There's six matte shadows and 12 shimmery ones. As you can see I've been using the burgundy quite a lot too on this one!
As for the single shadows, there's two ELF (purple and grey) and a New Look (gold). The three of them are shimmery and very pigmented too!

Well hello!
If your hair is anything like mine (thin, easily breakable, volume-less and just plain boring) trust me, you want these beauties in your life.
Ok, ok, the packaging isn't very sexy, the name makes you think twice about using it and those two horses...well, they don't help. But hey, who cares? I'm here to tell you how awesome this product is.

A girl can dream right? With Christmas pretty much around the corner (YAY!:D) I thought I'd put together a wishlist of things I've been wanting for a while. (The prices shown here may vary)
Too Faced Born This Way Foundation £26
I hate to say this but I have never tried anything by Too Faced! I know, SAY WHAAT! But I've literally read so many reviews on this foundation and all of them are great so me being the foundation junkie that I am..well, I want to try it and I want to love it.
Zoeva Rose Golden Luxury Set 2 £65
Well this are out of this world. How beautiful! Zoeva brushes are such good quality (I only have two) and they're just so pretty!
Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Kit £50
This is probably the most talked about brow kit on the internet and I want it. I'm rubbish at doing my eyebrows so hopefully they'll look slightly better with this.
Kat Von D Contour Palette £46
I have always been a big fan of Kat Von D so when I heard a while ago that she has her own make up line I got so excited but unfortunately I haven't had the chance to buy anything from it yet and this contour kit looks amazing so it'll definitely be my first KVD purchase.
YSL Forever Youth Liberator Serum £65
I haven't got any good serums and this one has really good reviews. I have been loving YSL lately and I want to try a lot more of their products!
Candy L'eau Kiss by Prada £40
I don't know if you've smelled this but it smells amazing! I must admit that pretty much everytime I go to Boots I end up spraying myself with this beauty.
Have you got any of this products? What's on your wishlist for this christmas?
