Christmas Beauty Review


Happy Sunday evening you gorgeous human beings! 



I'm currently on a 2 hour train ride back to Brighton after a lovely lunch with my family to celebrate Yasmin's birthday and I thought I'd share a quick beauty post with you all before the hectic week begins!  It's my first one and it's nothing special but be kind! haha

I don't know how this post escaped me! After I got all these beauties I had planned to write a post but I guess I just never got round to it! Its not too late right? We're still in Jan!


I'll take you through each product through picture's with a brief descriptions of why I love them!


*Warning * I get quite excited when I discover new make...or new anything TBH lol so words like "AHHHMMAAAZZZINGGG", "GORGEOUS" and "LOOOOVVEEE" may appear a number of times! 




NARS Cosmetics foundation in 'Tahoe'. 
This foundation is ahmmaazzing! It gives a dewy glow, lasts long and awakens your face. Always put a primer on before your foundation just so you have a sort of barrier between your skin and the foundation. I also use the NARS 'biscuit' concealer (forgot to get a picture of that!) I use it to highlight the face cover up unwanted blemishes. NARS is defo one of my go to brands! 











































*Obvs not my pic*
The Carli Bybel Palette.
OMG. I am OBSESSED with Carli and now I'm obsessed with her palette! It is gorgeous, so so pigmented; my pics probs don't do it justice you just HAVE to try it! I don't know how Pia got her hands on this thing but I am so so happy! 4 Highlighters  and 10 eyeshadows (which a couple can also be used as highlight). Don't have words for how gorge this is, you'll just have to wait and see it on me! (but if you can't wait that long then go check out her tutorials on youtube! ;) ) 
MAC Cosmetics 'Sunbasque' shimmer blush! 
I never really use blush because I never found one I really like that didn't give you that 'IM WEARING BLUSH' look. Lol..if ya get me?! So I especially love this one, its quite sheer so you can build it up to the way you like it. I use a shimmery bronzer by sleek so this blends in nicely, well done MAC! (And Karla!).

I got super excited and opened this right up (threw away the packing too) so I didn't get a pic but thank goodness for Google! Im a bit obsessed with my nails so anything that keeps them in tact is a winner for me! It's basically superfood for your nails, the middle one is a sheer white, perfect for the base of a french nail (as you can see mine in a couple pics) and the gorgeous baby pink is just gorgeous! I'm sure you'll be seeing my nails smothered in that stuff in my fashion posts! 


That's it for Christmas beauty...but its not totally over yet! I went to 'browse' in KIKO the other day after watching one of Carli's videos and bought an eyeshadow she suggested to use as a highlighter...best 'browse' decision I ever made!


         



Okay, so I bought more than the eyeshadow...how could I not?! The lip liners were only £1.20!!! I loooovvve January sales!!! They speak for themselves really, this eyeshadow '208'  is so similar to the Laura Gellar Gilded Honey highlighter so if you want something just as good and for more than half the price I highly suggest you try get your hands on one of these! Apparently they're always sold out but luckily I went in on delivery day! Wahoo! Going back to try find another one for my sister, yes its THAT good! 

Just one swipe! 

So that's it! Hope I've inspired you and fed your shopping addiction, #fiscalresponsibility! Haha Have a lovely week everyone! 


PS. Special shout out to my sister Yasmin, Happy Birthday you beautiful person! You continuously inspire me with your love,handwork and dedication! I love you! Xxx
