What's New | Guerlain Terracotta Bronzing Powder and MAC Cork, Stripdown and Plum Lip Liners

I really don't mean to bombard you with all of these 'What's New' posts but my money just seems to be going on makeup b...

Well these aren't exactly new to my collection as you'll know if you've been following my blog for some time. They're in fact repurchases of my staple beauty products. I love Anastasia Beverly Hills brow products! I used to use her 'Brow Wiz' to fill in my eyebrows but I switched to the Dipbrow Pomade in February and have enjoyed it ever since. The initial Dipbrow Pomade that I bought early on in the year hasn't actually run out yet and in fact, I still have quite a lot left but there's no harm in having a back up right?

On the other hand, I have been scraping the bottom of my Kevyn Aucoin Sensual Skin Enhancer pot for some time now. I really did take a risk by purchasing a new pot so last minute. I haven't highlighted with any other concealer for a long time so even with the high price point, repurchasing was a must. I do believe this product is worth the price though as my last purchase of it was in August 2013 so it lasted well over a year! If you're not a daily makeup user like me, I'm pretty sure it will last you forever.

Although these products are quite pricey, I really don't mind splurging on them as a little goes a long way with both products. I obviously have no regrets buying them as I have decided to repurchase and if you can afford to do so, they are nice products to try out.

I was a little confused when the Kevyn Aucoin Sensual Skin Enhancer came in this gold packaging as last time I ordered, the box was dark red/wine and I haven't got wind that they've changed their packaging. In saying that, I don't have any doubts with where I purchased it from as it's a very reputable website. I was just a bit baffled but I do like the new look.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade (Ebony) - £15.00

Kevyn Aucoin Sensual Skin Enhancer (SX11) - £37.50

Both items were purchased from www.cultbeauty.co.uk.

Out of interest, has anyone recently ordered the Sensual Skin Enhancer and received this gold box?

What's New | MAC Uninterrupted Eyeshadow

This is one product that I was indecisive about all summer. You may or may not have noticed that it has featured on my Wishlist page . ...

I don't buy makeup as much as I used to but occasionally I do like to have a little splurge. These are the beauty products that I've purchased recently and I thought 'why not blog about them?'.

MAC Warm Neutral Palette

After years of perfecting my makeup base (foundation, highlighting/contouring, etc.) to my liking, those who have been following my blog would know that I've never really indulged in the whole eyeshadow thing. Simply because it just looks complicated lol. What kind of beauty blogger/makeup enthusiast doesn't own at least one eyeshadow palette? I know I've said numerous times that I want to practice eyeshadow application and didn't really make much of an attempt but buying a palette is the only way I'm going to motivate myself to get practicing. There were so many palettes out there to choose from but I knew I wanted a good quality palette to start off with. After deliberating, I ended up going for the MAC Warm Neutral Palette because I knew the quality of MAC eyeshadows wouldn't fail. I really like the shades in this palette as you all know how I like to keep things simple with nude/neutral tones. The palette consists of 15 warm neutral shades.

Price: £65.00

MAC 217 Blending Brush and MAC 239 Eye Shader Brush

It didn't make any sense buying an eyeshadow palette without brushes to apply the eyeshadow with. To start off with, I purchased both the blending brush and eye shader brush. I believe these should be OK to begin with and I guess as time goes on, I'll add more eyeshadow brushes to the collection.

Price (MAC 217): £19.00

Price (MAC 239): £21.00

MAC Brush Cleanser

This is a repurchase. I had stopped using it for a while (not sure why), then after using the tiny bit I had left at home, I realised that I actually need this lol. It's quite an effective product and makes cleaning your brushes easier.

Price: £11.00

KIKO Mat Base Corrector Primer

My usual primer (Black Radiance Shine Control Primer) ran out and I just didn't feel like repurchasing it, especially as you can only buy it as a 3-pack from Amazon. I noticed quite a few people have been talking about how good this KIKO primer is and KIKO products in general. This is the first product I've ever bought from them and I will let you know now before I write up a full review that this primer is amazing!

Price: £8.90
